📋 About This Mod

Overall (hopefully) better balance but a harder game overall. Weapon damage, spells, creature damage all increased greatly, but NPC/creature health and abilities have also been increased.

This is the early version of an overhaul for Oblivion Remastered. OR actually makes many enemies much weaker, in some cases making them have 60% or less of their original health value. In addition, some had their damage nerfed. I assume they did this so anyone could beat the game on normal without effort. To compensate the people who do know how to play, they made "expert" an insane step up in difficulty. I have seen people list numbers but, in my tests, on expert I do about 30% of my normal damage and enemies do about 3X their damage. That is insane for one step up. We had band aid fixes in the first 24 hours, which I appreciate, but they are just band aids. To really fix things you need to fix pretty much everything.

So what does this mod do?

1) Weapon and Spell damage have been greatly increased. Weapons received 4X-7X damage increases (2 handers needed more of a buff than 1 handers) Spells are 2X-3X as damaging. The intent is for combat to be deadlier for you and NPCs. Damage resistance in this mod is capped at 75%, but even at 75%, 100 damage becomes 25%. With a massive damage increase, you must now really focus on dodging or blocking blows.

2) Spells in most cases are 2X-3X. There are spells that hit super hard, so I feel that is enough. For some weak spells, I raised the number more. Enchants are 2X in most cases, with some adjustments.

3) I did a huge number of edits to enemies. First, I did the quick and dirty script to double their damage and increase their health by 50% (keep in mind, Oblivion Remastered (OR) nerfed a lot of them HARD, so this helped fix that. However, I also lowered the amount of health they get per level, to reduce health bloat at higher levels. I then went through, and hand edited a lot of them. Adjusted health, damage, and abilities. A quick example is Mud crabs were given 25% "normal Weapon resist" They have a hard shell after all.. don't worry you should still beat them with ease, just not AS easily. Another example are Minotaur's are 800 lbs and are exceedingly weak, I buffed them a lot. Trolls are another example. They are  the size of a gorilla, and they have like 40 or 50 hp in the base game, and hit like a wet noodle. It makes ZERO sense. I made them about 3X tougher. Ogres are very tough. Goblins are actually about as big as a human, and yet they have 30 health (I'm talking after the tutorial) Thats ridiculous. I buffed them, and endless other enemies. It should be harder to just steamroll an Oblivion Gate now.

4) We all know about the horrible level scaling in Oblivion, but it goes both ways. Many enemies are locked at -2, -3, -4 levels under the player. I removed that for a lot of them. There is some level scaling, but rather than 1-50, I made it a lot more reasonable, like an Ogre is 16-24 as an example. Goblins maybe 4-12, etc. I also gave buffs to a lot of common enemies. Bandits are now level 5 minimum. That means yes, the ban
