After putting in around 70 hours with the Remaster, I can honestly say I have no complaints about the remaster itself—it’s really well done. That said, some of the older mechanics are definitely starting to show their age. A couple things I’ve been thinking about modding-wise: 1. Magicka Scaling Feels Outdated: I didn’t pick a magic-based birthsign, so even with 100 Intelligence, my total Magicka caps at 200—and it just stays there. It feels weird that your Magicka doesn’t keep scaling the way Health does with Endurance. A mod that updates Magicka scaling to be more dynamic (like how Health increases over time) would make playing a hybrid or non-mage character a lot more interesting. 2. Soul Trap Needs a Refresh: Soul trapping is a cool mechanic in theory, but in practice it feels clunky. On higher difficulties, enemies are tanky, so enchanted weapons run out of juice fast. I think the system would feel way smoother if capturing a soul also gave your weapon a bit of a recharge. A mod that tweaks soul trapping to support that kind of flow would really help balance out magic-based combat.

Considering we are 5 days into the release and have just under 900 mods as a community I think it is safe to say that modding for this game is going to keep exploding from here. As a community what New Lands Mod (in the vein of "Beyond Skyrim: Bruma", "Project Cyrodil", "Tamriel Rebuilt", ect) do you think will be made first? I'm hoping for something in Black Marsh but with Elder Scrolls 6 somewhere on the horizon I think Hammerfall will be more likely. Thoughts?

Please tell me that was the first thing you tried to do after exiting the sewers

I'm so happy this is finally here! I haven't played a base game version of Oblivion since I got my PC! My question to you all is what Mods do you want to see sooner rather then later? -I think I am tied between wanting Camping/Survival mods, or a utility mod that removes the sales confirmation text when interacting with vendors. Additionally are there any mods for "Old-blivion" that you want to see recreated for this? Thanks!
