First my mini-rant:
We all know how bland Oblivion is. Period.
Now my flame material:
Yet I think the Editor they provided is excellent. I think it's really sad to see such technical excellence go along with such plain game designer stupidity. I think even the Joe off the street would've done a better job at making a believable gameworld, yet even the best programmers at my university wouldn't be up to the task of creating such a well-done game engine and editor set combination even if given enough time/money.
And here my question:
Does anyone know of any *complete* or at least sufficiently working mods that add entirely different types of game mechanics to oblivion? Like managing your own farm including hiring and defending workers. Or like implementing an actual open or invisible war between some factions? Or (for something crazy) a simple chess game within the engine? Or just something that changes the perspective a bit?
And here an additional question:
Any such mods for other comparable games? I.e. a true castle managment mod for NWN2 (instead of the crippled one) or sth. like a really dynamic campaign for Operation Flashpoint?
