This change encourages players to focus on magical skills and attributes if they wish to be much more effective in situations where a lot of Magicka will be needed. Magicka's rate of regeneration is slower than default but characters focusing in Willpower will gain Magicka faster than before. That is something you will have to earn, and not be given right off the bat as it happened previously. This change balances the difference and makes it more risky to engage in heavy combat right away. The player started with a large Health‐pool advantage over enemies in default Oblivion. No changes are made to maximum Health gained per level. Player characters have lower starting Health than default. These changes help making Marksmanship a more tactical and involved combat skill. The power of bows is higher, but their reload time slower. It was previously too easy to use bows and backwards‐running to avoid damage while peppering the enemies with arrows. This change encourages the use of the slower but stronger special attacks in melee.įatigue costs for ranged attacks are a bit higher, however. The range of weapons' reach is a bit shorter than in default Oblivion – close quarters combat is the norm for melee players.

This is a balance tweak because of the higher weight of some weapons, and helps you to keep up with the now deadlier combat gameplay. Special attacks are less tiresome to use than in default Oblivion. The following sub‐sections list the Player Character areas changed by OOO.ĭerived Attributes Fatigue For example, the game setting fPCMagickaReturnBase governs how fast the PC regenerates Magicka. These game settings are hard‐coded variables that specify a range of possible actions and their results. OOO changes how vital statistics, skills, and combat abilities work mainly through the tweaking of 'game settings'. OOO is compatible with these kinds of mods. It is not a so‐called 'leveling mod' which handle the mechanics behind your character's level‐up progression. Note: OOO is not a mod that focuses on changing the mechanics of how PCs increase their defining characteristics.

Magic Abilities (how Vital Statistics, Skills, Combat Abilities and Factions interrelate with the PCs' selves, NPCs/creatures and items through Magic).

Factions (how the PCs interrelate with NPCs and creatures).

Combat Abilities (how Skills interrelate with actors and items in action‐oriented challenges).

Skills (how PCs use their Vital Statistics to affect the world and themselves).

Vital Statistics (simulation of physical or mental characteristics).

The PC changes can be grouped and summed up as the following: In Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, player character (PC) changes affect the defining characteristics of your characters.
