GraZC

Am i the only one who believe's the horse armor pack is the most useless modification available? Sure it'll make your steed look all nice if you want to prance about like a shining knight, but it doesn't do anything but look good (for you!). Oblivion has an amazing landscape and just riding around isn't going to get your stats up either.

I believe the quality and quantity of these purchasable modifications really need to be quite extensive, i do not want to find i'm paying a couple of quid for a measly quest to find the Holy Grail. Just to find it does a measly bit of enhancing that i dont need.

I would expect a huge task that'll take me hours to complete, enter new content and especially new voices! (how i got tiredsom of hearing the same ones). There is plenty of space on the Cyridil map to enter new content, but there we have another problem. Just what new content are we after?

New weapons are always good to find, but not when its just your typical Daedric claymore with fancy enhancements. How about adding in some weapons like throwing daggers (if i'm not mistaken, used by assasins) or have weapons that only existed in morrowind imported into Oblivion (could easily set up a quest to where you can find a traveller going between contenents buying/selling goods), I'm sure there is plenty of unique weapons still to be found but i'd like to have people know rumors about it, or books mentioning it for side quests.

I personally think potions are useless to me, i can hack'n'slash my way through anything or just steal using moonshadow, So how about a new class of potions that do radical new effects, such as transformation into animals such as a bird, imagine being able to fly for 240 seconds around the landscape seeing amazing views etc. (being a pigeon and annoying the NPC's by swooping past and do droppings on them would be funny too).

There is also the case of lack of armor types too. If the developers can create over a hundred types of flowers why not at least chuck in say twenty types of armor all from ancient to new technology such as daedric mixed with mage armor. Wouldn't think that'd be hard.

The last thing that really, really annoys me is naming classes i can imagine this will be sorted out by a freelancer mod maker, If your carrying quite alot of weapons and armor its a hell of a job having to equip the ones you want you typically have to re-read the list to find the item your after, insted i reckon a simple organisation of types for example, Sort items by what they are. Helmets, Curiass, Greeves, Rings, Amulets etc..

At present the Orrery and Wizard's Tower mods do look interesting and i will most likely purchase them, however i am rarther disconcerned as to how much they will provide, why pay $2 for a new room or a good view? (could just play with console and fly about).
