*** # Main Features: *** ### 🌟 **A New Chapter** - Echoes of Oblivion is a fresh, evolving project built on my experience with three other popular modlists. While still a work in progress, it’s designed to deliver a rich, immersive role-playing experience. - I already worked on several Oblivion Remastered mods that are included in this collection. These serve as a foundation for even more custom content tailored specifically to the vision of Echoes of Oblivion. ## **🎮 Gameplay** - The modlist features [Ascension Remastered](https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/706) which improves several aspects of the games balancing. Certain features and balancing was custom changed to better fit the collection. - Deadlier combat that adds excitement and a faster pace - Fixed damage sliders so all difficulty settings are properly playable (Adept is recommended though) - Lowered level speed to ensure a better difficulty curve throughout the game *** - Creatures only drop realistic items, you won't see a mudcrab dropping silver ware - Unleveled unique items so they now always drop appropriate variants instead of being based on player level - Players are able to encounter lower level enemies and items when being high-level and enemies no longer scale infinitely with the player - And lots of other small changes here and there... (check out the [changelogs](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/oblivionremastered/collections/on009j/changelog) for more information) ## 🛠️ New Features and Improvements - Achievements are always enabled regardless of mods/console commands - Improved the behaviour of the map menu (e.g. you can close them with \[M] and local map opens automatically in interiors) - Important items (such as alchemy tools, Repair Hammer, Torches) are sorted at the top of the inventory - Improved textures for faces, skins, underwear and more - NPCs all over the world are now more lively and follow much more varied daily routines - Optional mods to customize your experience (check out the Optional Mods section below) ## 🖥️ UI Improvements - Faster Main Menu startup (skipping BGS and Virtuos screens) - Improved the HUD to be smaller and less cluttered - Improved most menus to be more compact - Removed many new features such as Hit Markers and Item Outlines (check out optional mod section if you want to re-enable them) - And much more... such as improved crosshair, improved compass, improved button prompts. *** # Information: *** ### Check out my other Collections: ### [Path of the Prophet](https://next.nexusmods.com/enderalspecialedition/collections/xrfd91) (Enderal SE) ### [Constellations - A True RPG](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/9zfscf) (Skyrim SE) ### [Odyssey - A True RPG](https://www.nexusmods.com/games/starfield/collections/49slmk) (Starfield) *** - If you need help with anything related to this collection or my mods please [join my Discord](https://discord.gg/wsnhHJKSA7). - This collection is save game compatible, but a new game is recommended because some smaller changes will not work otherwise. - Adding additional mods to the collection is highly discouraged and not supported. **If you like my work, I would be very grateful for any support!
