First off I would like to say that I have been playing Oblivion since it first came out (off and on of course) and absolutely LOVE the ideas behind OOO. Many of them are amazing, and make the game MUCH more interesting than Bethesda had originally designed (more weapons/armo, better treasure, more diverse creatures, more abilities, etc). However, as with any mod, there are a few things I disagree with.
First and foremost, the difficulty of having a new character. I'm the type of person who will constantly make new characters to tweak certain aspects of my class in an attempt to find one that is suitable for me. Your mod makes this alot harder, because no matter what abilities I choose, I still constantly find myself being overwhelmed by simple bandits and wildlife. I would love to have the ability to tone down the difficulty, if only for the first few levels, so I may progress through the game to a point where I feel comfortable with the level of difficulty you had intended in your mod. I, like any other, find dying constantly to be rather annoying, and get frustrated when it happens with lowly enemies that are found most often in the game anyway.
Second, I would love some kind of list of areas which are extremely high level, so I do not venture into these areas and end up dying left and right. It could be argued that this would make the game a bit less realistic, and my rebuttal to that would be that were this to be a real situation, the person in question would certainly hear about areas that are overly dangerous, and would be warned to stay away from these areas until he or she feels they could handle it.
I have a few more small issues with the mod, however those that I have stated above are, in my opinion, take more precedence over anything else. Overall, OOO is a very well designed mod, and I would not play Oblivion without it, even with the aforementioned annoyances. Keep modding, and someday, move to make your own full game, as I for one would gladly check it out.
