Oblivion fans, here’s something cool for you. Modder Pandreya has released a new quest mod called Sinister Relics. This mod is all about stealth and cursed items. Players will sneak around and secretly place cursed items on NPCs without them knowing. And, since it adds new and free content to the game, it’s definitely worth checking out.
In Sinister Relics, players will join a secret imperial faction. They will ascend through cryptic ranks and wield relics of chaos across multiple quests with evolving journals and custom enchanted gear.
Here’s a closer look at what the mod offers. In Sinister Relics, you’ll be able to sneak cursed items onto NPCs and watch strange things happen. You’ll join a secret Imperial group and rise through seven custom ranks. As you level up, you’ll earn a full set of Ciphersteel armor that gets better over time. The quests in this mod have multiple parts and include stealth, puzzles, and tough choices. You’ll also fight enemies that use unique tricks, like silence magic or chaos powers.
And that’s not all. In this mod, you’ll meet interesting characters like Serina Varro and Aranos Liric, who have lots of cool dialogue. You’ll also get a living journal that grows as you learn more about the cursed relics and what they do. There are special quests and relics with custom stories, and you can find unique items like the Voltagrim staff. Best of all, everything fits perfectly with the Oblivion Remastered world and lore.

Modder Autistic Harmonica has released a fully-voiced fan expansion for Fallout: New Vegas called The Unforgiven. This mod adds a lot of new free content to the game. So, if you are still playing Fallout: New Vegas, you should definitely try it out.
The Unforgiven adds lots of cool new stuff to Fallout: New Vegas. You’ll get 12 new quests, a brand-new town, and over 20 new characters. There are also new weapons, armor, opening and ending cutscenes, and three different endings depending on your choices. The story has a western theme, but it still lets you roleplay in many different ways. You’ll go on a big adventure filled with outlaws, bounty hunters, tribes, bears, justice, hate, revenge, and redemption.
To get started, go to the new notice board right outside the NCR Embassy gate. Click on the wanted poster to begin the first quest. At the end of that quest, you’ll have to choose: either kill a certain NPC or leave the area. If you want to see most of the new content, it’s best to leave the area. To keep playing the mod, go back to the same notice board. Depending on what you chose earlier, you might see special new events after you finish the main story.

Modder arminZX12 has released a new fully voiced quest mod for Skyrim Special Edition, called Call Of The Deep. So, let’s take a closer look at it.
Call Of The Deep is said to be a complete experience. The mod comes with a full quest, dialogue scenes, new weapons and spells, unique enemies and bosses, and even a beautiful house built on the ocean floor. In other words, this is what you’d expect from a fan expansion or a DLC-sized mod.
This mod has a story-based quest with full voice lines and choices that change the outcome. There are two different endings, depending on what you decide. It also gives you a cool underwater home to live in, with new decorations and fun rooms to explore. Plus, you get a custom follower to join you on your adventure.
The quest begins when you enter any city. A courier will give you a letter from Calcelmo. In the letter, he asks you to look into the strange disappearance of a colleague who went searching for R’lyend, a lost underwater Dwemer city. As you investigate, you’ll explore ancient ruins deep under the Sea of Ghosts. These ruins hide old secrets. You’ll solve tricky puzzles, avoid deadly traps, and face scary sea monsters hiding in the dark water.
