Limited scaling like in OOO and Frans mods are very good but the original level scaling isn't very good.

I don't think no respawning is very realistic but 3 days isn't either but a week or 2 would be good which you can set in Oblivion if you want.

I like first person views in any game but not as an option because they always suck in usage. An example is first person in Gothic 3 is really bad and I don't use it even though I want to.
