Valenwood improved is a great mod which adds a new district into the Oblivion game. After a quick installation you will be able to go beyond the borders of Cyrodiil and explore the Valenwood district. 8 new cities, many villages, shrines, sightseeing locations, dungeons will be waiting for you. After playing the mod for several days I am glad to explain the pluses and minuses of Valendwood improved.
First, the pluses:
I. The cities in Valendwood improved have an unique layout and some, even new textures.
II. New armors for you to wear.
III. Many npc's in the cities and beyond.
IV. Enemies for you to fight while exploring the map.
V. Several quests for you to do.
VI. Valenwood connects perfectly with Cyrodiil through a border.
VII. A lot of forests for you to hunt in or camp in.
Now for the minuses:
I. Sadly, this mod has never been completed, so there are several things lacking:
1.no npc's in the cities in the south of the map
2.several city/village homes aren't furnished
3.the mod itself lacks a lot of details, so after exploring Valenwood you might soon lack interest.
II. translation is good, but not perfect- you might find german titles and words.
III. The mod is abandoned, so it won't be fixed in the future.
Now, you might ask yourself why I would promote Valenwood improved, when clearly it's isn't fully completed. Well, the truth of the matter is that Valenwood still offers a lot of beautiful scenery and a small world to explore in. The lacking details can be annoying, but let's look it at it this way: would you rather explore something new, but unfinished or have an inaccessible part of the map?
Looking at all those factors above I would gladly give Valenwood Improved a 8/10. I am glad I can travel to that place whenever I want rather then having an inaccessible part of the game.
