Personally, I always I preferred The Elder Scrolls series great outdoors to its dungeons, portals, and planes of Oblivion, but if you were looking to take on some of Tamriel's biggest baddies (giants and mammoths aside) the chances were that those were exactly the kinds of places you'd be heading.
Which is why Carved Brink, a new mod from the team behind last year's massive Project AHO, could be exactly your cup of tea. The mod introduces two brand-new areas to the fantasy RPG - the deadric plane of Peyrite, and the Faceted Stones, a previously unknown part of Oblivion.
The Faceted Stones were previously inhabited by the Snow Elves/Falmer (who were a pretty major part of why I hated all those dungeons), but the floating stone islands are now mostly inhabited by a race of goblins. As well as the new areas, the mod comes with plenty of fully voice-acted characters, as well as new items, a custom soundtrack, and a unique teleportation spell to help you maneuver between stones.
