[Mod-Request] Diverse Races v2.0 DV

Diverse Races: Oblivion
"None of us were created equal"
Author: Damar Stiehl (olgerthheidern@hotmail.com)
Version: 2.0
Included files: Diverse Races.esp
INTRODUCTION:
It has long been the Elder Scrolls way that every race could reach the score of 100 in every attribute. While this is nice, it rather made choosing the race boring and mostly cosmetic. Worse yet, it destroyed any potential a race is said to have according to the lore; a fully developed Orc would be no stronger than a fully developed Altmer, and a fully developed Imperial would be no more charming or intelligent than an equal Khajiit.
This mod changes things a bit. Now, depending on your race, you'll be able to take at least two of your attributes above 100. Of course, nothing comes without a price - some of your attributes will be capped below 100. Read on for more details...
INSTALLATION:
I highly recommend that you activate this mod AFTER your character has left the Imperial Prison sewers and you have made a decision to play a particular race. If you ever want to restart from the sewer exit and play a different race, deactivate the mod, change the race and exit the sewers, save, and then re-activate the mod.
To install the mod:
1. Place Diverse Races.esp into your Data folder and activate it.
2. Load Oblivion and your saved game.
- After about 5-10 seconds, you will receive a message about your character realizing his full potential, and appropriate effects will be applied to him.
3. Save your game into a new slot and continue playing as normal.
UPGRADING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
1. Replace old Diverse Races.esp with the new Diverse Races.esp.
2. Load your game.
- After about 5 seconds, your character will auto-cast a special spell necessary to get rid of the old effects.
- If you are a Nord, Orc or Redguard, you will see a new effect being applied to you (Health and Fatigue bonus).
3. Continue playing normally.
UNINSTALLATION:
Deactivate and delete Diverse Races.esp.
- The racial upgrade is a one-way street. Once your character has been upgraded, it CANNOT be de-upgraded, other than with another script. And I will NOT write you such a script, beg as you might.
NOTES:
- This mod should be compatible with just about anything. It doesn't alter any existing entries. All changes are applied through scripts.
- Custom races are still not supported.

NEW IN THIS VERSION (2.0):
- Implemented a new system for applying racial bonuses that does not rely on constantly running scripts. This may improve the game's performance. Additionally, you will no longer temporarily lose your racial bonuses when Cure Disease is cast on you.
- Fixed miscellaneous bugs and inconsistensies.
- Gave the Khajiit race a slightly higher Int score (95) in exchange for a slightly lower Agility score (125).
- Added an innate Fatigue bonus to Nords, Redguards and Orcs to reflect their physical power.

Questions and Answers:
Q: What is the spell that my character auto-casts during the upgrade process?
A: If you must know, it's a Cure Disease spell. You WILL NOT learn it and you will NOT be allowed to use it. It's a part of upgrade mechanics.
Q: Why did Race X get bonus X and penalty X?
A: I decided based on lore and suggestions in my concept thread. Did you want to make a suggestion? You should've participated.
Q: Why didn't you touch Luck?
A: Because everyone makes their own destiny. I don't believe that any race on the face of Nirn (or at least in Tamriel) is cursed or favoured by gods, such as they are.
Q: What happens if I cast Cure Disease?
A: You'll get your bonuses back in 1-2 seconds.
Q: I levelled up, and the attribute values on the level-up screen look different from the attribute values on my stat sheet.
A: When you level up, you see your "base" attribute values. Add or subtract your bonus values from them to get the "real" values, if you want to. To max out any attribute, with or without a bonus, you still have to raise its base value to 100.
Q: My stat sheet looks like a Christmas tree with all the drains and fortifies!
A: Oh well, it's just cosmetic.
Q: Why didn't you change races' abilities and powers?
A: Because it would make the mod incompatible with other race mods.
Q: Raising certain attributes over 100 makes no sense, because that gives you no bonus. Why should I use this mod?
A: Use "Skills over 100" mod by TalkieToaster (http://www.tessource.net/files/cache/3664.html) to receive bonuses for pretty much every attribute that goes over 100.
Q: Can you change Race X to get bonus X and penalty X?
A: Probably not, I like them the way they are. But if you make a compelling case, I may.
Q: I found a bug. What do I do?
A: Post in the discussion thread on TES Official Forums. If you don't have an account there and don't want to register, email me.
Q: The races are all underpowered/overpowered! Your mod sucks! Change it NOW!!!
A: Get bent. This is my mod and in the end, I call the shots.
III. FINAL NOTES FOR THIS VERSION:
- Custom races will be supported when certain mods are published. Until these mods are published, don't bother me with requests to support custom races. There's simply no way to implement it right now.
