I noticed recently that Oblivion is available via Steam. Will I be able to install mods if I download and install the game via Steam?
If anyone knows, I'd also like to know whether I will be able to install mods if I buy Skyrim on Steam, but I realize the game might be too new for people to know that yet.

I was actually wondering if you were going to try to make the titles non-dispellable by normal means. It might seem odd, but I'd prefer that either all or none of my characters have them (I'm a bit of a perfectionist), and now that I think about it, I don't mind them.

Speaking of the titles, I was looking through my characters just now and noticed that some of the titles reverted back to their default values. I've successfully cleared the first two levels of the Watcher's Keep, and I think I've put my characters through pretty much anything that would dispel an effect, if it's an effect that changes the titles. I suspect that it might be death and resurrection that resets the titles, but it might be something worth looking into. A few of my characters still have the titles, notably my PC. I'll update you if I figure out something more about this.

lol, I guess you replied before my edit. Rolf can't be killed by bringing his HP to zero by normal means. I killed him without too much trouble by casting Power Word: Kill (kills anything with under 60 remaining HP, no save) on him after wearing down his HP. The walkthrough I was using did mention that spell. However, I can see him being unkillable for a party that doesn't have a mage with that spell, so this maybe should be changed (or a scroll of Power Word: Kill added to the loot somewhere in the mod).
At this point, I've finished the militia chain, and I'm mayor of Soubar. I don't think there's anything else left in Soubar, so I'm off to the Watcher's Keep.
One request I'd like to make for future versions is to remove the 'Mayor of Soubar' and 'Council Member of Soubar' titles from my characters once I kill Sureblade and restore the standard titles based on the character's class, or at least give the option of doing so.

Ok, it turns out I just had to talk to the Major again, and then I was able to go to Sureblade's stronghold. As of my last save, I'm in Sureblade's castle killing his minions and looting the place.
As far as Sureblade being unkillable, I haven't killed him yet, but according to the walkthrough, he has an undroppable item that prevents his HP from going below 1, so alternate means are required to kill him (the walkthrough recommended Power Word: Kill or the Silver Sword). I suppose I'll find that out soon enough.
Thanks for the help!
update: Power Word: Kill does indeed work to kill Sureblade. I have finished the militia quest chain.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. The travel wheel doesn't appear near the top of the path (or, it seems, anywhere on the top edge of that map). I tried the part of the map in your screenshot with no success. The walkthrough I'm using (which was not written by anyone affiliated with the mod) said that it's impossible to go from the main jail to the lower jail by normal means so I didn't even bother to try.
Note: I'm playing SOS V1.13(unless the readme wasn't updated)

I've made it through most of the militia quests, and I'm currently stuck on the one where I actually go out and attack Sureblade's castle. The 'hotspot' to allow me to travel toward the castle seems to not exist! I looked earlier during the chain and didn't see it there then, either. I reloaded my save a couple times, and nothing has changed. (Although I'd have to say that seeing some of my romance dialogues multiple times while going through this is rather odd.) At this point, the best option seems to be a MoveToArea command, except that once again I don't know what area to go to. If that fails, I do have a few old saves to fall back on.
If it comes to reverting to a save before I joined the guards, I'll probably just give up on this part of the mod until a future playthrough as I've done the lower rank militia quests several times already. Also, my most recent save before ever entering Soubar is back in Spellhold (I'm currently in chapter 6).
FYI I do have numerous mods installed, notably Amber NPC(the previously mentioned romance) and Unfinished Business. I don't even know what all mods I have installed since I used Big World to install them and didn't look through them with a fine tooth comb.

I went back to an old save (I saved the game before stashing my equipment in the house next door to the barracks, and that made a convenient reload point) and retried the quest. This time it worked properly.
I had another issue later on that also forced me to reload. When I went to the training ground to train the Triel Villagers, I did one round of weapon training and then the lead guard told me he was turning in for the night and to meet him at a tavern in town. After searching the taverns (Narwhal and Night), I found no trace of any guards. I worked around this the second time by resting until it was a better time of day, as the problem happened at hour 20.
After that, things have gone fairly well. I just got promoted to captain and now I need to go to Trademeet and Athkatla to deliver the messages.

OK, I'll try that. I'll post again and let you know how things turn out.

I changed the CbOpenJail variable to 1 via the CLUAConsole ['CLUAConsole:SetGlobal("CbOpenJail",GLOBAL,1)'] and teleported to the jail, but the Triel villagers just give me the infamous 'Triel Villager has nothing to say to you'. Also, if I talk to the Major, he just says 'Your Report Sergeant?', with the only reply option being 'Nothing to Report yet, Major, Sir'. Did I by any chance miss something?
I looked at the walkthrough I downloaded from Sorcerer's Place again and apparently I was supposed to go talk to the Mayor, but I was never given that quest. I tried talking to the mayor and he just says that the Major has better things for me to do and to talk to him (Major) if I don't remember my orders.
Also, I think one of the villagers was killed in the bar fight in the previous quest (the one where I handcuffed them all). Would that be giving me issues here?
In short, it's starting to feel like I've hit a point at which I can't make any progress.

I just finished the quest where I have to arrest the Triel villagers, and now I have to convince them to join the militia. However, I can't seem to find the jail. I can see a stairway in the room, but it doesn't have the clickable 'hotspot' necessary to use it.
In case the jail is indeed inaccessible due to a glitch, I would also like the area number of the room or a way to bypass that particular quest(I have no problem with using the CLUAConsole/ShadowKeeper to get myself through this).
