📋 About This Mod
I'm a sucker for item descriptions in RPGs. This mod, an addon for AlexFalconson's Expanded Info, adds short and detailed descriptions to all of Daggerfall's items and most of the modded items from other projects as well.
The lore-friendly descriptions were mostly adapted from pen and paper reference books such as Old World Armory for Warhammer Fantasy, Arms and Equipment Guide for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Ed or the class handbooks also for AD&D 2nd ed. Some I've written myself and I also used ChatGPT to help write up descriptions for other objects.
Enjoy the reading! If you see any typo, please let me know.
