📋 About This Mod
There is a major bug in the Mage's Guild that allows you to make it so that it is impossible to become Arch-Mage. Trebonius will challenge you when you are a Wizard, but this is supposed to not happen until Master Wizard. This script fixes that. This script also makes a comment in the code actually be correc. The comment says that a particular dialogue should never be reached, the one where Trebonius says, "Now we are both Arch-Mage". This dialogue can not be reach if you complete the Arch-Mage quest with this plug-in installed, but it is not retro-active.
This mod fixes a major bug in the Mage's Guild that prevents players from becoming Arch-Mage. It corrects the script so Trebonius only challenges you at Master Wizard rank, not earlier. A small, focused fix for Oblivion players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a game-breaking bug that could ruin your Mage's Guild playthrough.
- Tiny script fix that's easy to install and won't bloat your load order.
- Still relevant for Oblivion players today, even with 58 endorsements.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may have compatibility issues with newer mods or patches.
- Only addresses this specific bug; no other Mage's Guild improvements included.
For Oblivion players who want to complete the Mage's Guild questline without hitting the Arch-Mage bug. If you're a completionist or role-player aiming for Arch-Mage, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't care about the Mage's Guild or already use a comprehensive quest fix mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the file in your Oblivion Data folder and activate it in the launcher or mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep things organized.
- Load order shouldn't matter much for a script fix, but put it after any mods that alter Mage's Guild quests.
