📋 About This Mod
So, I got Morrowind earlier this year, and just sort of screwed around, never actually trying to finish the main quest. Well, now that I got around to it, I decided to kill Vivec and trap his soul with Azura's Star inside my house, and I didn't have the patience to wait until I was done with the main quest. I was in luck, because that dwarven guy could help me out when I'd need the gauntlet to progress. Everything went fine for a while; then, when I put the thing on, I found my ~380 health had been reduced to ~150.
Dumbfounded, I looked it up on the wiki, and yep. There's a mistake in the script that makes it lower your max health, instead of only damaging it. Well, no more! I've taken the liberty to fix the error (by which I mean adding a single word into the script), and have also gone ahead and changed the model back to the unique version, since it looks a lot cooler. In my opinion, at least. Due to a bug where the left hand would disappear, the left-handed version has now been switched back to the original Daedric model. I wish I could've figured out a fix for this, but my understanding of the editor is very limited. Right-handed version hasn't been changed.
Included are both right and left handed versions of the gauntlet, just in case you didn't like that it switched arms too. It's a simple tweak, so, there shouldn't be any more bugs. Installation is the same thing as with every other .esp file.
A small bug fix mod for Morrowind that repairs the script on the jury-rigged Wraithguard, making it function as originally intended. With 21 endorsements and 498 downloads, it's a niche utility for players who want the artifact to work correctly.
