Sufficient Adamantium (OpenMW)

Sufficient Adamantium (OpenMW) v1. 0

What it does:

=============

The included .omwaddon file is an OpenMW-only patch for Bethesda's Tribunal

expansion.  The mod markedly increases the amount of Raw Adamantium ore

available, so there's enough to actually use.  This mod is primarily for Medium

Armor specialists (or those with companions who are).

Tribunal includes a crafting smith, Bols Indalen, who will make custom

Adamantium armor for you.  However, the expansion is glitched, and made the

ore so rare (there are only 20 rocks containing it, each with a 40% chance

to be empty) – except in the Xbox version – that you'd be lucky to get a single

item made (to get just the two pieces of armor you cannot find as loot in

Tribunal requires all 20 ores, but you have much less than a 1% chance of

getting them all (odds of . 4 x . 4 x . 4 x ...), which required you to cheat, or

to just do without.

This mod provides enough ore to get a full suit, maybe two if you're lucky

(hint: save before entering cells containing the rocks, see the short

short list at http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Tribunal:Adamantium_Ore).

There's still a 40% chance of failure per ingredient, but each container rock

now has 6 instead of 1, so instead of getting 0 or 1 ores per rock, you get 0

to 6 of them, an average of about 3, so around 60 pieces if you just roll the

dice.  You need 45 for a full suit, so use the save/reload trick if you want.

If you're using an Adamantium Shield mod that adds shields to Indalen's

crafting list, you'll need 50–55 ores, depending on the mod.  If you want even

more, use the included "Double" version, which jacks it up to 12 per rock (but

still with the same chance of failure per ore, so it's 0–12). You might want

this if you run a lot of armor mods and will have even better Medium-class

armor by the time you're of sufficient level to have done all of Tribunal; with

the Double version, you can get enough ore for some armor without clearing out

all of the Mournhold Sewers and Old Mournhold yet. It's also good if you want

a companion wearing matching gear.

This mod was inspired by:

a) Frustration at Bethesda's oversight (or cruelty).

b) My fondness for companion mods, and being able to see their faces so I can

tell them apart (the Adamantium helm is the best open-faced one, and can be

used by beast races).

c) The Custom Armors mod by Sendai45, which has Indalen create genuinely custom

armor, better than the stock stuff – making it actually worth the trouble to

find and haul Raw Adamantium (the heaviest ingredient in the game), instead of

killing NPCs for their Adamantium Armor, or just buying it in the official

Adamantium Armor add-on that
