📋 About This Mod

Buffs weapon damage values to rectify 2 main issues:1. They're outclassed by unarmed creature damage and magic, especially at higher levels2. Slower weapons don't scale up proportionally to faster weaponsAll weapon damage buffed by ~40%

Installation Instructions:

- Download the .zip file

- Extract it inside "steamapps > common > Oblivion Remastered > Oblivion Remastered > Content > Dev > ObvData > Data"

(You'll know you're in the right place if you see AltarESPMain.esp and "Plugins.txt")

- Open "Plugins.txt" and input "ProportionalWeaponDamageScaling.esp" at the bottom of the list, or at least below any "DLC" and "Altar" .esp files.

(Remember to Save the .txt file!)

Use EITHER the base file or the "SW" file, depending on your preference.

It is recommended to also install PWDS_Skill XP.esp in the same manner as detailed above.

Compatability Patches:

If you are playing with Ascension Remastered, or Balanced Unleveled Rewards, then do the following:

- Download the corresponding extra files: PWDS_Ascension.esp and/or PWDS_Balanced Unleveled Rewards.esp

- Load those files after ProportionalWeaponDamageScaling.esp and the other mod.

Again, use EITHER the base files or the "SW" ones.

This mod doesn't conflict with Balanced NPC Level Cap.

I've individually edited the stats of all weapons (besides Staves) with the goal of achieving better balance considering various factors including:

- Damage ranges of creatures, Destruction magic, and weapons at various levels/skill ratings. There's a sometimes comical gap between the damage of animals/monsters vs humanoid enemies, and it can feel like you're using pool-noodles in a sword duel. IMO, melee power attacks should not be severely outclassed by Destruction touch spells.

- Relative damage between weapons classes. For example, an Iron Warhammer is 2. 4x stronger than an Iron Dagger, but a Daedric Warhammer isn't even 1. 5x stronger than a Daedric Dagger.

- Attack speed. The Remaster has cut normal attack speeds nearly in half. While I like this change in regard to realism, gamefeel, and balance between normal/power attacks, it does exacerbate the weak weapons issue. In particular, the Claymore now se
