📋 About This Mod
Please note, while I appreciate people contacting me about bugs, maintaining this mod is no longer my primary concern. I've got a lot to focus on at the moment and that's before I start work on my Skyrim project ;)
The cleaned up final version. Was originally meant to be the first part of a project of mine, but since that didn't happen I've released it as the final version of this mod.
Allows players who have partially completed the MQ to load the mod and have access to the armour. Also means that players who do not immediately join the Blades can still reach the highest rank.
This Oblivion Mod allows the player to ascend through the ranks of the Blades. The player starts of as Knight Brother, and has the oppourtunity to go all the way up to Grandmaster. Included in this mod there are also new armours, that become available as you rise through the ranks and a special weapon that is unlocked if you do all available Blades Missions (no new missions are encompassed in this package).
BladesMod lets Oblivion players climb the ranks of the Blades faction, offering a new progression path. With 520 endorsements and nearly 19,000 downloads, it's a niche but well-received addition for fans of the Blades. Last updated in 2013, it may require compatibility checks.
