📋 About This Mod
Goblin Realswords + Tribal Shields This mod combines two great mods: Goblin Realswords by Walx - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15708 Goblin Tribal Shields by Frank of Alaska and LHammonds - http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11871 Me and many along with me have waited for the Goblin Realswords to be added to the Goblins in Cyrodiil. So I decided to do something about it. This mod adds the awesome Goblin swords made by Walx to all Goblins across Cyrodiil. Just like the other Realsword Mods added the weapons to the NPCs. It also adds the Goblin Tribal shields made by Frank of Alaska and LHammonds. Combining these to mods prevents the leveled lists to conflict. This means that if you already run Goblin Tribal Shields by Frank you have to disable that esp. This mod should however not conflict with the original Goblin Realswords. So if you want the Goblins to use the Realswords but still want to keep the \"thing\" who sells them (He\'s not included in this mod). Just have both esps active. I have not altered the stats of any of the weapons from Walx original mod, they are all as they were in his original mod. I did however make \"CG\" versions of three of the weapons. These are used bu the Goblins in the Tutorial. This is to prevent the player from getting to powerful weapons to early in the game. I have also added enchanted versions of a few weapons, this to keep the leveled lists somewhat intact. An yes, I know the enchanted weapons have lame ass names. So no need to comment on that. I have boosted the stats of the Tribal Shields, I did this because in the original they were worse than vanilla leather. In this mod they are between Light Iron and Mithril. All appearances are unaltered. It contains two esp\'s. One for those who just want the Realswords for the Goblins, and one fore those that wants both the swords and shields. Version history: 1. 0 - Adds the Goblin Realswords to all Goblins in vanilla Oblivion- - Optionally adds Tribal Shields to Goblin Tribes 1. 1 (WIP) - Adds Goblin Armory\'s and Goblin Smiths to some of the larger Goblin Dungeons. Install: 1. Copy the files to (install folder)\\Oblivion\\ (Don\'t put it in the data folder!) 2. Start the Oblivion Launcher, click \'Data Files\', place a checkmark beside the .esp file that you want. DON\'T CHECK BOTH OF THEM! All meshes and textures should be included, but if they aren\'t just download the original mods and the problem is solved. Conflicts: This mod conflicts with all mods that alter leveled lists. So if you have mods that do that, like OOO, just load this mod after the others. Support and questions: Just write in the comments section, I check in here daily.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only touches goblin equipment, it's safe to install mid-playthrough, but make a save before adding it just in case.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install the optional shield file separately to toggle it on or off easily.
- Check your load order — this mod doesn't require patches, but placing it after other goblin mods ensures it takes effect.
