📋 About This Mod
Update: Heard a couple complaints about the discoloration of the arms and legs so I\'m uploading a version with matching colors (it\'s the alt version). If you prefer to not have glowmapping just don\'t install or delete the file called dagon_g from your creatures/mehrunesdagon folder Name: Mehrunes Dagon Retex by themythofstrider Version: 1. 1 Date: 1/14/2010 Category: Models and Textures Author(s): themythofstrider / themythofanst Source: Details ======= When I finally finished the main quest in oblivion I was more than disappointed in the appearance of the mehrunes dagon (he resembled a pink popsicle). Tried to make him look like the imposing prince of destruction. This file along with my akatosh retexture will make the final battle much more perty. Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files to (install folder)\\Oblivion\\Data\\ Uninstall ========= 1.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 523 endorsements and nearly 80k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig it.
- Gives Dagon a much-needed visual upgrade that fits his role as the Prince of Destruction.
- Zero hassle install—just drop the texture files in and you're good to go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010—might have compatibility issues with newer Oblivion versions or mods that alter Dagon's mesh.
- Only affects the texture, so if you're looking for a full model overhaul, this isn't it.
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're taking a leap of faith on the look.
For Oblivion players who want a quick visual upgrade to one of the game's most iconic daedric princes without messing with complex mods. Skip if you're expecting a full remodel or if you're on a mod setup that heavily alters Dagon's appearance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up the original Dagon texture files before overwriting, just in case you want to revert.
- If you're using a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, you can install this as a package for easy uninstallation.
- Check if you have any other mods that change Dagon's appearance—this retex might conflict with them.
