Merchant and Loot Overhaul

Author: npm78

Requirements: Latest version of OBSE Cyrodiil Upgrade Resource Pack (available in download area with permission from author)

This is my attempt to change the whole "I have 100 million septims in the beginning of the game but no good armor to purchase until I level up so I will hoard my cash" to "I have no money at the beginning of the game and I really want that shiny new ebony sword that I can't afford from that merchant". In other words, I have unleveled everything but made finding valuable loot very difficult, which means you will most likely buy armor and weapons instead of just looting dead bad guys.

Oh, and you can finally poke someone's eye out with a fork! Or hit someone with a ladder Or a cup or a paint brush! Yes, that useless clutter can now be a weapon or shield!

Pickpockets!! Every city now has pickpockets that will steal a percentage of your gold if your not careful or not a member of the thieve's guild. You can always attempt to steal the gold back or find a dark alley and get your revenge.

Ever felt that Ayleid ruin wasn't very Ayleidy? Or that vampire lair was pretty bland? Or wondered why human blood viles couldn't satisfy your vampiric thirst? Well this mod changes that by adding faction specific loot to each faction. Vampire lairs have new ingredients and human blood vials that are scripted to give the effect of human feeding for vampires and new vampire disease potions which will infect you with Porphyric Hemophilia. Necromancer lairs have black soul gems, necromancer staffs, and new ingredients. Oblivion realms have Daedric staffs, and daedric torches. Ayleid ruins have Ayleid staffs, ayleid torches, and ayleid dishes/clutter.

This mod increases the items that vendors have available for sale, and their inventories will now include a chance of receiving enchanted items, new staffs, new torches, lanterns and Ayleid weapons, based upon the original type of items they sold. Mage guild vendors are now able to sell staffs, along with their normal items. Certain smiths will sell lockpicks, similar to the function of a “locksmith” . A new, but rare and expensive potion has been created that cures Vampirism, and is only available at select merchants.
