SB Weapon Drop Fix

SB Weapon Drop fix

Requires: xOBSE v22. 3. 1 or higher | LINK (Optional)

(xOBSE - Github Page)

Features:

• []The Game Setting iDeathDropWeaponChance is set to 0, so enemies no longer drop weapons on death (they remain in inventory).

  []An ini config file is included to easily disable this fix if neccessary.

  []LINK/LINK++ support is also included so the fix can be toggled on and off in game at any time.

  []Special handling of the Shivering Isles DLC quest "Symbols of Office:"

  []In the Shivering Isles DLC quest "Symbols of Office" the player fights a shadow-clone of themselves.

  []This clone is carrying the weapon Shadowrend, and is expected to drop the weapon on death.

  []However; this shadow-clone can not be looted, so when iDeathDropWeaponChance = 0, the weapon becomes un-obtainable.

  []SB Weapon Drop Fix includes a workaround to re-enable and then once more disable iDeathDropWeaponChance before and after the fight, respectively.

  []This ensures the shadow-clone will drop Shadowrend.

  • []Extract the contents of "SB Weapon Drop Fix. 7z" to the Oblivion/Data/ directory.

  • Done.

    I am not aware of any other NPC's negatively effected by this setting, but please let me know in the comments if any are found.
