📋 About This Mod

IF you already have Version 1. 2, RE-DOWNLOAD IT I made a mistake in the initial V1. 2 (released 19/04/06) which basically made the Steel Katana the most powerful weapon in the entire game...oops The katana\'s can be purchased from A Fighting Chance in the Imperial City Market Place ________________________________________________ Well my favourite weapon whilst playing Morrowind was by far the Katana...and so I found the choice of katana to be sadly lacking (almost non-existent). I made this mod for myself, however I\'ve seen some people requesting this specifically so I thought I\'d share. Adds: ====Weapons==== Iron Katana Steel Katana Silver Katana Dwarven Katana Elven Katana Glass Katana Ebony Katana Daedric Katana ===New to version 1. 1=== Iron Dai-Katana Steel Dai-Katana Silver Dai-Katana Dwarven Dai-Katana Elven Dai-Katana Glass Dai-Katana Ebony Dai-Katana Daedric Dai-Katana All weapons have had values set to what I feel is appropriate, sticking to a similiar formula as Bethesda. (+2 damage, +50 health, + 4 weight) However, I felt that a Katana should weight less than a longsword, and so set the starting weight at 17 (instead of 20, like the longsword). Given that the blade is lighter, I set the swing speed at 1. 2 instead of 1. 0 like the longsword. The monetary value was simply made up by myself.. I wanted to make the katana\'s more valuable than longswords but not overly so.

Severians Katanas adds purchasable katanas to Oblivion, with a fix for an overpowered Steel Katana in version 1.2. A compact weapon mod with 444 endorsements and 25,229 downloads, last updated in 2008.

✨ Key Features

Adds katanas that can be purchased from a vendor (location not specified).
Fixes an issue where the Steel Katana was the most powerful weapon in the game.
Requires re-download if you have version 1.2 due to a balance fix.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 444 endorsements and over 25k downloads – clearly a popular pick.
  • The balance fix shows the author cares about not breaking the game – no god-tier steel katana ruining your playthrough.
  • Simple concept: buy katanas, look cool, slice things. No complex quests or lore dumps.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2008 – this is ancient by modding standards, so expect potential conflicts with newer mods or patches.
  • Only adds purchasable katanas – if you wanted unique enchantments or crafting, this isn't it.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Oblivion players who want a straightforward way to wield katanas without scouring the world for them. If you're a weeb or just love Japanese blades, this is a quick grab. Skip if you want lore-friendly or gameplay-altering weapon mods – this is purely cosmetic and convenience.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2008, make sure to place it in your load order after any overhaul mods that change vendor lists.
  • If you're using Oblivion Mod Manager or Wrye Bash, just drag and drop – no complex scripts here.
  • Check the in-game vendor after installing – if the katanas don't appear, you might need to wait 24 hours for the merchant's inventory to reset.
