- --Overview---
- A sequel to my fist mod, The Blades of An\'kewan, the Armory reveals even more of the history of the An\'ar family and their legacy in Tamriel. Though not as puzzle-oriented as its pedecessor, this mod offers a detailed waypoint stuffed full of treasures from Ka Po\'tun. This isn\'t just your average \"substituting-Asian-for-Akaviri\" mod, however, as it contains 12 books of lore (all written by myself), a couple of sparkly things, and a backstory that coincides with that of Oblivion. The waypoint may be used as a player house (though it is rather small and hard to get to), and contains seven non-respawning containers - three chests, a dresser, a cupboard, a barrel, and a desk - all of which can be used for storage (note that all sacks and the covered pot are unsafe, and will respawn). I encourage you to dig deep into this mod, as it contains much that can be found by searching. As a side note, I ask that you not discuss revealing elements of the puzzle in the comments, if only for the greater enjoyment of other players.
- Included in the download is my mod \"Less Frustrating Arrows\", which you may find quite useful. It sets the chance of recovering arrows in enemies to 98%, and lenghtens the time that an arrow will appear on the ground to 10 minutes. It in no way unbalances the game or edits any arrow stats, and should be compatible with all mod-added arrows as well.
- --Installation---
- 1. Extract the .rar file to your Oblivion\\Data folder
- 2. Check the .esp in OBMM or the Data Files menu in the startup screen (or in whatever other mod loader you use).
- 3. If you want my optional Less Frustrating Arrows addon, chech that .esp as well.
- 4. When you load Oblivion, you will be sent a note from Borba gra-Uzgash at Borba\'s Goods and Stores in Cheydinhal. After you read it the rest is pretty self-explanatory.
- --Uninstallation---
- 1. Uncheck the .esp in OBMM or the Data Files menu in the startup screen (or in whatever other mod loader you use).
- 2. Delete the .esp(s) and .bsa from your Oblivion\\Data folder
- --Compatibility---
- The Armory only affects one exterior cell a long way out of the common space of Cyrodiil, so there should be extremely little to no conflict there. However, there is a small change in the Dark Brotherhood Sleeping Quarters, so any mods that change or remove that cell will conflict. The change is only cosmetic, though, and can be overwritten without any damage to the mod (beyond the realism factor).
- The Less Frustrating Arrows addon only changes global controls, and should be 100% compatible with any other mod (as lon
