📋 About This Mod

PATCH RELEASED!! Fixes voices not playing which makes the dialogue go too fast. Click the link in the \"Required Files\" to the right or go here and get LOSB_Patch_v1. 0a.exe http://unix.eng.ua.edu/~rhino/sirbalin/ NOTE If you are one of the first ten to download this file (as is the number of downloads when this is edited) you have a special version I made for someone that makes the armor purple instead of red. If you like it, you can keep it, but to get the originally planned look you must re-download. SORRY!!! ********************* For screenshots visit http://bama.ua.edu/~chick003 ____________________________________________________ Name: The Life of Sir Balin Version: 1. 0 Date: 2/6/2007 Category: Quests and Adventures Requirements: Oblivion Patch 1. 1. 511, BOrderless Cyrodiil Author(s): Bradley \'Edoc\'sil\' Chick Source: http://www.tessource.net Forum: http://septimspride. 19.forumer.com/index.php Homepage: http://bama.ua.edu/~chick003/ * - This mod is not required if you just change a property in your Oblivion.ini file. Details on how do do so are in the Install section. Description =========== Sir Balin is dead yet still he lives. Find his journal and begin the journey to discover the life of Sir Balin. You must follow the clues left in his journals to find all the pieces to his armor. Only in the end will you be deemed worthy of Knighthood yourself. Location ======== To start the quest, go to the river bank that stretches towards Lake Poppod. There you will find the burned out remains of Sir Balin\'s home. The first journal awaits. Details ======= This mod has a slight tie-in to my Oblivion Web-Comic that I created and update pretty regularly. So, in order to not be totally left out, go here: http://unix.eng.ua.edu/~rhino/ and get yourself up to speed. __ This mod has one dungeon just outside the borders of the normal game. Therefore, you must set the borders to 0 in your Oblivion.ini file (detailed instructions in installation section). This will not hurt your game or anything so don\'t worry :) __ This is an adventure quest that will test your fighting abilities as well as mental. It is a quest of honor and should not be attempted by one with Infamy though, the means exist within the mod to take the Infamy away. You must find all 5 pieces of Sir Balin\'s armor, his sword, and shield. The mod also adds some other unique armor and weapons. This mod is mostly surrounding the story of Sir Balin\'s life, so reading will be necesary. Also, there are no quest logs or green/red triangles. You must do everything on your own. If you get stuck, go to the forums or email me at bchick222@gmail.com __ The armor in the mod is close to the daedric stats in weight and protection. I feel the challenge to get it makes the power of the armor worth it. The weapons of Sir Balin do damage close to Umbra, where the weapons of The Marked match daedric. __ Also, there are some... easter eggs of sorts.
