📋 About This Mod
Tweaks for the Vile Lair official DLC:
-
[]Rowley Eardwulf now sells more shady related goods, including lockpicks, leveled poisons, poisoned apples, skooma, human body parts, slightly more unenchanted weapons and a couple of rare books. He can now buy and sell both ingredients and potions.[/]
[]Rowley Eardwulf can now offer bartering and training services even while he is sitting down at a table and eating inside of the Wawnet Inn.[/]
[]The Dark Minion now has Shrouded Armor instead of leather armor. He still has his clothes to sleep in.[/]
[]The Dark Minion's victim loot chest now gives a more varied supply of leveled list items after each murder he succeeds in completing, and the murder gold reward has been slightly increased.[/]
[]The Shrine of Sithis now gives its blessing based on your character's level, rather than on your infamy. Level 1 to 9 = weakest blessing, level 10 to 19 = second weakest blessing, level 20 to 29 = second strongest blessing, and level 30 and over for the strongest blessing. This prevents the player from abusing the temporary +100 infamy gained from wearing the Gray Cowl of Nocturnal to get the best blessing.[/]
