📋 About This Mod

DISCLAIMER: Trainwiz made this mod. He offered me to upload it here.

DESCRIPTION ____________________________________________________________________ I can't be the only one who loathes Oblivion and Skyrim's levelled loot system in its entirety. What's the point of exploring when every single dungeon has randomly generated loot based off your level? And, after waiting to see if anyone shared my sentiments about this and fixed it, and seeing nothing, I decided to make my own. Now, there are a few mods that de-level Skyrim's loot system. Mine's a bit different. It says "Loot system, nobody likes you" and gets rid of it almost entirely. Instead, it takes a Morrowind approach, and puts those armors and weapons out in the world. Now the player may actively explore places to discover objects, as they'll be hidden in dungeons (and logically hidden, so no more orc weapons in dwemer ruins), worn by people, and similar. It also tweaks a few things to encourage this aforementioned exploration.

FEATURES ____________________________________________________________________ +Completely removes higher level (dwemer+) objects from levelled loot lists, though things like potions and scrolls can still be found. +Adds these back in as static objects hidden around the world, and in logical places for example: -Dwemer equipment is only found in dwemer ruins and containers,; or by a select few who can afford it. -Orcish equipment is carried by, get this, orcs. -Elven equipment can be found in various places, though most are carried by Thalmor. -Glass equipment is given out to a few Morrowinders who managed to save some, as well as high ranking personnel in various factions. -Only a few sets of Ebony armor and equipment even exist, worn by nobles and the rich. -And finally, only a single normal set of daedric armor exists, much like Morrowind, but spread out and is a serious pain to find. You'll have to earn it. +Higher level equipment may no longer be crafted! Suck it up, it's weird that the Dragonborn suddenly gains magical star knowledge to craft insane soul-wrenching deatharmor anyways, and objects may still be improved at a forge. +Higher level robes are removed, readded to the world as static objects +While the majority of higher level generic random magical items (such as an Ebony Bow of Bolts) are gone, a few pieces will still exist, renamed and put in other areas. The rest you'll have to enchant yourself. +Adds in artifacts from past games, such as: -Skullcrusher -Daedric Crescent -Lord's Mail -Scourge -King Orgnum's Coffer -Fang of Haynekhtnamet -Fists of Randagulf -Dragonbone Cuirass -Boots of Blinding Speed -Vampiric Ring
