📋 About This Mod

OWL - TWEAKS AND ADDONS

When deletepch released Open World Loot, it was the loot overhaul I had always wanted but never gotten around to making. I was especially happy to see the framework implemented in OWL which makes adding additional items to the levelled lists a breeze and so here we are.

THIS MOD IS DEPRECATED.

Open World Loot has received a substantial update and my addons no longer function as intended. I am currently working on several OWL tweaks and patches, which will appear on a new mod page. I am leaving this page available for posterity only.

OWL 1.x ARCHIVE

All files that I had originally made were intended for OWL 1.x and are now deprecated.

NO DAEDRIC LOOT

I happen to dislike seeing Daedric equipment in random loot so I completely removed it from all levelled lists in the OWL - Randomised Special Loot plugin. Granted, Daedric loot would only appear from level 65 onward and it would remain exceedingly rare. Now it won't show up in random loot at all. Note that I did not remove Daedric loot from the Dremora merchant who will continue to sell it.

While I'd originally considered to remove Dragonbone equipment as well I ultimately decided to keep it in the levelled lists. It's not unrealistic for other people to dig up dragon bones from the old burial mounds and it will only drop on Solstheim as very rare loot from level 65 onward. Certain enemies in the Soul Cairn will also drop Dragonbone weapons.

BETTER CIVIL WAR REWARD

Toward the end of the civil war quest, after the enemy's capital city has been taken, you will be rewarded with a leveled sword regardless of which side you took. Since OWL delevels all unique weapons, it also affects this weapon but for some reason the version you now get is the Glass Sword with the second-best enchantment. I thought this made very little sense especially for people who sided with the Stormcloaks so I changed it to the Ebony Sword with the best enchantment. (I realise that this is a tad pedantic but hey, nobody's forcing you to download this file, eh?)

OWL AMB ARMOR VARIANTS

I used to be a big fan of the original aMidianBorn Book of Silence Content Addon which added a bunch of alternative textures as additional variants to the game. The content addon was ported to SSE by kryptopyr, however, the port is dependent on Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered which suffers from
