Morrowind skillsweapons mods for Oblivion

Post » Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:50 pm

Hey,

I'm just getting back into Oblivion, but I'm really missing some of the skills and weapon types that were left out of this game, but were in Morrowind.

So now I'm looking for any mods for Oblivion that will add all of, or most of, the skills/weapons that were in Morrowind, but removed from Oblivion.

For example skills like long/short blade, spear, unarmored, etc. Naturally I'll need some mods that add Morrowind weapons to the game as well like spears, staves, etc.

If anyone could send some good mods my way I'd really appreciate it.

Cheers

There are few mods which attempt to bring something from the old skill system, but they're all incomplete or bugged. The skill system is hardcoded in the engine and only expert modders can do anything at all. There are very few expert modders left after the Skyrim release, but sometimes old ones respawn, and new ones appear.

  • Many mods add spears, but they're classified as blade or blunt, while staves don't have a skill, since they don't hit but only cast their enchantment.
  • If you're looking for crossbows there are very few mods. They works well enough, but they're all linked to the Marksman skill. Search "crossbow" to find them.
  • As for throwing weapons, only Unnecessary Violence add a decent throwing system (and you can throw anything, not only weapons!), but the mod itself is slightly bugged and (apparently) abandoned. Also, the throwing system use the Marksman skill as well.
  • Unarmored skill is something I saw somewhere in a mod, which attempt to create a separated skill with scripts. Try searching for "unarmored" on the nexus.
  • The only successfully attempt (I know about) to add a new skill comes from http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/41553/?, which add the "Enchant" skill. It works perfectly and you can even see the skill in the skill menu.

Both Maskars Overhaul and Elsweyr Anequina add spears as either one or two handed blades weapons, but they do not attack like a spear, more like a claymore. Maskars also adds chiten armor and weapons.

Galerians unarmored adds the unarmored skill back to the game. There are two versions, I prefer the older version.

That's all I know that bring Morrowind skills/weapons/armor into Oblivion.
