Oblivion Remastered Modder Tackles Flawed Loot System with Unique Fix
The much-anticipated Oblivion Remastered is seeing a fix from modder Trainwiz addressing its problematic levelled loot system.
The remastered version of Oblivion has addressed several issues present in the original game, yet it has left one significant flaw unsolved: the levelled loot system. Fortunately, modder Trainwiz, known for innovative mods like introducing functioning trains in Fallout New Vegas and transforming Skyrim’s dragons into Ohio, has created a solution.
What is Levelled Loot?
In traditional RPGs such as Morrowind, players could find any significant loot regardless of their character’s level. However, in Oblivion, many rewards, along with items found in quests and chests, were adjusted to correspond with the player’s progression. For instance, wielding the Blade of Woe at low levels yields minimal damage, while retrieving it later grants significantly more power.
The Modder’s Fix
Trainwiz’s mod, titled Unleveled Item Rewards, guarantees that players will receive optimal rewards irrespective of their level at the time of acquisition, thus restoring the essence of adventure that players cherished.
In the description of the mod, Trainwiz humorously expresses their frustration over the existing system. “When I discovered that quest rewards still stem from a leveled pool, I was engulfed by a rage so profound I blacked out. Upon regaining consciousness, this mod had materialized, alongside a cocoon of train-like matter surrounding the executed decision-maker responsible for the leveled loot. It was a fate they rightfully deserved.”
This quote provides deeper insight into Trainwiz’s comedic take on their frustrations regarding the levelled loot system, a sentiment many players can resonate with. While they claim to jest, there’s clear agreement on the need for change regarding how loot is distributed in Oblivion.
Conclusion
With Trainwiz’s contributions, the Oblivion Remastered experience is poised to improve, keeping the game’s classic charm while addressing modern gaming expectations surrounding quest rewards.
