1. DESCRIPTION

*****************************************************************


VERSION: 1.1a

PLUGIN TYPE: Miscellaneous

REQUIRED FILES: Oblivion.esm latest version
OBSE v0016 or higher download it at http://obse.silverlock.org/

This mod adds the Death Note to Oblivion.

The Death Note is a book with the power to kill people by only writing their name and having their faces in mind while writing

Version 1.1a fixes bugs occurred with some NPCs that didn't die.

What's New in v 1.1?
1) Fixed bugs occurred with Killablerespawns active
2) Added support for easy upgrades

When you load the game you will begin to memorize people faces and you will get the Death Note, NOTE: in the inventory its name is Death Note without "the"

When you open the Death Note you will see this options:
JUST READ, let you read your Death Note and move through the pages, in the first, second and third pages there are the rules of the Death Note (ignore them apart from rule 1 and 2, they are only there for the manga and anime fans), in the other pages will be stored the names of the people died by Death Note.
WRITE, open a box with a botton and the text: the text let you see what you are writing, the button confirm what you wrote

After you wrote a name of a person you met at least once, he/she will die: see the P.F.A.Q. for other important info on how the death is implemented in game

See also The Death Note.ini file in The Death Note Settings folder to choose the people that will die by death note

5. P.F.A.Q. (Possible Frequently Asked Question)

*****************************************************************
PQ1: I wrote the name of a NPC and I'm sure I met him and typed the name correctly, but the name isn't written in the death note, Why?

PQ2: I wrote the name of a NPC that must die for a quest and I'm sure I met him and typed the name correctly, but the quest journal didn't update to say he/she was dead, Why?

Answer for PQ1 and PQ2: those things happen only if the NPCs are in another cells when you write their name in the Death Note, due to the oblivion engine they won't die, so the Death Note won't have their names and the quest won't update until you are in their same cell.
Although you don't need to write their name only if they are in your same cell: just write their name when you want and, if they have to die, visit them and you will find their dead bodies lying on the ground.
