About this mod

Pure Steel Blade v1.51f This plugin adds a new two-handed sword to the game. You can buy it from Rohssan in A Fighting Chance at the Imperial City Market District. I HATE these low-poly models, so I decided to make something hi-poly. 28845 polys!

There is no significant preformance loss (2-3% with Radeon9600 and GeForce7600GS).
Sometimes sword looks crappy without AA - all these little details...

This sword is LONG (longer than claymore), and forged out of rare alchemist's Pure Steel, so it's light, sharp and shiny. It's faster, longer and inflict more damage than any other same-weight sword!

Stats balanced for MOBS & OOO.

Weight - 26
Durability - 600
Reach - 1.32 (Claymore - 1.1)
Speed - 0.88
Damage - 30
Value - 20000

Installation
----------------------------------------------------------------

- Extract files to your Oblivion\Data directory. Nothing should be overwritten (I used unique filenames).

Save Games
----------------------------------------------------------------

Should have no effect on saved games.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues/Conflicts
----------------------------------------------------------------

Golden emboss looks white from distance. It's lighting system problem, not mesh or tex. Small details often aliased.
