EB Diseases.txt


This is my take on the disease system, which is fairly inconsequential in oblivion. In the base game they're just a nuissance (except Astral Vapors). At worst they'll knock off a bit of carry weight to make you drop an item or two. This mod aims to make it necessary to cure those diseases. It doesn't make carriers more likely to infect you, but it dramatically worsens symptoms so they're no longer nuissances - they're threats. And even if one disease doesn't affect you directly - like <damage magicka> on your warrior - each disease weakens your system, giving you at least 25% weakness to disease, making it more likely to catch a potentially deadly illness. Now you'll be that much more likely to agree that mudcrabs are nasty creatures.
