The Oghma Infinium is a reward given by Hermaeus Mora after completing the 15th, and final, Daedric quest. The book rewards you with some stat boosts chosen from one of three paths.

This plugin is ONLY for those people who have experienced a crash to the desktop after selecting any of the three paths once the book has been equipped through inventory. I wanted to make a plugin that allowed us to not lose the opportunity this reward had to offer. There are script fixes out there that fix the problem with the Willpower boost in the "Spirit Path", but this fix provides an alternative "solution" to the crash problem, despite the inclusion of the Willpower fix. This plugin is not intended for anyone who doesn't have the crash problem. If you're only looking for a fix for the Willpower problem, then look elsewhere.

This plugin creates an Oghma Infinium "2nd Edition", which provides the stat boosts only after completing Hermaeus Mora's (15th) Daedric quest. It will provide you with the same stat boosts as the original Oghma Infinium (and also the corrected Willpower boost). Upon equipping it, the original Oghma Infinium will be removed from your inventory. After choosing a path, the Oghma Infinium "2nd Edition" will be removed from your inventory as well.

The Oghma Infinium "2nd Edition" is attached to its own script, which has been scripted so that people can't just get the book and give themselves stat boosts without having completed all 15 Daedric quests. I have also added a check to see if the player has already completed the Daedric quests and doesn't have the original Oghma Infinium in their inventory, which most likely means they have already gained the stats and had the original book removed. If the original book is not in their inventory, the script will prevent them from getting additional stat boosts from the 2nd Edition.

In version 1.0, I had used a script that added boosts to Alchemy, Alteration, Mysticism and Illusion. I didn't realize that they were not a part of the original boosts. That was a mistake on my part and I have corrected the script by removing those entries. My apologies for the inconvenience as there isn't anything that can be done about it if you have used v1.0 already, except live with the extra boosts. I tried using the "modpcs" console command with "-10" to reverse the stats, but it just hung my system. It was also pointed out that the original script didn't provide boosts that counted towards your level. To correct this, I have reverted to the same method used in the original script, with the obvious addition of the Willpower boost and quest checks.


Installation
Copy the file Fix_OghmaInfiniumCrash.esp into your Oblivion\data folder. Select it using OblivionLauncher.

Usage

Oghma Infinium 2nd Edition can be found at the Hermaeus Mora shrine. It will be easy to find - unless you are a blind Moth priest. After you add the book to your inventory, equip it to get your choice of paths and stat boosts. As mentioned earlier, the original Oghma Infinium will be removed from your inventory prior to choosing your path, and the Oghma Infinium "2nd Edition" will be removed from your inventory after choosing a path.


Uninstallation
Once you have your stat boosts and have saved your game, you can deselect Fix_OghmaInfiniumCrash.esp using OblivionLauncher. It has done its job and is no longer needed.

Note
Use this plugin at your own risk. As always, when using new plugins, make saves and backups first.
