No, this mod isn't making your items weigh more or Finger of the Mountain cost forty gajillion magicka. Yes, that's what they're like in vanilla. No it doesn't make much sense. I haven't touched any of the stats of any of these things.
No, your thing is still leveled even if the damage is low. Your displayed damage in the game is based off your attributes and weapon skill, like they say they are.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've never played the original so I don't know the ins and outs of this game. But wouldn't this make the game widely unbalanced and make the quest items better than anything else? I looked up some leveled item stats on the wiki and a 25 damage swords feels like cheating when I'm lv 2. For example, Debaser has a damage of 10 at low level while the lv 25 version has a damage of 24.
Some other items scale much more with increased item levels, an item that gives an elemental damage for example increases in damage both in raw physical damage and the elemental damage, making the higher leveled versions much more overpowered at lower levels.
You know what would be a good idea? Instead of using an overpowered item that you would usually only be able to acquire in that form at say level 20+ maybe you just keep it in a cupboard until you actually reach the level you were supposed to have when you acquired this through the use of this mod. Think of it as a "you are not powerful enough to use this item yet" kinda deal, except now you dont have to frantically look up every quest, reload before finishing it and write down "finish quest X at level 20".
Could you explain what this mod actually does for someone who never played the original Oblivion. I sort of have an idea, but not sure if I understand the concept exactly. Based on my understanding, weapons are scale to your level---what I mean is for example - if a weapon you like is level 2 (and useless) and you are level 17 (my current level), the weapon will scale to my level (17), is that correct?
Thanks in advance.
P.S modders are the best thing to happen to PC gaming :)
@2020chrisnguyen Original Oblivion only scales high-level gear down. Meaning if you get really good gear, the best gear even, early enough in the game, it will only ever have mid stats because it was scaled for your low level. This mod removes the aspect which scales high-levl gear's stats down, it will not scale low-level gear up.
Real men play on the hardest difficulty. Nothing makes you overpowered there mate. A stupid rat is half-god there >:O Great mod! Morrowind has the best leveling btw! Hail Nerevar!
"which completely ruinsthe whole point of this mod, lol" How? All it does is make sure high level gear will be scaled up for when you actually want to use it.
The crimson eviscerator in deepscorn hollow is still leveled. Other items have been unleveled so far though, thanks!
Edit: the crimson eviscerator in the world will still be leveled according to your level when you find it, but upon picking it up it will be replaced with the max level. Thanks for the great mod.
