Alright, so here’s the thing — I was chewing on something, can’t remember what — anyway, there’s this wild mod for Oblivion now. Yeah, Oblivion, where you’re the Hero of Kvatch or something. Fancy title… for someone who can now eat rocks. Yep, you heard it. Rocks. And, hold on, gemstones! Because why not?
I know, some of you might be yelling at your screens, like, “Didn’t Morrowind do that already?” Sure did. Morrowind was that classic Elder Scrolls game with all these quirky mechanics. You know, like spears. Some folks just love those, don’t they? Ever tried getting directions from someone who wishes you weren’t there? That’s Morrowind for you.
Anyway — wait, let’s reel it back — there’s this mod by someone (named CephalonImp, I think) called ‘Edible Gems.’ Pretty straightforward. Imagine this: you’re in Cyrodiil, gobbling rocks like a rebellious teen squad on a mission. Turning these 14 random items into something, let’s call them snacks, is genius! Eat a gold nugget, and boom, you’re experiencing all these wild alchemical effects. Silency? Burdeny? Weakness to shocky? All while imagining you’re having a chat with Sheogorath and asking Jamie Oliver for a recipe suggestion.
You can have this strange three-course meal: pearls to start, madness ore with a touch of sapphire maybe, and something bizarre like bear skin for dessert. I mean, think of the nutrition — or not.
The modder’s kept it true to Morrowind, with the same effects because, hey, why eat rocks if it’s not lore-friendly? And sure, some flawless gem thing is off the list, but now all gems are worth the same crazy amount. Talk about choices, huh? You’re either dining like a king or eating away potential riches. No mods yet for the aftershocks of ingesting sharp gems, though.
Anyway, before you go, make sure you dust off that gravel and check out these interviews with Oblivion Remastered modders. They’re pushing boundaries or something. Keep it real, folks.
