Oblivion Remastered mod makes its best part last forever_ A Dark Brotherhood freelancer mode with in

For a game without official mod support, modders sure are going hard on Oblivion Remastered. There's the mod to make you a , a mod to fix the game's , and it took a mere three hours for the game to get its (there have been many more since. No, I'm not listing them).

But might be my favourite one yet. From an author named ColdTyrant (they're probably really nice in reality), it's essentially Hitman's Freelancer Mode for Oblivion's guild of cloaked assassins. It adds "100 dafabet Assassination Contracts spread across all eight major cities, randomly selected at assignment and infinitely repeatable," that you can pick up mc888 off a table in the Brotherhood's Cheydinhal sanctuary.

These are "lesser contracts," and not as involved as the ones you get during the actual Dark Brotherhood questline. You get your target and a location and off you go a-murderin'. Fear not, the mod won't have you murder anyone vital to Oblivion's many quests. Instead, it spins up new people—with names like 'Diligent Father' to make you feel really good about your career—for you to translate into glory.

Once your blade is bloodied, you get 500 gold and two "Dark Tokens," a whole new currency the mod has created for use with "Creeper's Gacha Chest." Creeper is the scamp who was Morrowind's second-best merchant, and he's returned for this mod in order to give you loot. Hand over your tokens, choose what you wanna play for (random weapons, jewellery, armour, that kind of thing) and spin the wheel. It's all the dopamine of live service without the life-ruining financial strain.

It's a genuinely impressive thing, and as someone who'd much rather earn my crust hanging around Oblivion's weird clockwork cities rather than yet another Ayleid ruin, cave, or fort, it's exactly the kind of mod I'm looking for in my own game. It also doesn't touch the actual Dark Brotherhood questline at all, so you don't have to avoid installing it for fear of muddling riches888pg base Oblivion's best part.

If you want to give it a try, you'll need and first. ColdTyrant also recommends and the . Once you've done that, grab the mod from , drop the .esp in your ObvData/Data folder, and add it to the game's Plugins.txt file. Then, you know, glory to the Dread Father Sithis and all that.
