You hear that? It is the sound of heavy metallic punctuated by the sound of demons being shot, stabbed, and splattered starting to choose up, as a result of Doom: The Dark Ages is almost right here. When you fancy getting some observe in earlier than it does, however are nonetheless busy with Oblivion Remastered, you are in luck, as a modder has introduced a set of Praetor armour to Tamriel.
Yep, what higher approach to get your self within the temper for Doom than to bloodbath a bunch of indignant critters rising from spooky doorways to a spot that is hotter than Ibiza and has simply as a lot terrifying orangeness speeding about. Plus, the weapons you may have at your disposal are nonetheless fairly medieval, even when they’ve not obtained mini-chainsaws in-built.
Enter modder RuneOracle97, who’s managed to mod a Praetor armour set into Oblivion’s remaster, of their phrases “bridging the hole between Cyrodil and Hell itself”. Proper now, their creation – the aptly-named ‘Slayer of Kvatch‘ – provides the swimsuit to the video games a standalone heavy armor set you will discover if you rush to help of Kvatch and shut its Oblivion Gate.
“The armor is barely lighter than Daedric, however gives barely extra safety, with x2 the armor well being worth,” the modder defined, “Whereas the mannequin is break up into a number of components so you’ve got each bit of apparatus, sadly with the way in which the mannequin is formed, it will not look proper should you equip partial items. All the pieces however the Cuirass and Greaves may be worn independently with out making your physique invisible.”
Whereas the mod’s just about simply the armour in the mean time, with including new content material nonetheless being in its infancy as people continue to push the boundaries of what Oblivion Remastered modding can do, RuneOracle97 has large plans for it going forwards.
“There aren’t any different hidden gadgets (but),” they wrote, “I am nonetheless engaged on it and can ultimately change the acquisition methodology of the armour fully with a totally featured quest revolving across the Doom Slayer and the way he may find yourself in Cyrodiil.”
If unsure, I would say you possibly can excuse absolutely anything Elder Scrolls-lore clever by simply blaming Sheogorath, so perhaps this armour is a set he solid throughout a fever dream and determined to allow you to use to batter Mehrunes Dagon’s forces due to an ongoing neighbourly dispute over the appropriate peak of corpse hedges constructed from piles of lifeless bandit hedge wizards?
So, there you go. When you fancy a harder battle than post-level 10 Kvatch often is, NaiadGirl’s ‘Quarantined Oblivion Gates‘ seems like one other mod value grabbing, because it beefs up the quantities of Daedra and Imperial troopers you may discover preventing round open gates.
