So, there’s this mod for Oblivion, right? Oblivion Remastered, to be exact. And guess what? You can munch on rocks now. Yep, rocks. And no, I’m not making this up. Reminds me of that weird dream where I became the Hero of Kvatch and ended up devouring random stuff. Who’s up for some gemstone desserts?
Anyway, remember Morrowind? Ah, the good old days. So many quirks Bethesda tossed in. Like, maybe we need more spears and fewer GPS directions. Ever asked someone for directions on holiday and watched them barely tolerate your existence? Yeah, just like that.
So, this modder, CephalonImp, came up with ‘Edible Gems.’ It’s pretty much a ‘what-you-see-is-what-you-get’ kinda deal. Imagine roaming Cyrodiil and stuffing your pockets with rocks and gems like some fantasy biker gang. Random, right?
These 14 items, they’re now alchemy ingredients. Eat a gold nugget, and it’s like… surprise! A mix of silence, burden, shock weakness, and just a dash of personality fortification. Ever wondered what Sheogorath would think? Probably dialing Jamie Oliver to shout about “real cuisine.”
How about a three-course meal with pearls, madness ore, iron ore, and—wait for it—a bear pelt for dessert? Nutritional chaos, anyone? At least it’s lore-friendly. CephalonImp made sure of that. Can’t eat rocks without staying true to the lore, I guess.
Oh, and flawless gems? They’re gone, replaced with all gems being as valuable as flawless ones. Talk about eating your savings, literally. That’s RPG choice for you. Wonder if we’ll get mods that add health damage later on—just to spice things up.
Anyway, remember to clean the gravel off your plate. Seriously, check out those interviews we’ve done with other cool modders from Oblivion Remastered. Who would’ve thought eating rocks could be this immersive?
