Oblivion Remastered Mod Now Lets You Eat Rocks

So, let me tell you about this wild thing I stumbled upon. It’s a mod for Oblivion—yeah, that Elder Scrolls game where you’re the big hero—but in this version, you can literally eat rocks. Yep, rocks. I mean, it doesn’t make sense, right? But here we are.

Now, for those who remember Morrowind, you already know where this is heading. Bethesda had all these quirky mechanics. And, admit it, some folks really miss those, like when you’re carrying spears or hunting down places using vague directions. Fun times? Possibly. Or maybe just frustrating. Depends on the mood.

Anyway, there’s this mod called ‘Edible Gems’ by someone named CephalonImp. Straightforward name, huh? Inside, you’ve got all kinds of rocks and gems you can munch on while roaming Cyrodiil. Imagine yourself as a young punk on a bike—except, you know, in a fantasy world. Crazy, right?

Here’s how it works: you pick up these items and they become alchemy ingredients. So, you chow down on a gold nugget and, surprise—it’s not just heavy in your stomach. It carries all these strange alchemical properties that might make you feel slightly shocked or overly personable. Sounds delicious? Maybe not, but hey, to each their own, right? You might even feel like calling up Sheogorath for a chat while you shout something like, “This is fine dining!” and take a classy burp.

Picture this: a three-course meal starting with pearls, moving on to madness ore with a sapphire touch, and then—wait for it—a bear pelt dessert. Yeah, you’re eating animal hides too. Sounds nutritious. Or just plain weird. You decide.

CephalonImp also made sure some rocks have those Morrowind effects because, you know, who’d dare ruin immersion by letting you eat stuff un-lore-friendly? That’s sacred ground, folks.

Now—and this is big—gem variants are eliminated, but every gem’s got the flawless value now. Top-notch snacking quality and all. Although, goodbye to the chance of selling them for some nice coin. Choices, am I right? Imagine if the pointy bits you swallowed hit back later with health damage. That’d be some realism there.

So, as you finish your gravel plate, maybe check out interviews with other Oblivion Remastered modders doing all sorts of interesting projects. They’re pushing boundaries, and I guess that’s pretty cool.
