Description

Gheed the Gambler is a mod that brings the popular character and his gambling mechanic from the Diablo franchise of games to Skyrim.

Gheed can be located in the wilderness to the south of Dragon Bridge, west of Morthal. He may have a favor to ask the player in order to use his unique service.




Gambling
If you've played Diablo II, you're probably familiar with the sly merchant from the Rogue Encampment, Gheed.  More than just a gold sink, this mod gives you a magical item with each purchase with a chance of obtaining a unique relic. The cost in gold may be high, but the rewards could be great!

Here is a list of the unique items you can obtain from Gheed by gambling.
