Siggi's Alternate Slayer Transformation Animation
This is a simple mod I created for myself that changes the Slayer Form transformation's animation. Although the animation already looks great, for some reason, I always found that it looked a bit off, like the Dark Urge is 'losing control' or something along those lines. However, by altering the animation, the transformation looks deliberate, impressive, and imposing.
After a couple people saw it, they said I should share it here. So, if you like it, feel free to throw it into your playthrough!
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Uh, like that!
HOW DOES THE MOD WORK?
All it does is make a small edit to the "Shout_DarkUrge_Slayer" entry in the game's spell data, altering the PrepSound, CastSound, prepatory animation, and casting animation to match that of Wild Shape (Bear Variant). The rest of the data entry is unchanged. That being said, all the changes should be purely visual and auditory - it has no impact on mechanics, balance, or anything else.INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This can be installed like most other .pak mods using BG3MM by LaughingLeader (if you don't have it, you can download it from GitHub here! - While you can install this mod using Vortex, I strongly advise against it. This has nothing to do with the mod itself or how it interacts with Vortex, it has more to do with how Vortex interacts with BG3. It places mod files in strange places in your game folder and in your AppData, handles mods and load orders very messily, and has personally caused me a lot of headache. If you prefer it, go ahead - but again, I recommend BG3MM instead for a much simpler and more seamless modding experience.
