📋 About This Mod

Swaps some models around to avoid overuse/conform with prior canon, plus renames two errors that were bugging me. Now with organized subfolders according to weapon type.

Just my own personal pet peeves corrected, but I figured I might as well see if anybody else is interested. Latest update changes/notes in bold.

IMMERSIVE MODEL SWAP

Swaps around certain models in an attempt to conform with canon appearances elsewhere, avoid overuse when possible, and also just general vibes.

- Metal Shields

Shield of the Resolute now uses the templar model (8003) to match the description of "a shield worthy of the knight commander."

Spirit of the 4:60 Black now shares the Dark Shield model (8007) to give it both a non-round appearance and the implication of the title.

The Shield of the Knight Herself now has Warstopper's model (8033) in an attempt to give it the actual mix of Orlesian and Dalish design implied by the lore.

Defender of the Wall takes the Reinforced Shield's model (8041) for vibes.

River's Wave takes Hearth Shield's model (8038) for vibes.

Wardwall now use Cornerstone's model (8001) to better match its designation as a metal shield and for vibes.

Cornerstone now uses the unused model 8050 - the game's files indicate it was meant for Aveline, but it looks...unfinished if that was the intention. Might as well use it to complete her companion quest, showing how far Jeven has fallen.

- Round Shields

Warstopper takes Wardwall's model (8002) to match its intimidating name and designation as a round shield.

Kirkwall Shield (model 8042) now bears the city's heraldry, as it should.

Shield of the Light/Flame/Faith uses Oddsmaker's model 8034 emblazoned with the Chantry's heraldry, as a nod to Origins' Templar Shield.

Ferelden Soldier's Shield now uses model 8036 (Blank Heraldic Shield) to match its round designation, with Ferelden heraldry.

Reinforced Shield now uses Oddsmaker's model (8034) to match the Inquisition shields of the same name.

Hearth Shield now uses Volcanic Shield's model (8037) for vibes and roundness.

Oddsmaker uses the afaik unused model 8030 (rough-looking kite shield) for the vibes.

Markham Head Stopper uses model 8043 for vibes.

- Longbows:

Recurve Bow now shares The Heavens' Answer's model (2135) to keep the name accurate while preserving the elvish implication of the Arlathan Longbow.

Cynoeswr Sain takes model 2131 from the Mariner Longbow to keep Bassath-Kata unique.

All three Mariner Longbows take the generic longbow (model 2103) because it is, unlike the original model, actually a longbow.

Borderfall now shares the Nevarran Lancer's model (2134) for vibe reasons.

- Shortbows:

Ferelden Shortbow now shares its appearance with the Weathered Bow (model 2023).

Undeclared Orlesian Longbow renamed to Undeclared Orlesian Shortbow, since that's what it is mechanically.

The Runt's Spiker now uses The Trepanner's Gift model (2020) for vibes and to avoid frequent dupl
