Morrowind Bladed Weapons Immersion Tuning

Morrowind weapons stats are set by their weapon categories and weapon types with some inconsistencies. Along those there are some items which the developers decided to make specialist weapons for a damage type, at the cost of other damage types. This mod adjusts five types of bladed weapons to be more versatile and more in line with their categories instead of specialist weapons. Because these weapons aren't specialist like axes or blunt weapons and were used as flexible and adaptable weapons in combat.

Following weapon types are changed by this mod to be more versatile: Sabers, katanas, dai-katanas, wakizashis and halberds. Sabers and katanas have been adjusted to be more alike longswords in their material types. Sabers and katanas now have thrust damage closer to longswords while having less than longswords in their respective materials, sabers further had their chop damage reduced to be closer to longswords but have greatest slash damage in their category. Dai-katanas and wakizashis similarly were given increased thrust damage while being kept under spears in their own category. Finally halberds were given medium amount of chop and slash damage, with more consistent damage to be the versatile alternative to specialist spears.

All these weapons are relatively limited in material availability compared to more common versatile or specialist weapons however Morrowind's characteristic irregularities between different type of material was kept.

Furthermore either Directional Attack Stat Stances or Timed Directional Attacks are recommended to keep directional attacks relevant.
