Weaponry of Resdayn Rebalanced

WHY THIS MOD?

____________________________

To put it gently, Morrowind isn't the most balanced game of all times. For unknown reasons Bethesda decided that beating the air with your bare fists will reach the enemy as easily as attacking with a battle axe and that random goblin clubs are better than rare daedric maces. This mod fixes these problems by making weapon ranges more realistic, rebalancing some clearly over-the-top equipment from expansions and adjusting stats of other weapons accordingly. It also provides some additional combat improvements. Covers Tamriel Rebuilt and other mods, works with OpenMW.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Weapon ranges

In Morrowind the reach of almost all weapons is 1. 0 (around 6 feet). There are some exceptions to this rule, but with the vast majority of weapons you'll reach the opponent from exactly the same distance. That's why I decided to make weapon ranges more diverse and realistic by adjusting them to every weapon's length. The final ranges I came up with are the following:

• []Hand-to-hand: 0. 5

  []One-handed maces: 0. 55

  []One-handed axes: 0. 59

  []Short blades: 0. 6

  []Two-handed axes: 0. 79

  []Two-handed hammers: 0. 89

  []Long blades: 0. 97

  []Staves: 1. 52

  []Two-handed swords: 1. 54

  []Spears: 1. 60

  0. 8 for some shortswords/wakizashis 

  Weaponry from expansions

  In vanilla most weapon stats follow a coherent pattern of increased power and price, depending on the material they are made of. However, Tribunal and Bloodmoon threw this logic out of the window, making many weapon types feel out of place when compared to the base game gear. Now all expansion weapons are in line with those found in vanilla.

  Other weapon tweaks

  After having adjusted weapon ranges and rebalanced equipment from expansions, I found out that a lot of weaponry still needed additional tweaks:

  • []Bound weapons: using bound weapons is almost cheating, since they are as powerful as the best items in the game. Now they all deal less damage than their Daedric counterparts.
    • []Misassigned weapon flags: there are many inconsistencies regarding silver weapon/ignores normal weapon resistance flags. Now all silver weapons are marked as such and all magic weapons bypass normal weapon resistance.
