✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 198 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads — players clearly find it useful.
- Lightweight script means minimal performance impact, which is a big plus for Oblivion's aging engine.
- Configurable per weapon type gives you control to fine-tune the feel to your liking.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2020 — might have compatibility issues with newer mod setups or patches.
- Only affects melee weapons — if you're a magic or archery player, this mod won't change your gameplay.
For Oblivion players who care about combat realism and want melee weapons to feel more authentic based on their physical size. If you're tired of daggers hitting like greatswords or vice versa, this is for you. Skip if you prefer arcade-style combat or don't use melee much.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod uses a script, make sure you have OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender) installed, as most script-based mods require it.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM to install and manage the mod, and check load order if you have other combat overhauls.
- Test the weapon reach and speed settings in a safe save before committing to a playthrough — tweak them to your preference.
