The Witcher 2 - Geralt Light Armor and Witcher Swords

Following on from my Iorveth Light Armor mod, here's a Light Armor version of the Raven's Armor from The Witcher 2.

Update 01/11/2015 : As you can probably guess from the long absence, I am doing nothing further with this mod. Do what you want with it but give a shout out to  L0rd0fWar and Dahaka002011 for the work they contributed as well if you release anything using assets from this mod.

Update 03/11/2012: Further work on this mod has been put on hold as I don't have the time at the moment to keep it maintained and updated. It's still not perfect but I think it is feature complete enough for some people to get enjoyment out of it. Thanks to you all for your support.

Please note that the original ports of the textures/meshes are (mostly) not my work. I took L0rd0fWar's Geralt and Iorveth models and made them into standalone armor sets. The dual swords trick comes courtesy of Dahaka002011's Witcher's Blades mod. If you like this mod, please go and give them both your endorsement!

Thanks also to TheXenophobe for his darker pants retexture, which is now the default pants texture as of v. 07b.

A few notes on armor ratings and balance:

After deliberating over whether to make Geralt's armor light or heavy, I decided to try and find a happy medium between both. I feel light armor is more appropriate for a witcher, but as anyone who has played a light-armored character on Expert or Master knows, melee combat can be extremely unforgiving on the high difficulty settings. I have therefore allocated armor ratings which I think give sufficient survivability without being overpowered. If you disagree, I'd love to hear your comments.

About the swords:

In addition to making them craftable and improvable, I also tweaked the weapon stats. I've made them swing faster to fit in with Geralt's style of fighting, but reduced the damage to make them balanced. The standard Witcher swords do
