📋 About This Mod
It's always bothered me that for some reason, your own two hands were louder than a dagger. There's literally no reason I can think of for that to be the case. What's even weirder is that I've never seen a mod for it anywhere. Sure unarmed is super bare bones the way BGS left it, but that shouldn't stop the modding community.
This mod just changes the "Detection Sound Level" on unarmed from Normal to Silent. If there's any issues with mods, let me know (or do it yourself, it's so super easy).
In the future, I may also change the attack speed since somehow putting a dagger in your hand suddenly makes you attack faster. Fists have a 1. 0 speed which is equivalent to a sword while daggers have a speed of 1. 3. It's a small fix, but I just don't feel like it right now.
A small stealth-focused tweak that makes unarmed attacks silent, fixing the odd inconsistency where daggers are quiet but fists aren't. Simple, effective, and popular with 530 endorsements.
