📋 About This Mod
MORE MANTICORE
New BETA mod uploaded. Uses my own Manticore gear. For players who find Witcher type of combat too difficult, or just don't like it. (Trying to get my Dragon Age friends over here.) AND for those who want to play at a higher difficulty level then they are normally capable of. AND for those who want to power through the game as quickly as possible. Click the FORUMS tab for more; feel free to start your own discussion and keep the beta test out of the normal comments.
Thanks to Nightwishmaria for testing in NGP.
This mod will change all armor/weapons to a customized version of the Manticore set. This consists of lvl1 chest & gloves, lvl2 pants & boots, and lvl2 swords. This change is in APPEARANCE only. All items will keep their vanilla stats. This applies to items looted, bought and crafted. Visual changes will take place immediately upon installation of this mod and will revert back immediately with the removal of this mod. Works on original and NG+ games.
An OPTIONAL retex of these specific armor items is available and shown in all images. This is my personal set so no requests will be taken.
People like the look of the Manticore gear but the opportunity to upgrade with level isn't the best. This mod allows the user to keep a customized visual Manticore look while making it easier to upgrade based on item stats. This is my personal set so no requests will be taken.
Changes in the item . XML files causes the game to replace the appearance of the actual equipment with the Manticore gear.
No scripts are used!
This mod does NOT change the actual mesh or texture of any vanilla equipment. So if you have any mods installed that make changes to the Manticore items they will carry over. IF you use the included retex those specific items are static as is and will conflict with any retex changing the same items. If you would prefer to use a different retex please use the search function to check out other Manticore options on the Nexus.
This is my personal set so no requests will be taken regarding the retex or equipment items/combos.
