📋 About This Mod

Replacing reduced NPC sword models with normal ones. And the experimental version - Diverse NPC Swords.

Have you ever thought that there was something wrong with the swords of NPCs? I'm not even saying that they're not fully sheathed. It turns out their swords are reduced. This mod fixes this issue.

Experimental version (1. 2) -  Diversity

It's stable, but I have to go through the game with it to make sure and make cosmetic changes or fix a bugs if necessary.

So. There are several main factions in the game. These factions have their own unique type of sword in 2 or 4 tiers. Each tier corresponds to the rank of the faction's unit. But in the end, the developers decided to simplify this aspect, and in vanilla, the NPCs of each faction can have the same swords, regardless of their rank. This version of the mod brings the originally conceived diversity.

I also replaced witcher's silver swords of the 1st tier with 2nd tier and a steel sword scabbard. This is done to make the witchers look cooler and more significant, rather than being pathetic bums, as they look in vanilla. They won't have the infamous problem with replaced swords in this mod.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Main version (1. 1)

Replaces the NPC sword models from reduced to normal ones. Thus, with some swords, even the problem of their sticking out of the scabbard will disappear. Or at least make it less noticeable.

I'll make more good and funny demonstration pictures later. 

Compatibility:

  • []Main (1. 1) - with anything. This is not XML. Next Gen and Original Game.[/]

    []Experimental (1. 2) - This is XML. Apart from BiA, I am not aware of other mods that could conflict with this, so compatibility is increased. In any case, use Script Merger to merge files. Next-Gen (Classic?).[/]
