📋 About This Mod
Overhauls the Wild Hunt warriors to make them feel more cohesive by changing their armors; now it actually looks like they belong together! Lightly armored warriors wield spears and swords while the more armored and higher ranking riders
This mod started out as just a fix to remove all copies of Nithral, the boss from Wandering in the Dark, during The Battle of Kaer Morhen. I thought it was very odd that the only named and unique Wild Hunt warrior would be repeated so many times during the quest's cutscenes and gameplay. This led me to check out the appearances for all the other Wild Hunt warriors that you fight during several points of the game and I found them to be pretty mishmashed and with no real cohesion. My aim with this mod is to give the phantom riders a more unified look while also giving off the vibe that there are different ranks among them; higher ranking warriors will wear more armor and have bigger and more impressive looking helmet decorations! (These are only visual changes, all stats are unchanged so they will still take the same amount of damage regardless of armor)
A huge shoutout to Karkulizin for helping me with understanding how to edit NPC appearances in REDkit! Be sure to check out their awesome NPC overhauls, there's a lot of work that goes into it!
