Just an idea I'm working on : dual wield 2h

[Deleted2838758User]

This will be a mod that enhance Skyrim's customization by adding three new gamestyles :

2h + Magic

2h + 2h/1h

2h + Shield

 

How ?

This mod will change EVERY two handed weapon in the game into a one handed weapon while still leveling and benefitting from Two Handed skill

The mod will detect what you are wielding and changes animations/grant attack speed penalties :

2h weapon + free hand : you'll use both hands to swing the weapon, this is identical to skyrim's 2h

2h weapon + spell : You can either swing your weapon with 2h or you can cast spell. Not both at same time like 1h + spell.

2h + 2h : You'll use each hand to swing a 2h weapon, causing an attack speed penalty, increased stamina consumption on power attacks and increased chance to stagger

2h + shield : same as above

 

 

Thoughts ?

Bumping this, and the mod is progressing, most of vanilla's 2H have been changed.

I also applied a 50% attack speed if the character is wielding anything else than a spell in his left hand with a 2h in right hand, and changed animations.

But I'm not sure 50% attack speed is balanced enough, should I add something else ?

you can block with the 2h + free hand? Without needing a mod like dual wield parry?

Yes just like you can with 1h + free hand

well thats cool.

have you considered implementing the mod witb SkyProc? It'd probably be quicker more compatible than editing records by hand.

Absolutely no idea how Skyproc works.

Also, It's not like it require that much to edit weapon, only to change 100~ weapons from BothHands to EitherHands and then change the animations, it's almost done, I just need to find time to open the PC due to my exams right now :/

It's still the difference between doing it in 5 minutes or doing it in a few hours,

Not to mention a skyproc version would also be compatible with other mods, not just with Vanilla Skyrim.

I'm not sure if SkyProc has the two options you're looking for though, but I can ask leviathan if He can add those options.

 

or maybe you can bug Mator and he can make a script that runs on TES5edit.

Actually, manually doing it only take 5 minutes because you only need to modify, for example, Iron greatsword and all enchanted versions of Iron Greatsword will be changed so it is still quickly done.

It's not they I don't want to use Skyproc, it's that I have no idea how to use it.

Hi Sabrio.

 

You're right, your work isn't that bad just for editing two handed weapons in Skyrim.esm, Dawnguard.esm, and Dragonborn.esm. But have you ever considered the fact that a lot of people use mods that add two handed weapons to the game that they might want to use in this fashion?

 

A good solution to this would be, in my opinion, a TES5Edit script. You could loop through all weapons, look at one two handed ones, change them from bothhands to eitherhands, and change the animations in... I'd say about 100 lines of code. I could write it in an hour, if you'd like.

That sounds tempting but I'm not sure what a 'TES5Edit script' means. It's a kind of script that works on TES5Edit ? I am a bit confused
