LE Blades as Daggers

[Pluto91]

Hey guys,

 

I have always been more fond of the Stealth / Assassin type of a character, however something about the Skyrim Atmosphere always calls into my Inner Viking (I'm Icelandic) I just can't get myself to play stealth in the Skyrim World.

 

However i'd like to give it a try, and the problem is I have never in any RP game liked using Daggers, in Oblivion I was a Master at sneak and all that with my awesome Akaviri blade. But, there are perks to using Daggers in Skyrim that I would really much like to use, but I can't shake off my dislike of Daggers.

 

I was wondering if there was some way to just make copies of each Sword ingame with same stats and everything but just change the type from "Sword" to "Dagger" so it will be recognized by the game as a Dagger but Visually you will have a Sword.

 

I tried doing this the easy way by just changing the type in CS but the sword..I mean "dagger" becomes invisible, except when I dual wield, then my left one becomes visible only in Third Person.

 

Is there any way to do this?

 

All help appreciated :)

maybe an easier way to achieve what you want, is to modify the perks to also effect 1 handed swords? it would be than less work, plus you wouldn't be messing with changing the types of the weapons.

 

I've seen visual glitches when changing a 2 handed sword into a 1 handed and such, so maybe the perk adjustment would fulfill your desire without impacting the stability of your weapons.

 

In CK, perks are located under Actors. Find the one called "Assassinsblade" (that's the only perk i can remember off top of my head that only effects daggers), open it up, click on the Perk entry in the table at the bottom (it says something about modifying sneak attack). Now you get a new window, under conditions click the weapon tab.

 

Where is says has keyword, i want you to right-click it and choose duplicate. click on the 1st of the 2 conditions now. there's a box that's unchecked that says OR, click it so its checked. hit ok. then open the 2nd condition, click keyword:weaptypedagger, you get a drop down box, find weaptypesword (you can repeat this for as many weapon types you want, i suppose its realistic to expect to do a lot of damage if you clocked someone in the head with a mallet when they weren't expecting it as well as stabbing them), make sure to check the OR box in this one too. Hit ok.

 

now you should have 2 conditions 1 being for daggers the other for swords, both should say OR at the far right. (incidentally, you see the number 2.50, you can change that here to either make these sneak attacks do more or less damage as you want) close that window by hitting ok. now your back to the perk window, feel free to update the description if you care to (you can even change the name of the perk to Assassin's Strike if you added in mallets too, just don't change the ID). Hit OK.

 

Repeat on any other dagger perk, as i said i could only remember assassin's blade off the top of my head.

Save your work. load up the game, get the perk and go sneak attack someone with a sword.

 

go shank someone with your swords and enjoy.
