LE In the face with a shovel

[Zombull]

I'm currently playing through Skyrim for the first time and I find my character in an unfortunate and frustrating situation. I'll attempt to avoid spoilers, but beware!

 

My Nord wields two-handed weapons. His skills with one-hand weapons and magic are negligible. Now he finds himself in a situation where he only has one handed weapons available and if he tries to use them to fight his way out of his situation, he falls quickly. This is frustrating because while only one handed weapons are available there IS a shovel sitting right there that he should be able to pick up and use to splatter his enemies' brains. But alas, a shovel is not considered a weapon.

 

So my mod request is this: Replace the existing shovel in the game with one that can be wielded as a two handed blunt weapon. Same animations as a hammer would be appropriate. Let my Nord pick up that shovel and be the badass he can be.

 

Is this even possible without the official mod tools?

Perfect, Necromancy 101: Class One - You and your Shovel ;)

It should be possible. We can get meshes and texture out of the game, and we can get custom ones in. We just get it out, get the pivot right and it should work.

 

Take it with a grain of salt though, as I am in total denial about modding before I get my toolset. Why make it harder for me, when I can just wait? ;)

 

Cheers,

Matth

Just check Steam's workshop. There's a mod there which turns all objects that would make a possible weapon, into weapons. Whether it's embalming tools, a shovel, a scythe, a fork or a blacksmith's hammer. :) It does what you request. Maybe it's even on Nexus too. Edited February 29, 2012 by Saratje
