LE Less restrictive weapon perks

[Dahveed]

Hello forum!

 

I've always found that on melee characters, it's a trifle annoying that you sometimes have to pick certain perks which only apply to one type of weapon. So for example, I could pick the "10% crit chance" for swords... but then I'm basically either "stuck" using a sword for the rest of the game, or I've just wasted a perk point then next time I find a cool warhammer I want to use.

 

A crafty modder could perhaps fix up the weapon perk trees a bit so that the perks are more of a "blanket" effect for all types of weapons. In my mind the overall effect would have to be reduced so that it wouldn't be too overpowered; so, for example, instead of a sword having a 10% crit chance, your 2h weapons in general would have a 2% chance to crit, regardless of which type. Different, creative things could be done to all such perks for weapon speed, chance to stagger, movement speed, chance to block... well, you get the idea.

 

Generally just make it easier to switch between different weapons without wasting valuable perks.

 

(If something like this already exists, I would love to find it!)

 

Thanks for any help!

That would make the weapons overpowered if you simply take all theperks that add stuff to different weapon-types (and with the mod to all 1H/2H-weapons).

You could try one of the mods that allow you to change Dragon-Souls for perk-points, that way "wasting" a point doesn't hurt that much and you have a use for all the souls you're having. (Searching for "soul" or "soul perk" or something like this should give you some mods)

I know it would be OP, which is why I suggested to drastically reduce the effect (by 500% in fact). It would be a very incremental boost to all weapons instead of a drastic increase to one type of weapon.
