[Errors, Bugs and Issues]

1 - This is not a 'play tested and balanced final build' mod, rather it's a quick and dirty assembly of ideas. If you find some errors or wish to make suggestions feel free.

2 - Both the Ji and Naganita are not held in the 'middle' of the staff. This can cause a playbalance issue (Ji Halberd vs Mjonlir would be a pain...). A real modeler is needed to fix this.

3 - The SIG and M4 guns, when used by the Player, do not shoot from the right place (it's hard to notice in 1st person). A real modeler is needed to fix this.

4 - I haven't found a way to fully enable dismamberment (like slicing heads off in Dragon Remix) without having to use console commands. I'm workin' on it.


[Legal Disclamer]

1 - In no way am I suggesting that I sigularly created any of the skins or models. Knowing me I probably forgot someone. If you see elemets of you own work in this MOD that has nto been credited let me know ASAP and I'll provide due credit.

2 - I don't plan to take credit for this MOD, rather I just want to push for more SP MODs.

3 - Fell free to use any aspect of this MOD, but know full well that it's based on other people's work. Contact me for credit questions.
