Convincing Greatsword

A mesh replacement for 14 of Skyrim's original greatswords. Designed to maintain realistic proportions and design while retaining the original style.

I've always liked the style of weapons in The Elder Scrolls series. Exotic materials, exquisite designs. Unfortunately, the weapons in Skyrim are very large and have all kinds of weird, unrealistic details.

This mod changes the shape of almost all greatswords from the original game, making them slimmer and removing some quirks in the design. Not necessarily realistic, but believable.

All changes were made with great attention to detail so as not to destroy the original artwork. The texture still looks good, the blood effects still look good

OK, the collision is still correct.
