About this mod

Swaps the models of the top tier daggers into that of the Arisen's Bond (Smallest in game item I could find) to make it look like you are punching and kicking instead of slicing and kicking.

Swaps the models of the top tier daggers into that of the Arisen's Bond (Smallest in game item I could find) to make it look like you are punching and kicking instead of slicing and kicking. (Changes Helmbarte Daggers, Sapfire Daggers and Famae Blades)

Came up with this idea while making invisible Magick Bows and realized that the daggers' animations look quite a lot like unarmed fighting. I made it mostly for my personal use as it's not perfect (there are minuscule rings floating near your hips if the weapons are sheathed) but figured that somebody out there might want it.

There most likely is to make the ring's textures transparent (or the daggers' for that matter) but I don't feel like messing with texture files for now, I might if it starts bothering me too much or people are really interested in it.

Also your punches leave swooshes a few inches in front of them (you are so strong your punches break the sound barrier or something :P) and some skills look a bit weird, Snakebite and Masterful kill on small targets most of all (Masterful kill on bosses is an epic uppercut though, pros and cons i guess), lastly punches still make slashing noises, I might try to find the sound files some day, but then it also might ruin sword sounds so probably not.

Check out this similar mod that makes daggers invisible (sort of) to make it look like unarmed combat:
