Soul Reaver and Wraith Reaver from The Legacy of Kain series


This is my first public mod figured I would give back to the community. I got tired of waiting for someone to make a wraith blade version of the Soul Reaver so I decided to make one myself.

OBSE Wraith Quest Redux

OBSE version with dual Reavers for Tycho's Shield On Back, also features less scripting without loss of effect. File has two esp's only use one or make an OMOD and import conversion data. Added optional esp Reaver glow (10 light) glows only when Wraith Reaver is out, if you use glow esp please use the blue light spell recolor in the recommended files. See Image for details
Location: Underpall Cave, See image for details
***Not really a quest, weapons and gear are in the cave***
When you pick up the Soul Reaver from the alter you will get the Wraith Reaver and an off-hand version of the Soul Reaver (Wraith Reaver is flagged as a quest item to drop it just drop the Soul Reaver, both weapons have 0 weight)

Required Files: (You need all of these)

Oblivion Script Extender

Tychos Shield On Back Revived

Addon for Shield on Back v31

Recommended Files: (Optional)

Light Spell Recolor
or
Light Spell Recolor OMOD
use Blue if you use Wraith Reaver with glow (If you use All Natural load this after, if you have Wrye Bash this esp can be merged into the bash patch.) ((author needs permission to use and I could not get in touch with them nor could I find the light in the CS or this would be in the mod already))

No persistant enchantment glow fix
so off hand Soul Reaver stops glowing from enchantments

Compatibility: If you have Jojjo's New Frostmourne installed (with dark blue/purple fire torch textures) you do not need to overwrite his files as nothing is changed or added.





OLD VERSIONS

Wraith Reaver Quest:(made by request)

Just Wraith Reaver, Raziel's Claws, and Scarf. No soul revaer in this version. New enchantments frost damage, and soul trap.
Location: Underpall Cave, See image for details
***Not really a quest, weapons and gear are in the cave***
(Uses weapon swap script and is not compatible with Tycho's Shield On Back)

Soul Reaver/Wraith Reaver V2

Added frost damage to the Wraith Reaver, made an invisible sheath, removed the blade, and optimized the mesh with PyFFI. Also changed the paths so if your updating, delete the previous version and you may want to make a "clean save" to be safe.
(Uses weapon swap script and is not compatible with Tycho's Shield On Back)

V.2 should be compatible with the other Soul Reaver mods.
Please PM me if you find any conflicts and I will try to fix them.

Location: Skingrad Fighters Guild on the second floor across from a cupboard in a chest

How to change Reaver forms: once you pick up the Soul Reaver you will get a spell added to your spell list called swap Soul Reaver cast this to switch between Soul Reaver and Wraith Blade


**Optional**

Alternate mesh for the Soul Reaver for users who want the skull facing the player.

Raziel's scarf and claws and Soul Reaver.
Scarf has tail and amulet slot versions, Scarf looks better on Roberts male body (highly suggested) Prototype claws are clothes or light armor and have wrapped and unwrapped versions (no enchantments) NOTE: Claws are a prototype and not yet finished.Female version of wrapped claws designed for HGEC, Male version designed for Roberts body.


This mod adds the Soul Reaver and a spell to toggle to the Wraith Blade. Any ideas for stats for both weapons are welcome as I didn't really focus on that as I was concentrating on the overall look of the Wraith Blade. I am hoping for any modders with the skills to make this mod better.


Known issues:

Wraith Blade may cause a frame rate hit, works fine on my PC and my friends without issue.(if you want the wraith blade to look like screencap if 3rd person you may need to run on ultra high with sliderbars maxed) thanx madd_6233
Gauntlets on the male version has a few holes at the time in certain positions (use unwrapped versions if you have long sleeves or armor on)
Wraith Reaver was made for default animations so if you use a replacer there will be clipping. (not a big deal)

Installation:


Place all files in your Oblivion Data folder or make an OMOD
If you have Jojjo's New Frostmourne installed (with dark blue/purple fire torch textures) you do not need to overwrite his files as nothing is changed or added.
