About this mod
Rework for the Nightingale Set (Bow/Blade/Armor) to suit Archers. BONUS! Fixed "silented" nightingale bow.
- Permissions and credits
Greetings!
I realize there's a lot of reworks for the Nightingale Set out there but none of them suited my needs. They either overpowered the Set as a whole or disabled the levelling of the items in order to make them work or they had wrong stats for an archer.
Also most of these reworks didn't bother fixing the detection sound level. (Was normal before, should be silent for an assassin bow)
What has been altered?
Nightingale Bow; Level 1 to 4 - Enchantment altered to Frost/Soultrap, Basic Damage slightly reduced, Critical Damage slightly increased
Nightingale Bow; Level 5 - Enchantment altered to Frost/Soultrap, Basic Damage slightly reduced, Passive Perk "Trick Shot" added, chance to disarm hit target. Critical Damage slightly increased.
Nightingale Blade; Level 1 to 4 - Altered back to Vanilla Stats
Nightingale Blade; Level 5 - Altered back to Vanilla Stats, Crit Damage increased to 20
Nightingale Hood - Enchantment changed to Marksman (12-20) & Speechcraft Fortify (10-20)
Nightingale Cuirass - Vanilla Enchantment
Nightingale Boots - Vanilla Enchantment
Nightingale Gloves - Enchantment changed to Marksman (8-13) & Lockpicking (15-25)
(Bonus) Nightweavers Band - Enchantment changed to fortify Sneak & Lockpick
(Bonus) Sound Detection of the bow (Level 1-5) has been lowered to "Silent". As it should be.
Concerns:
- But oh Kryo! You have reduced the basic damage of Nightingale Bow! Do not like!
- Yes, yes. BUT! +% in Archery and the increased critical damage makes up for it more than enough. This way you will do aprox. 25-30% more damage while Sneak Attacking. Also don't forget that you will have a "silented" bow now. This way I feel the risk/reward portion of beeing a silent hunter/ranger/assassin is increased without risking to "underpower" the weapon. (Tested thoroughly betwen level 5 and level 30 in multiple playthroughs)
- I play with ultra-high difficulty and I have downloaded fiddyseven mods to increase said difficulty. Will Karliah die with the altered bow? She doesn't profit from your enchantments after all!
- The NPC Versions of the Bow and Armor are unaltered. Karliah will have Vanilla Stats. If she dies/faints every 2 seconds its not my fault!
- I want the same textures as you in your screenshots!
- Check below at recommended mods. Texture Addons have been linked.
Installation
Easiest way is to use NMM.
Else simply drop the .ESP into your Skyrim/Data folder.
Recommended Mods:
(Not needed but recommended to boost play expirience)
Nightingale Pride (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33704/) - Bow and Blade Reincarnation (ReTex of the Bow and Blade. Looks super awesome!)
Nightingale Hi-res Retex with Torn Scarf and Variants (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3765/) (Retex of the Nightingale Armor, looks sweet as hell!)
Problems with other mods?
Aside from mods that attempt to alter any of the above mentioned items should be okay. Remember! Only addons that attempt to alter the Stats of said items might cause problems. Retex addons should not cause any problems at all!
