It would be cool to get this from the institue somehow too, like maybe from Janet Thompson in Advanced Systems gives to you when you do the quest to go meet everyone and they're all "you're gonna need this/you should have this from now on". WOuld be cool from an immersion stand point imo and makes sense the super duper science people you're suddenly a grandma to would want to protect you now you showed up
The development of shield framework mod is frozen AFAIK and any amount of asking around gets the usual bs response about leave him alone he is at university. The idea behind this mod with armors that actually block weapon impacts up to a certain damage threshold is amazing and yet nobody is working on it. I just use wasteland energy shields mod with the fix mod as well. That mod works sometimes and sometimes not but better than waiting for someone to graduate from college or whatever.
i like the idea, but not so much how it blocks your view lol. there have been other shield mods as well, i wish this game would allow you to hold a shield in your left hand like skyrim, but no bethesda says to the player, your left hand only has one function, zooming into things lol.
like they couldn't do it for pistols at least? like i understand the reason for two handed weapons, but for one handed weapons it's this limited nonsense where the player can't block an attack with some kind of shield in the other hand, this is why bethesda focuses on making the player a hit sponge in each game they release, then they use the same jank blocking animation from this game in starfield, or parry is what it is, and nobody would ever parry that way, it's not only stupid looking but that would not work in any fight lol.
I agree with you. This is my first mod, that I made for a university project. Now that I've learned a bit more about texturing, I'm definitely gonna go back and fix up the appearance as I agree it's too difficult to see through.
alternatively if you can make the shield a lot more see through, like how the ward spells look in skyrim maybe a little more clear to see better, than it might be worthwhile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xC9DXr2KHw
