Doesn't seem to work with OpenMW 0.47 for me at least. In data folder, enabled Spears use Strength in the launcher. Governing attribute still says endurance.
Yeah plus there are very few skills which level endurance, spear is one of the very few, so it's a very bad idea to remove it, there are already more than what's needed for strength ! (was very useful in my last playthrough with an archer, he had a low endurance, and the spear which had spear+10 and night eye 15 as a constant effect was very useful for that !).
I agree. spear is the weapon of choice for low level character because if levels endurance and grants bigger health pool later. I run with spear till my endurance hits 100. but then it can be viewed as exploit (if it has to be hard to train endurance).
this mod still can be useful for RP purposes I guess. if someone wants to gimp their char.
Have you ever had to hold a long pole with a metal tip at a distance from your body for a period of time while poking and chopping with it? Like a metal rake or snow shovel. That requires more endurance than might to accomplish. It's the difference between swinging a heavy stick around then letting it rest at your side, and holding it away from you for several minutes while you "punch" and lift it around repeatedly. Each requires some sort of strength, but the latter is more tiring.
I appreciate your entry, just offering a possible logic to Bethesda's choices. This is neat, though. I haven't seen many mods that alter weapon classes.
