first the question: could you resize the sword to make it 1 handed and remove the red glow from the dynamo core that extends to the handle and give it a less "glossy" texture with the blade slightly worn looking aka scratched/ chipped and looking like it has seen heavy use
now the review: as a backport of a Skyrim SE 2 handed weaponit is extreamly well done and its nice having SE weapons converted for those that dont like SE. the sword looks visually impressive but the textures are too shiny / glossy, it swings slower than a normal 2 handed sword (same speed as a 2 handed axe) and the hand placement looks wrong due to both hands holding the lower hand grip not the right hand holding the lower grip and the left holding the upper bar that is out of alignment. the blue glass blade makes it look like an Aetherium weapon but the large spiked ball at the top makes no sense and in reality would make the sword extreamly "top heavy" thus being impractical. its more of a "show piece" aka something you make at the end of a quest and put on a display rack not a weapon you would use for combat. if the hand placements were changed and the spiked ball was replaced with another dynamo core it would work better, the option to make a 1 hand version would also make it a more practical weapon and the addition of a more "worn"/ less glossy texture would make it feel more realistic
a nice SE ported "show piece" for anybody that felt the "rewards" for doing the Aetherium forge sub-quest were underwealming but as a practical weapon for fighting the vast enimes of Skyrim it falls short. a respectable 8 out of 10
Thanks for taking time to analyse and critique the mod. Please try to understand that this mod was made by the modder for Skyrim SE and I only have permissions from her to backport the mods for Skyrim LE. Also the Dwemer core by JohnSkyrim is the main speciality of this unique looking weapon so removing the glow would change the visuals. I hope you understand my friend, Happy modding and Good day .
Hello, this mod was made by Kemperer and the folder arrangement was her choice. The sword looks and works fine and I hope you will give it a try in your game .
