To the people sending me PMs: I have read your messages thanks to email notifications but for some reason I can't access messages here on the nexus. Just so you know I'm not ignoring you on purpose!
Since no-one else seems to be porting these weapons, the aim is to do as many of them as possible. I basically just care about getting them in the game and functioning, things like compatibility with various skeletons, combat rebalances, different sizes etc... can be done by others. The priorities are 1) weapons that I want to use myself 2) weapons of an acceptable visual quality or that are easier to improve visually. Everyone has their own favourites, but as I don't have TW2 installed on my main PC at the moment getting some of the models will have to wait. The next few ports will probably be G'valchir, Stennis and Henselt's swords and Roche's sword.
Very good work, I love this sword =) But I have one problem - I have fast machine, but anyway I'm using medium texture quality in order to play without lags and so on. And in medium texture quality the scabbard turns into something black with many colored dots. The sword is ok. Please make the scabbard be available for medium tex quality I really want to use it )
Are you using Suhio72's "Witcher Swords HD" and/or did you install any of the optional files for this mod? EDIT: I see you downloaded the HD scabbards version. If you installed that without having "Witcher Swords HD" also installed the textures will be wrong.
I've another question: Why is the greatsword so big? Compared to the swords from the 'geralt light armor + witcher swords' mod, the greatsword is considerably bigger and doesn't match the size of the sword in W2. Is it to match the size of vanilla greatswords? And will you consider making a smaller version?
Yes, it's to match it with the vanilla weapons. I did shrink it a bit already from the first version, but if you want it smaller it's pretty easy to do using the scale and scale vertices functions in Nifskope. Remember to shrink the scabbard and blood effects by the same amount. Alternatively, you could change the string "WeaponSword" in the one handed nif to "WeaponBack" and rename it to "Arbitrator 2H.nif". The only issue would be that the in-game reach stat would be too large, but once again that's an easy thing to change.
The sword looks awsome! Will endorse when nexus allows. best of all it works with the back carry xps skeleton. Sceenie uploaded. It is big though. I am looking for smaller swords more fit for lightly built female characters. Thank you for sharing. endorsed PS craft it under mish
I've got two questions: 1) What's the swing speed for the greatsword? (If the speed isn't too low then this will work great alongside other Witcher mods.) 2) Are you going to add a version with the second sword attached to the scabbard's model?
1) Whatever the swing speed of the Daedric Greatsword is. Due to the wide variety of mods and personalised settings people have for stuff like this it's simpler to just stick with vanilla values and let people change it themselves. If that's considered on the slow side let me know and I'll probably change it, because it does look like a faster weapon. 2) Since it's been requested a couple of times I might as well.
I only uploaded shots from nifskope because of bandwidth, even the 5MB main file took a fair while to upload, but I'll see what I can do. It looks pretty much exactly the same in-game, only a bit shinier
Edit: Hastily made in-game shots are up. Not the prettiest but should give an idea of what it looks like.

did you know there are lots of witcher2 swords that aren't portet and really nice too?
I know, here on nexus are some nice witcher swords but not all of them, like the elven or hensels sword
Thank you for sharing.
