- - -  Other changes  - - -

Manticore is changed to light armor.

The relic crossbow sold by Hattori and the Blood and Wine "serpent" relic swords have been removed from the game, as I used their models for the Viper weapons.








- - -  Changes from original  - - -

The Cos Wiecej dependency has been removed, and Zost was kind enough to let me lexar his Sihil model. The Manticore gear now replaces the HOS Viper gear instead.

The base Viper quest has been improved on a technical level and some of the text has been rewritten.

The bugs reported on the original mod's page have been fixed.
