Girthier More Satisfying Melee Weapons
Have you ever climbed into your suit of power armor, ready for a knight on the town, and thought to yourself: “Man, all the melee weapons in this thing look freaking tiny! Well, except the super sledge but I’m not going to use that because I have basic level of dignity”. Ever found it disappointing that the ripper looks like the rippworst, or Kremvh’s Tooth is more like Kremvh’s Fingernail? Or maybe you just want to have a chainsword while you pretend to be a space marine. God knows I have.
Either way, I have heard your prayers and descended from my heaven of trains and probably more trains, to bring you this mod. Now three, that’s right, THREE whole melee weapons are resized to be more appropriate for a power armor user! That’s almost half the melee weapons in the game!
With this mod installed, the Extended Blade (for the Ripper), the Shishkebab (for the Shishkebab) and Sacrificial Blade (for the machete) are all resized to larger, beefier sizes, perfect for those who are into that kind of thing!
INSTALLATION
Extract the contents of this mod into your data folder, so that there’s a new folder called meshes. Modify your fallout4.ini file so that the “sResourceDataDirsFinal” to have a “Meshes\” tag on the end. It will now read something like ” sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, Textures\, Meshes\”. This will let Fallout 4 acknowledge all the things you wanted it to forget. But Fallout 4 never forgets. Ever.
COMPATIBILITY AND TIPS
This will conflict with anything that modifies those two meshes, though I’m not completely sure there are mods out there that do that yet. Ah well.
This will also not fully animate the extended ripper’s chain or the Shishkebab’s flames! I didn’t try touching that because Fallout 4 animation is a new, scary field filled with stuff I don’t want to touch. It might look funny when you take screenshots. But it’s not like the limited number of people who you show those screenshots off to to validate your existence will notice, right?
I’ve no idea how these look when out of power armor. I don’t particularly care. I haven’t left my power armor in five weeks. Either way, they might look a bit funky.
