About this mod
I love playing DRK and recently found out that you can swap old, skill animations for current skills. I have overhauled animations and vfx to my liking and figured others might like it too.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
The mod changes some of the skills animations and effects that I felt were quite lacking in their original form. With the revelation that I could change animations as well, I've changed some animations with the old skill animations that I felt were cooler. I have also made revisions to the sound effects for skills that I felt lacked impact. This is a list of skills that were changed:
Hard Slash - HardDeliriumSlash
Syphon Strike - SyphonScourge
SoulEater (vfx)
Delirium - DarkDelirium
Bloodspiller (vfx)
Unleash (vfx)
Quietus (sound effect)
Edge of Shadow (vfx)
Flood of Shadow - FloodofShadowbringer
Shadowbringer - ShadowPassenger
Dark Mind - DarkShadowskin
Abyssal Drain (vfx)
Salted Earth (vfx)
Carve and Spit (vfx)
Any skills with a name change has a change of animations as well.

Things to note:
Maulclaw has mentioned that the animation swaps may not work 100% on lalafells, male roegadyn, and hrothgar. I have not tested the mod on these races so this may still be the case.
