Sword of Truth - Modder's Resource



So I was watching the TV Series "Legend of the Seeker" and decided to recreate it for Oblivion. Since I couldn't find many Hi-res reference pictures of the original, I had to use a little creative freedom on the textures. Personally, I think it came out quite close to the original though
The included esp is fully playable, but the Sword itself is not in any way overpowered or enchanted. The Runes on the Blade have a glowmap attached, meaning they'll glow bright orange in the dark.

This is intended as a modder's resource and can be used freely in your mod as long as credits are given.

enjoy

That's a nice looking sword you got there...

Sharp edges... cutting... blood so red... flesh parting....

Yup, very nice

Now just needs that distinctive Sword of Truth unsheathing sound jk, very nice looking sword.

That would be cool (btw, the books are amazing), but you can't assign individual sheathing sounds to weapons. At least not directly, but perhaps via a script I could imagine it being possible. Although the Sword itself is finished, I'll be making an update soon with the finished scabbard. I just made a quick job of it without any detail whatsoever. I think a sword like this deserves a much more detailed scabbard. I was also wondering if the glow effect could be called upon via a script (for specific races for example), but since I wouldn't know how to do that, maybe someone else could help?

I do have proc effect scripts that I'll be attaching to the Sands of Destiny version of the Sword. This version will also be part of a quest.
