Project Reforged Approval - Some discussion on what it will entail?
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2019 4:22 pm
After just seeing this suggestion get approved, I thought it might be nice to have some discussion on what "partial content" entails.
What I'd really like to see from it is for some/all the reworked weapon models (or at least the ones that significantly change the weapon appearances) to be added as additional appearance types, rather than replacements. I've never liked the reforged rapiers, in particular. I know they're some people's style, especially because they make rapiers actually look like rapiers to some degree, but I've always thought the NWN rapiers fit much better to the general look of NWN, and give the rapiers a very cool saber-like appearance, rather than looking like a 16th century civilian weapon. Not that people who want theirs to look like rapiers shouldn't be able to have them, but I'd be very disappointed to see the current options disappear.
Additionally, the colors of the solid project reforged weapons are, IIRC, very bold. The gold weapons are very gold. The black ones are very black. Again, this probably works well for some people's concepts, but they always struck me as too much, and I personally removed the override because the weapon colors seemed outlandish to me.
So, TL;DR - Can Project Reforged weapon alternative models and colors be added as additions (when they aren't a simple 1-1 upgrade of the match weapon model), as opposed to as replacements?
