Blade & Sorcery: Before and After Mods

Blade and Sorcery is possibly the best sword fighting game available in VR right now. The combat is responsive. The fighting can be intense. The violence is... confronting... However, what if you could take that sword and magic experience and jump into the arena with powers of a Super Sayian? Or, perhaps you'd like to soar through the skies holding Thor's hammer? There are so many mods available right now, so I thought it would be a great time to jump in and see how crazy things can get.
What follows is me checking out Blade & Sorcery with my Valve Index headset, firstly with absolutely no mods installed, and then with a large assortment of mods installed through Vortex/Nexus mods.

Game Info (From the Steam Store):
The era of the VR weightless, wiggle-sword combat is over. Blade & Sorcery is a medieval fantasy sandbox like no other, focusing on melee, ranged and magic combat that fully utilizes a unique and realistic physics driven interaction and combat system.
Built exclusively for VR, collisions are dictated by fine hitboxes, objects have weight and follow the laws of physics, creatures have full body physics and presence, and blades can be used to penetrate soft materials or deflect magic.
In Blade & Sorcery, the combat is limited only by your own creativity. Choose your weapon, choose your stance, choose your fighting style; Be the powerful warrior, ranger or sorcerer you always dreamed of becoming!

Which weapon/avatar/map combo would you want to see in the game in future?

[@wonder_platypus8337]

Mine is already satisfied. I've got about 2 dozen mods that change all but the UI into Assassin's Creed 1. It's absolutely beautiful. The only thing I can't do is turn off telekinesis because that disables the hidden blade actions.

[@Exilir8]

@@wonder_platypus8337 Tools of the Trade (TOTT) is a mod for blade and sorcery that adds a few hidden blades. from what you're saying, I'm guessing you're aware it exists. It's genuinely my favourite mod now that I can use Connor's hidden dagger/blade from AC3

[@wonder_platypus8337]

@@Exilir8 Yep. Those were the blades I was talking about. Using mods to turn off telekinesis breaks them though which is a bummer. Wish I had to physically pick up dropped weapons and didn't accidentally use the force on stuff.

Here's some more stuff about this game that I'd like to mention as a B&S veteran, who has really only played the game with mods; *There is a mod that allows you to change your character's size, and there's another which lets you change the size of npcs, objects, and weapons. *There is an armor mechanic in the game, where you can equip pieces of armor, ranging from thin cloth shirts to suits of metal armor which are nearly impervious to arrows and most weapons that aren't blunt weapons, and there are tons of mods that add in new pieces of armor as well. *There are mods that add in/fundamentally change game mechanics, and there's even one which is a (heavy W.I.P) Star Wars total-conversion mod, that, from what I've seen, seeks to turn the game into a Star Wars quest-based dungeon crawler *The developers have added in a procedurally generated rogue-like dungeon crawler game mode, which I think he touched on a bit, and they're going to expand it much more with the next couple updates. In its current state, however, it has trouble with some mods, and can break due to some mods, so play it modded at your risk. *There's also gore mods, which is another thing entirely, some adding in very visceral, gore-y gore (organs, tons of blood, you can tear the skin off of your opponents), and others adding in new combat mechanics (broken bones, specific levels of damage depending on where you hit the enemy instead of any form of impalement instantly killing them, a bleeding-out and unconsciousness mechanic) *This game is insanely fun, but it makes you question whether or not you are a sadistic person at times. As a veteran of this amazing game, I can comfortably say; you are a sadistic person if you find fun in this game, and you are objectively evil.

[@TheTechDweller]

The point about that feeling you get after killing someone in this game has only happened this pronounced in a game for me before. GTA V, on release, the NPCs were so realistic (though still stylized and over exaggerated) in thier movements, running up and punching an NPC in GTA V gave me that reaction as if some part of me felt I had done that to a real person. VR turns that feeling up to 11.

[@RemisVancosid]

Tell me what to do if I downloaded a lot of mods and only 20% of them work

[@RemisVancosid]

Short answer: use what works, disable/delete what doesn't. Long answer: go through the mods that don't work and investigate if the reason they aren't working is because you are playing on a different version of the game that they have been updated to (i.e. you're using U11 mods on U12, or Nomad on PC Blade & Sorcery). Sometimes these mods update, or have older versions available so you might be able to track down compatible versions with what you are playing. Other times you might just need to find some other mods to fill in the gap. Another possibility is that the mod is incompatible with other specific mods. If this is the case, it'd usually mention it on the page. Good luck

[@RemisVancosid]

I guess there could be a couple of things at play here. Are the mods for the version of Blade And Sorcery you are playing? For example are you loading a PCVR only mod on Nomad, or are you loading a U9 mod on U11.3. The versioning of mods is sometimes sketchy at best, so if you can double check the descriptions on nexus to see it meets the version you are playing. If it doesn't say the version it's compatible with, has a last updated of early 2022, and you are trying to play the latest version of the game: that mod might be out of date and incompatible. Are you using a mod manager or are you doing it manually? If possible, rely on a mod manager to do the lifting, just in case there's some extra configuration junk required in the background. Hope you get the mods working! Good luck!
