The Blade of Dibella -------------------- This mod contains only a esp file. So, there are neither assets from Jaysus. Follow installation's instructions carefully to get this legendary weapon in Skyrim SE. ----- Legal ----- JaySus Swords were among my Top 10 Favorite Mods in Oldrim (aka Skyrim Legacy). In addition, it is one of the Top 30 most downloaded Nexus's Mod for Oldrim. Naturally, dozens of players have asked him to convert to Skyrim SE... But i'is impossible to contact him because his PM box is always full. And we find ourselves with an Orphan Works, because Jaysus explicitly stated that his model is under standard copyright (Not Creative Commons licence or Copyleft), have accordingly: • No conversion for other games (Skyrim SE is considered as an other game) • No use of his assets on an external Mod. The impasse seems total, since his Mod doesn't work on Skyrim Special Edition. The cause an unrecognized file BSA and an unconverted esp/esm file. Nonetheless, I have found a way to bypass the legal dead end, allowing me to propose you this mod without infringing Jaysus' copyright. JaySus wrote: - you may create plugins and mods based on this mod as long as your mod stays dependant on mine, - you may use my swords free of charge for your personal use and even implement them on your second life character The solution is to offer you an esp file created with my hands, then invite you to download his original mod (therefore dependence of his), and finally tell you what to make the blade recognized by Skyrim SE. This last step will be performed for your personal use. This mod is intended to be a tribute to JaySus, a sample for Skyrim SE of his fabulous 3D designer skill while we wait (and hope) that the official conversion happens... one day. ;) -------- Features -------- For this tribute, I chose the most popular (and beautiful) weapon among those Jaysus: The Blade of Dibella. I created a esp file from scratch, and I was able to give myself pleasure on the conditions to obtain this Blade. I granted its some really legendary characteristics in order to honor the weapon from a Aedra. Blade of Dibella - Stats ------------------------ • Description (I love RP descriptions for legendary weapons): Fearing by the opposite sex, this legendary dagger would have been forged out of Dibella's own tears. • Damage : 13 (As a dragonbone dagger and as on vanilla mod) • Weight : 4 (As on vanilla mod) • Value : 7000 septims (300 on vanilla mod... It's a legendary weapon, damn it! The value should reflect this.) • Scripted enchantment: Dibella's Wrath => Deals 10 % more damage to opposite sex, stackable with Agent of Dibella. This is counted as a script. So, you can also put your own enchantment on it, and the blade is eligible for the Elemental Fury Shout. • Improvement: 1 Refined Moonstone Of course, such a weapon must be deserved. On the vanilla Mod, this blade was in the Temple of Dibella, then in the Broken Tower Redoubt on the last version... For my part, I did not want to take the risk of modifying a cell, so I was content with a recipe ... but with amusing conditions to can forte it. ;) Blade of Dibella - Recipe ------------------------- # Prerequisites: - Elven Forge Perk (So the blade is in the elven category) - Being under the influence of Dibellal's Blessing - Have the passive ability: Agent of Dibella. This involves completing The Heart of Dibella quest. Without these prerequisites, the Blade will not appear in the Smithing menu. As for the ingredients, it will also have to be looked for. # Ingredients: • 1 Flawless Diamond • 1 Refined Moonstone • 1 Quicksilver Ingot • 1 Grand Soul Gem filled • 1 Dibella Statue (The version that weighs 2 kilos - Good luck, there are only 7 throughout the game.) ;) If you want it right away, you can cheat by entering the code "help dibella" on the console, then "player.additem --- 1", the --- is the ID found for the Blade of Dibella. ------- Install ------- To successfully install, you will need to download: • My esp file here.
