Immersive Weapons 1.5

Vanilla Skyrim has a variety of issues. Most would agree that the passage of time has not been kind to it, with a ton of people rightfully pointing out a ton of issues with it. Luckily, Skyrim has one of the largest modding scenes around and a ton of creators have dedicated themselves to fixing the game's many issues. One of them is Immersive Weapons, a mod that fixes the lackluster character creation process of the game.

To install the Immersive Weapons, drag it into the Skyrim Data folder, as well as using LOOT to determine the optimal load order so you don't crash your game constantly, much like most Skyrim mods.

While this does add a ton of different weapons to the game, the main important thing to note is the gameplay changes. Each weapon now has five identifying statistics: Damage, Reach, Speed, Stagger, and Weight. The mod will also section each Weapon into its own category, with each affecting these stats in a different way.
