The new designs for the weapons are based onĮstablished lore for either the weapon itself or the character wielding it, my own ideas have been mixed in too.ĭoes not work with previous stand alone releases.
Unique Uniques is an on going project that aims to fix this and give the unique weapons a unique appearance.
