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?

i went from watching a cake tutorial to watching bumblebee get absolutely destroyed by a cast iron

[waffleguy]

The game without mods is fun but with mods is a blast

[Fart_Jar]

the way you introduced modding with hank and the light sabers was absolute gold

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.

I will say, being able to Judgement Cut eight enemies at once as Vergil with the Yamato all while a true to game dynamic version of Bury the Light plays in the background is the closest thing we'll get to DMC in VR.

why is this video the perfect way describe mods in blade and sorcery? and its so emotional too lmao

[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.

[MrHestolemyname]

Definitely the main thing that bothers me about modding BS is the patches that break a lot mods then having to wait and see if your favourite mods get updates to the latest patch.

[OG_Angarato]

First video I've ever watched of yours, and I gotta say you have genuine comedic skill. Will be subscribing and can't wait To see more. Keep it up G

[creamimochi]

Nomad is for like fighting and going berserk while normal B&S is just the better version but more about torture

[Hunter_Kennedy]

I love showing people this game that have never played it before or have barely ever played VR. Especially when I have mods going like the Thor mod or outer rim.

[matt]

This guy’s physical and contextual humor is top notch. Subscribed.

[AllTheOthers]

I was already an experienced sword fighter when I started playing, so I was pretty good to start off and had a blast.

[RandomDude]

i found out about the modding scene for this game through a clip of the spiderman mod that lets you swing around environments. that one seems like it'd be the most fun to play around with by far

[halonator]

One of the best examples out there, why supporting the modding community of games so soo good

[democraticrepublicofvaloria]

When I first loaded into the game and had no idea what to do, my first fight adrenaline was running through me, but fun.

[countertask]

5:03 It gets more unfair when you have THE Yamato from the DMC series. Your enemies will be stricken with fear but you will be heavily motivated.

[SHRINKLEANGRINKLES]

I don’t know why, but hearing this guy say “I’ve got your friend’s legs!” Is one of the most funny things I’ve ever heard.

[NLT]

120 mods? Yeah that sounds about right. My mods folder has about that many mods. 5 minutes of loading time. Fun.
