Tainted Jacob’s Birthright Makes Dark Esau Friendly
Implements a Birthright effect for Tainted Jacob that makes Dark Esau friendly upon collection.
I also changed the Birthright’s description for Jacob to reflect this.
–UPDATE 8/15/2021–
Dark Esau will now continue to target Jacob after the item’s collection. He will still do no damage to you on contact, but now in order to make use of Dark Esau’s attack power on enemies, you will need to stragically position yourself so that your target is between yourself and Dark Esau as he charges. You can still use Anima Sola on enemies to make positioning yourself occansionally easier.
Designer’s Note:
A big complaint with this mod is that the Birthright effect was overpowered. A big gripe I had with the mod was that the Birthright effect removed all agency from the player as they could easily let Dark Esau do all attacking while they mainly dodged and hid. I decided to kill two birds with one stone and make Dark Esau continue to target the player, keeping player interactivity high, as poor use can still easily get you killed.
