You're not the first to comment that and I'm a bit confused where it is coming from.

Jacob does not kill Esau in the Bible. In fact, Jacob dies before Esau. Everyone in this thread seems to be confusing Jacob and Esau with Cain and Abel.

Esau is seen as "godless" because he sold his birthright to his brother (Jacob) in exchange for food (Red Stew).

since Jacob kills Esau wouldn't it be the inverse since he's a murderer

Still working for me on the latest Repentance patch. I have not tested this mod with other mods, perhaps there is a conflict.

The flying isn't working on Jacob for me

nice mode, feel balanced and mor eimportantly make those two less infuriating to play
as other said a neat change would be swapping the wings around

Tradeoff is veeery good , thank you for this mod:steamhappy:

Agreed, I think it'd be neat to have Jacob have fleshy wings and Esau have feathery ones. That said, thanks for the mod!

I feel like the angel and devil cosmetics should be the other way around, considering Jacob is the murderer and Esau is the victim. :P

That being said, amazing mod and makes them actually worth playing. Thank you.

Love that someone decided to make changes to these characters but I'd rather just be able to kill off Esau.

Like it says in the book, we are blessed and cursed.
(Also great mod)
