Some of the best Skyrim mods about are those that put a different spin on the RPG game's combat. Fans have made Skyrim's combat Sekiro-like, more like The Witcher and Dark Souls, and - heck! - even let you craft "choreographed violence" so far. Now, a new mod aims to "enhance your first-person combat experience" with more than 60 new animations that make melee a whole lot meatier.
"It's 2021 and you are supposedly the swolest being [i]n Tamriel but you swing a sword like you have back problems," modder ShoryukenBruh says. "In fact, you swing every weapon like you have back problems. No more. You are a demi-god. Chosen of Akatosh. Dovahkin strong. Dovahkin smash." Their solution? A mod that overhauls your Dragonborn's first-person combat experience, with the result that "weapons will feel chunkier, swords will slice and cut, axes will hack, maces will crush, and daggers will stab".
These animation changes reach across the open-world game's various damage-dealing implements, changing core aspects like the light power, block, bash, idle, equip, and "unique two-hit power attack" animations.
