   Great improvement, but shields remain OP due to the fact any shield allows 100% damage reduction at maxed out skill and they never break which is non emersiveand unrelaisitc considering its histoircly was the the equipment that was replaced most freqently.

      You can set the fatigue and damage reduction using game settings. 
      
      If you run the timed block mod you can also differentiate damage blocked between normal held block and timed block.

      @YungFattin
      
      I assume you're talking about Altar.ini? I couldn't find any settings explicitly related to the damage reduction of blocked attacks. What's it called, exactly? I only found lines to control the fatigue cost of blocking, and the damage for bashing.

      You can also increase the fatigue cost of shield bash, so along with this mod it forces a more restrained approach instead of new-donk-city.

      It's a perk. Get your block skill to 75 then attack while blocking.

   Great, does this mean that it is possible to create a similar mod that does not allow dodging without fatigue?

      That's the way dodge already works without any mods.

      I used dodge with several mods because of the awkward vanilla controls and didn't even think that it was a mod issue.

   What I would really love is a one button shield bash, regardless of shield skill, similar to this mod: One Button Dodge
   
   Do you think it can be done?

   Considering I saw a whole video on completing the game ONLY with shield bash, I am absolutely installing this.
