This mod was made at a time where SKSE was not available for Special Edition.
Since it's release, Dual Wield Blocking from Oldrim has been made available on Special Edition, and this mod is now obsolete.


Features:

• AttackCancel.esp : Allows you to cancel normal (not powerattacks) melee swings before they connect using the "Sheathe Weapons" key, like you can do with bows.
• Dual Wield Blocking.esp : Allows you to block with the R key if you aren't attacking and aren't sneaking (Sneak and use R to sheathe your weapons). Like the original Dual Wield Parrying mod, this doesn't work if you have a staff, spell, bow or crossbow in your right hand.
• Dual Wield Blocking - Optional Attack Canceling.esp: Combine the two other plugins 
  

Also include animation files that replaces the broken dual wield blocking idle with the torch's animation instead.

Installation:

Just install the desired plugin. Load order doesn't matter.

Compatibility:

Mostly compatible with every mod available, unless they change the exact same thing (which means you don't need this mod).

Current Issues:

Activating any object that forces you to sheath weapons (Enchanting table, Forge, etc...) while your weapons are unsheathed causes you to block. This is only a minor issue and you'll simply have to sneak and manually sheathe your weapon before using these objects.
