A lightweight combat overhaul focused on NPCs' and monsters' AI improvements and tweaks, replaces the vanilla combat animations.
In vanilla, enemies don't have adequate stamina costs for their attacks and dodges and their blocking and countering mechanics are notoriously weak, also, relative to their weaker counterparts, higher level enemies offer no recognizable difference or challenge with their combat behavior, besides, several combat-related AI bugs exist that diminish immersion; all of the above issues have been addressed.
Generally, more challenging, smart and natural fights should be expected after installing this mod.
- Improved NPC and monster stamina management
- Improved NPC and monster blocking and countering mechanics
- Improved NPC and monster dodging mechanic
- Increased NPC and monster aggression
- NPC combat animations and skills are now commensurate to its equipment and level
- NPC wielding two-handed weapons will no longer approach their enemies slowly
- NPC wielding longswords will now use more combat animations, more appropriately
- NPC archers will no longer run towards their enemies with their ranged weapons drawn
