So I don't think this is intended but this mod also boosts the damage of arrows in general. For example a lot of bandits are getting one shotted when their friends accidentally shoot them, normally a single shot wouldn't be enough to kill them. Also standard arrows that hit geralt seem to do more damage. I'm not sure if that can be changed but a solution might be to add a 10x damage version.
Outstanding mod as well as the Block Whenever you want! Do you think you could produce a mod like Combat Distance Initiation Fix or update it? It was a mod that increased the distance that combat would trigger which also really helps when defending against archers.
Yes I am sure, I used it before, "This mod allows Geralt to block/deflect arrows whenever the left trigger is pressed with a sword in hand, Also allows Geralt to parry human sized monster attacks" (from the mod discription)
You basically hold the block button and when the arrow hits you it is auto redirected at whomever is shooting at you, there is no need to time it either, just hold and it bounces off into the guy who is shooting, I also used it with this mod, and it worked in a perfect symbiosis, usually it was an instant kill, or almost instant depending on the difficulty level, it also works great against any monster that throws stuff, like the waterHag and the gargyoles. That mod has another great use, you can block and counter attack nekkers and other monsters, as well as heavy weapons, but not massive monster attacks, which is great, that would make Geralt too overpowered. This mod and that other mod perfectly complement each other, making Geralt much more skilled, and that is why I asked if you can mod that one to Next Gen also.
Used to work in the previous version 100% of the time, i remember killing archers that way without the need to engage them. I used to be able to update mods, and then manually merge them....but it has been many years since I done that, forgot how to do it now, sadly, the new patch is the only reason I came back.
Thanks bud, Ill report later on when I get a chance to test it. Thanks a lot.
Edit: Ok, the reflected arrows work perfect as it did before, but the timing is still needed to reflect them, which means that the second mod is not working how it should, I still need more testing on blocking two handed weapons, but so far it seems to work....report later.
Edit 2: So it seems that the second mod works how it was intended to work, I might have mixed it up with another mod.....you can dodge and block whenever you want but you still need to time it right to reflect the arrows, but the positive is that all human and all human size monster heavy attacks are now possible to block and parry, which is great because it is not too Op as bigger monsters still have to be dodged.....thank you very much btw....I will keep searching for the auto reflect, I am sure I used it in the past....just forgot the name. Endorsed and Kudos as promised.
PS: Just a quick question bud....are you versed enough in modding to actually make him auto time arrow deflection ? seems it would need a script to do that....by having him now able to block anytime we would be half way there.
Ok, "Auto Parry Reflect and Counterattack" merged without any issues it was only one auto merge, however...there is a problem, here are the lines....nothing was out of ordinary either....no manual merging was needed....did you use an old 1.32 r4Player.ws by any chance ? that could be the issue.

Here is a link to forced counterattack and auto block for next gen, try to modify that if you used old r4player.ws to include auto arrow deflection https://drive.google.com/file/d/19hfDbpueSbBxERLWVO12fEQDAcvapfBk/view?usp=share_link
BTW....I would change the name of your heading to something like "Powerful Reflected Arrows and other Tweaks" You will get lot more endorsements and you bloody deserve them. Trust me when I tell you, yes it makes Geralt into the swordman he was always meant to be, but not invincible, i got my arse kicked few times coz they can still get your from behind, no auto block and parry when someone stabs you in the back, especially on modded Death March, 2-3 hits and you're dead. Makes the game more interesting too, because now it is all about positioning and less about worrying about stupid stuff like blocking or the peski archers. I remember having a blast when I played with these mods in 1.31, and I am having a blast once more, thank you and God bless.

Ok here it is https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/1080/
I was wrong actually, you still need to have to block pressed to auto reflect but no need to time it perfectly....sorry, it has been a while.

Did not test it though since I personally have no need for that mod. But tell me if it works then it could be published for all.
Got any other links ?
Thanks a lot.

Will need script mergers but, there you go. Just a heads up it will make you nigh invincible.
Enjoy! :)
