You have to configure them yourself or download premade ones iirc, I’m new to these custom animation combo mods as well so I’m still learning.

BDOR Armor sets by Kirax, it's free on their patreon

Not that I know of, sorry

I use chocolate poise

wait is the mod supposed to show up on nemesis too?

@@zouraizkhan2467yes, if it adds new animations it should show up there

this is the preset I currently use nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/85183

fr ima need that

Surablade mco moveset

I use the ZeusCam Preset, you can find it on nexus

Because vanilla combat consists of just spam-clicking and occasionally opening the inventory to consume 500 wheels of cheese

Also, personal preference

Agreed. I'm trying to look for a combat overhaul, but it all looks goofy. As a an actual fencer, i absolutely despise these dumb Dark Souls/Elden Ring-looking animations. I kinda like the Smooth Animations, though. Or whatever the mod is called. Looks clean.

It's just preference, you can make something similar to vanilla but more modernized.

Only chads get mods that make skyrim combat like dark messiah 👀 Not some gross souls rip off 🤢

Take a look at the video's description, adxp is not available on the nexus, but on a different website

Yes

Yes

Does anyone know if there’s a way to mitigate this through value changes?

Nah conduit and its affects are pretty cool and I like that you need to actually infuse it using a spell

@@-JimmyRustle- yeah, but at the cost of needing the spell equipped on the left hand and the effects don't depend on the equipped spell. If you have either Flames or Fireball equipped on the left hand, the effects are the same. You only get different effects if the element is different or if you have Restoration equipped instead of Destruction. In any case you'd be better off casting the spell anyway.

If you don’t mind me asking is what is your mcm settings for Valhalla.

@@abyss8551 I don't know, I removed it. I know I fiddled with it a lot before making that choice. The issue is you can parry them and get an opening and the enemy can't do it to you. Just makes the game too easy once you get parry timing down.

@Cruor34 I don't know if you will read all this, but that can be regulated by having different combat animations play for different conditions if you're worried about timing. For example, if you have to use a complete mco moveset like Nordic or Imperium. You have 11 different potential movesets factoring in dual wield movesets. (Not counting shield movesets because they are kinda scarce). If you use OAR, you can have Nordic moveset only play on, for example, on heavy armor characters, while imperium plays on light armor. Or you can have certain animation sets play only for certain races to give more diversity, making it different every time so you don't get used to the timing immediately. Or have different moveset be unlocked via certain health conditions or based on skill level. It's a lot you can do with OAR to regulate this issue. Certain MCO/BFCO movesets are faster, so you can pick a choose what fits best for your experience. Of course, you can only have a certain amount of movesets be accessed by npcs because there's only so much you can do with the current amount of movesets available with a cohesive system you thought in place. With just the most basic option of using armor conditions movesets. You can have up to 33 total animation sets in the game. Which I personally think for most modded playthroughs would suffice. As far as parrying as a mechanic itself. I feel that it should be inherently a player only action. Skyrim's engine is still limited even with the amazing mods out there. Not to mention, there are other ways for Npc's to compensate for it with a few mods installed. Even in games where enemies can parry like Dark Souls and Sekiro. Enemies go into a stance or only parry after certain specific actions. The carian knight before Rennala's boss only uses parry during certain actions. For the most part, at least, another example would be Sir Alonne. I think trying to replicate npc's parrying would involve lots of scripts or is just simply too difficult to do at the moment. Npc's benefit from the difficulty setting along with having an absurd pool of Hp, Stam, Mag, etc. A long with the added benefit of enemy groups and certain npc's being immune to certain effects. Especially in modded skyrim, because the mods I currently have installed sometimes make this game enjoyable but also a living nightmare. I have ultimate npc dodging that has a module in the modpage that distributes dodging to every humanoid npc based on classes. Not counting draugr and such. Also, look up Mathieuthedunmer. Don't know if it's Matthew or Mathieu. Either way, he makes mods that use condition sets to have varied animations. One of his most notable mods is his Ebony Warrior mod that triggers a different animation set when the Ebony Warrior he hits exactly or below 50% threshold. You can try Hellblade timed block or Blade and blunt. But in terms of things that make enemies challenging outside of that, I can't recall. Mathieu/Matthew also has a guide on how to set these up conditions on his modpage. I think they could help you give your game a little more nuance and add difficulty with different parry windows. There are some gripes I have with Valhalla, but I don't think the parry system is one of them. I'm strongly against the projectile deflect mechanic in the mod because it seems cartoony. With the setting, I play on 0.05 Perfect Parry and 0.15 (0.10 if I feel like going crazy timed parry. Fighting groups of enemies is rough for me, and even when I hit a perfect party, I have to disrupt my tempo to parry the other enemy as well. This gets more apparent with the OAR thing I was talking about. Not to mention them dodging aswell makes fighting a lot more dangerous and unforgiving. In terms of 1v1 scenarios, I can understand where you're coming from, even with the 50% HP condition. If you have been playing like this for a good while on a playthrough, it can be a bit much. But me personally, I don't think the majority of people who play with this low of setting are going to get off a perfect parry half the time, especially in group based scenarios. Missing timed blocks with also have me stamina broken into a knocked state. So I feel it's a good balance mostly. That's just my consensus and advice. I don't know if you still use Vallhalla, but I just felt like you're discrediting Val a bit much. Combat mods are only a foundation. They play a huge role, but I don't think they're a deciding factor for how difficult combat is. Hope this information helped, though.

I'd recommend valvalis combat, which is a combo tweak of Valhalla, precision and valravn. Been using it for a while and I really enjoy it!
