📋 About This Mod
Disables the Master Strike ability for the player and all NPCs (alternatively just for NPCs). Now you can actually perform offensive moves like feints and combos without being countered every single time. There is also a mod.cfg file included which allows you to change how fighting larger groups of enemies work (game needs to run in devmode for it to work).
The mod can be safely enabled or disabled at any time and is compatible with all game versions.
Don't ask Captain Bernard to teach you Master Strike while the mod is active! The game will get stuck or crash.
