No tackles. No autolock. Only duel (1v1) fights. ALL OPTIONAL.

The most annoying thing about KCD is not even target system, but those infamous "tackles", when enemies (using jedi force) constantly tackle/turn/spin your character, camera goes nuts (and you get headache). You not only lose control over your character, but also take unavoidable damage through all the way it goes. (see video)

This mod eliminates tackle mechanic from the game. It comes with 3 versions:

1) Skyrim-like gameplay (for people, who dont like target system): no tackles, no auto lock, and because enemies can't target/duel you - they also can't dodge/block/parry your attacks (totally not intentional, its just works this way (c) Todd Howard). To partially balance this, i decreased delay between enemy attacks. Btw you still can block their attacks with your shield, but without "green icon" it's much harder. You can check such gameplay in attached video.

PS: If you play Skyrim-like version, don't forget to disable mod, if you do any combat practice quest (like with Bernard or that in the beginning).

2) For people, who actually like target combat, but also want it to be more enjoyable/fair/casual, this "Easy Combat" version includes: no tackles, enemies can't perform master strikes, enemies dodge/block/parry way less often, enemies can't perform combo attacks (these hard to block series of strikes) and YOU can easy perform master strikes yourself (time window is bigger, so most of your perfect blocks will be master strikes). You can check such gameplay in attached video.

3) For people, who also like target combat, but HATE GROUP FIGHTS in this game, when you are autolocked on 1 enemy and all other enemies just hit you in the back. This version includes previous Easy Combat (see above) but also splits all group fights into duels (1v1 fights). If there is a group of enemies - only 1 npc will try to duel you, others will either use bows (if they have any) or just watch. As soon as you win duel - next npc will engage. You can still choose who you want to attack by yourself if needed. You can check such gameplay in attached video.

There are also few optional downloads:

1) The version which only removes tackle mechanic, and nothing else.

2) The version with just no tackles and only duels.

3) An optional set of changes which includes:

- Trainers now sell you x5 expirience but for x5 money. In vanilla they only teach you (in level experience) 0->1, 5->6, 10->11, 15->16. With this mod: 0->5, 5->10, 10->15, 15->20). So now you can master any skill you don't want to level manually (if you have money).

- All scribes now sell ALL skill books (so you don't have to steal or else to get one).

- All traders have 50k money by default.

- Henry's Beta Die is not so Beta anymore. It now has (in % per side): 40,5,5,5,40,5.

- In harcore mode eating from communal pots of food only provides nourishment without reducing huge amount of energy (nourishment value is already nerfed in hardcore).

- Repair kits now have unlimited capacity and can repair even broken items.

- Alchemy perks Routine 1 and 2 can be learned at any level (the ASMR alchemy is great, but not on 100's playthrough).

- Your dog (Mutt) will not decrease moral without interaction and will boost it's morale greatly if you feed or pet him.

- Warhorse Jenda is now a brown horse with black hair Link.
