📋 About This Mod
Solthas' Combat Modpack!
Deepen your combat and movement experience with rewarding and punishing stat changes depending on how you're moving when you start your attack, how long you charge it, how you're moving when you release it, and how long you wait before your next attack. Use staves as a spellcaster. Prep stealth attacks as an assassin. Save up your fatigue, and dodge enemy attacks, because they'll hit you harder, and healing is weaker. Use air dashes and swim boosts to improve how you get around the world, but watch your fatigue! Running out at the wrong time can be very painful.

OpenMW 0. 48+. Certain modules are better on OpenMW 0. 49+.
This is the final compilation of my input-based stat modifier combat mods for OpenMW 0. 48+ Lua. It is what I have been working towards this entire time. Make combat more strategic, by getting buffs depending on what directional attacks you use, how you time your attacks, how long you charge your attacks, and how you are moving when you release them. Dodge "rolls"! Staves for spellcasters! Extra heavy super charged sneak attacks, extra strong for stealth-specialist weapon users.
Every component is individually balanced by tradeoffs, but if you use them right you will be much stronger. So combat as a whole is balanced by "Lose More Health". +100 difficulty too easy for you? Now you can lose more health! Everything too easy for you? Permanently reduce all of your stats by 20%!
Every component mod is individually fully configurable and toggleable. Set them up so that they feel balanced and impactful for you. Decide whether marksman should count for the combat mods or not. I have it default to allow for heavy draw (weighty charge parry), bu

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 363 endorsements and over 65k downloads—clearly a go-to for OpenMW combat overhauls.
- Pre-configured setup means you don't have to fiddle with compatibility patches or load orders—just install and play.
- Full modular control: toggle each feature on or off and tweak settings in-game via Script Settings, so you can tailor it to your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires OpenMW Lua scripting support—if you're on vanilla Morrowind or an older OpenMW build, this won't work.
- Last updated May 2025—could be outdated if OpenMW's Lua API changes, though it's recent enough for now.
For OpenMW players who want a modern, Souls-like combat feel with dodges and timed attacks, without the hassle of configuring multiple mods. Perfect if you're already using Lua mods and want a cohesive combat overhaul. Skip if you prefer vanilla combat or play on non-Lua OpenMW versions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're running a recent OpenMW build with Lua scripting enabled—check your version in the launcher before installing.
- Use the Script Settings menu in-game to tweak each feature; start with defaults to get a feel for the combat changes.
- If you're new to OpenMW modding, use a mod manager like OpenMW Mod Organizer to keep track of this pack and avoid conflicts.
