📋 About This Mod

Fixes inability to dodge while looking at an interactable. Optional "One Button Dodge" or "WASD Dodge", 100% disableable in ini. Works with both KB/M and Controller. Boxow likes it when his dodge is not broken, yes?

Description

Boxow has noticed that when he tries to dodge while looking at an NPC or other interactable, he is unable to perform his dodge. This confuses Boxow, as he is often looking at the enemy he is trying to dodge away from, yes? So he makes a mod to fix this. Additionally, there is an optional "One Button" or "WASD Double Tap" dodge all configurable in the ini. Works for both Keyboard/Mouse and Gamepad.

(NorthernUI is not required for Keyboard/Mouse users).

This mod is a comprehensive one-stop-install for all issues related to dodging. This mod fixes all of the issues around interactables blocking one's ability to dodge. This mod is very careful when applying this fix, and does so without introducing unwanted side effects that break things such as being able to yield to an NPC while backpedaling. That particular side effect distresses Boxow, as he prefers friends to enemies, yes?

Simply install the esp file like any other.
