This mod will add numerous new mechanics to Oblivion's combat, most of which are inspired by games such as Dark Souls, Sekiro, Nioh, and various Skyrim combat mods. Works best if playing in third person, though it is not required. Highly configurable, every feature can be tweaked and/or disabled.
The current version of the mod includes:
( x = optional/disabled by default)
[] Dodging: with i-frames, first person dodging, timed dodges, perfect dodges, NPC dodging, etc.
[] Backstabs: attacks made against enemies that cannot see you deal bonus damage
[] Critical Strikes: global critical strike chance x
[] Hitstop: on-hit time slowdown
[] Poise: count-based stagger system with a cooldown
[] Enemy AI/Creature AI: increased enemy reaction speed, condition-based combat styles, enemy dodging/countering, etc
[] Enemy AI Chase Idles: greatly reduces enemy weapon swinging while running at the player
[] Bashing: reaction-based, staggers enemies out of blocking animation and power attacks
[] Attack Chains: allows you to cancel your current attack and immediately attack again, if timed correctly
[] Attack Cancel: allows you to block/dodge-cancel out of your attacks
[] Attack Cleaving: allows you to hit multiple enemies with weapon attacks
[] Guard Counters: completely original feature, not stolen from a certain game
[] Weapon Clash: simulates the clashing of weapons if two fighters attack at the same time[/si
