Dynamic Oblivion Combat

DOC Version 2. 1

This mod improves the game's melee combat system while maintaining the overall balance and feel of Oblivion combat.  It gives combat more dynamism, variety, and depth by adding features to both the player and the opponent's combat mechanics. Opponents will use their new abilities to counter the player's offensive and defensive moves.  Combat style, choice of moves, and strategy become important to victory.
