📋 About This Mod
With this mod, you can no longer get staggered or recoiled during combat. You can keep on hitting on enemies with your melee weapons without a care in the world, and without the control of your character being temporarily wrestled away from you.
Affects only the player. Works both in 1st and 3rd person. Requires Oblivion Script Extender.

Known issues:
- Bashing Reworked is not compatible with this mod's main file, since in order to interrupt stagger and recoil, this mod secretly triggers blocking animations for a split second. With Bashing Reworked, this causes unexpected kicking from the player character.
This mod removes recoil and stagger from the player during combat, working in both first and third person. It's a straightforward gameplay tweak for players who want more stable aiming and uninterrupted actions. With 110 endorsements and 2,564 downloads, it has a modest following. Last updated in April 2025.

- If the mod doesn't seem to work, check that you've placed the files in the correct game directory (e.g., Data folder for Bethesda games).

- If you're using a mod manager, make sure to enable the mod after installing it, and check for conflicts with other gameplay overhauls.
