Character Behaviors Enhanced

NEW ACTIONS:

UNDERWATER COMBAT:

Tired of Slaughterfish making you their b*tch? Or simply want to go fishing with a dagger? With this mod installed you can now enter the water with your weapons/magic drawn, draw weapons/magic while underwater (use the sneak key to draw while underwater) and attack/cast/shout while underwater. You can also block or bash too. Bows, crossbows, torches and ritual spells are the exceptions. You also cannot attack with your left hand when underwater.

MIDAIR ATTACK:

Looking to ambush your prey from above? Or need to jump to fire an arrow or cast a fireball over an object or from behind cover? You can now.

MOUNTED CASTING:

Do you find it irritating that you character has no problem handling a battleaxe while on horseback but cannot cast a single spell? Hurl fireballs or summon  your own Daedric battleaxe while mounted. Easily outflank enemy mages while letting them have it from horseback. Note that you can only cast from your right hand.

DUAL WIELD BLOCKING:

Annoyed at being defenceless when dual wielding? Not anymore, Click both mouse buttons (or if using a controller push both left and right triggers) and hold the both buttons to hold the blocking stance. Note that you cannot bash in this state and this action overrides the dual wield attack (the cross attack).

BLOCK WHILE STAGGERING:

While the player can do this in vanilla Skyrim, NPC's cannot, leaving them vunerable to being stagger locked when using mods that stagger an actor on each hit. This should help alleviate the problem. The player now uses the same stagger state as NPC's which now has smoother animation blending.

ATTACK FEINT TO BLOCK:

Have you and your enemy started to attack at the same time? Now attempting to block during this short pre-weapon swing interval will cancel the attack and quickly and smoothly transition to a blocking state, preventing injury.

Looking for responsive dodging with fixed left dodge displacement? Push the sneak key while moving and wielding a weapon or magic to dodge in the direction you're moving. You can also rotate while dodging allowing you to move forward slightly with the left and right dodges.

DELAYED FORWARD POWER ATTACK:

Delay your forward power attack by holding down the attack button, release it when you want to strike. As of 2. 1. 0 you can move in any direction while holding the attack stance. You can also cast with your left hand while in this state!

3RD PERSON ANIMATION ENHANCEMENTS:

PLAYER HEADTRACKING:

Looking for script free player head tracking? It's now a part of this mod. Note that it only works when the player has no weapons or magic ready and it's still a bit inconsistent at the moment.

CORRECT AIMED ATTACKS AND SPELL CASTING:

Notice how in vanilla Skyrim attacks and always "aimed" straight ahead in 3r
