📋 About This Mod

Warning: this mod contains excessive violence and gore. Introduction: This mod’s main goal is to give a new more spectacular look to Skyrim’s combat, without intervention into basic game-play balance. No tricks like damage, skills, perks or AI modification. Only visual ice-cream on the cake. More intensity, realism and new feeling while fighting. Make NPCs die in various ways depending on the cause of the death. Feel the power in your weapon: dismember, decapitate, eviscerate. Spill blood of your enemies, make them scream out of pain, spread their intestines and brains all over the place. Burn them to charred corps, freeze into ice block and smash in pieces. Cause terrible wounds, convulsions, head explosion or carbonization with lightning. All this is present in this mod. Enjoy. SmQfPzoxRrA How it works : The chance of the mutilation is configurable through MCM menu, yet there are certain limitations and conditions to fill. All depend from weapon you carry and movement you execute. Moving power attack: - Sword, axe, dagger, mace, war hammer –> cut off arm - Great sword, great axe –> cut in half horizontally - Werewolf –> everything is possible Stand power attack: - Sword, axe, dagger, great sword, great axe –> eviscerate vertically - mace, war hammer –> eviscerate vertically or/and crush head - Werewolf –> everything is possible Normal attack: - Any melee weapon –> cut off arm Moving and standing attack detection system is not yet 100% certain. You may trigger moving power attack effect when execute standing power attack and inverse. However it works correctly in most cases. It takes a little second for script to realize that actor is not moving. Enchanted weapons will diminish a bit your chances to trigger mutilation. Because enchantment can kill the actor before physical damage and prevent script executing. Any actor equipped with matching weapon can cause gory death. But player must be near. Magic is not affected by random chance and works all the time if possible. Other useful information and functionality: - Works for all NPCs of all humanoid races except old people, children, essential and protected. - Player is immunised to all kind of effects(for being too buggy) - Cut in half, evisceration and dismemberment may occur only on NPCs wearing one of the supported armors such as:Fur, Elven, Forsworn, Hide, Studded, Imperial, Iron, Stormcloaks and guards armors, Necromancer and Warlock robes. - Some of the effects can stack and replace one each other. - Bodies cut in half or smashed in pieces can not be reanimated. - Head crush works on any character - To work properly Thalmor robe was split. Hood and robe can be worn separately. [
