- NOTE on Skyrim Special Edition versions of my mods:
- I do not plan to update my mods to work with Skyrim Special Edition (SSE) any time soon myself, because I do not expect to have the time for that (just like I haven't had the time or interest to read comments and update any mods for the past few years already).
I do, under the following conditions, give others permission to update my mods to work with any SSE version (PC and/or consoles):
- Please send me a PM on the nexus forums first, describing which of my mods you are planning to upgrade, for which versions of SSE, and await my response before uploading. If you have done any Skyrim modding that involves scripts before, please also include links to that. In case there are multiple people interested in upgrading the same mod, I'd prefer the most qualified (in terms of experience) person to do so, instead of having multiple people racing to be the first to upload the same mod.
- You must clearly mention my name in order to give me credit for the work I have done developing the original version of the mod
- You must clearly mention that I am not responsible for supporting, updating, or otherwise commenting on the SSE version of the mod. I will not have time to do that in an adequate manner.
- If I ever do find the free time and the interest to actively start working with these mods again, I reserve the right to upload my own versions of these mods using the same (or similar) names. It would also be nice if you give me access to the files of your version of the mod, and/or the page where you uploaded it.

Dual Wield Parrying by Borgut1337 is a combat mod for Skyrim that enables dual-wielding characters to parry and block incoming attacks. With over 34,000 endorsements and nearly a million downloads, it's a highly popular quality-of-life improvement for melee-focused players. Last updated in 2013, it remains a staple for those who want more defensive options in dual-wield combat.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 34k endorsements and nearly a million downloads — clearly fills a real gap.
- Simple, focused feature: adds parry/block to dual wielding without overhauling combat.
- Still relevant years later, proving its staying power in the modding scene.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only adds parry/block; doesn't address other dual-wield limitations like power attack speed.
For Skyrim players who love dual-wielding but hate being unable to block. If you're a melee purist who wants more defensive options without a full combat overhaul, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer magic or archery — this is purely for dual-wield melee builds.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition — you may need to port it or find an updated version.
- Load order matters: place it after other combat mods to ensure your parry animations aren't overwritten.
- Test with a dual-wield character early to see if the parry timing feels right for your playstyle.
