📋 About This Mod

This will replace first person parry animation for all melee weapon, onehanded, twohanded and dual wield. Unlike vanilla this mod will make player do 3 variation of parrying moves while blocking, except dual wield. This will enhances the feels that we deflect incoming attack and push it away instead of taking the hit willingly. Also feels like enemy really "chasing" you, not targeting same exact point of player weapon all the time. This mod also change block bash and power bash for onehanded, dual wield and greatsword with stabbing moves, requires Power Bash perk skill tree. Stabbing bash for onehanded and dual wield separated in its own folder because vanilla shared this animation with mace and axe.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,158 endorsements and 33k downloads
- Enhances combat immersion with a more visceral parry feel
- Simple install—just drop the files in your Data folder
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may not be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition or the latest updates
- Only affects first-person view, so third-person players won't see changes
For Skyrim players who spend most of their time in first-person melee combat and want a more satisfying parry animation. If you're a third-person player or use mods that overhaul combat animations, this might conflict or be less noticeable. Skip if you're on Skyrim Special Edition without a conversion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using the original Skyrim (Legendary Edition) or a properly converted version for Special Edition—this mod is from 2018.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can install it manually by extracting the archive into your Data folder, but a mod manager makes it easier to uninstall.
- Test the parry animation with a sword and shield to see the new stabbing bash—it's most noticeable when you block and then attack.
