📋 About This Mod
Forceful Bash perk
I'm not sure if this has been done before? Did a search with "Bash" and other words, didn't find anything similar. Sorry if there is.
Description
Branching off from Deadly Bash, Forceful Bash allows you to knock-back someone or something with or without a shield. Even works when bashing with a bow. The prerequisites for the perk is Deadly Bash, and 60 in Block. Have a look at the screenshot., or the vid.
That's all really. All it is is the Werewolf running power attack that knocks targets down, which I just put into perk form.
If you want to cheat the perk, type help forceful. The code is = xx000D62. Where the xx is the number location of where you put the mod in the load order.
There's three versions to choose from.
1: The main file, the knockdown effect is strong and enemies will go flying. Not very realistic but it's there if anyone wants it.
2: Optional version one, the knockdown effect is a lot weaker and I consider this the best one. They get knocked off their feet but is not as strong as the main file.
3: Optional version two, in this version enemies will simply fall to the ground without ever leaving it.
If you want a kicking animation to it instead, have a look at this mod.
SkyRe compatible version by Rudi91 here.
Use NMM, I don't use it but it should work ok. To install manually put the esp. file into the data folder.
To uninstall, move or delete it.
