✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 201 endorsements and over 60k downloads
  • Brings Dark Souls 3-style enemy behavior to Skyrim, making combat more dynamic
  • Specifically designed for SCAR 2.0, so it integrates with that framework

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires SCAR 2.0 and likely other dependencies (like MCO) to work, which adds setup complexity
  • Only affects Cathedral Knight Greatsword enemies, so it's a narrow niche
  • Potential compatibility issues with other animation mods that alter the same enemies
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want more challenging and reactive enemy combat, especially those who enjoy Dark Souls-inspired mechanics. If you're already using SCAR 2.0 and MCO, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer vanilla combat or don't want to deal with animation framework dependencies.
