📋 About This Mod

Ice skating problem : 1st person style

Skyrim uses the same mechanics in 1st and 3rd person. It results in a mechanic you don't see most modern games : the ice skating combat. You move freely during the attacks, like in a topdown 2D game.

Conventional mods could only limit it. Akin to Starfield and Fallout 4, MCO removes it

Step&Swing : Modern ARPG

In modern ARPGs your attacks are commited. You step and swing. Fun gameplay, better animations.

With its convenient framework for both mod users and makers Attack MCO|DXP has the biggest animation library in the modding scene. It’s powered by “Elder Souls” created by professional animator and ModdingGuild Founder : MikeN1ke

More features

Chainable power attacks, animated charged attacks, animated transitions and non linear movesets are all available in one mod at absolutely no performance cost due to its behavioral nature.

A SkySA to Attack - MCO|DXP converter is available in the downloads

It was such a fun run. Skyrim has been very good to me. I hope it is to you too. Have fun everyone  !  Bye !

And let's not forget. What's boring in Skyrim ? Skyrim. Let's make it another game

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust (1,600 endorsements, 163k downloads)
  • Kills the floaty 'ice skating' feel—combat actually has weight now
  • Streamlined framework means it plays nice with other combat mods

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires a mod manager and likely other dependencies (like MCO framework) to work
  • Combat overhauls can conflict with other animation or combat mods—check your load order
  • Not for purists who want vanilla combat; this changes the feel significantly
🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—manual install is a pain with combat mods.
  • Make sure you have the necessary framework mods (like MCO) installed first, or this won't work.
  • Test on a fresh save or with a new character to avoid conflicts with existing combat mods.
