📋 About This Mod
I move this mod over to Skyrim SE so others dont have to port it themselves. It Works, may not be as smooth as oldrim but it still works and tested it out myself before uploading. Credits go all to lesi123, all I did was port it. make sure you select dg+bd version when a window shows up on mod organizer, I dont think vanilla will work. Hopefully someone here can make a better version in the foreseeabe future.
Description from the original page:
Bleed Them Dry Remade is a complete rebuild of the original mod that implements many features suggested by the Skyrim community over the
years. It is designed to be a combat utility mod that allows all weapon
types and many dangerous creatures to deal long-term bleed damage to
targets. Each weapon type for both you and NPCs are able to be enabled
or disabled as you see fit. Damage values range from 0. 25 to 5 damage
per second while duration values range from 10 to 60 seconds per bleed.
There are thousands of possible setting combinations! To make setup
quicker, you can choose from 7 different presets available on the Extra
Options page in the MCM.
IMPORTANT: Bleed damage stacks! The more bleeds applied to a target, the faster it will lose health.
Even though bleed damage overlaps, each bleed has has it's own timer and
will not refresh any other bleeds currently affecting the target.
The default bleed chance system dictates that not every hit will spill
blood; chances of causing a bleed per attack are determined by the
attacker's relevant weapon skill. The following shows which skill trees
affect which weapons and their bleed chances.
Weapon Skills:
Archery: Bows, Crossbows
One Handed: Daggers, Swords, War Axes, Maces
Two Handed: Greatswords, Battleaxes, Warhammers
Skill Levels:
1-29 = 25% bleed chance
30-59 = 50% bleed chance
60-89 = 75% bleed chance
90-100 = 90% bleed chance
There is an option under each weapon type for both you and NPCs to set your
own bleed chance if you prefer to not use the default system.
You can also enable bleed damage from unarmed combat for select races
through the MCM. This will allow you to deal bleed damage to enemies in
fully unarmed combat if your character is a Khajiit, Argonian, in
Werewolf form, or in Vampire Lord form. Khajiits and Argonians have a
20% hit chance while Werewolves and Vampire Lords have a 50% hit chance.
There is an option to set your own bleed chance for this as well!
Note that there are a few exceptions regarding certain enemies; Undead,
Daedra, Spriggans, Wisps, Ice Wraiths, and Dwarven Automatons are immune
to all bleed damage and related effects.
Bleed Them Dry Remade is a port of lesi123's mod, adding an MCM menu to configure bleed damage mechanics and related combat effects. It's for Skyrim players who want to fine-tune bleed behavior without script edits. With 267 endorsements and 7,278 downloads, it's a niche but proven utility mod.
