📋 About This Mod
You MAY NOT use my mods in paywalled modlists. Already I've seen some 'modlist authors' doing this and I strictly do not condone this. Modlists and load orders should not be hidden behind patreon subscriptions.
Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE contains VOLUME SLIDERS for magic, weapons and other categories. If you do not like the volume, I highly suggest you install this as it is compatible with Immersive Sounds instead of leaving comments about your ears being hurt. It will spare both you and I a headache.
Bleeding Edge is a crisp, visceral rework of bladed weapon impacts and swing effects!
Natively compatible with Immersive Sounds - Compendium and vanilla sound setups out the box, Bleeding Edge turns your favourite bladed weapons into vicious killing machines. Metallic swing accents for all weapons make every battle into a cacophony of steel and impact effects for every supported Immersive Sounds material descriptor make even your terrain collisions feel impactful.
Available for Xbox users with the wonderful port made by StergioValente, go check out his bethesda net profile and more!

If you use Audio Overhaul for Skyrim SE: Check out the optional files as I've added a new Skypatch for AOS's dagger impacts in the optional files.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Dynamic Impacts by Goshbrindal pairs PERFECTLY with my sound effects. Make sure to use the AOS-ISC version for my recommended setup.
