📋 About This Mod
Allow you to backstab and parry like Dark Souls.
This is the SE conversion of migeandend's mod for Oldrim. You can find it, along with preview videos and a more detailed description, here:

This mod allows you to backstab and parry like Dark Souls, with detailed MCM settings.
Backstab: When you stand behind someone and attack with melee weapon, it will
play a backstab animation and do a huge damage to this one.
Parry: When someone heavy-attacks you, your successful bash can activate a short
slow-time effect. During this time your attack will be changed to
a counterattack animation and also do a huge damage. You can let it work
with normal attack in MCM.
This mod only effects on human NPCs, because FNIS doesn't allow us play a killmove animation to a monster without an instantly killing.
The NPCs can use backstab if you turn on the switch in MCM.
Requirements
SKYUI: In order to use the MCM menu.
FNIS: Please run it after installing Critical Hit.
