📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 614 endorsements and 34k downloads

- Lightweight animation mod that doesn't overhaul the whole combat system
⚠️ Cons

- Potential conflicts with other animation mods that touch the same slots
For Skyrim players who love Dark Souls' deliberate combat and want that feel in their dual-wield builds. If you're tired of the vanilla flurry and want more weighty, telegraphed swings, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a complete combat overhaul or play mostly with one-handed or two-handed weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install this with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- If you use other animation mods, check their load order to ensure Elder Souls takes priority for dual-wield animations.
- Test the animations in a low-stakes fight first to see if the timing feels right for your playstyle.
