📋 About This Mod
2dn0N5pe6rk
This will replace first person parry animation for all melee weapon, onehanded, twohanded and dual wield. Unlike vanilla this mod will make player do 3 variation of parrying moves while blocking, except dual wield. This will enhances the feels that we deflect incoming attack and push it away instead of taking the hit willingly. Also feels like enemy really "chasing" you, not targeting same exact point of player weapon all the time. This mod also change block bash and power bash for onehanded, dual wield and greatsword with stabbing moves, requires Power Bash perk skill tree. Stabbing bash for onehanded and dual wield separated in its own folder because vanilla shared this animation with mace and axe.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,196 endorsements and over 330k downloads
- Simple, focused improvement to first-person combat feel
- Works across all melee weapon types
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 – may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Only affects first-person view; third-person players won't see any changes
For Skyrim SE players who primarily play in first-person and want more visceral parry and bash animations. If you're a third-person player or prefer gameplay overhauls, this isn't for you – it's purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install – it's a simple drag-and-drop.
- If you're on Skyrim SE, make sure your game is updated to a version compatible with mods from 2018; check the mod's comments for any patches.
- Test the animation in combat with a sword and shield to see the new parry and bash in action.
