📋 About This Mod

QMdRpacP8A0

This project began with the thought :

“How fun would it be to adventure in the open world of Skyrim using For Honor's combat?”

I started with little skill, but after several reworks, I was able to bring it to this point. I believe it was all possible thanks to the support and encouragement from so many friends.

Thank you all.

For Honor’s combat is specialized for 1:1 fights, so it may not fit perfectly with Skyrim,

but I’ve done my best to adapt the movesets to match Skyrim’s style and

redesigned the combat system to provide a fresh experience.

The most important thing to me in combat was ease of control.

With simple controls, you can automatically perform dodge, counter, and follow-up attacks.

Movesets by supported weapon combinations

Parry Attack

When using a normal attack while moving backward, it perfectly blocks the enemy’s attack.

If you succeed in a parry with precise timing, it completely blocks all damage and partially restores stamina.

It then transitions into a parry attack that knocks the enemy back.

This feature may not work properly if you’re using other stagger or poise mods.

Shield Parry Attack

Shield parry has a longer block window compared to regular parry.

When you successfully parry an enemy’s attack with a shield,

it automatically triggers a parry attack as a counter.

This feature may not work properly if you’re using other stagger or poise mods.

Back Power Attack

When performing a power attack while moving backward,

it bypasses the enemy's guard and delivers a powerful blow that knocks them back.

This feature may not work properly if you’re using other stagger or poise mods.

Follow-Up Attack

After performing an attack that knocks the enemy back,

quickly using a power attack will trigger a follow-up attack.

This feature may not work properly if you’re using other stagger or poise mods.

Left / Right Dodge, Attack (Options)

This is a left and right dodge and attack mechanic.

When moving left or right and using a normal
