For Honor Reforged - First Person Addon

This will not work with Version 2. 0 of Reforged. If first person is your jam and you still want to use this, you can download the legacy version of Reforged.

Completely overhauls first person combat.

Attacks are no longer tied to movement direction, but to key inputs. With correct inputs, you can perform back power attacks while moving sideways, side power attacks while moving forward, and any other combination intentionally.

All mechanics from For Honor Reforged are fully implemented, bringing its high-skill combat system to first person. Fully compatible with all first-person animation mods.

Mechanics

Nothing has changed mechanically from For Honor Reforged. If you are familiar with that system, everything functions the same here. Please refer to that page for detailed breakdowns of values and interactions.

Design

Vanilla Skyrim first person was built around light-attack spam. To support a directional, timing-based combat system, first person had to be fundamentally rebuilt while retaining the same control layout.

Attacks now use directional motion inputs that reset after each swing, similar to a fighting game. This creates deliberate offense, defensive reads, and proper stamina management instead of button mashing.

The result is first-person combat that feels responsive, intentional, and mechanically consistent with the third-person overhaul.

While the default setup works on its own, this was designed with both Keytrace Tweaks files in mind. These changes make Skyrim’s controls feel closer to a fighting game and allow for precise, deliberate move selection. Each attack requires a directional input. First person movements are no longer bound by movement direction, but instead by which key effect is active, meaning you can use back attacks while moving forward or any other combination with correct input.

Advanced controls

["Forward Canceling" is a technique used to perform neutral attacks while moving in any direction. By pressing forward first and then switching to another direction, you will trigger a neutral attack.
