📋 About This Mod
Details
Everyone has been annoyed by the ice-skating behaivor your character performed when your attacking(usually power attacking) was interrupted by a single bashing from your enemy(vice versa) and then you tried to move aside.
This mod avoids this annoying thing by implementing a relatively easier way -- blocking all the LARGE RECOIL animations which performed by Lydia in the pictures(I'm sure you have seen this ugly behavior before). Because Large Recoil usually performed after your (power) attacking was interrupted by a simple, single bashing, it is also one of the notorious reasons why bashing are so OVER-POWERFUL in vanilla game.
Features
Briefly, this little modification will have several consequences in game-play improvement:
1). Your character will never get large recoiled, thus will never perform the ice-skating behavior usually caused by power attacking interruption.
2). Power attacks won't be interrupted by a single bashing anymore, making power attacks something you must dodge or block.
3). This modifacation will not just affect human-beings, but for all races. You will notice that giants, falmers, bears and many other creatures' power attack will become more lethal and cannot be interruptable simply by pushing a bash button.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 156 endorsements and over 20k downloads.
- Directly addresses annoying combat quirks like ice-skating and overpowered bashing.
- Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul combat, just removes a specific animation.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only removes the large recoil animation; doesn't address other combat balance issues.
- Potential conflicts with other combat mods that alter recoil or stagger animations.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place this mod in your load order after any combat mods that might affect recoil animations.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it through the manager to avoid manual file placement issues.
- Test in a live combat scenario to see the difference; you might need to adjust other combat settings for balance.
