NPC Blocking Enhanced

A collection of mods assemble together and tweaked to make the infinite NPC blocking a rare occurence (you can't get rid of it totally sadly).

What this mod do

• []Tweaks the mod NPC Infinite Block Fix to make the NPCs block even less

  []Tweaks the mod NPC Infinite Block Fix - SkyPatched to make the NPCs release the block sooner

  []Tweaks the mod NPC No Block - Exhaustion to make NPCs unable to block if their stamina is under 50%

  []Modifying other base game parameters to make blocking more punishing

  Despite all these tweaks, NPCs will still block, especially if they wield shield, but at least as little as possible

  Install all the requirements like this:

  

  This mod will conflict with Valravn, Fanatical Enemies, Vokrinator Black, Valvalis and Awakened Combat AI, but the only thing you have to do is let this plugin overwrites them all. They all modifies some blocking behaviour by changing some Global Game settings, but it can negates or mitigates some of the work this mod intends to do do.

  Simply put this plugin after all of them and you're good to go

  If you are using the GSO version of NPC Infinite Block Fix (not matter which one) you have to download the GSO version in the optional files instead of the normal one
