📋 About This Mod
I made another mod with the feature there and an execution system. You can check it there:
Rim Parry and Execution
Want to try a different style of vanilla largest stagger animations? Like the mods that can parry your enemy and force them into largest stagger state ( like Elden Parry)? That is why I make these largest stagger animations.
These animations are inspired by the parry stagger in Elden Ring. And have two version that can replace the vanilla animations or individually triggered.
Include six largest stagger animations in total. See Preview there ( it may take a while to load gif):

✅ Pros
- Huge download count (126k) shows this mod is widely used and trusted.

- The Elden Ring-style parry animations add a satisfying, visceral feel to combat.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Open Animation Replacer (OAR) to work, so you'll need to grab that dependency first.
- Since it's animation-based, it might conflict with other mods that alter stagger or combat animations.
- Last updated in July 2023, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other recent animation mods.
For Skyrim players who want more dramatic and stylish stagger animations, especially those who enjoy Elden Ring's combat feel. If you're tired of the vanilla stagger and want NPCs to react like they've been parried, this is for you. Skip if you prefer realistic or minimal animation changes.
