📋 About This Mod
FOR HONOR IN SKYRIM - OROCHI
KATANA MOVESET FOR NPCs
With Smooth's permission, I adapted and patched his Orochi moveset to SCAR.
As usual, the moveset was EXTREMELY simplified for NPC use.
There are no restrictions on which NPCs can use the moveset, but you can limit them by
downloading the optional condition file or tweaking the conditions yourself in OAR.
A BFCO conversion was made, which can also be used by the player, but don’t be mistaken— it follows the same
simplifications made for the NPC version. So don’t expect Original For Honor
features like directional attacks, follow-ups, and parries.

If you use MCO and want to use the moveset on your character, then download the Original For Honor in Skyrim.
As always, credits to Smooth for the amazing animation!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 127 endorsements and over 43k downloads.
- Brings a polished, recognizable moveset from a AAA game into Skyrim.
- Specifically patched for SCAR and BFCO, so it's ready for modern combat setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SCAR and BFCO frameworks, so it's not for vanilla players.

- Compatibility with other animation mods could be a concern—check your load order.
For Skyrim players who've built a combat overhaul setup with SCAR and BFCO and want NPCs to wield katanas with style. Skip if you're playing vanilla or want the moveset for your own character.
