Recoil Redefined

Removes some instances of the recoiling animation that plays when someone hits a blocking target (both player and NPC), allowing to chain more combos.

Unlike mods such as Disable Recoil, No Large Recoil, Unblockable or Hellblade, this one leaves the recoil mechanic itself untouched and just uses a really basic trick to make it conditional, depending on a fighter's current stamina.

Intended for a combo-based playstyle with MCO/SkySA/ABR and, most importantly, using Shields of Stamina (or Valhalla Combat once it is released)

Also the mod is 100% script-free, Papyrus-free, SKSE-free, Skyrim Platform-free, MCM-free, behavior file free, Nemesis-free, DAR-free, and even esp space free (it's esl flagged)

WHAT IT DOES

• []your character will only recoil after hitting a blocking enemy when your stamina is low (think, when you don't have the strength left to follow through with the swing). You can also completely turn off player recoiling with this option.

  []The same goes for NPCs, they only recoil when out of stamina

  []NPCs at medium stamina will complete their attack motions and their AI will decide their next move

  []Experimental feature: NPCs at their full stamina that have had their attack blocked will automatically follow up with more consecutive attacks, creating kind of a barrage (this is not an AI change, just a purely mechanical idle tweak)

  CONFIGURATION
  You can adjust the percentages of stamina below which Recoiling is active both for you and NPCs.

  open the ReRe.ini file from the mod directory -> edit the values -> save the file -> type into console:

  bat "rere.ini"

  BENEFITS
  Should make combat more comfortable because you can use your combo attacks more easily. Should make combat more challenging because blocking is more risky.

  The idea of the experimental feature (NPC follow-up attacks at full stamina) is to make blocking with Shield of Stamina more situational, it's safe when the enemy is low on stamina, but when they're full you risk receiving a frenzy of attacks that you need to block, possibly breaking your guard

  Also  this might help you if your combat is suffering from unaggressive enemies (with the follow-up system they should attack more right after you block them)

  COMPATIBILITY
  Incompatible with other mods that disable recoil, obviously.

  The triggering of the follow-up NPC attacks is not 100% reliable, some behavior mods or AI overhauls can probably overwrite it.

  True HUD is pretty much required since you should keep track of your opponents stamina

  Feels pretty good when used with S. C. A. R. (MCO movesets for NPCs)
