📋 About This Mod
Features
This mod allows a fully charged Unrelenting Force shout to dismember and tear apart enemies. This can be a lore-friendly, gameplay-wise balanced addition, - or a full blown gore party, and anything in between.
The mod comes with a short (and optional) quest where you first need to learn this power from Ulfric in order to be able to use it. If you want the power instantly and you don't want to play the quest, you can disable it in the mod menu.
Alternatively, you can also choose to have to unlock Dragonborn Force in order to learn the mod's power.
The mod is fully configurable in the mod menu. The conditions for dismemberment can depend on the enemy NPC health, level compared to the player, distance from the player, random chance, and more (such as requiring a sneak attack, allowing the NPC to block the attack, etc.). You can also specify which limbs you want to allow to be dismembered, the min and max number of them to be torn off in one shout, etc.
There is a detailed article on how the mod calculates and scales the success chance with various adjustable parameters: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/10250
The out-of-the-box default settings are tuned for a moderately balanced mechanic.
The demo video shows the mod with all settings unlocked:

The plugin is ESP-FE, meaning it won't count towards the regular esp plugin limit.
Requirements
Dismembering Framework and its asset packs
powerofthree's Papyrus Extender
Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID)
All are in essence hard requirements.
The plugin was made with the latest Creation Kit, you might need Backported Extended ESL Support if you are on an older game version.
Compatibility
Should be mostly compatible with anything.
Works with any game version (as long as the requirements are set up).
This mod completely supersedes my Shout Their Heads Off mod. Use one or the other, but not both. All functionalities of Shout Their Heads Off are preserved in this mod, you should use this one.
Installation
Recommended way: with a mod manager download
Manual way: unpack the contents of the file to your Skyrim\Data folder

It is not safe to uninstall this mod

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 322 endorsements and 14,220 downloads.
- Highly configurable – you can dial in exactly how gory or balanced you want it.
- Optional quest adds a lore-friendly way to learn the power, or skip it for instant access.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a stack of mods (SKSE64, Dismembering Framework, Papyrus Extender, SPID, SkyUI) – not a drop-in install.
- Potential compatibility issues with other shout overhauls or mods that alter Unrelenting Force.
- If you're on an older game version, you might need Backported Extended ESL Support, which adds extra setup.
For Skyrim players who want to add visceral dismemberment to their shouts without breaking balance – or go full gore if that's your thing. If you're a modding veteran comfortable with dependency-heavy setups, this is a must-try. Skip if you prefer simple, standalone mods or don't want to fiddle with multiple requirements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have all required mods installed and load order sorted – use a mod manager like MO2 to keep track.
- If you're on an older Skyrim version, grab Backported Extended ESL Support to avoid plugin issues.
- Test the shout on a saved game before starting a new playthrough to tweak the dismemberment settings to your liking.
