Simple Beheading - NG

Simple Beheading enhances the combat experience in Skyrim by expanding upon the existing decapitation mechanic.

While decapitation is already possible in the base game under specific circumstances (killmoves), this mod introduces a refined system where regular and power strikes aimed at the head can trigger this event when an actor's health drops to zero.

Additionally, the mod provides customizable options to adjust the probability and conditions of decapitation to suit your preferences.
