📋 About This Mod
You encounter enemies but have no other choice but to kill them? You want to loot their items but the only option is to pickpocket or kill them to get it? You want to be the good guy? Do you want to turn bandits into followers and create a gang? ... This mod serves that purpose.
When an NPC's health drops below 15% during combat, they will kneel and be unable to do anything for 3 minutes. You can continue attacking to kill them or ask if they want to surrender, depending on their Confidence, they may agree or not (adjustable in MCM). If they surrender, you can demand something from them.
If an NPC surrenders, they will no longer attack you, but they may still become hostile towards you when encountering you later.
If during combat, your attack deals damage that exceeds 15% of the target's remaining health, they will die instantly as usual. Therefore, if you intend to spare them, be gentle, lmao.
If an NPC surrenders and you turn them into a follower, they will have the ability to betray and attack you when you are low on health.
The MCM configurations include:
In general, the titles of these describe their functionality, so no further explanation is needed. NPCs have their own Confidence by default in the game, and you can change the percentage chance of them agreeing to surrender.
Requirement

For Modders
In general, I highly encourage everyone to create mods with additional dialogues and new demands for NPCs when they have surrendered. Essentially, the functionality of NPC surrender has already been handled, so now it's just about adding dialogue mods with requests. This signific

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 913 endorsements and over 44k downloads.
- Adds a fresh diplomatic layer to combat—no more mandatory kill-or-be-killed.
- MCM support means you can tweak the system to fit your playstyle.
⚠️ Cons
- Potential compatibility issues with other combat or follower mods that alter enemy AI.
- May not work as intended with mods that overhaul enemy behavior or add new enemy types.
- Requires SkyUI and MCM, which some players avoid.
For Skyrim players who want more roleplay options in combat, especially those who enjoy sparing enemies or building a follower army. If you're a pure hack-and-slash player, this might not change your game much.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SkyUI installed and MCM working before you start—this mod relies on it for configuration.
- Try it on a bandit camp first to see how the surrender mechanic feels in real combat.
- If you use other combat mods, test for conflicts early to avoid weird AI behavior.
