📋 About This Mod
Changes how most of the Bashing work, NPC bashing have been completely overhauled to be more telegraphed instead of being too
fast to give room to dodge or parry without the use of scripts.
Players also get different types of bashing depending on equipped item, not
just a visual change but the movement and the speed of the bash now
varies to give variety on the approach of certain weapons
The mod completely utilizes the Animation Motion Revolution for each animation to have their own motion data stored inside, this means DAR/OAR can be used to replace the bashing animations if you want better ones.
(yes I copied and pasted the original description)
Requirements:
- Nemesis/Pandora
- OAR (recommended) or DAR
1. Install mod.
2. Run behaviour engine, ensure patch is ticked.
3. Launch behaviour engine (update first if Nemesis)
Not compatible with the old Vanguard mod. Safe to update mid save.
Yes, I got permission to reupload this. Proof:
Will I be updating this? Probably, I want to update the animations to take advantage of OAR, as well as give the behaviour a touch up. To what extent I go depends on how much free time I have and how motivated I am (please don't ask me for an ETA as this project is not high priority).
