📋 About This Mod
For ease of installing, I broke up all the different parts of the tweaks I'm creating in different files. This will allow people to customize their game however they want.
Combat Animations: Long Range Spins - Adds around 6 new animations that trigger randomly when using forward light attack at long range. No Spins - Replaces long range spinning attacks with short quick attacks
Disable Cinematic Kill Cam: Removes the slow effect and camera angle from finishing kills.
Alternate Dodge Animation + Two Handed Sword Wield: Alternate back dodge animation. Geralt holds his sword with two hands when walking forward in combat. This is incompatible with E3DodgeSystem.
Install: Move the mod folders to your Witcher 3/Mods folder.
