Block and Dodge Whenever You Want (Next-Gen)

All credit goes to ksolberg for the mod and Dravic1 for the fix. I just updated the mod script to Next-Gen. Original can be found here.

WHAT THE MOD DOES:

This mod allows Geralt to block/parry and dodge/roll whenever the witcher sense/guard key is used with a sword in hand.  Sheath the sword and witcher sense is activated as normal.

In the vanilla game, Geralt often gets nerfed by archers and water hags. This is because the game doesn't allow you to deflect arrows or dodge mud flings until it decides you are in combat.  And unfortunately, the game's idea of when you should enter combat is often incorrect.  Even though archers are putting arrows in your chest and water hags are throwing mud in your eyes, the game doesn't allow you to defend yourself!  This mod allows YOU to decide whether you are in combat or not. With a sword in hand you can enter parry stance at any time.  And while in parry stance, you can dodge, roll, or deflect arrows.

Because you have to have a sword in hand to enter parry mode (deflect arrows), this mod works best if you are using another mod that lets you to keep your sword in hand when you want it.  You can either use a mod like No Auto Sword Sheathe or  Friendly HUD - OR - with patch 1. 21 of the game, CDPR included an option for manual sword sheathe/unsheath - select the manual option.
