📋 About This Mod
Think counterattacking is impossible against too many enemies in vanilla? Then this mod is for you!
All my mods were made in OG (
1. 31/1. 32 game version), and then the changes were transferred to NG (
4. 04+ game version) scripts. I always post
two separate versions in
one archive if necessary. If there is only one version in the archive, it is universal. If the mod is only for OG, I will especially note this.
If you use a mod manager, you should repack the archive with the mod, leaving in it only what is suitable for your version of the game. Why don't I post separate archives? It's more convenient for me.
Description in English:
There are three types of attacks in the game: those that can be fully parried with the sword, those that can be partially parried (half damage and stagger), and those that cannot be parried at all. In vanilla, you can only counterattack attacks that can be parried completely.
This mod also allows you to counterattack most attacks, which can be partially parried, but not without risk: if you press the key at the right time, you will not receive any harm and will be able to take advantage of the counterattack (for example, thanks to the skill of the same name), but if not, you will receive the same half damage and stagger.
For technical or aesthetic reasons, the following attacks cannot be counterattacked:
- Giants: strikes the ground with hands or weapons, attacks while running.
- Golem/Elemental: strikes the ground, attacks while running.
- Gryphon/Basilisk/Cockatrice: sharp landings after a long flight or take-off in place.
- Fiend/Chort: attacks while running.
Attacks of human with two-handed weapons and Wild Hunt warriors (including bosses) are counterattacked with a bash or kick.
An optional module will allow you to use an alternative sword counterattack animation (mostly against monsters), that is used when cutting off the Grave Hag's tongue, with a 50% chance, except in cases where it looks illogical.
Another optional module will allow you to use a sword counterattack animation against humans.
You can use both options at the same time.
Comfortable counterattacks mod is highly recommended!
Installation:
1. Install Counterattack Fixes!
