-= About =-
Ghost of Rivia is a group of tweaks I made to make sword combat feel more like Ghost of Tsushima. It was not intended to be made public since these changes might be very niche, but it was requested that I released it. So here we are.
Combat changes in this mod:
-
[]Disabled Combat Stance: While not holding block, Geralt's pose remains neutral, as if he wasn't in combat. Yet, all combat funcions like parrying and dodging work normally.
[
]Deadly Counter Mutation works on enemies at 100% HP: By equipping this mutation, you can counter-kill human enemies at full health, making it possible to one-strike enemies when performing a perfect counterattack.[]Counterattack Skill deals 500% damage at max level: When timing your counterattacks correctly, your next damage will be increased to 500%. If counterattacking monsters, this damage will be dealt immediately. If counterkilling humans, this damage will be stored until your next attack.
[]Dodging triggers the Counterattack Skill: Self-explanatory. By hitting the dodge key, your next attack will deal 500% increased damage.
[]Sword-Draw Strike: By hitting a preset hotkey with or without your sword sheathed, you can perform a Sword Draw Strike that deals 500% increased damage.
[]Cooldownless Undying Skill: Disabled the cooldown timer on the Undying skill, so as long as you have at least 1 adrenaline point, you can keep retriggering it repeatedly.
