📋 About This Mod
The mod disables one potentially dangerous (for the witcher, no less) fistfight takedown, so the other, more reasonable ones can play more often.
The fistfight takedowns were made well and convincing - they correctly and swiftly make use of the witcher's speed, reflex and considerable strength, the latter despite his slim and sinewy physique (which, on a side note, was spot on in the second game, when compared to the book descriptions, especially to one more detailed that we see thanks to Milva's thoughts in one novel).
But one takedown is over-the-top and like a fourth-wall breaker - Geralt stopping a charging opponent with a stretched straight arm. Especially seeing him do it against VERY heavyweight opponents like Numa hurts to watch by itself. Some perspective: the first fistfight in the game, a guard, assuming he's 80kg+/176lbs+. He's charging at the witcher, who, for no other reason like showing off he's made of stone, stops him with his fully stretched right arm, getting the full physical impact there to spectacularly knock the guard out.
It's not healthy, I mean for Vatt'gern, and could lead to arm injuries, either of the elbow, shoulder or its joint - to pick one. Best avoidable not only in medieval-like times. Gwynbleidd had his left arm broken in the books, it wasn't nice, nor it was fully healed. Risking the other hand for one show-off takedown - not likely.
So, now the takedown is replaced with one of the others, more convincing proofs of his skill. There is a rotation of them, so in each fight we see different animations - it's all unchanged. Just the straight arm one is out of it now.
