What does it do?
- The vanilla game's combat stance doesn't allow running, only sprinting, which costs stamina. The mod adds combat stance with running enabled and normal stance (all of them selectable mid-combat). The setting is called Enemy strafing and its options are:
1. On, running disabled - vanilla game behavior, Geralt fights in combat stance and can't run;
2. On, running enabled - Geralt fights in combat stance and can run;
3. Off - Geralt fights in normal stance (like outside of combat) and can run.
- Supports jumping (toggleable mid-combat).
- Enables looting (toggleable mid-combat, though delayed).
- Allows setting enemy level below/at/above player level by a desired amount (can also be randomized).
- Adds a combat animation speed multiplier (range: from normal to twice as fast).
- Adds a chance governed damage dealt multiplier for too weak/strong enemies, independent of gameplay difficulty (adjustable mid-combat, range: from half to double damage).
- Adds a chance governed damage taken multiplier for too weak/strong enemies, independent of gameplay difficulty (adjustable mid-combat, range: from half to double damage).
- Allows setting the chance of weapon degradation (100% without the mod, at 0% weapons don't degrade).
- Allows setting the chance of armor degradation (100% without the mod, at 0% armors don't degrade).
- Can speed up, slow down or pause the game.
- Just for fun: makes it possible to taunt the enemy at will.
Free Combat Lite is a lightweight version supporting only Enemy strafing, Jumping and Looting.
