When You Hear It You Feel It

In the vanilla game, combat feedback can be inconsistent. Some hits land without any sound, and enemies may skip the impact reaction entirely when a strike applies a burning, freezing, or similar effect.

Instead of recoiling from the blow, they snap straight into the effect animation. Killing blows on certain creatures are also completely silent. This breaks immersion and makes combat feel off, even though damage is correctly dealt.

This mod restores missing hit sounds and impact reactions across the board. Every successful sword strike now provides proper audio and visual feedback — whether the hit applies an effect or not, and whether it’s a regular hit or the final blow.

The mod was built as a clean, focused alternative after running into conflicts with existing mods that attempt to address the same issue. It doesn’t alter combat logic, damage calculations, or any other systems. Everything else in combat stays untouched.
