Simple gameplay tweaks - Shouts, dual-weapon blocking, and more

This mod contains some minor gameplay tweaks that I personally use. Includes shoutouts, dual ball handlers and more.

This mod contains some minor gameplay tweaks that I personally use. Includes shoutouts, dual ball handlers and more.

Simple shout adjustment

This is mostly based on Enai Siaion's Thunderchild. Although I no longer use this mod in recent playthroughs, I still appreciate the improvements it makes to vanilla shouting. Since most modern revitalization overhaul mods enhance the shout with revitalization, I don't want the shout to be turned up too high and become too OP.

I made most of the vanilla shout improvements, fixes, and quality of life changes in Thunderchild, with a few modifications to suit my liking.

I also made the heroes summoned by Brave more powerful by giving them appropriate perks and weapons for the heroes of the north.

Simple dual weapon blockade

I moved the awesome mod Dual Swing - Slap and Block by Moljka to SSE and marked it as ESL. Also included are fixes suggested by user Linnsanity in the posts section. </ s > </ s > </ s >

What this mod does is allow you to block and strike by pressing the right mouse button while dual-swiping, just like you would with a shield or one-handed weapon. Also lets you choose which arm (left/right) your character will use by moving when attacking: if you attack and move to the right (or a right and forward combo, etc.), your character will use its left arm to attack (otherwise it will use its right arm).

Moljka seems to be inactive now, so I shared the module on the SSE page and if he/she cares about it, I'll put this part down.

*Please note that this is not compatible with Fighting Game Overhaul. It won't crash your game, but they will have weird interactions.

Simple game tweaks

I personally am using some quality of life changes.

Ancient knowledge gained from the vocabulary gives you a 25% bonus to dwarven armor and weapons. Forging speed increased by 15%.

MLU also has this adjustment, but does not include dwarf crossbows. My mod makes the mod benefit from it too.

Sprinting stamina cost reduced from 7 to 5 points.

Stamina and Magicka regeneration delay reduced from 0.5s (2.5s if using Wildcat) to 0.2s.

Includes horse movement speed and handling adjustments from my other mod Diversified Horses.

Ghost Assassins in Dark Brotherhood missions are now very stealthy.

All plugins are labeled ESL. Also included is an all-in-one version.

compatibility

Should be compatible with most mods except some that edit the same stuff. If a conflict occurs, choose your own priority and load this module below or above the conflicting module.

Simple dual-weapon blocking is incompatible with the fighting game overhaul. It won't crash your game, but they will have weird interactions.

Simple Shouts Tweaks

This is mostly based on Enai Siaion's Thunderchild. While I no longer use the mod in my recent playthrough, I still appreciate its improvement to vanilla shouts. Since most of the modern perk overhaul mods enhance shouts by perks, I don't want the shouts to be overtuned and become too OP.

I took most of the vanilla shouts improvement, fixes and quality of life changes in Thunderchild and edited a bit to fit my preference.

I also make the summoned heroes from Call of Valor stronger by giving them appropriate perks and nord hero weapons.

Simple Dual Wield Blocking

I port the amazing mod Dual wielding - bashing and blocking by Moljka to SSE and make it ESL-flaged. Also included the fix suggested by user Linnsanity in the posts section. 

What this mod does is to allows you to block & bash by pressing the right mouse key while dual wielding, just like you are using shields or one-handed weapons. Also allows you to choose what ar …
