Combat and attribute overhaul

• Introduction

SOS is a lightweight, almost unscripted combat mod designed to be used with Ultimate Combat and Wildcat, as well as any other combat mod. It is intended to be consistent with the functionality provided by the Dodge mod and the timed blocking functionality of another combat mod. However, you can of course also run it standalone. Additionally, it will free up the .esp slot based on your settings. It features various balance modifiers, giving a lot of attributes, especially Stamina, a much-needed overhaul and introducing unique new features of its own. SOS attempts to make combat in Skyrim more tactical, skill-based, fast and difficult. It accomplishes this without making enemies into damaged sponges or demigods. Instead, it introduces new features that make combat even more exciting. Attacking now slows you down, spamming just exhausts you, and enemies now stagger so you can too. There is a whole system of postures based on endurance. Whenever you fight a boss now, you're trying to chip away at their health and stamina until you finish them off with a sweet death blow. As the game becomes more difficult rather than unfair, beating up your enemies will make more sense!

This mod encourages a whole new style of play: engage enemies, stagger them, and then execute combos. When they counterattack, you dodge or deflect, then reposition. After lowering their stance, you're going to deliver a killing blow. This mod doesn't force you to play anything different, instead it gives you the opportunity to come up with your own unique and creative playstyle in order to manage increasingly difficult battles. have fun!

1.1 Installation

Simply download or unzip via Mod Manager/MO and place all files into the Skyrim/Data folder. No further installation required, no prerequisite modules, no FNIS or Nemesis required. If you want to run SOS with Ultimate Combat and Sekiro Combat, make sure to load SOS last. Depends if you run it with Wildcat. If you prefer fixed Souls difficulty, load SOS last. If you want to configure MCM difficulty, load Wildcat last.

2.Features

Release .esp slot

Are you running any of the following mods: Mortal Enemies, Simple Stamina Management, Simple Stagger, Attack Speed ​​Fixes, or any other mod with that functionality? You can then tick them and enjoy free .esp slots. My mod changes many of the same values ​​as these mods, making them essentially obsolete.

attack commitment

Every time you swing a weapon, your character's speed is greatly reduced. This makes the kiting game more difficult for the player. Additionally, this means players can no longer be hit while floating around the battlefield. You will have to dodge, block or take hits. This means that whether or not you should attack is always a conscious decision, a gamble. Unlike regular Skyrim, launching an attack at the wrong time is dangerous and can stagger you and drop you to pieces.

mark

Whenever you hit an enemy, the Mark debuff is applied. Marking an enemy means you're always watching him. His attacks are more telegraphed (slowed down slightly), and his stamina regeneration is slowed. Tagging an enemy when he is low on health will slow his movements and stop his regeneration. Tags last 6 seconds, so you should want to hit at least once every 6 seconds.

Property changes

Stamina now regenerates much faster than in the base game. You can regenerate more stamina when out of combat, stationary, and not blocked. Essentially, blocking gives you the same stamina regeneration as the base game, which is very low. All attacks now cost stamina, depending o …
