Blocking Animation Pack
Blocking animation replacer for all melee weapon greatsword, battleaxe, warhammer, one-handed and dual wield. Works both in first person and third person view.
This mod make it looks like we avoid and deflected the attack, push it aside to left or right. Blocking animation for third person view, comes with three different variants for each state except dual wield. BUT dual wield have full package of blocking that contains blockbash, blockbashintro, blockidle, blockanticipate, movingblockidle in 3rd person view. Whether we push the incoming attacks aside to left, to right, downwards, upwards – every weapon have its own style.
I dont know why that three states triggers the same single looks in vanilla. Actually there is 3 files in Skyrim Bsa, but all was absorbing style – pull the weapon backwards only with different speed. Thats what i change, make it go different angles and make it looks like we are deflecting the hit and push it away. Also feels like enemy really “chasing” you, not targeting same exact point of player weapon all the time. Dont like the feels that vanilla blocking makes me take the damage willingly. I dont want to take dem attacks straight, i push it aside.
Version 1.3 add stabbing bash. Version 1.4 add first person parrying animation. I didn`t make this new first person animation, i found it hidden in “recoil animation”. For new 1stperson parrying version that i make you can find it here.
Available for Skyrim Special Edition
