Thought you were referencing to JonTron's Flex Tape video.

[@TotallyNotASpy1]

A Skyrim mod channel where the player has female characters wearing proper armor instead of skimpy outfits and demonstrates useful mods? Time to subscribe!

[@linegenrou]

those skimpy outfits mods are fucking hilarious

[@spencerharding1977]

Truth

[@splder5430]

That's the medusa armor by Zerofrost, he's just amazing at armors.

[@gethsoftware]

Skimpy outfits>"proper armor" Why? because if i have to suffer the unrealistic bullshit that women get any armor they might as well please my eyes. Nobody would bother making armors for women because 9 out of 10 times male wins the fight so you might as well not fight and instead stay home and give birth to more cannon fodder.

[@Jordan-or8wu]

gethsoftware "9 out of 10 times" okay dude

[@AeroZcape]

i remember, after ablut 1000 hours of playing this game i decided to overhaul the combat very much like this. And on top of that i added "Deadly Mutilation", "Enhanced Blood Textures", and some mod that i don't remember the name of that, as an example, made it so that enemies killed by fire spells turned into charred boens of corresponding creature + a blood pile on the ground; Just for that extra brutal aspect to it. The bloody difference it made to the game! It actually felt like your attacks where cutting into the enemy and not just waving in the air in front of them. best modding decision i ever made with that game. I found that playing an asssassin character with a greatsword and/or bow + werewolf form made for the best, bloodiest and most satisfying combo.

[@AshbeeGaming]

Wildcat is my all time favourite combat mod :)

[@RealLeskot]

Exactly, its sometimes anoying when you get spine injury but still top :D

[@AshbeeGaming]

Yukimura Completely agree! :)

[@RealLeskot]

It brings up funny element to skyrim combat, as i said, only real downside is that no metter how strong you are, you can never just run into enemies like god because youll go down quite quickly thx to the injury mechanic, i can´t really imagine playing wildcat without tk dodge :D :P

[@j3ffc95x]

I tried to install the Wildcat mod into Skyrim Mod Organizer for Legendary Standard Edition and it says "error invalid type 105". How do I make it work, I want it sooo much?

[@SharpTony]

I never really enjoyed playing Skyrim, but I thoroughly enjoy watching watching you play and seeing the mods!

[@Veggum]

I'm just now modding my skyrim again starting last night then you post this. The timing is great. More skyrim videos would be great :D

[@emjay2d]

Nothing but quality -- And maybe the push I needed! :D

[@seculus3767]

5:22 I didn't know you were Todd Howard

[@DeityDiz93]

It has taken me half a decade to rediscover this video and I have a simple question for anyone who can answer: At 1:10 what is the mod that gives the Frost Atronach this custom block and bash animation? I have been looking everywhere for this mod or footage of it's existence as there is no information about this online, and no search query I haven't tried so I do not ask this question lightly. I'm desperate for anything on this at this point, so if there is anyone who knows, uploader or not, you'd more than have my eternal heartfelt thanks. Having this mod would be like a wish granted for me, as without this in my game, something has always felt missing. I found this video again thanks to Whitelight's "Why Did You Love Skyrim". I remembered specifically an Frost Atronach fight atop the highest spot of Karthspire Camp, so as far as I know this is the ONLY place online where such footage of this custom Frost Atronach is and I could not find this on the Skyrim LE Nexus or the original Steam Workshop. I know that as this video predated the Special Edition of Skyrim by 3 days, I doubt it's a mod for that version. Here's hoping I get an answer, as this is a stab in the dark posting here, but at the version least I hope to find this mod and give thanks and props to the original mod author for this amazing work.

[@Fevir]

It was something I had made for myself when I was learning how to mod. Unfortunately I don't have it anymore otherwise I'd upload it for you. :( Sounds strange that the behaviour hasn't been done elsewhere in some other monster AI mod. Sorry I couldn't be more useful.

[@DeityDiz93]

To be honest, this was on me. I failed to ask back then, when I probably had the best chance to get a proper upload; I know based on timeline that I would have got it if I just asked then. Still, don't be distraught, you have my regards and my heartfelt thanks, don't beat yourself up at all! I want you to know that here - at the end of the day, because I got the insight and answer I was after that you are 100% not useless and in fact more than can be the person I turn to. There is no worries left because now, I got to appreciate the work from the source, and actually have hope I'm operating in good faith by asking here and now about the possibility of a commission and permission, this is better than anything I could've asked for; I couldn't dream for a better response than this! Thank you so much for your work; it's captured my imagination for so many years. I really, really appreciate your answer and the insight. Your animation quality was honestly so good that it had developer quality to them, and I want you to know that it amazes me you did this while learning how to mod, and I honestly think your work would have been well regarded had it made it public/open source/etc. Know that you would have my support in any case because I was so impressed by this that it's made an impression all these years later. It's there where I'll tell you that you have an amazing knack for this kind of thing. If you ever have the chance to remake this mod, trust me when I say over the moon wouldn't be the half of it. Heck, if you or anyone are open to the idea of a mod commission to make it, I think that's the route I'd take now so all is not lost media today. Let me know if you have any interest there as I'd be happy to support such fantastic work! I won't pretend that it may still be that easy since it HAS been over half a decade, but it's such a wonderful idea for a mod that I'll at least ask, because frankly one way or another I'm going to try to see your amazing work shown here realized and honored. If your answer to making it again, incentive or not, is not something you can do, do I have your permission to ask or seek out a mod author who can make it? Of course, if you can make it still, I personally would be elated since you capture the spirit of the animation SO WELL here, yet I'm confident the mod scene couldn't have that spirit here too, but that much is up to you.

[@AtelierMcMuttonArt]

The Weapon Speed setting in Skytweak effects NPCs too? Whaaaaaat

[@Redacted.Studios]

still on that skyrim grind i see

[@stefanm.734]

Just so everyone knows, the Weapon Parry Standalone is now actually standalone. It was remade from the ground up and now no longer causes issues.

[@xila762]

Why isnt there a mod that completly copies the combat movements of Dark Messiah? Best combat in game I´ve come across til this day.

[@kylekrb1]

Thanks for making this, This makes skyrim slightly more bearable.

[@martin_pryor2989]

Thank you very much Fevir! Awesome mod combination and little tweaks! :D

[@agent_exodus]

my god... whatever lighting or enb you are using here is awesome

[@Fevir]

Don't worry. Tomorrow is a non Skyrim video

[@Greeb750]

Fevir what enb do you use?

[@Nekerfree]

Changing speedmult values changes only the player's weaponspeed, not everyone's...

[@THEVOIDZ]

I love Wildcat, its an overshadowed gem.

[@adarwinterdror7245]

great skyrim mods.... and most of them do not work in skyrim SE. i miss TK dodge 2.0 so much, and "Action combat" as well (not a fan of wildcat)...

[@mothernature521]

Omg your game is so pretty. Sadly I don't have a good enough computer do handle such graphics at 60 fps let alone 30 in all places.

[@casetheace8494]

I personally think it looks oddly fuzzy.

[@gradivabal]

I was like, "This guy is great, I need to subscribe". *realizes I am already subscribed* huh.

[@Automatomatic]

Thank you for this video. You were very clear and succinct.

[@gundir7504]

There should be a set of mods you could use to fight better in unarmed combat, be it of numerous fighting styles, all the while dodging and counter attacking and using a little bit of magic to have a balanced match with any magic using enemy. It'd make for an interesting playstyle; bringing your fists to a sword fight.

[@PriscentSnow]

I gotta say man, thank you so very fucking much for this. Recently I have just gotten back to playing Skyrim again and the combat had always just feel so unsatisfying (modern games have spoiled me) because well, Im sure we all know why. Despite all the combat mods, it still felt unsatisfying. Its weird that Wildcat did not come up as a search result nor a recommendation when I looked to google for suggestions. Anyway, point is, I am grateful that your video of showcasing the Wildcat mod had come up as a recommended video leading to this video as well. Kudos man, may many great things come your way.

[@charlesnchrg3]

looking forward to your mod lost, Brother!

[@BaranKoc2142]

Oh this makes combat much better!

[@IscariotHeartwork]

The moment you decided to start mod reviewing on youtube without downloading CBBE, you became a good mod reviewer.

[@hika5251]

This channel sucks! He doesn't give me a chance to fap while reviewing a mod!

[@mittag6326]

Holy crap this is dope. I used to mod a lot back in 2012/13 when I was playing Skyrim, but this is like next level compared to mods back then. I might consider revisiting Skyrim... ;p

[@stasisbal]

I didn't realize Skyrim SE was a thing they'd be putting on PC (and at no charge if you own everything) until I just looked it up. I've gotten into ESO recently with the One Tamriel update and had been thinking about trying Skyrim again. I bought but never actually set foot in the Dragonborn DLC. I'm planning on putting a relatively light mod list together. Things that compliment the base game. These combats mods are perfect. Fevir mentioned in the Wildcat video that a lot of mods try to add a bunch of extra stuff to the game that either don't quite mesh or aren't really used. I think this has been my problem. I try to find the perfect set of overhaul mods but ultimately they can't make the game something it's not and I end up disappointed. It's also been a while since I played Skyrim so hopefully it's fresh enough again that I won't get bored. Yeah, I wish it had more roleplaying depth (New Vegas w/ JESawyer and Project Nevada Core is my ideal) but it's still a solid game and the reality is there isn't much modern competition for a game like this.

[@SLlNKl]

Just found this channel and completely agree with your modding more than playing video. I used to mod for hours and had set up a really great list, before my computer was stolen. I'm now on XB1 and I was just wondering if you might take a look at the lists and submit something you would deem worthy of play. I'm trying to make a list now, but it's very tedious to do this with a controller.. Anyway, good shit man!

[@benscott1951]

2:50 that is what fun combat should be about, skill.

[@jamesc4196]

Hello friends: What do you think? What would be a more epic/realistic/hardcore combat experience? This guys mod-lineup in the video (all of them), Or Deadly Combat Revenge of The Enemies Combat Evolved DCO ASIS? Or the same, but Duel COmbat Realism - HARDCORE Revenge of The Enemies Combat Evolved ASIS? - this is where I came from. Anybody have a preference and why thanks!

[@hika5251]

Skydie.

[@nobodyneverknows]

Wuildcat is like a illusion of higher difficulty but its really much much easier than master/ legendary

[@Mabra51]

0:42 _gets hit by axe_ Physics: Cowabunga it is!

[@DaedricJohnson]

i ofc know stuff like wildcat ultimate combat mortal enemies ... i know nearly every combat mod but skytweak where new for me rly cool list, the first list wich rly helped me to improve my combat :D

[@Whole_Note]

I am about to get Skyrim on PC for the first time (500+ hours on XBox). I was going to make a list of mods to get to make the game more immersive, but I think I'll just subscribe to your channel instead.

[@thatlemonguy1107]

I want a mod that makes it so that when you crouch/sneak, you can dodge Arrows.

[@luizengrazia5169]

Awesome mods indeed! Hope they come to SSE soon :D

[@Real_Nine09]

All this stuff and to this day we don't have a mod that has actual dragons and not just wyverns

[@styxxrivers7576]

Awesome videos. Sub'd. Question. I have all of them working with the exception of Weapon parry mod. It does not show. I have not manually moved them around I always let LOOT order my mods. Solved. I had to remove it from being Wyre Bashed and then put it in after. They are detected as conflicting if you Wyre Bash them. THANKS My game is so much better, I can't even explain to people how good it is. It used to feel like run at the enemy rapidly hitting my mouse to kill them. Now it feels way more engaging for lack of a better word.

[@58elrond]

Holy shit, this is a great video.

[@supereor5505]

I'mma need the exact ENB and the exact ENB settings used in this video

[@mattmooney8625]

Fevir, do you have a list of all the mods you use?

[@JL-pc2eh]

Im playing a mage with only some light armor and I completly modded my game. Nothing is as it was before. I did overdo it a bit and now nearly every enemey that gets into range for a melee attack one hits me xD Every fight is a challenge^^ I played a lot of tanky close range fighters so its a nice change to always doge and run around :)

[@Regis2718]

Your game graphics looks amazing, can you list mods that you are using?

[@ProXyki]

What about chugging potions mid combat? This is the key reason why I think Skyrim's too easy, no matter what combatmods you install. I've played about 1300 hours now and this is usually the gamebreaking factor. It makes me overpowered, being able to heal up in an instant. Everything that doesn't oneshot me can and will be killed by me. There is this overhaul called "Requiem" and it features healingpotions which heal your HP over time instead of an instant. Guess something like that would be great addition to your list (not Requiem the overhaul, but a similar potionmod). Anyway, nice video, keep it up !

[@jerricho1325]

Here's a mod that can force the player to use animations when drinking potions, eating, lockpicking, etc (even during combat). Fully customizable. "Animations" www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51554/?

[@vegito9019]

Great video!

[@vampxhours]

The dodge mod is cool but also pointless you can avoid enemy attacks if you've played skyrim long enough you'll find ways to move diagonally which moves your character faster then your normal forward or side movement. Doing that allows you to evade attack but the idea of having a dodge ability is dope nonetheless

[@TheGanjologist]

I put dual wield parry and dodge on the same key. somehow I think it lets you roll again sooner lol but it's nice to block when not moving and it feels great to use in combat just saying

[@Hollobaby1231]

I'm on x1 and new to mods myself but if any1 else is "Better Combat AI" is great too, noticed such a difference

[@sacredxgeometry]

watched about 5 of your vids so far. loving the channel. I have been playing Elder Scrolls for 15 years and I got terribly bored of Slyrim in particular for some great number of reasons but I feel the mods you have suggested may help me seriously have a better time playing this game. Now I want to ask about the Wildcat mod and how close it is to Envigor. I was playing my cousin's completely specked-out game and it had a combat mod where I, as a level 3 barbarian for obliterated by a skeleton-yes, a bone guy- h a greatsword in two hits. Was it probablty the same mod? It's the one that changes weapon damage and specific coefficients right? would you be able to show us a specific video on how best to make combat feel balanced enough while still having enemies that are too powerful for you? I feel some balance mods eliminate a great deal of the power of highly reverent enemies by making them humanlike in health and damage absorbtion. Can you also tell me anything about the Real Combat mod? What does it do? thanks

[@asdf7108]

Anyone know when Requiem will be ready for Skyrim Special Edition?

[@Cheesesteakfreak]

THANKS for your information! This is very helpful, thanks so much!

[@jonbatt6370]

Have you ever used the Vigor mod? If you have, what are your thoughts on it?

[@TheFirstAmendment]

TK Dodge is no longer available for the special edition on Xbox One

[@Sinclairelim]

Combined with AISIS and revenge of the enemies, this is a perfect combat mod list for me. However I also enjoy archery quite a lot. Is there anything you can recomend that can tweak or improve on archery? I usually use ordinator. But I really feel like playing a long playthrough using Perkus Maximus. Does this mod list work well with that overhaul?

[@EthicalCrusader]

Archery Gameplay Overhaul improves a lot on how archery feels and also makes it a lot more powerful. There's also Nock to Tip which improves on a whole bunch of things that I can't remember.

[@brycemartin5156]

I dont see how anyone uses Wildcat's default settings. If you're able to do half of an enemies health, they stagger, and then you hit them against and if you hit the next threshold, they stagger, and you do it again and they stagger. So essentially, all enemies have half health because you can permastagger them once they reach 50%. That's assuming they dont get paralyzed or such from an injury. This also happens to you without you needing to drop low because you by default get staggered from normal hits, making combat against multiple enemies impossible because it's just a permastun fuckfest. Are the attacks of opportunity good? Yes. Is the permastaggering good? Fuck no. As a player you cant react when youre staggered for 1.5 seconds, and usually theres more than one enemy who will stagger you again during that time.

[@ehud2940]

Quality video m8

[@ZootTuber]

So let me just get this straight. You use all these mods are once? If so, what load order do you use? Is it the order you show them in? Forgive me if it is already mentioned in the video.

[@GameF0x]

Hey Fevir, do you think this combat setup would work well with Hardcore mod playthroughs? I'm about to upgrade my pc and get right back into Skyrim with Requiem installed.

[@TrueAramil]

Hey, Mr Fevir! How does the original skyrim mods work in the special edition? Shall we wait until they release special edition mods or can we use the already existing ones?

[@dentelos5658]

What version of Mortal Enemies do you recommend? Normal or the Rival Remix? And what's the difference with the walk and run changes?

[@normal6969]

Will definitely try these, thank you. Till now I used Combat Evolved, the stances from ACE, and TK_dodge. I hope they will be compatible with PerMa, Disparity and Better Vampires? :) My goal is to have a combat system near Dark Souls.

[@TheRiptideRaptor]

normal6969 get souls menu mod

[@normal6969]

The Riptide Raptor What is it good for?

[@Sinclairelim]

Is it compatible with PerMa?

[@normal6969]

Essentially a quick button spell and weapon cycling, like in a shooter game. Immersive. (Y) www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72238/?

[@normal6969]

Currently I play Combat Evolved+Perma+Tk_Dodge+Weapon Parry+Skyrim Realistic Archery Bows and Arrows for combat modifications. Of course they are compatible. Attacks consume stamina, dodge bestows an invicibility window, you can parry with a weapon, for spellswords, and projectiles behave better. Pretty DarkSoulsesque. Also all the bigger harder unleveled enemies mods. ;)

[@aedanvaltherion1182]

but if you change the weaponspeedmultiplier and then change the leftweaponspeedmult, wouldn't your left hand weapon speed be lower than the right hand weapon?

[@Fevir]

its right hand left hand

[@aedanvaltherion1182]

Fevir thanks

[@stratosadam6820]

is it really worth to buy special edition when there is 10% available of the mods that were at the original skyrim? besides the older version with proper mods looks better than the new w/e

[@Anordil]

Does Dual Wield Parrying allow for NPCs to also parry if they are dual wielding? I read the mod's description page and I couldn't find anything about it.

[@halloheinz]

Hey Fevir wich ENB where u using here? looks amazing, and do you know if that ENB is avalble for SE?

[@dancog2719]

Don't you get a conflict using TK dodge & Ultimate Dragons on the same character? I never got them to play nice.

[@j3ffc95x]

I tried to install the Wildcat mod into Skyrim Mod Organizer for Legendary Standard Edition and it says "error invalid type 105". How do I make it work, I want it sooo much?

[@YamznEggz]

Do you use any mods for the graphics? If so, what mods are they?

[@zefferia]

IT JUST WORKS !!!!

[@johnstovall7503]

The original " attack commitment no turning during attacks" seems to work significantly better than Mortal enemies for me. www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70079/?. It is wonderful concept that really improves combat tons IMO.

[@ivanmcbleedy1397]

Thanks for this video. I had been clinging on to some old combat mods for a while now, but started a new playthrough with a combat overhaul based on this video, and I am having a VERY satisfying experience. I also added TKHit and TKRecoil to go along with TKDodge. It all adds a very nice hardcore weight to combat that is always challenging and interesting and never dull. Ordinator perk overhaul and ASIS make for some epic large scale fights with perks shared across all the NPCs. And no crashing or lag or such! Which is the main reason I abandoned my old combat overhaul setup and started looking around for new combat mods. And wallah---this video! :) Thanks

[@Risenshinenfall]

The sad thing is, no amount of modding can make the core combat good enough to justify 50-100 hours in such a combat heavy game.

[@Skulkesyk]

Why is it only 720p? o.O my eyes!!!

[@MetalAndor]

There was a mod that allowed you to set a time for delaying melee hit's after impact, anyone know what I'm talking about? It really made you feel that you are actually hitting the enemy and not just the air.

[@Fevir]

tk hitstop

[@MetalAndor]

Fevir thanks man, is it compatible with these?

[@Fevir]

Sure. The only problem is that mod contributes and misbehaves with combat script lag... if you have too much going on it can make combat feel dsync'd. So before you install it- make a clean save.. try it out for a while and see if there are issues before commiting to it as you don't want to have to uninstall it on the same save.

[@MetalAndor]

How do these modes behave with the new Skyrim by the way? Are modes compatible automatically or these mods have to be remade to fit the special edition?

[@Fevir]

Some can be ported easily and have been.. some require a script extender which is an external resource that doesn't exist yet for the special edition. So.. the answer is.. for some mods it's very easy and so they exist already.. and for some of the more elaborate mods- they can't exist until that external resource is remade.

[@heiscalledinvinciblenotinv68]

the mods in your other channel will be compatible with the original skyrim right?

[@Fevir]

Yeah- modding for SE won't really be cool for a while

[@tobiasgm2978]

These mods seem great and all +Fevir, however most of them require either the Script Extender or the MCM menu, therefore SkyUI and therefore the SE again. Thus most of them will be useless for a very long time for the Special Edition. I hope that I am wrong and that we can use them right away, but my gut says no, can you or anyone else confirm or deny?

[@Fevir]

Some, like Wildcat, will have versions that will work with SE some won't for a while. The thing is though.. that for a lot of PC players the SE edition is going to be inferior than a modded vanilla version and I imagine a lot of people will boot up the SE play for a bit and then miss old mods enough to just go back to their game unless they really want to experience straight vanilla Skyrim again.

[@tobiasgm2978]

Fevir So do you mean I should be able to download Wildcat and just install it for SE and it would work or do you mean they will port it soon? Anyway, thank you answering me :) Your content is great!

[@toccandocreacanaleulterior176]

So with skytweak I can be like Mihawk?

[@ellewoodford8057]

Ultimate combat removes the need for multiple of these mods

[@RaisedFlipper6]

Which ENB is this? Grim and Somber?

[@benjaminlalhmingliana3159]

Just want to ask what mod are you using for the ebony sword.

[@homersimpson1349]

is it SkyUI or MCM, or sth like that? How do you config f.e. Wildcat ingame?

[@hika5251]

You get MCM with Skyui.

[@Sikdomeshot]

Do these only work for the special version of Skyrim?

[@kilban2893]

Vigor is upthere too

[@Jinny-Wa]

What you think of Duel combat mod? Was my goto combat mod when i played Skyrim

[@Fevir]

I'm pretty sure Duel is one of the combat mods that causes save bloat and is just poorly scripted by todays standards.. you can mimic a lot of the functionality with other combat mods and Skytweak safely though

[@RaisedFlipper6]

Hello, Petra

[@SQUIDMANSCOTT]

how do I download skytweak for skyrim special edition, when i search for it no files show up.

[@tomaszgraczykowski3187]

Is there a mod (not Requiem) that makes heavy armor more effective and useful? For me skyrim's core gameplay is too sluggish for turning it into dark souls.

[@AmranSidek]

youre doing standard sjyrim or special edition?..as we all knew that mcm dont work in special edition

[@smashbatgames]

does anybody have a solution to skyrim incentivizing being hit in combat to level up your armor skill?

[@luked4]

I have just started modding so i am looking for good mods

[@DaTerminatorLee]

so i only use vortex and i cant make any of these combat mods work help please i also tried fnis.

[@TheFirstAmendment]

Most of these are not available for special edition sadley

[@demomanchaos]

These work in the Special Edition?
