The flexibility of Skyrims admittedly aging game engine has allowed it to transform in unexpected ways.
9True Directional Movement - Modernized Third-Person Gameplay
Skyrim was originally designed to be played in the first-person.
Combat is much more fluid, and it even features a custom target lock-on system.
Everything feels much more natural and evokes the same combat intensity found in The Witcher games.
The mod even adds floating enemy health bars and works surprisingly well with ranged combat.
8SmoothCam
SmoothCam is a modby mwilsnd and features a highly customizable third-person camera.
The camera uses smooth frame interpolation and a raycasting crosshair to make aiming less of a pain.
One notable feature is the addition of an arrow flight prediction path.
This makes it much easier toshoot in the third personand helps avoid stray arrows.
7The Ultimate Dodge Mod
ShikyoKira created this modto bring modern dodge mechanics to Skyrim.
It gives you a customizable keybind to designate as a dodge button.
While it seems simple enough, it has a big impact on combat.
The ability to either step-dodgeor roll awayfrom attacks makes everything feel more dynamic.
Is an arrow is flying at your head?
Simply dodge past it.
It’s worth noting that gaining the ability to dodge may encourage you to bump up the difficulty.
Combat may become too easy otherwise.
The Witcher already has a similar feature, so this mod will feel right at home.
It replaces the default attack animations for two-handed greatswords and swaps them out for Geralt’s spinning strikes.
The mod requires downloadingLeviathan Animations, by Verolevi, which lays the groundwork for The Witcher attack animations.
Being able to swing your greatsword around with the ease of a blade master really sells the Witcher experience.
Thankfullymod author Bandergerhasbrought Geralts armorinto Skyrim.
Tons of Witcher gear is included, such as the Ursine armor and the Viper school gear.
There are even enhanced versions included, with their appropriate appearance changes.
The mod supports both male and female presets.
To acquire the gear, simply go to your nearest smithing station to craft them for yourself.
This mod adds overa dozen swordsinto the game.
They all have unique names and stats and will require various levels of smithing to create.
The only requirement is to have the Steel Smithing perk.
The weapon models themselves are quite beautiful and look straight out of the games.
Some even come equipped with a custom scabbard model, which pairs very well with The Witcher armor.
There are four variants of these pesky bloodsuckers, and they drop a new ingredient called Fogling Dust.
