Future Plans

This project is part of a larger modlist vision,
aiming to create a balanced and engaging combat experience for Skyrim.
Expect continuous refinements and new features in future updates.
such like

  • Integrate Some good Mods Features (lkie Bow Charge Plus)
  • Special (Unblockable) power attack
  • more buff/debuff type Design
  • Perk tree version
  • Armor breaking (NSFW) mechanism, perhaps
  • Damage balancing mechanism inspired by Vindictus.
  • features inspired from famous MMORPG
  • And more...

The initial goal was to create an experience closer to Souls-like games or The Witcher 3,
but in the end, it turned out to resemble vindictus more.
