⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (6,191 endorsements) and massive download count (324k) — this mod is battle-tested
- Simple concept that directly addresses a common complaint: enemies feel too slow and casual in melee
- Custom animations mean it's not just a stat tweak — it changes the visual feel of combat
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other combat mods
- No detailed description of which NPCs are affected or how it interacts with mods that alter AI
- Only affects melee combat — ranged and magic enemies won't get the same treatment
