⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 1,086 endorsements and 21,857 downloads—clearly a lot of players dig it.
No more getting shredded by archers mid-fight; just hold block and arrows bounce off.
Works seamlessly with Witcher Sense—sheathe and you're back to normal.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2016—might not play nice with the latest game patches or DLC.
Only affects arrow blocking; doesn't change any other combat mechanics.
Requires a sword in hand, so if you're using signs or crossbow, you're still vulnerable.
