Skyrim modding has turned my player character into a weeb action game hero

I have a combat animation mod installed that changes the animation of each directional input for your attacks. What that means is if i'm walking to the left and attack, it'll play a certain left strafing attack, to the right, a right strafing attack. Also, this particular mod let's you cancel animations mid attack, and let's you start with any directional attack you want and mid animation you can press another direction to use that directional attack instead. You can also chain light attack cancels into directional heavy attacks. It's very stylish and nearly seemless. The animations flow nicely into each other no matter how you cancel them. It's not particularly hard to cancel them either, since it's based entirely off of directional inputs from your controller or keyboard.

However, and this is where it gets interesting, there's a perk overhaul called Ordinator that changes the way directional power attacks function. For example, a sideways power attack will sweep the whole area in front of you, a forward power attack, depending on the weapon, can do a bunch of different things such as knock opponents down, deal percentile damage, whatever. So this means, combined with the animation mod that allows cancelling out of attacks mid animation, you get both directional powerattack perks to trigger in one attack. I've even found a potential bug with cancelling a sideways light attack into a forward light attack, into a back powerattack that makes the backpower attack tick twice in terms of damage.

So, basically, every encounter, I'm trying to pull off some stylish cancels and just dumb funny stuff that I've found BUT...

Every enemy human in the game can't use these animations, as it's setup to where only my character can use them. You'd think this would be a good thing and advantage for me... It's not. Playing on the legendary difficulty makes this one of the hardest action games I've ever played. To deal significant damage, I have to take advantage of every multihit exploit that I can.

How is this so bad for me?

Every enemy is still playing vanilla combat Skyrim. If that doesn't make sense to you, imagine what the vanilla AI does to you in Skyrim. They just walk up to you, tank your hits, and spam attacks nonstop. So, while I'm trying my best to deal any significant damage to enemies, they're just spamming and killing me whilst having to put out no effort whatsoever.

It's very fun, though. I think I'll play around with this mod setup for the forseeable future.

This post was longer than it should have been.

Good morning everyone. Have good day :3
