HOW TO CONFIGURE THE ULTIMATE DODGE MOD

1. Set your SNEAK key to what you want dodge to be in the Skyrim controls:

2.In the Ultimate Dodge Mod MCM, set the sneak key to what you want your sneak to be:

My recommended key layout is this: Lctrl = Sneak, Shift = dodge, Lalt = sprint

This modlist is heavily combat focused, trying to bring Skyrim's combat out of the middle ages.

Key mods:

1. Elden parry

This prevents all damage taken from melee, ranged and spell damage (not concentrated spells) if you bash right before. Spells and projectiles will also be reflected if timed correctly.

2. Attack Behaviour Revamp

This introduces FULL attack commitment. There is no sliding around BS here. You attack, you plant yourself. Plan around it. All weapons have an alternate attack mode if you tap both mouse buttons at once.

3. Precision

This causes all weapons to now have accurate hitbox collision in accordance to their weapon model, this means your choice of weapon will be far more impactful and melee combat a lot more responsive.

4. Yamete Kudasai

The combat sex mod of this list. By default you have a 4.5% chance to lose a piece of armour when you take a hit. Elden parries do not count as hits so getting good at that is essential to staying on your feet and not being stripped all the time. Once you are down to 1 piece of armour the next hit will knock you down and the npc who landed the last hit will assault you in a sexlab scene.

5. Skill and visual progression

Animations will change as you level up your skills and unlock certain perks. Some animations are also tied to the equipment you're using. I won't list all the changes, there's too many and it's more interesting finding things out by yourself. These are not just visual changes, some animations actually do more hits while it's playing resulting in more damage.

Levelling and character development

This modlist utilises the Experience mod, you only gain experience for exploration, killing enemies, reading books and quest completion, in conjunction with this we have an Oblivion Style skill system. You get a certain amount per level up and can assign them to ANY skill instead of having to level the skills by using them. You must spend your level up health/magicka/stamina point and then sleep to assign skill points.

Formation with Followers

This mod allows your followers to keep up with you without the unimmersive teleporting. Simply use the left arrow key while your cursor is over a follower and set their position:

As you can see the result is quite positive

Grimy Utilities

This has many functions but the primary one I installed this for is for spell hotkeying. This means you can cast spells instantly with a hotkey without equipping it.

Content and quests

This list includes Legacy of the Dragonborn and assumes you are the dragonborn, however with a twist.

Dragons at word walls will appear 7-14 days and randomly spawn 14-28 days after setting foot in Skyrim. You must absorb a dragon soul for the main quest to begin. Explore the area you spawned in, play some modded quests and new lands. You become the Dragonborn after making a name for yourself in the world, not by default.

For large DLC content we have the trilogy from Vicn: Vigilant, Glenmoril and Unslaad (in that order).

Maids II: Deception also comes in at a full DLC sized content.

Maelstrom is a short quest with some followers rewarded

The Shadow of Meresis is a short quest with some interesting puzzles

Clockwork is also included as well as Skyrim Sewers.

Darkend makes an appearance as well, questless Dark Souls inspired new land to explore and loot.

Some of the dungeons you might be familiar with might not be so familiar anymore.

Some Bandit locations will also not what you're used to.
