10 Best Skyrim Mods That Make It The Perfect Game

6. Duel: Combat Realism

Nexus DownloadSteam Download If you fancy yourself a bit of a hardcore player, odds are you found The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a little too easy. And if that's the case, then Duel: Combat Realism is for you. This mod aims to overhaul the feel of combat in the game, without straying too far from the vanilla mechanics. In Duel, players have to take it slow and fight with their shield raised more often, as opposed to the hack-and-slash frenzy of the original experience. Rather than brashly charging in, you have to move carefully, and find an opening to strike at the opportune moment. With a few minor tweaks to AI and damage values, the core experience of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim can be dramatically reworked into an extremely satisfying experience, changing up the pace and giving the game a greater sense of tension in the process. If you've been finding that the moment-to-moment action is getting a little dull, maybe it's time to give this mod a go.
