Modder ‘Zzyxzz’ has released a pretty cool mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition that adds 80+ dynamic combat styles to its NPCs. Thus, using this mod will make your encounters with your enemies more unpredictable.
Going into more details, the mod distributes the combat styles randomly via SkyPatcher while you play. As such, every combat situation can and will be different. In the vanilla game, a Level 1 Bandit will always have the same combat style. He won’t block much and is not very aggressive, so he’s not a real threat. With SkyTactics on the other hand, every Level 1 Bandit will be different.
Combat Styles also do not persist. They can also change when you reload your save. When dying in combat and reloading a save, it will be less predictable for you, as the NPC styles will change. There are many different combat styles in this mod, each belonging to different categories or factions.
Humans and Draugrs will now have 20 combat styles. On the other hand, Guards and Soldiers will have 10 combat styles. Forsworn will have 14 combat styles. And finally, all bosses will have 4 different combat styles.
All in all, this is a mod we highly recommend using. This will greatly enhance your encounters with the game’s enemies. It will make them more interesting. So, be sure to download it from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a trailer for it.
