Dead Weight - Heavy Greatsword Moveset

---

A heavy greatsword moveset for MCO / ADXP, inspired by the Great Sword of the PSP-era Monster Hunter games. The sword is so heavy that you can only walk while it's drawn, and every swing is slow and leaves you wide open. But when it lands, it hits hard and staggers the enemy.

It only plays while you have a greatsword with the keyword "WeapTypeColossalSword" drawn. Your other greatswords keep their normal moveset.

 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ On AI use
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

All animations are hand-made by me (KEI997). Claude Code (AI) wrote the SKSE plugin (DeadWeight.dll) and the small ground-dust script.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Features
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Walk only while the sword is drawn. No running
- 5-hit attack combo
- Every hit staggers the enemy (needs For Honor in Skyrim, see below). Weapon damage is not changed. The moveset is full of openings, so I think this buff is fair.
- Custom idle and block animations.
- Custom dodges (a heavy dive and roll, 9 directions) if you use Dodge MCO-DXP.
- Custom block-hit reaction if you use Maxsu Block Overhaul.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Supported weapons
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The included KID ini adds the keyword to:
- Dragon Slayer - Berserk: the Dragon Slayer
- Ultra Greatswords: all greatswords in the mod
- Unslaad: the Dragonbone Smasher

Want it on another weapon? Write your own KID ini with a line like this:
Keyword = WeapTypeColossalSword|Weapon|0x123456~YourWeaponMod.esp

■ About the stagger
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The attacks call stagger spells from For Honor in Skyrim.esp through their annotations. With For Honor in Skyrim installed, enemies stagger on hit. Without it, they don't. Everything else still works.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ Known issues
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

- Power attacks and sprint attacks are not replaced. They use whatever moveset you already have.
- The walk-only limit applies to the player only.
-IMPORTANT - GAME VERSION

I play on Skyrim 1.6.1170.0 and built and tested this version only there. It is NOT updated for the recent 1.7.x Skyrim updates. If you are on 1.7.x and want to use it, downgrade to 1.6.1170.

■ Source code
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The SKSE plugin is open source (MIT):

First glance at it and i thought it would be one of scrab's weird mods, heh. is there any way to speed the attack anims slightly ? they feel slowmo for me
