Look, the Elder Scrolls series has never had great combat, but 2002’s Morrowind and the games before it are the worst offenders. A new mod for the OpenMW source port could be just the thing to make the open world clunker sing, though: It adds a Sekiro-style perfect block parry, as well as one of the most cleverly balanced overhauls of Morrowind’s controversial percent-chance-to-hit system I’ve seen.<\/p>\n

Author MrArrean describes his mod, N’Garde<\/a> (nice<\/a>), as “What if Bethesda had another year or two to let Morrowind cook?” with a goal of “more difficult, but more rewarding melee combat.” N’Garde is primarily built around the best kind of parry: A perfect block where, when you hit the timing window, you take no damage and stagger your opponent.<\/p>\n
