Do NPCs block too much?
Have you ever encountered enemies who endlessly hold up their shields — refusing to attack or do anything else?
This mod fixes that issue.
It uses Open Animation Replacer (OAR) to cancel the block automatically when NPCs are moving while blocking, after a short delay.
💬 FAQ
Q. Will this remove blocking entirely?
A. No — NPCs can still block when standing still. This method only cancels blocking when the NPC is moving while blocking.
Q. Can I use this alongside NPC AI mods?
A. Absolutely. This mod only adds animations with conditions — it does not touch AI logic.
Q. There are already many similar mods on Nexus. What makes yours different?
A. I’ve tried all the similar mods available on Nexus, but none of them worked for me. That’s why I decided to create a mod with a more direct and verifiable effect. It only uses animations through Open Animation Replacer (OAR), without relying on any ESP files or scripts.
