LE Deflect Arrows

[Savalric]

I think that a mod that allows you to deflect arrows by hitting them with a sword would be amazing. I'm not sure, if it's been done or if it's even possible but we need to make it happen. So... yeah, go team!

Deflecting arrows with a shield is morfe effective, but I kinda' agree, because my current character uses two handed weapons primarily with some magic on the side and very limited marksmanship for targets too far away.

Anyways.

Maybe if you take the perk in blocking that allows you to deflect arrows (or have the heavy armor skill/perk) it could be somehow made so that it also affect your weapons, if they're large enough.

I second this idea.

I can make arrow bounce off the surface of weapon when it is hit by arrow, but I am not sure about deflecting it because I can never hit a flying arrow with my weapon when I test.

Could probably use shield bash "slow time" effect to swat away arrows somehow?

[Gerandirr]

Deflecting arrows in Skyrim doesn't mean you swat them away. You block and the arrow bounces off your shield (or in this case, hopefully your large weapon) without you taking any damage.

Basicly, when you're fighting someone who has a bow in Skyrim, just start blocking when you see them readying their shot.

Block arrow, then run towards them as fast as you can before blocking again.

Rinse and repeat, until you reach them.

Don't need to overcomplicate the request, that'll just reduce the chance of it being made.

Can't that already be done with the dual parry mod?

[Savalric]

I was actually referring to swatting the arrows away with like a sword, ninja style. I understand blocking and running. But if that blacksupernova can make an arrow bounce off a sword, then the only thing left to be skilled enough in timing to hit it. I didn't expect it to be easy to hit. I'd imagine it being a simple If-else statement:

If contact = 1

//the mod would go here

else

// what normally would happen.

 

 

btw, I never actually looked at any of the coding so I couldn't tell you if it would even look like that but the concept seems simple enough.

If you have high enough skills and the perks needed, you'd take no damage if you blocked the hit. As I said, block when you see them notcing the arrow, then run in for the kill.

How complicated that can be ? I don't know what codes are involved though, so it could be something hard-coded.

Or something that can be solved with a few clicks in the CK.

Who knows.

Nevertheless, it's a good idea.

I would love to see this. I mean, arrow comes at you and you just swat it away like "nope!"...how awesome would that be? It'd open up a whole new play style.

[Savalric]

Right, like I said, I currently don't have the expertise to do this, but if someone could help me out, I'm sure we would all appreciate it.
