CaptainChaos Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Is there any mod to make shield charge a little less powerful? I can't find one and the reason I ask is that it's just hyper powerful. Against a room full of bandit marauders, every time I'm in trouble I just knock them all down. It's a bit like a smart bomb that never runs out. I don't want to just not use it; i deserve something for 100 Block, but it's a bit unbalanced I think... anyway, thanks for any guidance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofscotty Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It should be running out and quite quickly via stamina if you havn't got ridiculous amounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 I don't think it costs any stamina. I just shield charged 5 bandit types non-stop for almost 30 seconds. The only thing that cost any stamina (and a lot of it) were the power attacks I followed up with. As long as I had a sliver of stamina left, I could shield charge and knock everyone down. I totally massacred them. Very unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) hi CaptainChaos, just to share, i moved on to 2-handed weapons and gave up sword+board 1-handed combat because combat became too easy and ruined the game for me.understand how you feel about keeping the shield charge perk and finding a way to dial it down, i couldn't find a decent solution.ended up using 'player.removeperk 00058F6A' to remove Shield Charge and 'player.removeperk 000d8c33' to remove Quick Reflexes which was annoying (times slows down).fyi, i read here that Shield Charge appears to be broken as of patch 1.5: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim_talk:Blockanyway, you might try eliminating enchanted gear that fortifies blocking and downgrade to a lesser shield type if you have these equipped; but, with 100 block skill i think you may be stuck being overpowered unless you're willing to give up Shield Charge and just use bashing skills.you could also consider setting game difficulty to master if you haven't already.unless skyrim combat skills are kept balanced and challenging the game tends to cease being any fun in my opinion.

CaptainChaos Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. I'm on Master and Hardcore. I would like Shield Charge to work it's just way overpowered, but yeah, I'm surprised no one modded it yet. Ok, thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlcr Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 hi CaptainChaos, maybe experiment with console command: SETAV BLOCK <##value>and try to dial down your block skill which might make shield charge less powerful and therefore realistic/balanced again.(http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console - SetAV sets the level value of the attribute to the stated value.) not sure using SETAV will work for ya.., according to the perk chart on http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:BlockShield Charge skill perk prerequisite already requires 100 Block skill.. (and Disarming Bash or Block Runner). fyi, modder TuCot was messing around with the Block Perk tweaks using SKSE and Script Dragon, you might post a comment asking if he's interested in de-powering Shield Charge somehow..Extended Block Perks by TuCoT - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=7787 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
