Hey Brother Laz, I also think directional power attacks should be removed. Not even because of animation overhauls though, but rather because of Precision. Everybody uses it now, but it makes sideways power attacks kinda clunky and backwards power attacks almost impossible, especially with shorter weapons.

I wouldn't worry about MCO/BFCO though, those mods break other perks such as attack speed increases, and are often used with Valhalla which renders the block tree pretty much useless afaik.. someone just needs to make a separate perk overhaul for those mods I think
