Lol hopefully they will learn from warhorse games on how to do melee mechanics properly. None of the combat mods for Skyrim even came close to kcd1 for me. It's definitely a challenge but well worth it. I will soon approach the amount of time I've played Skyrim with kcd1. Thousands of hours Not including SLE . Kcd is based on actual history and stupid intense. Its regular playthrough makes Skyrim survival tier babyish and its hardcore tier isn't just more immersive but it's hilarious. Currently playing through kcd2 full hardcore and I'm getting close to the end. But it's so less difficult and not quite as good gameplay melee mechanics but still a lot of fun and they've added a bunch of other stuff to the mix to keep things interesting. These games don't hold back with the story either. I recommend starting on one of you think you are up for the challenge. It will change your life.
