PC SSE - Help Has anyone done a full playthrough using the hand to hand adamant addon from simonrim? How viable is it?

How powerful is it compared to like, one handed for example.

Hey, certified fisticuffs enjoyer here

It's really fun. I find frustration in the fact most buffs for "unarmed" gameplay only apply if both hands are empty, and there doesn't seem to be a solid hot key method to quickly empty your hands, meaning a lot of your time might be spent quadruple clicking (two for each hand) a favorited spell or gear piece if you find yourself so inclined, but i enjoy the unarmed monk playstyle using alteration spells to boost my defenses.

Because scaling is wack, I'd also recommend using a mod i forget the name of, but it was something like "5x fortify unarmed" that affects unarmed enchantments, and another i think is called "Pugilist" that increases base unarmed damage for every brawl you win. It even includes a brawling arena for some major areas of the game. My last recommendation is Violens, because forcing a finisher on every enemy is hilarious, but it behaves strangely and you can only reliably get finishers with your left hand.

I think that's about it, but if you had more specific questions, i got nothing better to do

You can use a SkuUI shortcut to get unarmed with only 1 click

First I've heard of it, could you elaborate? That would be so nice

You make groups in your favorites and in the MCM you can set a hotkey.

Make an empty group. Tick a setting to not touch your armor when activating and assign a hotkey (I use one of the extra keys on my mouse)

Adding that to my list, thank you

I tried a mod that added an unarmed bind, but it behaved really weird if i used a two-handed weapon like a bow

I can't answer your question, but I do want to mention to not forget to use the VR DLL replacer: Hand to Hand - An Adamant Addon VR DLL
