I can't remember the name of it and I can't find it anymore... It was a realistic combat simulator for Skyrim that was never features on the nexus but on it's own website... It was probably the most dramatic combat overhaul for melee and archery... ???

Duke Patrick, but it is now available onhttp://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78303/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D78303&pUp=1.

Thanks, that would be the one.

Can anyone recommend a good combat / ai combo?

For a longtime I've been using duel, ASIS and Combat evolved... The stagger system of dual is a bit overpowered though and I see it is considered somewhat problematic in the long term due to savebloat.

I was thinking about swapping out duel for something else... But I see there are a hell of a lot more combat AI mods out today, some of which overlap... I will forever use ASIS,

But I see things like Combat Behavior Improvements, Vigor, Duke, Ultimate Combat, Wildcat... I'm not sure what to consider or what to use alongside another. Any suggestions, recommendations?

Deadly Combat is one of the earlier ones that's stood the test of time.
