hi everyone.

i always hated the concept of walking sideways and slashing in so many 3rd person sword games (like chivalry, war of the roses etc). in skyrim you can actually jog sideways while slashing. it is incredibly unrealistic to fight like this and it looks kinda goofy as well. IRL when you attack you move forward. not sideways (away) from your opponent. (more like in demon souls or AC... or any other game with a target lock).

however using the CK doesnt allow to do something like that but i DID manage to slow down sideways movement while attacking and replacing the attacking animations of the 1H weapons with some 2H animations that fit a little better.

however i am NOT a 3D animator and i just used a combination of file swapping and CK editing to achieve the result you can see below:

this video shows sideways normal attacks with 1H weapon. no power attacks are done in the video.

i really like how attacking normally and moving sideways occasionally results in quit a varried set of different attacks (like u can see towards the end).

i would like to have a co-modder that will solve the little issue the mod currently has , which is that both hands hold the weapon while it should be only one hand. it looks great with 1H weapon+empty hand but not as good with a shield. if anyone would like to join forces for what appears to me like a very small amount of animation modding, i'd love to collaborate.

Looks pretty good! I'll be keeping an eye on this.
