» Wed Mar 30, 2011 2:27 am One aim i have specifically outlined in this project was to not only make it playable, but to also make centaurs as playable and effective as human characters. For NPCs it might be alright to just not allow them to wear cuirasses and whatnot, but forcing that on the play hardly makes this a 'playable' race that people will really want to use. One of the most important things, and its something that has never changed in any version is not tamper with the upperbody mesh.....as that pretty mujch destory compatibility and using the premade torso items.
On some online games, I've seen most of the centaurs that are in it, aren't covered mostly on top (except the women of course), some wear hair adornments and the males wear helmets if in combat, but one thing I will say, their gait usually has their arms at 90 degrees and back and forth, like you would have your arms during a good jog, the females seem to have their arms out farther and do a more of a delicate swing than a jog run. But I've not seen any with dead arms (down at their sides), as if they're carrying a weapon, they'd need to hold it up anyways, so perhaps trying the animation that way. This way shields and such would just be "there" along with weapons. Also, a good suggestion for those who don't want to play the centaur but possibly tame one for a horse, horse variations could be a good thing to have.

The running aniamtion is one of the animations that have been fixed already. I was planning ot make a quick video to show that off ut havent had the time.
Althoguh I mentioned in the pre-alpha, Im not doing creature versions of the centaurs, however, the meshes/animations will work fine on a creature, so if anyone wants they can follow this tutorial n making ridable creatures: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Making_Ridable_Creatures
If anyone makes a ridable centaurs mod, just post about it here and I'll add it to the OP.
EDIT:
Dont expect the update to soon, I've just started back in my second year of university, and the next update is rather large and will be much closer to what I originally planned the alpha release to be.
