I found the Deadly Reflex 6 mod, and loved how it made combat much more enjoyable in Oblivion, except for one issue - The new animations are terrible. Are there any suggestions for changing/getting rid of the stabs (Which look terrible with maces, axes, and hammers), and two-handed uses of a one-handed weapon (Which look terrible with a shield?)
If not, are there any other good combat overhaul mods? I tried Duke Patrick's... maybe I should try it again, though it's far too different from the original game's experience.
