I started a play-through recently where I'm playing as a two-handed greatsword user. In general I try to play the game with relatively realistic levels of immersion and one thing which I noticed and was quite frankly bothered by, was the two-handed draw/carry. For starters, it's unrealistic to carry any weapon on your back, with few exceptions, especially in a place like Skyrim where you almost always need to have your weapon at the ready. More importantly, to draw your weapon from your back is equally impractical and slow, especially for a large weapon like a greatsword.

 

Essentially what I'm asking for is a mod to change the carry/draw animation for large two-handed weapons to more accurately reflect real-world carry/drawing techniques. For instance, carrying a greatsword by resting it on ones shoulder and cradling the pommel/guard in hand (Similar to how large weapons are carried in Dark Souls). Obviously I understand there's certain game balancing issues that could arise from having a significantly quicker draw animation for weapons like these, but I would prefer to have the unbalance in favor of realism and to make playing a two-handed user slightly easier/practical.

 

Of course I understand one workaround could be to just run around with your weapon drawn all the time, but again, I do try to play realistically and immersed, and quite frankly running around sword-in-hand all the time isn't very immersive for me. Although understandably, I'm aware that I'm essentially asking for the same thing here.

 

I did have a look on the Nexus, and I couldn't really find anything like this, nor could I find any suggestions like this on the forums, admittedly however, I didn't look particularly hard. So please forgive me if something like this already exists and I'm just a dingus who couldn't find it. One last thing to mention, I understand this is an objectively pointless mod to ask for, or even a very basic mod to ask for, however I feel it's a mod that a good number of users would appreciate and enjoy.

I really like this Idea and agree. Looks like there have been many people over the years requesting the same thing. There used to be a mod or two that did that but it looks like they have been removed. Ah well, hopefully someone does one, or I can find one like that.
