your talking very complicated animation building and coding. animations or extreamly bugy, as different armours have diferent sizes and shape, so different collision grids, all these aspects have to be taken into account so it will work without problem for everyone, this sort of thing will be a later project and will go through 2/3 levels of beta testing before a viable public release is even planned I figured as much, thank you for considering it though. There was no way I could do this myself at my current state, and time involved. I understand and appreciate your help.

My mod idea is broken down to 3 parts basically adding more depth for assassin characters. The first is just a new added weapon to the game: Gerber Guardian Back Up (Dagger) and sheathing. Its the knife Sam Fisher uses in Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090626102302/splintercell/images/b/bf/Knife.jpg The second part has to do with sheathing location. I have been checking on the site, but I can't seem to find anything remotely feasible for my tastes. I don't like how vanilla Skyrim locates the daggers, they keep getting clipped inside the leg even by default and at the same time I liked the way Splinter Cell Chaos Theory equipped the knife from his back. If you could copy something like that it would add a bonus for all sorts of players tired of having daggers take the role of short swords. Here is a picture of the location and Sam grabbing the knife. http://www.winrag.com/season2issue3pics/Image4.jpg The final part has to do with the back stab animation. I am not a fan of the amateur throat cutting animation, and I was hoping someone with the talent could replace or add for the most part with the choice over default to this new form of back stabbing that actually back stabs low profile. Like this picture. http://theparanoidgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/splinter_cell-chaos_theory2.jpg I know this is no small request, but I figured the rewards from it would be worth it; so much that everyone might want it not just me.

I remember Todd Howard bragging Skyrim was the ultimate assassin's game, felt more like hype. Not enough assassinating kill animations, just the simple amateur throat slitting every time. I prefer this animation in its place (with the added option for those who want both). http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5102/5595612107_762850a8b8.jpg Really satisfying every time, never got old for me, and more effective too. http://www.dignews.com/legacy/screenshots/splinter_cell_chaos_render_01.jpg More please... http://www.dignews.com/legacy/screenshots/splinter_cell_chaos_08.jpg Imagine doing this in Skyrim...

This is a picture of the blade with the scabbard. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090626102302/splintercell/images/b/bf/Knife.jpg Now I have a unique request, and it might change the standard of sheathing for daggers in the future. Typically Bethesda didn't advance much for daggers, you can tell by the default sounds (not Iron or glass) when you take out the blade, resembling a sword across a bar and when you see where you put the dagger its right in the sword location. I find that to be off.. My idea comes from past games like Splinter Cell Chaos Theory where Sam Fisher first had a knife in the series and he pulled it out from his lower back side parallel to the belt. http://www.winrag.com/season2issue3pics/Image4.jpg http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111026044803/splintercell/images/thumb/d/de/SPLINTERCELL3_2011-01-01_23-51-58-79.jpg/1000px-SPLINTERCELL3_2011-01-01_23-51-58-79.jpg I figure this would help also eliminate the issue with the blade/scabbard being inside your leg while sneaking as well...

I find the throat slitting animation to be very ineffective way to kill someone and that of an amateur. My idea is to replace it or at least add an option like vampire feeding while sneak to actually back stab someone like the nick name suggests. Anybody play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory? Remember this picture? http://cubemedia.gamespy.com/cube/image/article/557/557233/tom-clancys-splinter-cell-chaos-theory-20041014034138776_640w.jpg http://theparanoidgamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/splinter_cell-chaos_theory2.jpg http://www.siggysgear.com/images/5803.jpg Also on the side I was looking for this knife, but there are very few dagger mods and that of quality out there, nor close to this... Just some ideas. Thanks for hearing me out.
