LE *spell casting*

[Dedicated333]

Hello nexus users, this is my first post here in the forums or anywhere for that matter, so bare with me.

 

I have played Oblivion and Skyrim, in total 6 years for the series pc and ps3, vanilla and modded

 

My request is that in oblivion you could cast spells with shield and sword, battle axe or warhammer etc.

in skyrim you could not, would it be possible to make or could some one show me how to make the animation as such?

 

Thanks

For clarification's sake are you're asking that you can equipe a sword or a shield and then in your free hand cast magic, because you can do that in vanilla. Now if you're asking to say equipe a two-handed axe and then somehow cast blizzard without having a free hand because you did that in Oblivion...then you were using a mod for it as Vanilla Oblivion you couldn't do that.

 

Now on for your request, if you do a search on the forums this has been asked about quite a bit and maybe someone has already made a mod for it.

 

From my understanding of the work required to do this, it would require a remap of the keyboard or mouse to create extra magic keys. At the same time then it would require you to figure out how to deal with the fact that most spells have a casting effect from their hands. That means at one point you could have 4 on screen hands and arms which isn't a big deal of you role-play as Goro from Mortal Kombat, however, you'll likely experience some issues due to the fact that your actor's skeletal system has magically gained two new arms and have some clipping issues.

 

Best of luck however in your search for a mod that does what you want without the Goro effect.

Ah sorry, i had never really used 2h weapons in oblivion, just thought it was the same as sword/shield, on the the mod point, i did a half decent search and came up with nothing remotely close to a "old school casting" but thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated :)
