LE Request: Mining mod, swing like you mean it

[Sha1yen]

Greetings fellow gamers and players of Skyrim.

 

I might as well be blunt and honest, I don't know the first thing about creating mods or how to animate. But I can still appreciate the amazing work that others produce.

Ever since I started playing Skyrim, one thing in particular has irked (that a word?) me, and that is the animation for mining ore-veins.

 

I would really like a simple (I have no idea how simple it can be done) mod that replaces the mining animations with something more realistic. Where my character actually swings like he/she is delivering a forceful blow to the hard rock, rather than just giving it the kind little love-taps that vanilla presented.

 

I really hope that someone is willing to take on this request, as I have searched far and wide for a mod like this with no luck.

 

Sincerely

Sha1yen

if someone makes this i'd give 9000 endorsements

if it were made with an special event with your mod still in mind an special event called

Ore Break would occur.

the whole ore vein breaks

and it drops between 5-10

ores it be helpful

but it would be an rare

event and it would one by one

and it would be one by one

and if it happened you'd get kicked out

and you couldn't go to a mine for 2 days

would you like this idea along with yours?

[Sha1yen]

Why would you get kicked out?

While I can see the "cool immersion" factor of what you're saying, I think it would be messing too much with the game, since you're suddenly getting more stuff than intended.

 

I guess what you're suggesting could be done like an optional add-on patch or something like that, but what I'm looking for is really just a proper follow-through, put-your-back-into-it kinda swing animation

Would really love for some talented modder to take this request

(sorry for bumping, but some other guys just posted his thread like 5 times, so yeah...)

Id love to see this as well

From what I gather, there are quite a lot of people who wants this. I'm honestly very surprised that noone has done it yet :mellow:

Bumping this up in the hopes that a talented modder will notice it and pick it up :ermm:

[markhoss]

I thought of this idea before also, if I could only mod I would have attempted to :-(

Why not just attack the ore vein? You still get ore and your swings have force behind them.
