TravisGE Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Just a simple thought, archery in Skyrim uses the mediterranean technique, with the arrow on the left side of the bow, and the three fingers used. It'd be interesting to see a simple animation mod that shifts the positioning of the bow, arrow and the finger technique to be Eurasian technique, AKA, Thumb release (optional thumb ring maybe?) and the arrow on the right side of the bow? Considering the majority of the bows in skyrim are some form of recurve/composite and even the hunting bow essentially a form of horsebow it makes sense that the appropriate technique would be applied. Maybe I'm just looking into it. P.S. Another idea I was thinking was more realistic animations for combat using weaponry, I like realistic combat, while we've got all these mods that more realistic damage and calculations it still looks ridiculous how much the characters over-swing their weapons and how clumsy they are. I know we can't work past silly hollywood things like the typical sword and board *swing, block, swing, block* there are mechanics that help bring that more technical and beneficial (like the staggering mechanics) it'd be nice to see a more logical attack than a sloppy one. A perfect example is how ridiculous the two-handed animations look... In real combat if you over-swung that hard you'd die (and to be fair, I do with the difficulty mods I use, two-handed weapons are too slow.) EDIT: Also I'm aware not all of Eurasia used this technique but the technique was prevalent throughout Eurasia for so long and was used by so many different cultures.
