Horizontal Stance

[Kresselack]

The stance you hold a warhammer in Oblivion is impractical and unsafe. A warhammer is best wielded horizontally with your hands apart. The weapon is swung in the mods rediculous way. I have actually tried swinging a sledgehammer like the way you do in Oblivion. My body was nearly pulled by the weight of the hammer, leaving a nasty hole in the fence and a sore back.

 

The correct, or atleast better, way to hold a warhammer

The "Warhammer-Stance" from Oblivion is actually somewhat "not too bad" for a Claymore.

 

Warhammers and Axes are way too short anyways, so a proper stance can not be done.

Perhaps the screenshot was not a good enough example. The warhammer's handle is not ''too'' short.

 

Heres a better screenshot

The one on the left with a hammer displays something related

Your right the warhammer stance in Oblivion isn't right, its best suited for a claymore like you say. And yes your stance you give would be a perfect one. That mod should be made in order to add more realism.

I would like to use a mod that gives the character the right stance, but in first person mode, I'm not sure it would look much different.
