Slower weapon swinging animations


ProfessorCup

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a mod that slows down melee weapon swings to better represent the swinging of an actual sword, hammer, claymore. I'd like the default weapon swing animations of both my character and NPCs to be slowed by around 30%, and perhaps varied depending on the weapon of choice. Two-handers being the slowest, daggers being the fastest with one-handed weapons somewhere in the middle.

 

The reason I would like to see this is because I've recently been playing with Deadly reflex. I'm enjoying it but can't help feeling as though it is hard to block effectively when every NPC I encounter shows little or no restraint, and most will just keep swinging while simultaneously running into you. This combined with their polystyrene weapon swings makes it hard to combat them confidently. I'm not just trying to make this easier on me though, I want a realistic weapon swing for both myself and NPCs. I want there to be some kinda of strategy or skill to melee rather than just spamming mb1 whenever the enemy staggers, which is something NPCs don't mind taking advantage of by the way. I want weapons to actually look heavy, you know, as if they were made of metal and not cheese.

 

This only needs to change for melee humanoid NPCS as most other monsters give fair warning for their strikes and give you a chance to block.

Only the default swings need to be slowed, not power attacks as they are pretty avoidable.

I've looked around but I can't really find anything. Thanks for reading and any help you can give.

Duke Patrick's Melee Combat is pretty much what you're looking for. It overhauls the entire Oblivion melee system.

Also if you're interested, Duke also has separate realistic archery and magic systems.
