📋 About This Mod
This mod swaps the standing power attack animations of hand to hand. As a former martial artist, I found it appalling that bethesda had made expert hand to hand fighters use that 2 handed fist pound attack which, frankly, is just silly and ineffective in reality. I thought a nice quick uppercut was much more realistic as the experienced technique so i simply swapped the pre-25 animation with the post-25 animation. Enjoy
This Oblivion mod by tomfrankly adjusts the standing power attack animation for hand-to-hand combat to be more realistic. With 135 endorsements and nearly 6,000 downloads, it's a niche fix for players who find the default animation lacking. Last updated in 2008, it remains a simple, targeted improvement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download and install, no bloat.
- Directly improves a janky animation that stands out in vanilla.
- Has a decent endorsement ratio (135) for its niche purpose.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects standing power attacks, not other hand-to-hand moves.
- Old mod from 2008, might conflict with other animation overhauls.
- No compatibility info provided, so test with your mod list.
This is for Oblivion players who use hand-to-hand combat and are bothered by the unrealistic standing power attack animation. If you're a brawler-type character or just want more immersive melee, this is a quick fix. Not for players who rarely use unarmed combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a comprehensive animation mod, install this after it to ensure it takes priority.
- Test the animation in third-person view to see the difference clearly.
- Since it's an OMOD, use OBMM or a mod manager that supports OMODs for easy installation.
