📋 About This Mod
Replace Idle and movement for 2H sword stances. Whether you want to call it not lore friendly or unreal, I find it more soothing to watch than the Vanilla. If you still think \"it\'s not how to hold two handed weapon / longsword\" then I my self were surprised that actually this stances is similar to existence in the past and it was called Nebenhut/Pasta coda Longa/Long Tail stances Are you found that you are not in good term with \"Batting stances\" for 2H swords ? I am and I found this mod help a lot ^^ Wait, Did you say you want a masculine female ? Now I provide an alternative idle for it. Make sure you check the optional file NEW 39CUS37Y2tk VhxgQidSXWk It replace this file: Idle Run (forward, forward-left, forward-right) Run (left, right and backward sets) walk (forward, forward-left, forward-right) walk (left, right and backward sets) Sprint Turn (left and right) Attack animations: Left-Right (Hold Ground) Left-Right (Run Forward) Sets of attack motions (for Blend and fluid movement purpose) Forward Power attack - Circle slash (other directions seems good IMO) Future Plan: Unique attack as optional
