Video showcase for first version of this mod, doesnt really show the same because some changes have been made, for example left power attacks and idle stance, you have to test in game yourself to know. Theres only slight change for normal attacks, you might not feel any difference. Movement/swing still vanilla-ish, only reduce the footwork abit makes player doesnt look like loosing balance while swinging.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,888 endorsements and over 56k downloads.
- Covers all the key combat animations: power attacks, normal attacks, idle, and blocking.
- Works across greatswords, battleaxes, and warhammers, so you get more bang for your buck.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
- Only affects third-person animations; first-person players won't see any change.
- Potential conflicts with other animation mods that alter the same weapon types.
For Skyrim SE players who spend time in third-person and want more aggressive, stylish greatsword animations. If you're a first-person purist or don't use two-handed weapons, this mod isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only changes third-person animations, make sure you're in third-person view to see the effects.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure its animations take priority.
- Test with a greatsword, battleaxe, and warhammer to confirm all three weapon types are covered.
