📋 About This Mod
7/17/2022: Address Library and DAR have been updated for the Anniversary Edition. This mod should work now.
10/03/2022: Todd did it again. He updated the game. Make sure you have the latest update of SKSE here. My mod REQUIRES it.
Description:
It's 2021 and you are supposedly the swolest being on Tamriel but you swing a sword like you have back problems. In fact, you swing every weapon like you have back problems. No more. You are a demi-god. Chosen of Akatosh. Dovahkin strong. Dovahkin smash.
Disclaimer: I am more of an artist than I am programmer. Some things don't work exactly the way I want to because my limited technical knowledge. This is my first mod and I have never used any modding tools and I have never learned how to use Blender or AutoDesk Maya. I learned all of that just to make this mod. I used tools provided to me to the best of my ability and I hope that's enough. Thank you :)

Thanks to the Dynamic Animation Replacer, we can have custom animations for every single different weapon type in the game recognized by the vanilla system.
This mod only changes vanilla animations and does not contain any custom animations so FNIS or Nemesis is not required.
Weapons will feel chunkier, swords will slice and cut, axes will hack, maces will crush, and daggers will stab. NO MORE OF THE SAME. This mod also matches the vanilla timing so you don't have to relearn your weapons.
Installation and Requirements:
[]Dynamic Animation Replacer is hard requirement for this mod. Like hard. Harder than me when I see Chun-Li in her Interpol outfit. So please download DAR and all it's requirements.
[]Download my mod with Vortex/Mod Organizer and install.
[]That's it. No Nemesis or FNIS required
[]This mod also has no ESP or ESL
[]This mod can be uninstalled at any time with no repercussions. No scripts. Doesn't even overwrite vanilla HKX files. My files are kept in a separate unique folder.
[]If you running the 1. 0 version of my mod. Please uninstall the old one and install this one
