📋 About This Mod
Animation replacer for Skyrim inspired by The Elder Scrolls Online animations. Covers animations related to melee combat movements and sheathed movements.
TESO Animations - Dragon Knight replaces vanilla movement animations in Skyrim Special Edition with Elder Scrolls Online-style animations for sheathed, unarmed, torch, one-handed, greatsword, and battleaxe/warhammer states. No DAR or OAR required for the main file, but an optional block direction fix requires OAR. With 172 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche but appreciated animation overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- No DAR or OAR needed for the main replacer—just drop it in and go
- Covers a wide range of weapon types, so your character moves consistently across combat styles
- The optional block direction fix is a clever touch that makes blocking feel more dynamic
⚠️ Cons
- The optional block fix requires OAR, which adds an extra dependency if you want that feature
- Only replaces movement animations—don't expect combat or idle changes here
- Compatibility with other animation mods could be a concern since it overwrites vanilla movement
For Skyrim players who want their character to move like an ESO Dragon Knight without needing a complex animation framework. If you're into immersion and want more fluid, MMO-style movement, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for combat overhauls or if you prefer to keep vanilla animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the main file doesn't need DAR or OAR, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 is still recommended for easy uninstallation.
- If you want the block direction fix, make sure you have OAR installed and load this mod after other animation mods to ensure it takes priority.
- Check the demonstration videos linked in the description to see exactly how the animations look before you commit—this helps you decide if the style fits your game.
