    I love the animation. Though I wish the 2 handed version showed the character holding the weapon with 2 hands, instead of one. It makes it look like the character is Dante from Devil May Cry performing a stinger move, which is cool for the player, but I don't want NPCs to be able to look that cool.

    In fourteen years since this mod's release and countless reinstalls and rebuilds of Oblivion over that time, this is the one animation mod that I always return to. It's not flashy, it's not feature rich and it's not out of place among the vanilla animations. Given the essence of Oblivion's weapon designs, this simple thrust attack animation suits nearly everything that uses these animation sets and those that don't often have a replacer available that does. Couple with with the equally venerable "Backstab" (Lyobovnik) "One Handed Block With Two Hands" (HagenTronje) and "Weapon Reach And Speed Overhaul" (Isochronon) and you have a simple yet elegant solution to Oblivion's otherwise unsightly weapon animations. Other mods do more and do what they do extremely well, but practically all of them stray too far from Oblivion's vanilla animation style that I feel the game loses that special sauce that makes its clunkiness sort of endearing.

    I now find myself thrusting way too often.

      And I can wonder why.

    I had to stop using Deadly Reflex 5 due to random CTDs along with my other mods. The one big thing I missed from it was the sword thrust animation. So glad this file is up and I hope Skyrim adopts the animation as well!

    Small change but BIG difference. Thanks alot for this animation tweak!
    I hated how the original thrust took soooooo long to complete and soooo long to regain back your composure that by the time I finished I was hit twice by an enemy. I guess, in certain situations the original animation may seem logical but in a "general" sense this new way is more fitting for just about any situation. This is what i call IMPROVEMENT.

    To me, this mod is one more piece of an ever expanding set of mods that bestow upon Oblivion the features of past Elder Scrolls games. Well done.

    Do you anticipate any conflicts with other mods? I'm going to try this regardless.

    I like this mod. However, I have a problem with the animation occuring with blunt/axe weapons besides blades. <img class="> Upsetting, as it looks lame. Perhaps I placed something wrong into my data file folder? Although i doubt it; i have some experience w/ using mods. Comments or confirmation that this happens to others as well? Thanx.

    Uhmm...so the original game has ONE thrust.

    It´s a running, slow, thrust. Everything else is slashing.


    I edited the game to have one more thust, but this time it´s a non-running, quick one.



    But for you, they are all the same. Well, it´s a matter of opinion, I´m just a bit confused, as things you say are not true (that it´s the same), and you even say the original slash is more different from other attacks....although all the other default attacks are slashes, despite that one thrust, which is fundamentally different from mine.

    I mean if one thinks all thrusts are the same, why is that original slash somehow unique? I just added something I felt made some diversity, no one is forced to use it.


    But these are mods, everyone chooses what they use, it´s the beauty of it. It´s just kinda rude to bash someones work just because it´s not for your tastes. <img class=">
