I've been playing Oblivion for two years now and tonight I was just wondering, staring at my Bosmer in the inventory screen: why is he standing so ridiculous? So I searched here and found this. Amazing! Thanks.
Dude its an idle animation unless u plan on fighting without the mouse and dont move around then and only then will ya see the difference in animation
As I mentioned on the main forums this is a request mod, I'm aware that when you move the player raises their arms again, soon as you stop moving they lower their arms in the default idle again. (I've been working with idles/animations for months now with other mods). I didn't like the effect this creates. (Unless your constanly holding the block button the player drops their gaurd everytime they stop moving) As well because this doesn't touch the hth animations it will work with things like Sephs hand to hand animations mod . For me constantly standing in a half crouch when the bow is not in use in your hands makes no sense to me. This is why the bow idle was replaced. As well you can turn the feature on and off by equipping and unequipping the item. But variety is the spice of life if you like that idle or stance when your not using your bow, and don't use hth then this mod may not be for you as I stated in the readme.
At any rate thanks again for sharing the info I'm not putting your suggestion down simply explaining why I did things as I did.

If you think you can do better by changing your global game settings, then do it for yourself. If you know anything about modding, you know that quite a few modders' works simply highlight features that are already in the game but no one has thought about making it a permanent feature. Did you have your character in dummy mode before Dereko posted this mod? Or did you figure out another way to do what's being done just for the sake of argument. Leave a GOOD MOD alone.
I give it a 10!
It's something that has always bothered me. In fact, my wife and I make that floaty Hand2Hand motion when we think something is "stupid". ---------------------------------------------------------------
Im sorry if ive made u think that i dislike this mod in any way but i was just expressing the situation had u taken my tip its really not so bad and it will only happen if u do absolutly nothing and will also probably that u dont intend on fighting anyway, but i could understand y you keep it that way its just i rarely use hth and well this tip was intended to those who take the same my perspective as me
