Changelogs
Version 3.0
Removed identifier txt files from DAR folders as some users experienced issues with them; all info is now contained in the readme file
Added additional animations for Kaidan, including Leviathan II updates for movement and idle variation
Added animations for Rosalind
Removed the flexing animation as it wasn't quite working the way I had hoped; I think CHIMGarden's gesture animation remix update fills the gap nicely by adding some more variety to Kaidan. If you want it back in, you can manually download v2.0 from the old files, and copy and paste folder 777020 into the _CustomConditions directory of my mod.
Version 2.0
Adjusted frequencies of some animations, added additional animations
I wanted Kaidan to move uniquely in my game, and everyone's favorite Akaviri boyfriend should look as cool as possible at all times. This mod gives him his own unique 2-handed sword fighting style, dagger attacks, archery style, sneaking, various idles, sit animations, and a few bonuses. All credit for creating the animations goes to the original creators, and of course LivTempleton for creating Kaidan in the first place.
You need to have Dynamic Animation Replacer or Open Animation Replacer for this mod to work. You do not need FNIS or Nemesis for this mod to work, but it fine to use them alongside if you use other mods that need them.
