Revert Animation Changes

[Maroon]

Donnu what it's all about, i'm fine with these Animations, don't have any probs with the One Hand Stab, i like it and didn't feel like beeing ghost-stabed by nords or any other probs. It's fine.

Illogically slow Two Hand Slash? Well, the way how the chars are holding their 2h weapons, you know, hands at the really buttom of the handle... the lever Act is working against you if you try to slash that way wich makes the whole thing quite slow and exhausting, i think the slow animation tries it's best to represent these circumstances. You actually can try this yourself if you got a Sledgehammer at home and hold it like the Chars trying to get a quick slash out of it.

It would actually cost more energy to keep the weapon at a slow speed like in the current animation. The center of gravity of the weapon is closer to the sharp end of the weapon (or heavy end with a sledgehammer), so if you arc the weapon from over your head, gravity would actually speed the weapon up, resulting in a fastmoving weapon. Of course, the preparation to slashing should be rather slow, like you said, because you're holding the weapon at the end, but as soon as you swing the weapon down, it'll pick up a lot of speed, especially heavy weapons like a sledgehammer.

Also, as your weapon speeds up in the act downwards, the control over the weapon gets less, because it's moving faster, and it's quite hard to restrain a weapon moving down fast. So stopping the weapon like it's done with this animation (about halfway through the swing) would cost you even more energy. Once the weapon has picked up the speed using gravity, you'll want to use that speed to cleave your enemy in two, instead of stopping after 10cm of enemy.
Those are a few of the reasone why I'd like to see this animation changed . But thanks for your input
