They are terrible, especially when your char swings from right to left and has to drop his head so far down he can see behind himself, *** is this crap. Who else finds this too wimpy/anime like?

Yes, they do look pretty stupid.

    Nope, you're right. When swinging a 80+ lb piece of tempered metal, I look like a lumberjack swatting at a fly.

    It looks like you lose your balance every time you take a swing, like Dark Souls weapons do when you aren't strong enough to wield the weapon.

    On a slightly unrelated note, I also don't like how most two hand weapons look more like a canoe paddle than a sword. This is Elder Scrolls, not Final Fantasy.

    I will admit they do look a bit silly but I wouldn't want them changed.

    I'm a pretty strong fella but I think i'd have trouble swinging around that much weight.

    You're thinking of Final Fantasy. Real greatswords (which I assume is what Elder Scrolls is based on, not some anime crap) don't weigh as much as people seem to think.

    This will be a very spit thread soon. 50% people saying big swords look stupid and 50% saying big swords look cool..

    Tbh I dont know how anyone can think walking around with a sword that is as big as a bus could be cool...

    I work in a fairly strenous construction job where I find myself lifting rebar and rivet buster jackhammers for a good part of the day. Metal is heavy.

    Most larger swords don't weigh alot, 10lbs would be the top end max, usually closer to 5-7lbs. I'm not a strong guy but I'd have no problem swinging a 7 lbs sword around.

    I am aware of that. Even so, you can swing 10 pounds without stumbling.

    Not just the swords, but the heavy staff swing looks stupid. It looks like an epileptic swinging a bat. There is no power behind it. I prefer the 1.5.
    The only animation change needed would be to make the user stand upright, not hunched over.
    Fun comes from diversity, balance kills diversity.

    I'm thinking of the huge hammer I have on my Orcs back.

    It's a lot bigger than a sledgehammer and I wouldn't be swinging one of those around like a glow stick.

    You would if you were an Orc.

    Honestly I never thought of warhammers. I was thinking of greatswords (probably the most popular choice, and thus the one the animation team should focus most of their efforts on.) It would be cool to get different animations for different weapon types though.

    Rather limited options here.

    Are you hitting a legitimate target? You should only lose focus on your target if your swing misses.
