I was wondering if anyone knew of a mod out there that would replace the hand to hand punching animation with the claw attack animation used by werewolves and vampire lords. The reason I ask is that I'm playing a vampire, and I always thought that, having claws themselves, it'd be much more realistic for my vampire to slash instead of punch. There have even been mentions of vampires using their claws in the game (one of the npc's in castle volkihar mentions it at least).

It'd also help with Argonians and Khajiits, because the way i'm looking at it, they're sort of just punching with their hands open instead of really slashing, aren't they?

Come to think of it, Argoninan and Khajiit claw attacks are at least a lot better than normal punches. If there's no way to replace the punching animation with the WW/VL animation, is there a way to replace it with the beast race claw animation? Sounds much simpler, probably could be done by simply replacing a file or something, though I wouldn't know exactly how.

There is an unarmed animation replacer for humans to use Khajiit claw attacks and vice-versa. I use it, but I forgot what it's called. It's a pain to search for it on Nexus.

Thanks for the info! Just a second ago (after fruitlessly scouring the entire animation section on Skyrim Nexus) I found thread concerning that mod. Apparently its hidden on Skyrim Nexus for now. Oh well, thanks anyway!

Ah, okay. I did try to search for it on Nexus and nothing showed up. Probably explains it.

But seriously, they really need to fix that search engine.

"cloaks skyrim" shows nothing at all. It's terrible!
