Norn is apparently the only race in the game that swings a great sword with 1 hand. Is this how the animation is intended? They swing their hammer with both hands…why would they swing their greatsword with one hand?

From what I have heard, a great sword in reality is not actually anywhere near as heavy or difficult to swing as movies and video games would have us believe.

And of course, as Chessrook said, norn

As long as you and Chessrook enjoy swinging a two handed weapon with one hand thats all that really matters. However to me the animation just doesnt flow, it’s the only race that swings a two handed weapon with one hand not to mention they swing a hammer with both hands….i just think that the animation is not the way it was supposed to be. But if more people like the animation more power to them….but for me this animation is the reason why I didn’t roll a norn.

I found this site really informative and nice.

Just to read about greatswords – got nothing to do with the animation here, some poses pretty much on the bottom on the page.

I’m fine with the animation.

“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
