:: AXARIEN'S ANIMATIONS - LUCIEN (DAR) - 2.0 ::
A carefully curated collection of animations for the custom follower Lucien Flavius, which apply only to him with Dynamic Animation Replacer.

:: ABOUT ::
Lucien Flavius, your bubbly, cheerful bestie who I felt would add some flair and pizazz to his combat moves: This mod gives him some unique animations focused on his abilities as a mage, warrior, or archer. Also includes idles, sitting, run/sprint, jump.

This mod is immersive and will apply Lucien's animations based on his combat skill level. His new sit, movement, and idle animations are always active. But since Lucien's abilities grow over time, he will not start with fancy casting or fighting animations. You will need to develop his skills to at least 40, which will activate certain style animations. The styles he's not skilling up in will remain with the vanilla animations. So for example, once his magical abilities reach certain levels he will start to look more proficient (and imo, cooler) by using custom animations. There is an optional patch which will activate all the combat animations regardless of his skill level if you prefer the instant gratification route :)

You absolutely must have Dynamic Animation Replacer installed for this to work. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/33746

It is not necessary, but I recommend Animation Motion Revolution. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/50258
