In third person the felling axe now chops on your body, and the chop lands on the tree you are looking at, including thin ones. The bearded axe, the bronze axe and the greenstone war axe got the same chop fitted to their shorter handles, and the stone axe you start with can fell trees too, which makes five axes in the family.
None of these swings was animated by hand. The system that built the felling axe’s chop built the rest from each axe’s own measured shape and weight, and it knows where you actually hold the knives, dagger, sickle and mallet, so it will not give those an overhead two-handed swing when their turn comes.
A swing at nothing follows through in front of you instead of stopping dead in the air. Aim at a rock or the ground within reach and it still stops where it lands. The body will not strike behind itself.
