Battle Revamp Worries Options

[Intestinal Chaos]

The new battle system revamp sounds wonderful to me don't get me wrong... but it sorta puts me on edge. What if it gets a little too strategic?, the battle system might be a little over involved... The old system made fighting something you didn't think about too hard.

But I have faith in Bethesda, and their revamps have never done me wrong. I'm probably just worrying over nothing.

I'm glad its being redone, this will make combat more exciting, more aniamted, more real. You'll actually have to block and swing, see your opponent's blood coat your blade after running them through.

And, if one can't handle close-range combat, theres always Bows and magic!

Bows, should be somewhat similar to morrowind, but with the new physics for the arrows.


Magic, i don't know much beyound that you can cast with weapons equiped (will use off-hand if it is free, weapon hand if not), armor will reduce magic power some (*grumble*), and such.

But, in all, i'm pleased with what i know.

Oooh! We can cast with weapons equipped?! *squeals* That's awesome!

Armor will reduce magic? Aw, poor people who often use armor (I never do, so I wouldn't know what it's like)! I can see in a way, that it's balancing in combat... but, kind of restricting, ya know?

Oh! One thing I do not like is that they combined short sword skill and long sword skill into one skill. There would be less skills! Unless they made a new magic school called Necromancy or something cool with more interesting skills, eh? (I've played the Daggerfall demo, and they had a lot more skills! Or at least, more deeper skills...)

Anyway, I'm glad that they are changing the combat system. We need it to be more involved, so I'm hoping for more intensive (and fair!) battles.
