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.

Haven't posted here but I will now.

Oblivion strides for a combination. Certain dungeons are supposed to be a challenge, as in a CHALLENGE no matter how much time you put into it. Like, honestly it won't be that hard to hit your opponent, and when you do your stats will determine how well you did. The difficulty comes in tactics, and even then, tactics only work as a leveller. By this I mean if you put a lot of time into your character's skills then you won't need to know much more than when to block and when to attack. The combat system does not transform that into a player-skill based game. However, if you do know tactics in battle and can think on your feet, using the environment to your advantage, then you can go farther with a weaker character. In short, it's the best of both worlds.
