New Combat Moves?

[Venegal]

Have you played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic? Yea sure the graphic sux but is some there who didn't love the combat? Was just Freaking awesome, if someone could change the Oblivion moves to that it would be Legendary.

 

What I'm thinking, Is fitting Single Handed Wpns Combat Moves into DM's Single Handed, And Two Handed Weapons could do good as staves.

 

I know it's hard but I played with all Combat Mods and seen what a great work they've done and in my opinion this ai'nt no harder.

 

Well anyways, :thanks:

Tell modders what Dark Messiah is. Provide links, and you would gain more interest.

Dark Messiah is, Kinda, a Fantasy Role Playing Game in which you play the role of Sareth, trying to bring your father back to life.

 

Though I dont think anyone is intrested in the story aye? So about the combat, there are four basic Weapon Types :

 

Swrods : Swords are the only weapons used Single Handedly and you are able to wear shield with them, basic Sword has three moves, from right side, left side and up to down, which is almost like oblivion, but the main thing is Charge Attacks, if you click on the Attack button and hold it the character will hold back the sword and launch the attack one you release it, this charge can have several positions, if the sword is up your head(See * Pic), with the lenght of it facing out it's a cutting charge, which can cut the opponents arm or head or foots if you aim directly, the other is Stabbing which with you Stab the opponent, the other is Shield bash which you move shield with Sword who almost always knocks the opponent down. if both you and the opponent both launch a Charge attack and these attacks hit each other this happens :

Daggers :

 

Daggers are Weaker than Swords, but very faster, you carry one in each hand, the most common Charge position is the X Position :

There only other charge attack I can think of is that the character hold one dagger down and Throws the other, not sure how it worked though.

Staves :

 

Staves are the two Handed Wpns of the game, they are heavier and slower but have a nice chance of knocking down

The Charge Attacks are three, the first the Character aims the head of the staff at the enemy from the top, then bashes the aimed point with the other end and knocks down with a Right-Left Attack, the other the character swings the Staff, explaining the exact movements is a little hard, so here are some pics :

Sorry to say this but the combat system of Dark Messiah isn't more trilling or original than vanilla Oblivion.

 

There's roughly some nice animations but overall they are the same as Oblivion.

 

If you need nice power attacks there's Weaponskill Powerattacks replacer

 

8 special attacks to choose,wich you can alocat to a different powerattack combinations:forward,left,right,fast forward,fast left fast right,immobile etc

 

You also have some one hand and twohand idle stances wich are really nice.

 

My favorite is the C:

And if you can add some of the DMC stylish animations you obtain something really thrilling to use.

 

Also i recommend Mayus Animation Overhaul,this way you will be the only one to use those powerattacks,no NPC's would use it.
