When reading through muchacho's RockPaperShotgun preview, I noticed this:

 

We start dual-casting spells too – at the moment, it’s just one in each hand, fired separately, but there is a perk available that lets you combo both hands into one mega-spell.

 

Huh? So you can't cast with both hands at once right from the start?

 

Oh, and also to block and bash, plus set enemies on fire for extra damage. They’re not mere light sources any more.

 

So you can block with a torch but not with a one-handed sword? That makes sense. :/

@DCDeacon Thanks! So if you have a 1 hander in your right hand, will LT perform a block if nothing is equipped in left hand?

I think you can't bash though.

I think without the perk, you can still use both at the same time, it just won't be substantially stronger. I'm just guessing though, so I'm not sure. I don't get what's confusing people about blocking though. I thought we were all on the same page with that...

 

@Camonna-Just looked up HVD and holy crap, that makes Blu-ray look like a chump! Hopefully someone picks up the tech and starts producing public products for it so Blu-ray stuff will get cheaper...

Back in the 80s it was mostly consoles for gaming, those in their late 20 and 30s everyone had ataris and NES. Or amigas and Sinclairs. PCs were quite expensive in those days. 66Mhz 486s and then the P1s were like £800. so it's cheaper now for a PC, which are over 1000 times more powerful (lol not even exaggerating that number)

I wasn't fortunate to own a pc or pc wannabe, but played them a lot toward the late 80s. Either through friends or family. Cammadore 64?! I can remember playing Intelevision too. Ahhh the good ol' days. Not to mention 80s/90s cartoons!

Kamehameha?

 

 

Kamehameha/Hadouken hehe, that's exactly what I thought when he slowed time and killed that Draugr Lord (or whatever) in that demo.

 

Cannot wait to see the rest of the shouts!

 

I believe we've seen.

 

 

Slow Time

Stormcall

Fire Breath

Unrelenting Force

Speed Rush???

 

I feel like I've missed some... :s

[AltreU]

Sometimes, I wish there was a like button.

 

 

@Frutzk-I think that's all of the current confirmed shouts.

 

 

Have there been any articles detailing archery perks?

As i said, perks will make non offensive skills useful for killing, i think the devs are focusing on the pure thief, the real pure thief, a pure stealth character.

 

Though the dagger is still considered a one-handed weapon skill, the perks for the weapon are housed under the stealth banner.

This way a pure thief is a true stealth character, that is fantastic while killing in the shadows, even if he is not as well trained in one handed as an assasin or a warrior. But if he is found in the open he will have a hard time as he is a thief, not a assasin or a warrior. For what i can see the pure thief will be a viable class and lots of fun, maybe not the best one to fight dragons and giant spiders, but pure warrior are not the best at picking locks and looting the neighbourhood without being noticed.

 

And i'm sure poisoning by pickpocket and stealthy daggers are not the only weapons given to the pure thief by perks, even there might be stealth perks for the bow.

Holy crap! I totally spaced that daggers are under Stealth, not One Handed, and that pickpocketing poison was available in the perk tree. Thanks for reminding me! That pretty much solves the offense problem...*STABSTABSTAB*

 

I can deal with Archery being under the Warrior as long as there's a real weapon under the Thief.
