CamonnaTong Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Look at my above post Pete said that blocking only works with those. Nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Pete replied, yep we can't block while heaving a one handed weapon.Basically this: "Holding LT blocks w/ a shield, torch, or two handed weapon. Holding LT and then hitting RT does a bash."Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimembrain Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 yea .. so I think this is settled? .. No blocking unless you have a shield .. and even then you cant hold it down and guard yourself .. you need to time it right .. its sorta strange coming from oblivion where anything but the bow could block hehe .. but it makes a more strategy based system.

Ghogiel Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm using shield spells anyway. Only worthless cretins get their hands dirty. /Breton or high elf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? I could block with a bow. Don't know why you couldn't. I dont think I ever tried <_<.. I just assumed .. anyways .. "Bethesda has switched to a timing based blocking system that requires players to actively raise their shields to take the brunt of the attack. If you hold down the block button, your character will attempt to execute a bash move. If you catch a bandit off guard with the bash while he's attacking, it knocks him back and exposes him to a counter or power attack. Players can block and bash with two-handed weapons as well, but it isn't as effective as the shield." Thats from the old game informer combat information from way back in the day... just for a little more proof on the blocking system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 No blocking with one-handed weapons or bows?Seems kind of a weird, but I guess it makes sense, it's not like I ever tried to block with the bow or a one-handed weapon in Oblivion.It's weird though that they list Archery with the warrior skills and then make it useless for warriors.

Anyone wanting to do a white bread Thief build would have to pick a Warrior skill if they wanted to do any fighting. Or, I guess they could try the Fallout/Deus Ex approach and beat the whole game with speech checks! ...That would end badly in Skyrim. "Hello there, mister or missus giant spider.
