I have some questions and speculation........

[NAPALM13092]

 

It sense that they might cut Hand to Hand, it was unused by many. Athletics could be merged with Acrobatics but not Hand 2 Hand.

 

I reckon they cut, Mysticism, Hand to Hand and Acrobatics, and merged Mercantile into speechcraft.

 

Remember there has to be 6 Combat skills though. They cannot cut both Athletics and Hand-to-Hand that would only leave 5 skills so one is staying in either it's original format or changed in some way.

 

I also think Acrobatics will stay or be merged with something else because of the dodges, backflips, and rolls you could do in Oblivion at Journeyman level were too cool to drop. Acrobatics was also a fairly popular skill nothing like Destruction or Blade but a lot of people still used it unlike say Hand-to-Hand or Speechcraft.

I agree, I personally think that acrobatics, hand-to-hand, and athletics should all be merged into one skill.Then you could have three perk trees for that skill too.I don't know what a skill like that could be called though.Unarmored perhaps?

I was thinking a name like finess or body finess, because they all are sort of body strenghth/endurance.

I really hope they improve Hand-to-Hand in this game.

 

Imagine killing a dragon with your bare hands.

That's part of why I loved playing without weapons, and just using fists or spells.

[Sketchy77]

Yeah,

 

Fitness makes sense.

 

Maybe your right.

I pulled this off of Skyrim Wiki. It describes a perk called Dragon Shouts.

 

"Dragon shouts (Dovahzaan) are described as battle cries spoken in the native language of the dragons. There are over twenty different dragon shouts to be gained throughout the game, and they become more effective as the player absorbs the souls of slain dragons. A minority of non-player characters also have the ability to use dragon shouts."

 

Even though they will be pulling some things out of the Skyrim that we had in Oblivion. I do like the fact that Skyrim isn't a continuation of Oblivion, and they've made it into it's own game. The way it's meant to be.
