Element115 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Is the combat system going to be better in the sense of fighting with allies against one enemy? Back in oblivion if you were using anything with some range you'd not only kill whatever enemy it was but you'd also hurt/kill your ally, which may end a quest. I hated battles like the battle for bruma cause npc's got in the way of my swing and died, which then gave me more infamy points. I've had to type "resurrect" in the console countless times, enough so that i binded it to a button push. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltreU Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 I think it's due to gameplay balance (and probably a lack of more space to let you parry/block). Dual wielding is probably all out damage (as far as the game goes), so you sacrifice defense for it. That doesn't mean that you can't simply maneuver out of the way of attacks. As for the better NPC question, I remember an article somewhere saying that the AI would be better. That goes for allies and opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlimitedrevolver Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You could always try to script an animation to play after pressing the two attack buttons and add a script increasing defense whenever you press them.Then again I might be wrong. Also doing this depends on whether or not SRSE(Skyrim Script Extender?) gets released for Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1848331User Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 There's a thing called "magnetism" that makes you go for enemies for if you're aiming for them instead of hitting allies (of course, if they get in your way, well, that's still a problem.)

jhardingame Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Read the Skyrim Info thread. It's been confirmed that you cannot block while dual wielding. Dual Wielding =/= equal two handed weapons. I could understand not being able to block while wielding two weapons, but they haven't said anything about two-handed weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omeletter Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You can't block when you have a spell and a sword, too. That means I can't block with my sword alone until I take off the spell from my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
