malevolentraven Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I didnt understand your fear about bows till now .. yes there are different bow types .. Ive noticed two from the screenshots we have see .. three counting the bound bow .. and I guess someone complimented an elven bow? .. didnt see that review.. but no worries. I actually didn't see the review either I just seen someone else talk about the review on a different forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hector530 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) That is unfortunate about the short swords imo but as long as the bigger daggers work in a similar way ( do decent damage) then I will be happy. they do the most damage in sneak attacks, times x25 or something like that edit: its x15 and its perk Edited October 14, 2011 by hector530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wanting to dual wield short swords for decent damage and fast attack speed in normal combat. So hopefully there are daggers or swords that can provide this because I don't really want to dw long swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimembrain Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) from watching the videos I think it might be the shield that slows down attacks .. so instead of long and short its just shield or no shield .. but thats just judging by video footage .. but yea .. daggers are a stealth weapon and short swords were dropped I think "not 100% sure" .. but I personally didnt find the attack speed to be fast enough to justify the lower damage in oblivion .. dropping short swords was a good thing imo Edited October 14, 2011 by jedimembrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentraven Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yeah and who knows the attack speed with some poison could be enough for a rogue character to continue using daggers after stealth. Especially after that huge damage bonus from stealth. I don't think the combat in Skyrim will disappoint or at least it doesn't look that way so far.

hector530 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I think short swords didn't have their own class in oblivion it's range was just reduced to .700 and speed was 1.2 or something like that. They could do the same in skyrim but never borthered to call them short swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickFak Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Who cares about useless short swords anyway? Uhm... I'm talking about myself naturally. :whistling: Edited October 14, 2011 by SickFak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klotim Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Well its confirmed that there is long/short swords because you use different skills for both of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalibanX Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Whoa. I too, was planning on using Dual Wield short swords for my first character. Perhaps there's a combat path for dual wielding daggers other than using poison & stealth? I don't think I would enjoy having to repeatedly switch from dagger/stealth attack to swords for each combat. I'd rather just stick to one melee weapon type per character.
