eshesj Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 First of all, sorry if my engIish is abit lacking. But I wanted to share my idea with modders who working on improving skyrim combat. I think everyone would agree that Skyrim melee combat is still very boring even with dodging, move cancel mods etc. Although I am not a modder, I tried to find solution from other games which appear less difficult to make as mod. There is a game which unfortunately stopped devepment called Mabinogi 2 Arena, and it has something called rock scissor paper mechanic for weapon attack grab and kick. What does is that, kick or other hand to hand move will always land first and stagger opponent using weapon attack at the same time but will always lose against grabbing. If opponent is grabbed, you could hit opponent multiple times with lmb, throw the opponent to the ground with rmb etc. On the other hand grabbing will always lose to weapon attacks and get staggered. This new mechanic seems very intuitive, and could break the endless block dodge power attack combat of skyrim. My second idea (which can be used together with rock scissor paper mechanic) is creating momentums for new moves, somewhat similar to Tekken. For example, when player sneaks or stands up from sneaking, there is very short momentum of getting down or rising. I would add lifting attacks while rising or sit down attack (change opponent to sneak mod) while getting down, and more devastating effects for power attacks (higher lift, knocking down etc.). There are so many other momentums which are intuitive and can be filled attacks or power attack. For example, after fast roll, while or after tk dodge, while getting up form the ground, when start sprinting, jump rise, jump falls etc. Also, I personally wish that the sneak attacks should go through standing blocks and can only be blocked while sitting (since they're pretty useless anyways when spotted by enemy). Sneak power attacks should always stagger opponent standing, so that there actually is some use for sneak or fast roll during combat. I also think behind attacks from dark souls would work well in skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
