i really svcks that they took touch spells out of the game. im guessing they did it because they wanted the spell animations to be unique and flamboyant. in oblivion, even though it was very unimpressive to look at, LOVED touch spells as my main form of attack. i didnt use weapons at all after i figured out how awesome touch spells were, i rolled with heavy armor, shield, and my favorite touch spell.
did anyone mod the pc version for using touch spells? i would be willing to toss out money for a gaming pc to have touch spells back in TES.
