Combat and its many options

Post » Sun Jul 11, 2010 9:18 am

As pretty much everyone here knows in Skyrim we will be allowed to put any weapon or spell into either hand allowing for many combinations for fighting. Also they aparently set it up so that we can easily switch weapons mid battle with hot keys or something along those lines(probably the directional buttons on consoles.) How do you plan on fighting? Will you dual two battle axes? Put fire in one hand and ice in the other? Or do you have some creative idea that you would like to share?

I have always liked the simple shield in one hand and sword in the other approach and now with shield bashing being added that is now an even better choice for me, though I am very interested in trying to mix the effects of some spells to see what I get as well as trying out different weapon combos.

Creative really:

Bow first. Once I've scored in 1-2 hits I'll switch to:
(possible absorb HP if it exists) and a blade
if not absorb HP then normal heal.

But if it is hard to do "hybrids", then I'll use blade x2

ill probably go nord huntsman first round. light/medium armor with a bow, and an axe in my right hand and short sword or shield in my left for melee. second round, breton mage. maybe a stealthy one after that, but the way the leveling works i may actually just play my first for a long time before playing a second, since i wont have to start a new guy to pick new skills and such.
