Yeah, I could care less about spears, but I know so many of you really want them.

Its old.

They have long axes, nothing else like spears.

A long axe is a halberd, which is a polearm, right?

No it's not.

It's like calling a war-hammer a pole-hammer.

Why aren't there spears in the game?

"Skyrim; spears, halberds, guisarme and many more are added. As for dual wielding, they did more than anyone ever dreamed. You can dual wield more than weapons, you can dual wield spells. Combine two spells of the same type to make a larger version or combine two spells to combine their effects. Shockwave plus a fire spell turns into a huge fire nova."

Highlighted everything wrong about that quote.

Well, in battle, the advantage of using a spear is the ability to inflict precise damage at a long range. A spear carrier is able to attack a sword wielder without being within range of the sword's striking distance.

Okay... got you now. War ax (1 handed) and battle ax (2 handed).

You can't combine two different spells. Only two of the same type.

I was just reading Pete's twitter, another guy asked the same question. Was bullsheeyat

Will we be able to cast both at the same time though? (sorry if this has been said already, but I haven't been on here since around June or July)

Uhh I can't honestly say. Wouldn't count on it though.

Is this confirmed yet? I could have sworn I remember Todd talking about how they don't know what they are going to do with that yet.

Hello.

@DCDeacon I thought there wernt any spears or halberds in the game? thegamerstudio.com/index.php/pc-r…

@IamJodyLee Doesn't read like a preview of someone who actually played the game.

Interesting how he didn’t say the article was wrong, just implied it.

"Shockwave plus a fire spell turns into a huge fire nova"

That's what I find interesting.

Yeah but think about it: would Bethesda keep such an awesome feature to themselves, when they've made such a huge deal about dual-wielding in the PR so far?
