Daggerfalls combat system is one of the reeasons I couldn't play it further than a few hours.. I think it's a terrible terrible system

I think directional combat is better left for the motion control devices. (PlayStation Move and the Wii Motion Plus). It just makes more sense that way and can be implemented better.

Perhaps... But I had no problems with 'Die By The Sword' with just the keyboard (and no mouse ~though it supports one). I would love for them to support that kind of control in a game like TES; I think its perfect for that kind of game.
