Well? Why are people dissapointed? Personally I don't really mind that there are no spears in the game.

I don't care. It would be nice, but it's just another melee weapon. Not going to fuss over it. Too many people are wanting them to basically copy and paste Morrowind.

I like spears, so I'm disappointed.

It's not rocket science, use some common sense.

I could care less.

Because thats one less playstyle for a series that has Advocated Do anything you want but not everything, Oblivion completely and utterly 180'd on this ideal.

Yeah I think it's because some people like spears where others don't care, like yourself... So uhm... Maybe also just for more options for other people... 'plop' :dance:

People on here just expect that if enough people agree on something, it will be in the game. However in the end, it's Bethesda's game, and everyone on here will play it and probably love it and forget all about the things that aren't in it.

Because there is a thread every 5 seconds to remind people about spears. :verymad:

I like plasma cannons, but Skyrim won't have that either...

I think I should loudly complain.

Given how few spear mods there are for Oblivion, I'm guessing it's just a small but very vocal number of people on the forums. :shrug:

Because all the people who are dissapointed are in fact female argonians, and they want to polish them.

End of the day people want it and they have a right to(Myself included.)

Of coarse on the flip side not having them doesn't damn a game either and your an idiot if you demonize a game for such a reason.

One, I don't complain. I'm disappointed.

Two, a plasma cannon in TES makes no sense, a spear fits perfectly.

Your post lacks common sense of the highest order.

Actually, thats the case.

Many agreed that you couldn't find anything in Morrowind - Magic compass

Many agreed that Spears were exploits, buggy and made everything easy - No spears

Many complained that after a shortwhile one was godlike and no more challenges appeared in Morrowind - Level scaling

Many touted how there were so many useless skillls and how they didn't use half the weapons availible- all we are left with is Swords, Bows and maces in Oblivion.

Many said how exploitable enchanting multiple peices of armor was in morrowind - less armor. less pieces, and enchanting threshold.

Well spears were actually in Morrowind, then removed. So some people used it then and were sad to see them gone. Now how is it plasma cannons are relevant again?

Seriously?

You really believe spears won't be in just because of that?

This is something I really liked from Morrowind and I do kinda wish they would bring back (but I'm not weeping over it, either way).

Why? Simply for roleplay purposes.

- yes, I want my horse to fly, too. And a pet raven . . .

Let's be nice towards each other before it get's out of hand

It just seemed to me like a different way of playing given the stabbing method of attacking. More options equals more longevity equals me being happy. :twirl:

Agree, I mean I never want to use a spear, but they should be in there at the very least for visuals even if they are limited in their gameplay mechanics, I mean come on what guard at the town gate would be without his spear??

Why I want spears?

For the same reason I want axes, lots of alcohol and combat. Because this is Skyrim, land of the Nords. Which are Viking-Inspired. And a Viking without spear is like a viking without mead, without axe, or without fighting. It just seems wrong.

That aside, spears are very logical, cheap, simple and effective weapons. They are, in my opinion, more important than, for example, maces. If I think "mace", I think "high medieval horseman", not "viking".

I don't need to believe its not in because of that, because it already happend. Oblivion yes, Im just sad I can't retrieve early talks about this for you, Spears were buggy and exploitive(by the players motive only) in Morrowind. :confused: so they weren't included.

Then that is just worse, people are perpetuating the argument.
Morrowind
"I hate spears, rid of them!"

Oblivion
"I change my mind, I want spears and I want them now!"

Same thing with many of these other arguments. In the end result, the game may be effected by protest to add/remove something, but it's all Bethesda's decision.

I've kind of wondered about that myself.

I agree with them in principle, just because I like to see as many options as possible, within the confines of the established lore and style of the TES universe. Spears are simple weapons - arguably the first ever invented - certainly dating back to the stone age, and Argonians in particular used spears, so they should be available in the game.

But I've never quite gotten it myself. I've only had one Morrowind character who used spears, and that was only because I played him for so long that he had already mastered short blades, long blades, blunts and axes. There was pretty much nothing else left.... If the controls worked a bit better, then they'd be more usable, but in Morrowind, you had to move forward to thrust, then back up so you had room to move forward to thrust again. Miss the timing and you just swung or chopped, which didn't do any kind of decent damage (and didn't do any kind of decent damage with a halberd either, in spite of the fact that a halberd has an axe-style blade attached specifically so that it can do chopping damage...)

Eh.... if they improve the controls and put them back in the game, that'd be great. If they don't, that's okay.

i think that there should guns, especially ak's
