IDEA!!!! Call it a Temporal Distortion And it causes an infulx of energy from the Nirn sun(dimension thing) and you either move fast or time slows down for you...Now it's not bullet time!!!!

So if I don′t like a feature I should just never use whatever it is tied to, even if it has prospects I like ? So let′s say each time you cast a spell 100 adoring fans would pop up, with 10 spells you′d have 1000 of them lagging up your game screwing everything up, but it′s oki, if you want to be a mage you can just skip casting spells.

Slowing down time reduces coordination because you′re doing something really fast in fluid motion and all of a sudden you do something that slows everything down (including you) when it stops you are suddenly a lot faster than you are now used to being after getting slowed down. There is nothing wrong with slowing down things around you where you yourself can run around at normal speed, but when you yourself get slowed down because you wanted to let′s say use a spell you need to take on a dragon... that′s bad.

Oh and to the "cut scene" thing is a bit poorly worded yes. I meant it like since you slow down there is little to nothing you can do, just watch and wait for the impending doom since you won′t be as ready to take on whatever is coming at you as you would have been if you had not been slowed down.

If I can toggle the bullet time thing off in the options then I′m fine, but if not then development time was just spent on a bad feature many will just have to wait for others to spend time to remove, like smearing dirt on a product you sell someone just so they have to clean it off or have someone clean it off.

-If you are using a two handed weapon then you use Left Trigger to block and Right trigger to attack, however if you have a one handed weapon in one hand and a spell in the other, you won't be able to block - left trigger will then be a spell and right will be attack - it is done to make you play more stratigically - be more offensive, defensive, magic based etc.

All shouts slow down time?

-There will be some enchanted weapons which don't tell you what they do - so you'll know it's magical in some way but you won't know how exactly, you'd have to find out yourself - (this would most likely apply to the things you find in dungeons, ie people wouldn't know about it so the PC wouldn't either untill it's used)

So todd said "left trigger" is to block unless you have a spell equipped. This confirms that weapon has to be in right hand and spell has to be in left hand.

Wait! If you have a spell and a sword you can't block because you're "playing offensively", but can block with two weapons or a two handed weapon because that's not playing offensively!?!? This along with the spell making issue has just about completely taken Skyrim off of the pre-order list.

...like no one would block with their weapon? Even Oblivion had that! Further proof that Bethesda has more or less nerf'd Mages. Bethesda has designed Skyrim around melee an dragonshouts and if you want to roleplay as something other than a fighter [preferrably Nord], then you'll find yourself making sacrifices. [...like of yourself to your enemy's attacks]

Oh my god. I figured out where you're confused. Only one dragon shout slows time. That's the whole point of it. The 19 or so others won't affect time in any way at all.

What the [censored] ! Don't you know what dragon shouts are? Have can you be on this forum and not know what dragon shouts are !?
My God....

The shout isn't called Bullet Time Shout, btw -- that's just something the magazine journalist used to describe it to his FPS fan readers.

Obviously sarcasim was missed on you but hey it's all good tiger!
Then again it could have just been a S**t post on my part

You're misinterpreting it. Spells are treated almost like a one-handed weapon... And what the article is saying is that you can't block with one-handed weapons - only with a 2-handed weapon (and as was pointed out previously, at reduced efficiency) or with a shield. So as a mage, you can either put a shield spell in your other hand (for magical use) or an actual shield (for mundane blocking) if defense is a priority. It makes perfect sense to me, and doesn't in any way sound like it's biased against mages to me.

I don't think he's confused. Just whiny. He's under the impression that if a spell could summon 100 Adoring Fans then he couldn't be a mage, despite the fact that he could just avoid casting that particular spell

There are 20 dragon shouts, the "bullet time" dragon shout is one of them if you dont like it use the other 19.

In regards to blocking witha one handed sword. Try stoping somone from hiting you with a giant two handed axe with just one arm. Also blocking with your sword is a good way to get it broken or at least very badly damaged very quickly. I do think though that you should be able to parry non power attack blows from one handed wepons.
