» Sat Aug 21, 2010 1:33 am I started wondering, seems to me when a person picks up a new weapon to fend something off, the first instinct is to swing it as hard as you can egainst what you're facing. As time goes by, and as you get used to the weapon, you learn to control it, to let it do the damage it was meant to do, and get more efficient with your strikes for both energy consuption, damage done, and hitting your mark where you want to hit it.
Since most games make you start off with light, controlled strokes, and you later learn power attacks, I am wondering if anyone agrees that this learning process is inverted. shouldn't inneficient power attacks be the first strokes learned, then controlled strokes, then more efficient attacks and power attacks be learned in that order?
Probably very much too late but it would be cool if Skyrim would have Novice level melee fighters do broad, energy-inefficient strokes, and learn the quick strikes at Apprentice, or as a perk? Or would you think it too much of a hassle for starting characters?
Any thoughts?
