A Small Commentary by Todd Howard

Now your stuck

My stuck what?

I think what your saying is another reason they were merged, to help take away the enchantment abuse, that with the extra AI on screen, and I think they're justified.

Every slot you have can hold an enchantment. I had a set of Amber armour, all enchanted with 20% chameleon. Five x 20 is 100, I was invisible at all times.
Less slots mean less to enchant which means less to abuse.

There was actually a ward spell used at E3. The Turn Undead Ward, where he made that circle around him and all of the Draugr ran away.


I believe that was just the "Turn Undead" spell and not actually a ward/shield that Todd was talking about. Although I could be wrong.

Im pretty sure he said something along the lines of "This is a ward spell which makes the undead flee from you"

Not in those exact words, of course.

abuse: To use wrongly or improperly


They let it happen for at least to games so it was not wrong or improper

They are removing it now because just like in da2 (removal of companion armor) and Me2 (removal of all loot) people dont want choices, they want pow awesomeness, not looking at 8 armor pieces and actually determining what would make their character better.

They cant say its about what is shown when other companies are doing the same exact thing and are actually telling the truth about it

Your using someone's past actions to justify a dispute of their current actions. Can you not see how fallacious that logic is or are you having trouble seeing past yourself?

They can be the same thing, you know. I'd very much prefer restrictions that make for more challenging gameplay to more customization that breaks the game. Personal taste ftw.

The tidbit about ward spells is very interesting. Thanks OP!

I'm very curious to learn of those two other questions now.
