since we can dual wield I wish to ask if anyone has any clues about the "way" we are to handle the weapons?

what I mean is that the weapons in OB and MW in 1st person always looks awkward and lame, will it be the case this time in Skyrim?

will we hold daggers for example in a cool way (like dark messiah for example one with hilt pointing up and the other with hilt pointing to one side .... like this http://www.google.cz/imgres?imgurl=http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/article/742/742365/dark-messiah-of-might-magic-20061027053806802-000.jpg&imgrefurl=http://pc.ign.com/articles/742/742365p1.html&usg=__XwvMmUrZMBgeUNtRw1iVxXMy-1o=&h=384&w=480&sz=164&hl=cs&start=26&zoom=1&tbnid=7gBvMSheWwLzbM:&tbnh=151&tbnw=189&ei=Z-M8TYzXDMH-4Abe_emRCg&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddark%2Bmessiah%2Bdaggers%26hl%3Dcs%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D835%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C651&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=611&vpy=374&dur=451&hovh=151&hovw=189&tx=81&ty=114&oei=LeM8Td6fF5GWOtrSkIEL&esq=5&page=2&ndsp=29&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:26&biw=1680&bih=835)

or will we hold weapons like we just had a Lobotomy

such a nice weapon handling stance < no idea what to call it

I think that mace looks kind of lame. In real life, having those blades attached to wooden struts like that would be extremely fragile, compared to a socketed head or even just straight into the handle.

Also, mace doesn't mean "a bunch of tiny axe heads" which is exactly what that looks like. Those are blades, which do not belong on a mace. Maces are either blunt, studded, or spiked. With a weapon like that, you basically get all of the negatives of an axe without the any of the advantages.

indeed

but maybe its a staff or something looks staffy if you look at it differently.

I think the elven mace in Oblivion had blades as well. Still stupid though.

I think those struts may be Dwemer metal. Also the blades seem like the next step from the concept of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flanged_mace.

im going to assume that you will be able to control each weapon differently. And you would be able to attack with 2 weapons at once. Thats just my terrible guess but anyways our next update will be on combat

Whoa what's wrong with the characters left arm in the pic with the sword? Looks bizarre.

It's not attached to wooden struts, that's all metal. Look at it again, it's a sweet looking dwemer (mace?).

When it ceases to be enforced the TES will cease to be an Action/ RPG and will become just an Action Game.




Just goes to show that the average person knows very little about weaponry.
Here, tear Tolkien a new one too for stupid depiction of a mace. :shakehead:

Dunno about looking cool. I think it looks cool when it looks realistic.

at the angle hes holding it for some reason it looks like a staff to me ...

Wyatt, I'd take those links down before you get a warning or ban.

And anyone that quoted them needs to remove them too.

I think that's a shadow going over it.

Not sure about that. The arm looks bent or broken?

I don't know about you guys but I can put my arm in pretty much the same position I am slightly double jointed though so that may have something to do with it.

Posts with GI scans deleted. Don't go there.

ty for that

anyway back to topic check the screens I linked, wouldn't it be cooler to handle dagger like that??? instead of just holding them the same way like your waiting for lunch!
