Axes aren't considered a blunt weapon.

Discuss.

And that is the only reason why, is it? :confused:

It's the only reason he could think of.

Maybe he ain't escaped the execution bit yet.... like, not got properly into Skyrim yet.

Among the dozens of improvements :banghead:

#1 means number one people. Not one, number one.

Uhm, its "the number one reason", not "the only one". :b

Anyhoo, in my opinion its the gameworld itself. So much more immersive and believable, glitchy things aside.

Exactly.

He also stated its THE number 1 reason why.... if that is what makes it better for some, i'm glad im on planet earth.

Well atleast some people have good things to say about Skyrim, the forums are an absolute heavyhanded cryfest about how bad this game is, when most games that come out nowadays have 1% of the depth of any TES game (EVEN OBLIVION)

I agree, what an amazing improvement. This alone takes it from not just being better than Oblivion, but the best game of all time.

Axes aren't blunt weapons, i love you.

For me it's just...fun.

I couldn't play more than 30 mins or so of Oblivion back in the day. I've clocked over 100 hours in Skyrim to date.

Besides, there is no Blade, Blunt, Dagger etc classes is there? Just 1 handed, and 2 handed. I'm thinking off the top of my head here, not been on it for a few days.

I can't believe you guys have been dragged into this topic :biggrin:

Wait... oh, damn it!

Clearly, it's not thee only one.

But I wouldn't even have it as number one in a list of many. Fixed level scaling, no more psychic guards, Daedric quests are more....interesting and surprising....

There are quite a few that would be ahead of this one in my eyes.

Yeah, I can't believe Bethesda didn't do anything about the hovering items, didn't they play the game at all before release? I come across floating weapons and stuff all the time. And why do I fly 200 metres up into the sky when a giant smashes me? Just like all the small details making the game more beautiful, there are many small things that are just annoying.

While the random encounters are pretty cool, I've already gotten the "Redguard woman" one like five times. Getting the same encounters over and over and at the same spot makes the game feel less organic. Also, I don't like the principle of random, unnamed NPCs in that sense. In Oblivion, you'd run into someone in the middle of the woods, and you'd be like "Oh, I remember that guy, it's the one from Skingrad! I wonder what he's doing here" - NPCs truly lived their own lives rather than spawn at your leisure. It's become a matter of "serving the eye" as we call it in Sweden.

It might not be the #1 reason, but it sure is a good one. 1h + 2h is a much better choice than blunt + blade, makes far more sense. Nothing like a good ol' axe!

I think some missed my point as it was intended. There is only 2 things that split weapons. 1 handed, and 2 handed weapons. How do you know axe still isn't considered a Blunt weapon?

The #1 reason why it is better is because it is not Oblivion.
If I never play that game again it will be too soon.

This. Foreverrrr. This.

No, he didn't.

Not to sound like an OCD [censored], but he didn't

*edit*
Oh, doosh is censored. Anyway

Because Axes perk causes bleed (edged weapon) whereas blunt smashes armor (maces).

I'm not trying to sound all OCD here either...but...

''#1 Reason Skyrim is better than Oblivion. ''

That translates as, [the] Number One Reason Skyrim is better than Oblivion.

Correct?

Incorrect

In any case, why would "the" mean only one, when it is clearly numbered, implying more? Just walk away man

Think before you post please. If he put the title as ''1 reason Skyrim is better than Oblivion'' ...sure it would be '' A '' reason, not the first. #1 Actually is interpreted as Number 1

''#1 Reason why Skyrim will win GOTY'' - ''Number 1 reason why Skyrim will win GOTY''.
