Skyrim Information III : V - Skyrim

* 4 skills are removed: Mysticism, Hand-to-Hand, Acrobatics & Athletics.

i assume the removal of Hand-to-Hand skill does not necessarily remove Hand-to-Hand combat from the game, but rather removing the skill to better consolidate combat skills, i.e. putting hand-to-hand perks in the one-handed/two-handed skill 'trees'.

or am i assuming wrong? i hope not, otherwise there goes my monk!

Two Handed now governs HtH, obviously.

That's what happened to the other three, so I'd say so.

Thank you sooo much for all of this information!!!

But one question, are you able to kill children? Cuz that would just be wrong :unsure:

Nope, the children are immortal.

I think it will be one-handed.

You are using each hand individually.

Also, you can equip a one-handed sword, and still attack using your other hand, which is empty. How could that possibly be governed by Two handed?

Hey, my URL is in the topic! Thanks! For those of you going to http://frostywolf.com/index.php/topic,145.0.html for the Skyrim videos, if you scroll to the bottom, you can see AgentMSG has posted a new style or format he is suggesting using spoiler tags. If you could all let me know if you like that better (or worse) then the current format, I'll know if we should change it or not. You can leave a post here or on the website it self.

Also, if you would like to help out by doing piratically nothing, if you click the ad on the top of the page, even if you click your back button right afterwards, it helps out a huge amount!

Yes, Ashley was referring to the Dark Brotherhood.

There is a 45-minute demo and the 30-minute demo, both of which have only been shown to press.

In one area of both of these versions, the PC loots a corpse and finds a letter mentioning the Dark Brotherhood. This was what Ashley Cheng was referring to, not the clip from the trailer. However, the editor of that interview might have inserted that clip deliberately after being informed about the Dark Brotherhood connection.

Also, the January issue of Dutch magazine Power Unlimited contains an interview with Todd Howard confirming the return of the Dark Brotherhood.

Whether they will be joinable or not has not yet been confirmed. Fortunately, the fact that Ashley mentioned them in the same breath as the guild-type factions is a good sign. Hopefully this will get cleared up in the Fan Q&A responses.

Sweet mother, sweet mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear! :ninja:

I wonder if the Dragonborn is the last of the Dragon slayers...
