Yes, I honestly think this. People need something to cry about...and spears is one of them.

Well I don't use swords, so they serve no purpose to me, so they shouldn't be in the game.

So there.

No. OP said he wanted light, medium, and heavy armor type versions of every single armor. For example, he wants a light, medium, and heavy version of Daedric armor. That's not going to happen. There will still be heavy and light armor...just not both heavy and light versions of each armor set.





I agree. Lets remove swords. And blunts weapons. And bows. Lets remove combat from Skyrim, shall we?

I would most definitely use spears. So am I no one? Jerk . . .

And, you know what, I don't use blunt weapons, so let's just get rid of them. Oh, and stealth too, because I never use that either.

It's confirmed that spears are not going to be in the game. So lets not complain. At least it was confirmed.

Nords (Vikings) are masters with spears, be it with a shield 2 handed etc...

Spears are a very versatile weapon, they could either be used as a sort of 300 style poke and throw, or even an oriental martial form which involves sweeps and in general very powerful attacks and coverage!

I WANT SPEARS DX

Also, with the armour variances that would be cool but certain items i.e. Fur Armour should not be allowed to be Heavy Armour, perhaps Light and Medium.

Whereas other armour forms such as Steel can be all 3 (you wear less)

Hopefully Pauldrons, Belts Capes and other accessories make an appearance letting you customize your character even more

I am pretty sure that there will only be an "Armor" skill and you define what type to specialize in through perks.

well then you know how people who loved spears feel. if you told me pre oblivion that they would cut the amount of weapons in half I would never have believed you, nor would I if you told me they would cut any weapons. until then I thought bethesda was about adding more to their games rather than making room for astetics.

Lol wow... this topic is great, never actually thought there were people against spears... or is it all for the sake of an argument?

Oh gotcha.. that's a tad ridiculous haha. Who would possibly say "hey I made this suit of armor..why not make a lighter version and a heavier version! Or two heavy and heavier versions! Or two light and lightererer versions!"

That's not realistic. Even for TES.

ppl who disagree on the implement of spear in the game are idiots,why?because they already have the weapons they like in the game,so they wont care that much,haha imagine bethesta take away two handed sword,axe,swords,they would be rageeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yea spear is awesome,i use them in any game if its available,if not i would just stick with halberd or swords

A lot of people want spears.

You're wrong.

I'd like to see spears, but I wouldn't go as far as to call them one of the coolest things one could have in Skyrim, and in any case, they're not going to be in the game, and that's really all there is to it, I highly doubt anything we say now will change it for Skyrim, so while I certainly would like to see spears, I realize it's not happening.

I wouldn't compare magic and spears.....more like fire magic and spears....for example

Yes add The Legendary Spear of Bitter Mercy (TLSoBM) too for argonians only
I would use them once again
EDIT:I think I am high

:facepalm:


Not this [censored] again

Ay we are many and our numbers increasing.

Is this intentionally ironic?

"We are so pissed off, grrr! Why won't you all stop asking us every day about spears in Skyrim? There will be no spears because nobody wants them!"

But anyway, problem is that Todd is in charge, Todd likes Xbox360, and Todd decides what's thrown out of the game and what's left on a basis of Todd liking it or not. Players have little to no say in this.

I've said this thousand times before:
Why don't we have spears? Because nobody could make it work right, without making it under or overpowered or just plain wrong.

Could they make it work if they've concentrated enough on it? Sure, but they'll rather work on something more important than that... like, I dunno, the rest of the game...

Players are the ones who buy the game. :shrug:

If Bethesda doesn't give players what they want, they could end up losing a lot of thier customers. Also, MK, this is different to fast travel, quest markers, etc. This isn't a gameplay mechanic that affects the whole game. This is merely a weapon type.

On another note: what is the standard usage of spears in real life? Have they been thrown weapons or melee weapons? Todd said they weren't added in the usual sense (or something along them lines). Perhaps we'll only have them as ranged/melee weapons.

I'll be buying it regardless.

Besides, they are adjusting the game for the biggest chunk of audience and that are casual players not unlike Todd. So when they throw stuff out they actually ARE giving what people want.



Anti-cavalry, wall of spikes to keep infantry at a distance.

He probably meant throwing spears from Fallout NV.

But will you continue to buy the game after a good few games, when they've cut the skills down to "armour, weapon and magic"?

Extreme case there, but I think you get my point.



I don't actually get this. I know many of the more casual gamers. Every single one has said that they didn't like Oblivion, and don't plan to buy Skryim. Or any Elder Scrolls, for that matter.



So.. We're likely to have throwing spears? I'm pretty sure spears are confirmed, in one way or another.

I never enjoyed NV much, and didn't get very far, so I'm not sure about the spears there.

Yes... Because implementing polearms and various animations for polearms is sooo hard, and would completely deplete ones budget. I mean... It's not like a 5+ year old game *cough* Morrowind *cough* had them or anything.

Bethesda is one of the companies that has been around for two decades and just doesn't release bad games (Like Blizzard, for instance). Even if they will cut down everything, I'm pretty sure I will still enjoy the game. I might not like certain aspects, but I will buy it regardless.


"You know". How many people do you know in total? How many of them are gamers? How many of them are casual? Beths are dealing with millions of people and they have to adjust the game towards what the biggest chunk of people wants to see unless they intend to lose money. It's fifty people who don't plan to buy skyrim versus two hundreed thousands who plan exactly because it's being simplified.


No, they are not confirmed. There was a vague reference which can be interpreted either way.

Yeah, it's not like in that game it worked just like every other weapon, except it was extended by a pole...
