Remains to be seen I guess if they watched fighting technique movies:

or showoff freestyle movies:

I prefer proper techniques on the field during fighting, but it would have been awesome to visit the arena and just sit there watching showoff moves with a weapon, like it was a competition rather than a fight Just tons and tons of motion captures of katas and showoffs of precision and speed

yeah they should be one handed, and look at the liches in oblivion they use one hand for the staff

man that part of the video where his eye was closed then opens, i thought it was his mouth

Staff is probably considered a 2h for purposes of skill and idle animation and 1h for purposes of combat animation..

Tap is melee swing with perks to kd and kb..
Hold is using staffs magical enchant..
Block is well block..

And why wouldn't the oh staff of destruction enhance the main hand spell of fire?!

id like mage staffs which are two handed. they could work this way: with a staff equipped, you can still have 1 (or maybe even 2) spells equipped, and fire them off through the staff for enhanced effect or lower mana cost. staffs could vary in strength and some could maybe even enhance your magical skills or mana regeneration etc. cool? :hubbahubba:

Magic staves is a cool thing, my guess is that staff will be one handed.

According to concept art form bethesda that shows dude fighting with staff and sword, staffs are one handed.

harry potter style staffs or should I say wands? ^^

I want a mod that makes the one-handed staff doubles as a fencing tool.

i think what they were saying was like in oblivion you only cast spells with ur left hand will in skyrim u can put a spell on either hand but by doing so u cant hold a weapon or shield

srry if this has already been said i only read the first few posts
