The combat on this game is terrible.

It's definitely improved in some areas compared to previous Elder Scrolls titles, but I agree that the series's combat overall is indeed terrible.

I remember coming back to Skyrim after a few weeks of Dark Souls and immediately asking myself how I managed to play this game for so long before. I got used to it eventually, but damn was it annoying. I wish the Elder Scrolls would bring combat tumbling and rolling back as an alternative to blocking. That's probably my biggest gripes with the combat system. (Not to mention the removal of underwater combat, removal of mid-air attacks, no reaction to damage save for power attacks, etc.)

It's fine, the problem is that you're spoiled and entitled.

Exactly.

Skyrim mechanics > the horrible mess that was Oblivion's mechanics.

That kind of comment is both short sited and stupid. perhaps your entitled to make illogical statements.There is a problem.

I agree and disagree with your statement.Yes the game is massive,but the combat is no small part of the game.

I'm pretty happy with it as it is. I might be in the minority, but I could do without anymore blood. The little squirts and splashes are ok, but Savage Strike is one perk I wish I never took. Loved my dual dagger assassin and the kill cams of her sneaking up from behind and slicing her victim dead, then I took that perk for the 25% boost. Yuck! lol

:wink_smile: I quite like the combat. Though it should feel a bit more realistic with contact sometimes, it can

sometimes feel like slashing but I get over it quick enough. I def don't think it's "terrible" though.
