maybe theyll act as weapons that are built for specific circumstances
like burning away the webs of the giant spiders that live in the crypts, or burning plant like enemies

Zelda did something similar in Ocarina of Time

Really? I never played that game, but it is pretty old, so if their system could handle it, then the Creation system certainly will! But I hope that you can use the torch to fight anybody you face.

If you were in a dark cave filled with giant eight-legged freaks, you might be inclined to take few swings with your torch. I quite like the idea. :smile:

I'm hoping torches as weapons means they're going to be much more necessary because the dungeons are realistically dark this time.

So far all dungeon shots have been pretty bright so I don't know.

Then again, a very dark dungeon doesn't make for good screenshot material.

My thoughts, too.

It seems like torches might be more useful this time around and being able to attack with them is a way to make you feel less vulnerable while one hand slot is being sacrificed for it.

Torch + Sword = Vampire Killing Combination if you don't prefer magic.

Thats probably it.

Do people think that you can catch your opponents clothes alight?

I dont think we will be able to use torches as weapons in Skyrim, im open to the idea though. I would give it a try, problem is I dont see them as being very effective weapons unless that is your fighting a rat or other small creature.
