1. this game is for entertainment, it is not a competitive online game like COD
2. magic has always been overpowered... paralyze+destruction spell+repeatition= gaybutt six
but it doesn't matter because the CPUs (the ONLY enemies in the game) don't use cheap tactics like that (usually)
i personally do not like dual wielding but i get it. people think it looks cool and the potential for complex strategy is epic. just like i think crossbows look sixy as hell (more armor penetration). spears could be in skyrim for the following reasons
1. running backwards is now slower than runnning fowards
2. blocking is now possible 100% of the time (unlike morrowind)
3. long heavy spears would obviously be slower than shorter weapons
if you have the balls not to use armor then you deserve to be rewarded for it
