Yeah the blade dancer was one of my favorite 2E elf kits. (I think it was in the elves book, don't feel like digging out my books for fact checking)

Im going to use the classic sword and sheild.

Oh wow. Just read the combat section and I am a little worried now. Dual wielding and improved combat is great and was something we've been modding for a long time. The part that worries me though is the part about these finishing moves:

An animation every once in awhile is okay and kind of cool after a hard battle or when you just utterly waste and enemy, but, they shouldn't happen that often otherwise you risk detracting from gameplay and immersion. Think cut scene after every other fight. It gets old real quick. :banghead:

The other potential problem is this, combat is improved but in order to end a challenging fight you have to preform a combo. :sick: Something that is a pain in the nwah with keyboard and mouse and belongs on console only releases IMHO. This was a big problem with The Force Unleased, and aside from restrictive level design the reason I never played past the 2nd board out of disgust. Let me add I wasn't looking forward to that game as much as a TES release, but I was excited enough to preorder the PC version.

I will be dual wielding spells.

My guy is gonna go HULK, rip a carvan in half and dual wield that.

I'll be making a berserker type character, so I'll be dual-wielding the biggest swords/axes I can find.

Double up Daggers. By the way, because I want to make a character wielding just one sword, not a claymore, but a single handed sword, I would like a bonus if you don't have both hands occupied to speed or agility or dodge, hopefully all if they are implemented.

As am i.

I already have my first character mostly planned out.

He is breton by the way

As always with these kind of threads, I will weild magic.

Two silver waraxe' with a daedric bow on my back to pierce the very heart of the dragons

Sometimes sword and shield, sometimes sword and spell. It will likely take a lot of playing with the new system really to find what's comfortable. I'll probably level more slowly than Bethesda intends as I explore, pick flowers, and experiment with abilities.

D&D or Warhammer? Personally prefered Warhammer (Wood elves were more capricious and feral).



Agreed. If finishing moves become too common place they lose their impact and significance, but I doubt it would detract much, as essentially it is just another attack to kill your opponent. It does sound like their occurrence is extremely conditional (enemy's health, timed attack, etc), so hopefully this won't be a spammed event.

And yeah, while I think mouse/keyboard is superior for precision, the controller is excellent for movement with the d-pad and combos... Question is how to get this for PC.

Easy i'll duel wield glass daggers no one will see it coming with my superior skill i'll sneak behind you and kill you glistening green glass and all, fear me for i will be in the shadows in your celling watching you.........slowly........:Ceiling Cat

Mouse and keyboard

claymore and staff if possible, and if not long sword and staff

Oh yeah! Icingdeath and Twinkle FTW.

I will walk into the bar/inn where the nord lady is in the screenshot,and duel wield me some boobs :thumbsup:
Seriously...Probably dagger's or shortswords..Bow will be my main weapon. Though i want to use hand to hand too,better be in.. * shakes fist at bethesda team*.

Fire spell in one hand, Ice in the other and let the two fight it out!!

I want to duel wield babys, like nunchucks and swing them around by their legs like a ninja, "baby wielding".

This should have been made into a poll, and then people can say specifically which type of spell/dagger/shield/sword/axe/etc. they'll have. This would make it easier to see the most popular choices.

Two Fists.

Skooma

"Yeah, one in each hand!"

Dual scimitars, like my favorite dark elf.

Two short swords, or long daggers, or empty hands. ^_^

Daggers, short swords, or possibly (hopefully) bow and dagger.
