Archery is great too once you do a one hit kill on enemies, but even on very high archery skills, do enemies stagger when getting hit? I am talking about regular human bandits with no shield.

Your not buying an "Open World RPG game" to Explore the world lol... sometimes you say some crazy ass shit Sath :), you knew what the bloody hit reaction was going to be like in this so why go on and on and on about it. I could not give a fuck about hit reaction, that in no way stops my enjoyment of this game at all.

yes, i think it's 50% chance of stagger (feels like they do it all the time with human enemies) no stagger on larger creatures tho. 3x damage when hidden, high chance of critical. it's the best, least crappy combat system in the game imo. but not for everyone. you feel incredibly pressured if you dont kill in 2 or 3 shots. unless you switch to swords, but i try to avoid that.

Here's me with my Dragon armor (Light version). It's very easy to farm smithing. Just make Hide bracers only needs Leather, and leather strips.

Amazing!!

I've been dual wielding and I find the combat very satisfying, really liking it. It has flaws, but the overall weight of the melee is a big improvement over Oblivion.

Hit detection needs to be a little better, but I've found that a lot of my attacks have good feedback on them - and the finishing moves are sweeeeeet (only in 1st person though, in 3rd person it's like a copy and paste from Fallout... even the weird 'jackpot' sound is there).

Saying that, I find that I'm constantly switching between melee, magic and archery. This game gives you so many options in combat that I feel obliged to utilise most of them.

Thought you said you were loving the game Sath?

I said it much earlier in this thread, the reason why I think there is a lack of hit reaction is because if you have to do it for enemies then you have to do it for the player, the game would just turn into a staggering match. I find it annoying enough when I get slowed down by mage wielding frost spells and can't close the gap to melee range how much more when archers can stop me every few feet and take me down. Sounds more like a Dark Souls kind of gameplay which I'd like kept out of my ES as much as possible.

Yeah. Totally. If i could get the big open world of Skyrim, but with the combat and enemy diversity of Dark Souls, then that would be truly kickass.

That is the only reason why I got it, the art and the whole norse/nordic vibe to it, yes and its open world.
But as I said, I knew this from the getgo, but I kept thinking maybe in the full game it will be different once you level up enough and add perks enough to make the combat good.

Thing is I still got my old shield/weapon build save so I went back to it to check some perks and get those higher perks that does 40%+ damages and see if anythings different.
One thing I noticed is the only way to stagger enemies, or see them flinch during combat is power attacks and nothing more. Too be thats pure shit in ANY melee based combat no matter what genre it is.

I have been staggered by normal attacks by the enemy and I expect the same from themm but nothing.
I would love it if the game was much more tactical stagger combat were blocking AND if they added counter attack into it so its more realistic and fair to both players and the enemies (depending on level and perks of course).

Sure kind of like Dark Souls but not as limited were stamina decreases even on the normal attacks thats dumb decision. It may fit the Souls challenge formula but not otherwise.

Thats the best part they added IMO.
And I also agree, the finisher (damn random, happens mostly during staggered enemies but even so its random) is great, in first person. Third person is shit lol

The irony is that it's probably no more effective in the long run. Specialization is the most important it's ever been in an Elderscrolls game. You can combine quite a few things, but you need dem perks, and they they limit/focus what you can really do. And sure, you can put all your perks into combat and do everything, but then your support skills are going to suffer.

This is pretty much my last Bethesda game I will play because I cant deal with crappy combat in such a game focused so much on melee (and magic).
I cant wait for Kingdom of Amalur to come in February, seems to be my type of RPG.

So is this your first 180 on this game? You love it already again right? ;)

Hype andmaybe the first few hours that you are in awe makes you say lots of things, for example I was way hyped for Rage I even called it GOTY or something a few times but after a good 20 hours Im bored out of my mind already.

Dont get me wrong, I DO love the game, but everytime I think about using melee it pisses me off that I cant because how shitty it is. And I use melee combat in every combat situation I can rather than magic, this is the first time I am forcing myself to use mage lol. (not saying powers are bad, they are awesome as hell, but melee AND magic would be even better).

Like I said, I do have my old shield/weapon warrior build save left and my mage, so I am going back and forth between the two for different styles I guess.
I am gonna play warrior more and add every perk possible to one handed weapons and max it out hope it gets better from there, but I doubt it.

You can combine quite a few things, but you need dem perks, and they they limit/focus what you can really do. And sure, you can put all your perks into combat and do everything, but then your support skills are going to suffer.

In terms of pure fun though, I think each component is valid in that regard; some might not like the melee still, but I believe enough improvements have been made to it for me personally to enjoy it (it's actually my primary means of gameplay at the moment as, surprisingly, I find the melee satisfying). And in terms of effectiveness, I've not exactly had any problems so far in terms of defeating enemies employing all those tactics.

So while you're saying that it makes specialisation even more important than ever before, I still think the option of being an all-rounder is a lot more feasible than ever before. Even with the perks I'm distributing them evenly towards 4 or 5 skill sets and it's serving me very well indeed.
