Yeah, guys who dream of having 2 girls at the same time haven't tried it. Never works out like the fantasy.More Bretons (girls) to marry i mean only two and both can't come on a bandit raid with me.
Yet again, Spears. Not just the overgrown Riekling arrows, but I mean player wieldable 2 handed Spears with Stabbing attacks, and a block. Now that I mention it, why can't we Block/bash with Staffs? Oh yeah, because they're 1 handed, but even if you wield them with nothing in the other hand, you can't. You have to equip a shield, or at least a Torch for that capability.
But back to Spears, I know Swords are cool, and all, but I'm getting kind of sick of them eclypsing Spears in every Historical/Fantasy game there is. The spear was the common man's weapon from the Sharpened sticks of prehistoric hominids to the Pike &Musket battle tactics of the Napoleonic Era of massed battle. For the vast majority of our existence as tool users, THE reapon of humanity wasn't the Gun, nor even the Sword, but the Spear. Some other pole-arms would be nice, I love me a good steel Halberd, and that at least could use the standard Battleaxe animation. Also, a 1H Javelin to take advantage of the Archery Tree. If they could just make the Reikling's throwable instead of fired from a bow, I'd be happy. Even with the severely nerfed range, it compensates for having the other hand free for a weapon, or spell. I'd give it an instant short range throw, without using stamina, and a longer (maybe double range?) throw as a Power Attack. Simple, right?
This is the one thing I think this game is missing most. It's downright shameful, I can't imagine any humanoid race of this technological level surviving, and waging war without Spears.
I am with you 100% on this. It's not a problem isolated to TES, either. I notice that in much of fantasy the spear is ignored which, as you pointed out, doesn't make much sense. I don't see why it's not feasible in the game, either. Slashing attacks, stabbing as a power attack, and the ability to block. Sounds reasonable.Yet again, Spears.

If it's a two handed weapon, then 2H. One handed... Same with Ranged. Wouldn't even have to add any Perks, unless they wanted them to Crit like Swords, then they can add ".., And Spears" to the requisite perks. What they would have to do is code new animations, and models, since there's no principly Stabbing weapons, everything's a swinger with the way they have it set up. I want them mostly for background, there hasn't been a pre-gunpowder Civilization in history that didn't have them, and several still did/do long after firearms come along.You may get your wish. Rumor has it that Spears will be in a upcoming DLC. They need to add another skill tree for Spears. That's why your able to change your Perks in the Dragonborn DLC. All the level 81 (mostly "Bookshelf Trained") players would have been pl*** out of luck if they added a skill tree without being able to swicth up. Just a rumor.
A barber. I regret making my Redguard bald. Now I wish he had an Afro. And I play on ps3 so I cant even get a mod for this.
I'd like different ways to interact with NPC's. A pat on the shoulder or back, a friendly wave, a flip of the bird, a curt "screw you" in response to some of the snide remarks you occasionally receive around town - all of these would make me happy.
Thou, not though.Does though mock the Dragonborn? Well "screw you" :flipsbird:
It really burns my biscuits when some Nord says that for something like Candlelight. Or when it's a Spellcaster, especially Anska. "Who was it that just zotted me with a Dual Cast Lighting Bolt?" Bitch, please.Some sort of dialogue, when you have a Thrall and a NPC says "That spell looks dangerous! Keep your distance!" Oh wait, never mind.
Thou, not though.
