I was just saying that being unable to ask for anything more is a bit of a daft thing to say, because it is a bethesda game, so there is always alot to ask for. Luckily that's what mods are for :)
These games arent supposed to be about the combat they are about the story. They have probably put more resorces into the landscape than the fighting... which in my opinion is the right thing to focus on.
I very much doubt that the landscape designers and the character animators are the same people.
Guess what, Condemned came out 6 years ago. If you can't match that, fucking don't bother making a first person melee game. 6 fucking years ago, still has more impact than Elder Scrolls, Dead Island. And if the answer is "but these are RPGs!" then make me select Attack out of a menu. If you can't do the action well, then don't do it at all.
This.
It's really daft that people whine about the industry not trying out new things and evolving and yet seem so stuck in their ways: "It's an rpg, the combat is supposed to be mind numbingly dull".
First person combat is hard to get right, and they would rather put resources into the world and the quests. People dont come to these games for combat
No matter why you play the game you will find yourself in combat again and again. Even if I play it for the quests and the exploration I will have to combat enemies and when I do I rather it was fun. In Oblivion I basically just mashed the right trigger until the enemy was dead and in Fallout 3 I walk up and shoot them in the head. Sure you could say I can play it differently, but there is nothing in the game that make me be more strategic. The best thing about NEw Vegas was having companions that could fight for me, but I would rather have the combat be a great experience and fight myself.
This. Either make enemies die quick, or add strategy and fun to the combat. Endless spamming of RT is fun for no-one.
What does it matter if the weapon don't react to hitting a body just right. That's a really nit picky thing to complain about. What's next? "This is has dullened me because I cannot see toe nails on my character. It breaks my immersion to not see any kind of toe nails or finger nails. I play this game for immersion and no toe nails means I'm not going to get this game anymore now..."
Give me a freaking break. Skyrim is going to be amazing and they are broadening their horizons by letting you work in the game and dual wield swords/magic. if seeing a blade move not quite right breaks your immersion, then you probably had ADD anyways and need to stick to games like CoD.

don't react to hitting a body just right.
How about not at all. Also, grow up and accept that other people might have criticism on games that you are a fan of.
Don't tell me to grow up. I actually don't give more than a half a fuck about what you or anyone's complaining about. Try taking your own advice.

You're telling ME this when at the same time, you're doing it yourself. Why don't you grow up and accept that I don't like the fact that people are complaining about something so trivial as how the sword swing animations look? Maybe if you were grown up you could see this, but obviously you're not. I've had debates with too many brick walls to keep doing it. I've said my peace, so I'm not going to respond to any more insults.
Wow, mature response. (That was sarcasm.)
Regardless of if you "give a fuck", I had a criticism that I wanted to talk about in a thread about the subject in a public forum, why do you feel the need to come in here and tell me it doesn't matter and that you don't care. If you don't care, why are you in this thread?
@Pezen: It's ok if enemies die in one or two slashes, but when you have to slash at an enemy for just shy of three (hyperbole) hours before he dies, some impact animations do wonders :)
