Fighting dragons seems great but what if you're spec'd for stealth and speech?

I've not played much Oblivion or Morrowind but people often talk about the choices in those games.

It seems like you'd be kinda fucked if you're playing a character that isn't much of a fighter.

Still though, if you play it how it's been played in this demo it'll be great.

I'm sure they've thought about that. I hope... (worried)

Well... if you have spec'd for stealth and speech, surely your character would have no place fighting dragons? Although I always found stealth chars to still be pretty powerful when it came to combat.

Stealth character implies daggers, crits, bows.. all things that can damage an npc or dragon. bethesda has spoken about not allowing you to effectively break your character by just specializing into the dumber of the stats in their games (athletics, speech). I imagine speech is easier and less demanding to spec into, and athletics is removed entirely or not focused on at all etc. pretty confident you should be able to get what you want and always be able to slay dragons... dragons are KINDA the whole focus of the game and it's main story line, probably some of it's side content also.

Sold. I had been avoiding any news about this game. Now I'm psyched. Plus: Kill animations! Bethesda knows the way to my heart.
