Keep in mind, they will be midget horses, not full horses, and will probably be shit.

Hand to hand is completely gimped. It was useless in Oblivion and solely the providence of master players in Morrowind, but seriously, there's not even a skill for it now.

However, if you get the heavy armor feat that lets gauntlet AC affect damage...

Are you kidding me? I was pure Hand-to-Hand in Oblivion this one time, and I was stronger than ever. I took down the entire Imperial City with my hands. And potions. Especially back-power strike to paralyze... I wound up paralyzing soldiers, then beating the shit out of their frozen bodies, taking breaking to reparalyze whenever something came near, or the target started to rise.

Good times.

Edit;
In fact, I once punched an Orc in the city. He started attacking me, a female character, then all the guards chased him out of the city. I was laughing so hard. It was like a sick Charlie Chaplin skit.

I've played bare-handed in both Morrowind and Oblivion. It was a riot, once your skill gets high enough you do a bunch of damage... not as good as weapons, but that just means that the fun lasts MORE!

Make sure to find a mp3 of this song and put it in the Combat theme folder or whatever. Great for immersion.

So far the problem with unarmed seems that it's hard to level up, because you have no weapon skill. My Khajiit seems to be tearing apart the first few levels, though.

How many years do you think it would take before we have a Elder Scrolls game that takes place over the entire world rather then single areas?
Well, if TES series ever ends, and I'm hoping it does as it's just disappointing for a game to be strung along until it's purpose is gone and it's not even the same series anymore without an end, then I imagine it'll all culminate in some extra-universal battle-of-the-everything-forever-or-else-everything-will-cease-to-exist-and-it'll-span-all-of-Tamriel.

It'll probably be around the time that my character dies, as he's wanted by pretty much every single daedric prince, god or otherwise unearthly being in existence.

PTTG??

So the Dark Brotherhood questline was... really short. Apparently those wimpy assassins just can't handle some face-to-face MAN fighting.

All of the faction quest lines are remarkably short really.

Hell, the quest to gain master level destruction spells took longer than the entire line of quests to make me archmage because you only get a vague idea of the location and no giant arrows point to the eons lost artifact.

ummm okey.
can anybody think of any reason why anyone/i should use Wall of Fire/frost/lightining, Incirinate/Thunderstrike/Ice Spear spells? they seem so.... forced, if you know what i mean.
Its kind a disapoiniting to reach 75+ level in destruction just to continiue useing Fireball/Chain Lightining.

You can make Dwemer Centurions your bitch with those spells. They're not smart enough to avoid them so you just dance around a set of stairs and coat them in ice/fire/lighting and make a sandwich while they walk through them and die.

Why wouldn't you use Incinerate, Thunderbolt or Ice Spear? They hit hard, especially dual cast. The wall spells are semi-useful though they don't do enough damage unless you can get an enemy to stand on them.

In my pure mage game I use thunderbolt as my main damage spell backed up by a pair of summoned dremora lords. I'm level 48 on master and shit is tough.

There's one obvious and quite bad reason to only use the first spells: the 'damage per mana spent' ratio (which actually is the DPS). The last spells have some nice collateral effects, but I don't know if these effects can offset their bad DPS.

Bah, just enchant your gear to >=100% destruction cost reduction and spam them.

What is odd is even after you do that. You still don't actually outright break the game.

Making me think that 100% reduction was intentional.
