If my companion is retarded enough to position himself in a way that causes friendly fire, then by all mean, let him get hit. umm..I think this is the best improvement to the series if it is implemented. I wouldn't call it the best, but it would be a welcome change. I hated having companions in Oblivion because they would just get in my way, get hit, then get angry at me. It was really easier to fight without them.
The number of companions I attacked on purpose because I wanted to pass the game alone to the maximum possible extent was equal to the number of non-essential NPC's that came with me.

LOL this is the funniest thing i've seen today.
Stop right there you criminal scum ! Rats have cease my cellar. You have to kill them so my shop isn't ruined tomorrow, because you know, you killed the previous owner and I have lots of paper to do now so I can't do it myself. And I'll pay you for that.

heavy armor reduces spell effectiveness. I would just use Alteration heavily instead of heavy armor.

That seems extremely sub-optimal. Heavy armour will slow your charge. Using one hand with a ranged spell after you get in close to shield bash with a defensive hand?
Try frost touch or similar instead, or use lighter armour to dodge around + block.

I am so unbelievably pumped for this game.
I'm gonna play as the manliest motherfucking viking possible for a couple of hours, with THE LARGEST weapon available (size is the only parameter I need to judge effectiveness) and then I'm going to make a new character and be the sneakiest motherfucker on the whole mountain side, stealing shit at night, stabbing niggaz in da back, snatching up they people.
Magic is for little Harry Potter wanna be bitches and tricks, not for me. While you little wizards run around enchanting rings and making poultices I'll be exploring dark caves and cracking the skulls of all inhabitants or cuttin' dem throats and joining da black bruthahood.

I dont even know what char im gonna build, so many possibilitys lol.
Maybe a nord warrior with a sword in right hand and fire spells on the right.
Or maybe a sneaky thief assassin or even a battle mage dual wielding a sword and a staff.
OH GOD SKYRIM, COME AT ME BRO

If you don't make a dual wield staff character, you are not a baller.
|
Dual wield axes heavy armored Orc.

I may go with a standard tankish warrior type and concentrate on the main story just to go through it and see how it flows and what decisions I have to make for my first basic run. Then, I will have fun with a caster type that is a little less tolerant of peons, does lots of side quests and roams around but at least I will know where a good breaking point may be in the main quest to go do the fun stuff. This should provide me with plenty of game time until D3!

Really? I remember differently, it has been awhile though...
Anyway the point being that a separation between 1 and 2 handed weapons as skill is just as realistic (or not realistic) as a separation between whether a weapon has a blade or not; there are obvious differences between the two but it's not such a clean break that anyone experienced with a sword would be totally incompetent with a mace, or anyone who knows how to use a short sword couldn't even pick up a broadsword or something. It's just a different way of arbitrarily dividing up that skill.

This is the superior system, imo. Someone who is an expert with swords won't be fumbling around like hes a retard if hes wielding a flail or something. There are specializations within the one-handed section for each type of weapon.

It's alright, man. These guys just don't understand the definition of the word "badass".

I wonder how the stealth mechanics will really work, and if backstabbing every opponent is gonna be a viable way to kill stuff. Cause it was quite ineffective in Morrowind and Oblivion. Although levitate + sneak allowed you to steal everything right in front of npc eyes in Morrowind :D

Also, there was a distinction between Long Blade and Short Blade. Just to make things weirder. I found the distinction to be annoying :/

I'm really looking forward to this game. Unfortunately I had to leave my old computer behind when moving and I'm now using a laptop. I've got:
+ Show Spoiler +AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
4 GB RAM
AMD Athlon (tm) P360 Dual-core Processor (2CPUs) ~2,3Ghz
It appears to support DirectX 11
and the minimum specs required are:
+ Show Spoiler +•Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
•Processor: Dual Core 2.0GHz or equivalent processor
•2GB System RAM
•6GB free HDD Space
•Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
•DirectX compatible sound card
•Internet access for Steam activation
So do you think it'll run smoothly on the lowest settings? With my limited knowledge it seems like it will, but I got a little worried when SC2 warned me that I was running below minimum specs (runs fine on low though).

If anything that's less realistic. I know people appreciate the complexity but the idea of someone who can use a longsword being utterly incompetent with a short sword is ridiculous.
