You forgot a few blocks and run away moments. You would of been dead already. Oh and change of hand placement and different weapons for different scenarios.

I wish there was a way to imbed a count down into the op.
Also, once skyrim comes out I'll have to edit the whole op to properly cover the elder Scrolls as a series. Though that shouldn't be to hard, I'll just copy and paste general descriptions of the games from the UESP, similar to how I did the Dragon Age Megathread.

They say that they have made it better, but I don't mind much. I'm not really sure what should be happening during melee combat in a videogame other than hitting and blocking. Elder scrolls is more realistic than the types of games that have you doing crazy acrobatics flipping around the combat area and jumping over people. Things like dodging were already in Oblivion anyway.

Back pedaling is out. Also one handed blocking is timed now (if you're blocking with your weapon)

Going backwards is just slower and i block with my face.

[Dippindots]

apparently stuff doesn't degrade in skyrim :D

we'll still have to recharge enchanted weapons tho :(

[Littledude]

I like weapon degradation, but I wont miss it much.

Once I got my armorer skill high it was just a waste of time

my oblivion fighting style:

*sneaky backslice*

throw my own wepon away
hand to hand yelling COME AT ME BRO at the screen
*punch punch*
You win!
