Knock it off Darth, you’re giving me the itch to fire up skyrim again and I’m trying to get through a couple seasons of madden.:lol:
Also, you must have forgotten to list your mods that make combat more like dark souls.
Actually, the Wildcat mod does quite a few things for melee combat. But since I always go for stealth/archery - there's not a lot of Dark Souls in my Skyrim
I mostly played Demon's Souls - though the combat seemed identical in Dark Souls, to me.
Is there a lot of difference?
A whole lot of dodging and rolling. What was it someone called it? A roller RPG? Seems pretty accurate to me
Not that Skyrim melee combat is very good at all - but the archery is better than most CRPGs. Combined with stealth and all the toys you get in Skyrim, I find combat to be satisfying - but I would never recommend it for a thorougly fine-tuned and balanced experience.
When it's a big free-roaming game - it's very hard to balance something like archery, because it's so easy to exploit ranged combat in that type of game. So, I do what I can to make it interesting. I play without any kind of cross-hair for instance
That said, combat in this type of game is secondary for me. I play Skyrim for exploration, progression and immersion. Combat is just my way of feeling my own progression - as in, my way of testing my strategy and my build.
It's been a long time since I really enjoyed fighting for the sake of it.
Kinda sad, in a way - as I sort of miss that adrenaline and stuff. I remember being a huge competitive shooter fan - and I loved games like Virtua Fighter and the like.
These days, such things bore me to death. Oh well.
