Elder Scrolls 6: 10 Things Fans Want To See

3. Improved Combat

This is the thousandth time it has been said, but the combat in Skyrim is simply boring and monotonous. It amounts to pressing a button until your enemy falls over. You have other options, but they are always additional bits tacked onto the main combat mechanics which are inherently flawed.

Please, Bethesda! Do something with the combat. Anything. Add some different directions to swing your weapons, more tactical options, feinting, parrying, literally anything. This is the one fundamental error that is in dire need of changing.

Considering the effort Bethesda put into fixing the shooting mechanics from Fallout New Vegas going into Fallout 4, chances are we will see some form of change. What it is doesn't matter, because as long as it isn't the current system, the game will be infinitely better.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
