2. Combat
Another overrated element of Skyrim is the combat. The dual wielding system is quite good, but all you do is hit two buttons see the animation used on enemies who do nothing but run at you kamikaze style and get themselves killed. The new killcams should work fine, but the animations are jerky, there is a pause between normal gameplay and kill camera and the HUD disappears, further highlighting that you're watching a scripted scene. The combat is not only dysfunctional, but quite boring. The closest sword play game, by release date, was Assassin's Creed Revelations. AC: R has a great combat system filled with varied animations and engaging AI. Skyrim involves only left click, right click, dual click. Done.
