Only gave Skyrim a try a few times, the combats a bit clunky and the game feels repetitive. It can look very good though, especially with mods. The world is interesting.
It's the combat part of the game that made it hard to me to play Skyrim. I use some mod and play a mage to avoid playing with weapons, because I find the combat system slow and boring.
I'm replaying Dark Messiah. The game aged, but its combat style is still as dynamic as I remembered. Back then, It's because I compared it to the Oblivion one that I didn't played Oblivion more than a couple of minutes.
The combat is honestly my problem with most Bethesda games. I enjoy the environment and story, but the combat feels lackluster to me. Hits with any kind of weapon feel like they miss impact on the enemy. Other than that, great games.
I have a mod in here called Valhalla Combat irc. Idk if it fixes your issue with the combat but it adds things like a lock on to make it much easier to keep a flow
I'll keep this in mind thanks!
Compared to what?
Compared to nothing, it's clunky
You can't think of a game with non-clunky combat, and you still mark Skyrim down for it?
Your argument is just weird. Ok how about elden ring. Doom eternal. Cyberpunk 2077. The Witcher 3. Stardew valley. I dunno what you want from me but the combat in Skyrim is clunky.
Asking you to clarify your argument is not me making my own. That's a straw man fallacy.
Also Skyrim's combat is much better than Stardew Valley's...
You're entitled to your view and that's ok.
I’m hella on your side, “compared to what” is a fucking stupid question. I love Skyrim and it’s clunkier than old style Monster Hunter games. Mods help but dang… it clunky. It’s only NOT clunky when doing archery the whole time, which is why everyone does that. The arching is good… also with mods.. and in VR.
Even Fallout 4’s combat is less clunky and it’s CLUNK AS HELL
cringe
Stardew has no dual wielding... only one type of attack per weapon. There are bombs, sure.
Compared to Skyrim though?
THAT’s your response?
That’s very funny.
... are we playing different games, or are you a troll?
