Okay this is seriously bothering me, It makes no sense that I can't jump when im sprinting, if anything it would be a very useful feature. And ontop of that, you can't even attack at ALL when you're in the air, so no cool jump and attack combos for the heckof it, no nothing. So far I'm really enjoying the world (love the dungeons) But man this is frustrating, I feel so limited in terms of movement :S

What ?!
You can't jump while running ?

It doesn't even make sense.

Probably because the xbox didnt have enough buttons to.

Remember we PC only get what they do.

I really doubt its because of the consoles, I think it may have to do with not workingwill with the finishers, wouldnt it look odd if you did a finisher from the air fx. But come on now, so many times I've had to stop sprinting for half a second just to freakin jump, it's beyond annoying and honestly ruins a lot of the smoothness of the game. I've pretty much given up doing smooth melee combat aswell :/ I like the combat of it actually, feel good, but first of all the dual wielding makes no sense, right click is left and hand left click is right hand, so I gave that up. Not I can't even do jump attacks, I can just stand there swinging,bah :/ These movement restrictions are really taking some of the enjoyment outta the game for me

I am no expert on medieval combat, but it seems like jumping and swinging in a sword fight would make you a bit vulnerable.

Not to mention, jumping when wearing full armour would be a little difficult, and jumping while running/attacking even more so. Sure, it's a game, but I just don't see why you would need to do it anyway.

You can jump while running, just not while sprinting.

They did this on Oblivion for the 360, all you would have to do is press the jump button. How would it not have enough buttons??

you can jump running right ?
As for manga air attack well too much work for little results.

how does it matter if its realistic or not? its just a basic feeling of freedom, all previous tes games ahve had it (atleast the ones I've tried), and there is no reason to restrict us like that. and besides that, that still doesn't excuse the lack of sprint jump.. the game feels like it only allows you to do one thing at once

For an examples of the air attack thing. I was fighting on some stairs, and because I was running towards an enemy downwards, I was in the air for a little bit every so often, which prevented me from attack. other than that, its one of those things that are just fun to do.

Well they took out acrobatics and cant see your profile status like strength, agility, etcs. Even item's durability is what got my upset that nothing can break or worn out.

Also that you cannot jump and do alot of crazy acrobatics if you have heavy armor on, like Gothic4 did, it was really stupid. Imagine if you had on heavy armor on or full set and going for a swim lol.

I think they should have an options for user to decide if they want totally realism or simply arcade styles in the game. Someday we should have mods that cover it in the future.

Mario could jump while sprinting and that was on the NES back in the 80's. it's not a case of not enough buttons, you only need two.
