I think it's fine. It would be silly to have H2H taking out people in armor or blocking swings from a battleaxe. If they make it a viable option then they may as well add the ability to dual wield 2H weapons while they're at it.

still this? h2h is no valid playstyle man... Its just there for winning tavern brawls with a khajjit or a plate armored person with 20 armor rating (+20 dmg on unarmored attacks when u have the perk) and also there are special gloves that add a random number to your h2h attacks... You cant honestly beat up a dragon with your bare fist.. come on

I thought the point of the h2h perk in heavy armor was to increase pummel damage, the 2h equalent for what you do with a shield. Doesn't it hit with a fist with a 2h weap when block+striking or what?

*edit* got wrong skill there

not sure about that, that'd be interesting.

And yeah no reason to belittle us. We've gotten over this. But be aware, hand to hand monks in the elder scrolls lore can punch through almost anything. This isn't planet earth.

This whole thing pretty much bummed me out when I realized my Khajiit couldn't improve her natural fighting ability. The gauntlets perk is laughable considering her claws would be covered.
