I'm a Shield/1Handed warrior and love how the shield and its perks work, having a blast bashing things around and disrupting spells/attacks/etc and then going in for the kill.
Game is running surprisingly well/fluid on my 'aging' system that I just upgraded with a new graphics card (for this game):
1776x1000 4AA/8AF, all details high and view distances tweaked up a little. ATI6970/2GB, E8500 C2D 3.16GHz, 4GB, Win7x64. I should probably just bump that up to 1080p and downgrade the AA.
One request however, with the menus, when a menu item is 'active' selected, please make the font a something other than 'brighter' white. like say yellow/green. I still mistakenly select the wrong item/spell/conversation/etc when i think i'm selecting one thing rather than another. The difference between the 'off white' and 'bright white' is weak at best.
