What do you think of the spell animations?

I don't get why they were so sloppy with the spells, I just purchased chain lightning and it looked weaker than sparks, lol. I'm ranting again but wow they need to work more on the spell system and make the spells look better. They are small and pathetic.

OFFTOPIC: But what's the point of dual casting if the spells can't be combined?! Let's say a frost + fire lightning - I'd say skyrim were rushed / lack of focus on the spell system in general. They should take after fable in terms of spells ( not Fable 3 tho, it svcked hard )

The dualcasting spell animations are totally underwhelming. Single and normal double casting look great. Only problem is I can't tell if I have firebolt or ball in my hand sometimes.

It's nice. But maybe, I think, could be a bit better.

i agree about that chin ligthing looks very week..but the problem i think is more the particle effect rather than animation....
and also i think they should improve the effect when i combine 2 spell togheter

because i i trow a fireball with 2 hands...since suppose to be more powerfull i wanna see a bigger effect than 1 fireball

i wanna see visual different..not only different ammount of damage

Modders will try, question is, will they do a good job?

I sure hope so, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL2sr7RXdEc

Betsheda has surerly proven that they lack the interest in making spells actually look good.
