I had always played thief chars so the whole crazy slashing was ok but now I simply cannot bring myself to it, after experiencing the whole reaction to hits, timed blocks and actual attack paterns for diffeent enemies I simply wish for a more challenging and rewarding combat style...
Now mind you am not implying that one system is more realistic or better than the other, I would just love some suggestions for a mod that isnt as hardcoe, but adds some of that Dark Souls flavor to Skyrim
