for example it feels like everyone migrated towards double swords like they had this huge advantage thats not fair I still favor a shield and sword. But they have this super double stab thrust speedy movement thing going on im just wondering will the matches be decided on what kinds of weapon you wield? That wouldnt be right I just want to make sure Zenimax does this the right way. What do you think?

if you want to use a shield you will be able to mitigate more damage than the guys with two swords. but, im sure some weapons will be better or worse at different situations.

9 months of beta to go.

I'm sure the goal is balancing everything.

I was originally going to use a bow for my main, but AGH those animations!!! I'm currently planning on 2 alts, 1 which I am probably going to use a 2 handed weapon for, and 1 that will be magicka based, so don't worry about the dual wield, I'm sure you won't see everyone running around in game like that.

Still a long way to go before eso is golden, wouldn't change how you play based on animations this early.

Since we don't know what other spells and abilities will also interact with out chosen weapons, there could be much more than a rock, paper, scissors scenario. We might have shield bash stuns, dual weapon throws, or other abilities that we mix and match from other trees. Weapon choices do seem important, but not the do all, end all in battle.
