So yeah.. another ES title, another [censored] combat system. Not suprised really, just kinda pissed about the overhyping. Again I ask myself have the devs ever actually held a 2 handed sword in their hands (for one)? Hell, a one-handed bloody axe swings slower than any decently trained swordsman could swing a 2-hander, and I won't even get into the animation for 2-handed axes or god-forbid warhammers. It is so painfully slow and [censored]-looking (not to mention would be useless against non-idiotic foes that ES games luckily lack) that I am pretty much forced to play a sword-and-board or dual wielder. And yes, there is a million other problems there like it has already been discussed (no blocking with dual wielding? yeah, right) but what I just want to know is could it be possible without the construction set to modify weapon attack speeds.. I'm guessing no, huh?

They were parameters in Oblivion. Different weapons have different speeds/reaches in Skyrim so it will probably be there once the CK comes out.

As long as you don't change the animation for the Warhammer Volendrung, the animations fit it perfectly.
