Personally I think that one way to improve the battle system is the locking system like in dark souls. Of course this would be optional. Second thought is maybe a few more moves with swords,axes and etc.It will be cool to have the option to swap weapons in one handed and 2handed mode with different combat moves(like in Dark souls).Third the ability to block with two swords for example.Another one is to have a few more quick buttons for the console players. For the immersion improvement I think that a few cut scenes before the bosses would be a nice one.

OK folks. Any thoughts...........................................................................................

Skyrim =/= Dark Souls


I know you love both games, I do too. But lets refrain from these sorts of ideas, they are unoriginal. Not sure if there's any buttons left on the layouts for console users to utilize your suggestions anyway

What is the "locking system" in Dark Souls?

I know that those games are quite different and I personally like skyrim more. May you explain yourself why do you think that those ideas are unnoriginal, especially the optional locking system. And the original idea of this topic was not to compare those two games, as they both are the best RPGs in the curent console generation.

Well if you press right stick in ps3 or xbox 360 you lock on the enemy which you want to fight with and the attack will be adressed to him.But if you dont you can adress the attack in the direction which you want.

Yes there are more buttons to use,d-pad down.............

I wouldn't want that in a TES game at all.

It will be optional............and yes it will be better,because now 1 of my 6 attack hurt the "air".....................

Optional the way killcams are optional?

Killcams are the best improvement in Skyrim in my opinion and i would love Bethesda to make further improvements on it like 1.5 patch as it seems will be.

I think the best way to improve the battle system is to make the blood to paint ground, walls, rocks, items, plants, containers, furnitures etc. Not only the characters in the battle and the items they are currently using.

A guy who want a "locking system" would certainly think so.

What do you mean "A guy who want a "locking system" would certainly think so."I feel sarcasam:)

Don't know why anyone would want a locking system in Skyrim o.O I hit the enemy just fine...

In my humble opinion, the battle system isn't really (at least I wouldn't want it to be) the game's focus point. New additions are always welcome, but I wish they would go more in the direction of some little things, additions for easier RP-ing, etc.
Again, just something I had in mind. My two cents.

I agree with this. The combat is perfect and shouldn't be changed at all IMO.

You seriously don't appreciate it when you decapitate a bandit in slow motion and see his head rolling down the hill?

And also, mods. I know you console boys miss out on that, which is too bad, because they are awesome Personally using Deadly Combat, changes the combat to be faster and more skill-oriented. Duel Combat is also good I've heard.

I certainly do.

A locking system no thanks I hate them but I would welcome the addition of an extra attack move stab/thrust would be good.

What? who would want that? Make Archer shots auto-hit? no thanks....

They're not big on optional if you haven't noticed.

And personally I don't think I'd like that. I think the combat is fine.

Oh, that locking system. The one first used by Nintendo in Zelda: OoT
