not being able to jump and attack is another disappointment, i jumped off a bolder with a sword went through a dragons neck without hurting it and then the inevitable 'aaaagh' as my knees went into my hips... i miss feather, and acrobatics too.

Forgot all about feather, It was more of a 3D challenge

I like this idea, but go a bit further > sprint jump power attack.

sprint jump power attack would be great, even sprint - jump - zoom target with bow while time slows and fire - land - roll ... lol, an animators head just exploded.

'It was more of a 3D challenge ' that's what I'm getting at skyrim feels very 2D at times, even with flying dragons.. levitate would be great as well in this game as things would fly after you..

Seems strange to change the basic feel of the game. To one with less options, you would think you would have more options.

Yeah, it would be cool if you could have more animations. I think what's holding it back, is that it's designed primarily as a 1st person game. I think if they found a comfortable balance, it would work out. Not to go into too much comparison, but if games like Call of Duty can have movement and vaulting, etc, I don't see why it couldn't work with these mechanics.

Oh, and we at least have the running power attacking with 2 handers and one handers. Kinda silly you have to get a perk for it, but hey! It's basically a jump sword attack. It looks nice when you activate Slow Time Shout and run and pull one of those moves.
