I am sickened by the fact that they basically scrapped hand to hand. Why would remove a legitimate skill. In OB it was one of my favorite parts of the game and loved the improvements they made to it. But for some reason they decided to omit H2H as a skill and limit its effectiveness (i.e. no skill progression, special power attacks).
Yet they gave us two awesome kill moves, for some reason. That's why I love mods.
I've got a the mod mentioned in this thread, which essentially ties unarmed combat into the one-handed skill.
I've got another one that adds different unarmed animations to the game (acrobatic kicks, roundhouses, combo power attacks) as well as a backflip jump animation
There is a cool mod that adds some nifty guantlets and martial arts tunics of various colors to the game.
Now I just need that damned red headband/bandana, then I can make a Ryu (from Street Fighter) character! Complete with Haduken and everything!
