It is very dark, and you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

Hmm... you guys must not be using any combat mods if you think it is shallow and simple.

OP, OP. I have found another reason, why Skyrim's combat is fun. It's because of the bad A.I. and it's very fun to exploit, lol.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Simplicity is good.

Take pong for example.

90% of teens in America have moved on to rap music. If you're one of the teens who rock out every day, put this in your signature.


If it fits in a toaster... I can cook it.

I play Skyrim using a stealth/ranger character. It requires a bit more thought than simply hacking at people until they fall down.

Combat is supposed to be simple in video games.

The sword combat is terrible. Skyrim would do better if there was more depth to it. I want to get decapitated and I want a game with more conservative but engaging fights. One to two enemies at once with a very tense fight where you need to block and counter. Maybe I like Dark Souls' combat too much but I think a more difficult combat system with a chivalry style would be amazing.

Get Warzones, ACE, Deadly Combat, and Duke Patricks Archery and Heavy Combat.

These mods completely change the combat in Skyrim. Add these with Skyrim Monster Mod and Monster Wars, Immersive Patrols, Phenderix Spells, Apocalypse Spells, Etc...

Sadly I don't have a rig that will run Skyrim very well. I'll be sure to give a heavily modded Skyrim a try when I get a new rig.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Too bad I have X360 version. Atleast the combat is fun still.

x_*x Blame Stosh

Since you spend a lot of time improving your character and scrounging for items, it feels good to have something to use your abilities and weapons on. Other action RPGs and even MMOs much simpler than TES can make the player feel rewarded when they kill things, simply because one of the major purposes is to make your character stronger. There's more to it than that, but that's my hypothesis.

I just hate how the dragons in Skyrim fight, they really don't put up a good fight, they're just powerful
