Is that it's full of Nords! No, seriously, I think most people would agree that it's a pretty badass game. Just like Oblivion and Morrowind before it. And just like Oblivion, and Morrowind to a lesser extent, there is a nagging problem that really bugs me. These games, to me, could be all-time great if not for the combat issue. For all the minute detail put into the game, I still can't stand the sword combat. It's hack-n-slash put into a huge RPG. Does anybody else feel this way? Using magic is 100x more fun than swinging your weapon haphazardly all over the place. It's like there is no physics involved. You and your enemy are standing there exchanging attacks. Does armor even matter? It's like the reality of swinging weapons and wearing armor isn't taken into account. Pressing the swing button over and over again is not fun. Make me strategize. Make me look for the proper time to swing.

It just really takes away joy I have for good combat games. I love playing a warrior. In Elder Scrolls, not so much.
