Wrestling Moves and Possibilities
« on: August 05, 2011, 10:56:21 am »

I love using the wrestling skill.  I love training it up to legendary within minutes, and then squeezing the life out of my enemies, one by one by one.  However, I might not have grasped all there is to wrestling.  I know a lot of the combinations on how to break joints, choke, pinch, gouge, and essentially tear apart my enemies, but I wanna know more.  So here's how this is gonna work.  Post any tips about wrestling that you know, it's ok if I know it, someone newer to adventure mode might benefit from the information.  You can post information about wrestling, as long as no one said it before.  Afterwards, post optimum builds for wrestling ( Strength, agility, etc ) other useful skills ( dodging comes to mind ).
Lastly, post any epic wrestling matches you might have had with a skilled opponent.  It would also be cool if someone could go all !!!SCIENCE!!! on this and test out the actual mechanics of wrestling.  I hope this will be informative and fun. 

Oh, and lastly, is it possible to literally to rip a sentient being's arm off?  I wanna go all Beowulf on everything even remotely monstrous.

The only way you could rip something's arm off is by pinching it while playing as something really huge, or making an attack which is basically a punch that latches on to the enemy.

Good luck trying to wrestle anything bigger than you are. No dragonslayer for you!

My favorite wrestling move has to be grabbing a weapon and disarming your opponent by pressing I (interact), failing that bite off a limb and maul them to death with it.
