I distinctly remember the melee combat being not at all like the Mount & Blade style, which is what one of the mods turned it into. I remember it being really click spammy and boring. This is really awesome. Also it's so damn scary at night. When I first spawned in the random start mod, I was being held hostage by bandits in some random cave. I snuck out (after dying a lot) and straight into a bloody hurricane at midnight. Literally midnight, I couldn't see anything!

which mods

[umiman]

Most of the stuff on the OP and some other ones I liked.

So in addition to the OP list, Dragons Diversified, Mighty Dragons, Apocalyse spell package, X-Character Enhancement,  and Immersive Weapons. Couldn't find any immersive hair mods, so the character hair is the only non-HD and funky part of my game. Overcame that by playing a balding guy.

Umm... Mount & Blade combat as in directional blocking and stuff?... or comparing it to Mount & Blade just for the fact that they managed to make it deeper than a paper plate?

Skyrim would instantly be one of my favorite games ever if Mount & Blades' combat system were directly ported into it.

Uhhh... So...
I installed SkyUI, but didn't realize it's utter shit in windowed mode.
Somehow, I fucked up royally while trying to uninstall it with Nexus.
Now, not only is my inventory like 2 and a half inches, but I am literally unable to get fix that.
I'm pretty sure it's possible to redownload a fresh copy if the game onto my computer, but nothing I've tried has worked.

Do any of you know?

[Tellemurius]

just run a verify game cache to fix the changes (is the Skyui.dll still in the plugins folder for SKSE?)

Haven't played Morrowind, so I wouldn't know.  Is it comparable?

Also, chop. Also, boring to death.

[SalmonGod]

The directional thing is where the majority of the depth comes from, in my opinion.  It forces you to actually watch for something more than the beginning of the enemy's attack animation, and quickly process a reaction to a variable instead of simply "press block button".  Or even worse... just attack wildly and leave it to raw numbers...  It's my #1 complaint about Skyrim and most similar games.

[Tellemurius]

meh i think its fine for a fantasy rpg like skyrim, the power attacks give me enough to do strategy in fights

[fqllve]

There's no directional blocking in Morrowind though, just auto-blocking.

Also the different damage types vs armor types is pretty great in M&B too. And the relative amounts of health. Enemies just have way too much health in Skyrim.

[Thecard]

Huh.  I'm a bowman myself, so fuck y'all.

And you, especially.  Ninja.

[Slayerhero90]

BOWMAN-FRIEND!

[SalmonGod]

I mostly play bowman, too, just because I find the melee combat so boring.

But there are a couple mods that do improve on it considerably, to the point that I can enjoy it.
