Combat in TESO is like Skyrim-lite with MMO skills. You have a regular attack, a power attack, a block, and an interrupt, plus hotkeyed skills/spells and a dodge move. There's no auto-attack, so your character will just stand there if you're not actively issuing commands. (This is for melee; I haven't seen any archery or spell-slinging.) It's one of the few things in the game no one seems to be upset about, but I don't have access to the beta forums so I couldn't say for certain.

By far the best MMO combat I've played is in DC Universe Online, though the lack of content and rifeness of micropayments make that game as a whole a bit samey throughout. The controls were somewhat like a brawler game, where you have a few basic attack buttons and use them in various combos to pull off different things.

I think TES combat (even lite) would be fun online, because of the skill involved (rather than merely who has best stats.)

That's what I'm saying, I want something in between an oldschool FPS where it's all about your skill, and a typical MMO where it's all about your stats. Although many FPS games now have stat input on combat outcomes, and many MMOs have player skill. I will say that cycling through your hotkeys based on cooldown patterns is not player skill. At best it's endurance.

[WillowLuman]

Since the start TES combat has been some combination of skills and stats.

Yes and yes. They just didn't get around to that DLC, unfortunately.

I think it says quite alot about Bethesda's creativity nowadays that in this, the developers are told 'do whatever you want' and then they come up with... 'Water flows in dungeons' 'Dark Dungeons' and don't forget the revolutionary 'NPCs relight light sources'...

A little bit of everything in #2.

[Ultimuh]

This.. Is fairly accurate.

I myself, am a bit of a mix of everything there.. Just a bit..
And I bet most of you guys are as well, to a certain degree. You just won't admit it. :p
