Elder Scrolls V: "Soon"

Well, it's apparent that we'll have to agree to disagree....but a few last points....

Here's two lists that cover pretty much every weapon in the ESIII trilogy:

Every sword, either single hand or two hand has a reach of 1.0. Every spear and staff has a reach of 1.8. Now I dunno if the X-Box version has different stats, but those are the ones I'm familiar with...and clearly the spear/halberd outranges even a dai-katana. My in-game experience shows this to be the case, as well. I always....as in every single time...get the first strike on all those great sword maniacs that greet you at the door to daedric ruins or a smugglers hideout. Outside of a daedric ruin, I can batter a dremora lord or a golden saint on the other side of a wall or some other obstacle with a spear or halberd and they cannot hit me back even if wielding a dai-katana.

I would think that with all the fancy controllers available to console platforms (and I don't own one), that unless the configure button feature is missing in the X-Box ver, you should be able to mitigate the rather clumsy UI for weapon choice.

As to a two-handed weapon having knockdown capabilities...that's true. With sufficient skill and very high strength, I dare say you can knock an opponent down with a short sword...I've done it. But.......my point is that with a spear/halberd I will do it to my opponent before they can attempt to do it to me. Saves a lot of time on reloads

As far as going early to Ghostgate, I like to push the envelope further every time I play. By lvl 35-40 my character can take on anything, anywhere, without hardly breaking a sweat, so it's the early game challenges that hold my interest.
