I find combat in Skyrim to be kind of clunky and simplistic. It’s clear to me that bethesda didn’t (consciously) pour a lot of thought and redesign into the combat mechanics. Don’t get me wrong, I love Skyrim, but not as much for its combat as the possibilities of what you can accomplish, and it’s there that beth hits the nail on the head, time and time again. Combat in games like Dragon Age, Kingdoms of Amalur, or God of War (ok, GoW is not an RPG) is more exciting and complex, imho.
