Much like how your attacks 'miss' even though it clips through the enemy on screen. There is no dodge animation, the enemy attacks and there is no damage. Try to tailor your character around it and later you can use training to get other skills as high as you like.Īrmor Skill and Agility affects your ability to dodge. Hmm, if you want an easier time I suggest you reroll the character and aim for your main weapon skill to be a bit higher. Are there any mods that are recommended, or tips I should know? No one else feel like this about the combat? Morrowind seems to get unanimous praise here so I've never seen anyone have problems with it. Now I've only played about 2 hours of it so far but I need to know if it was worth my time continuing given my current impression. I had to decrease the difficulty massively to compensate, and now I have cleared my first dungeon with low health and have found no healing items at all yet. The enemy has no such issues however and every strike connects.

My god the combat seems like a deal breaker, I had my ass handed to me! It seems that combat is mainly stats based, where it seems to me your skill in combat dictates how many of your strikes connect or not, and most of mine fail, even with one of my major skills being 35 in short blades. no regenerating health, all magic items require soul gem charges rather than the proportionally slim amount in Skyrim, more stuff to equip on your character, the intimidate/taunt/bribe etc system I first seen in Oblivion is here). no markers and no fast travel) but they don't seem like big deals to me at least yet, however, I can already see there is more depth mechanically here than Skyrim at least (e.g. It definitely seems a product of its time and some amenities many people have got used to aren't here (e.g. Seeing as Morrowind GOTY was on sale on Steam and everyone raves about it I picked it up. I've only played Oblivion and Skyrim before now and I didn't like Oblivion (despite multiple attempts, I thought it was as stale as week old piss) but I did enjoy Skyrim (even if the novelty of it wore off once you realise its repetitiveness).
