Skill Stagnation

Panda_iMunch

With the up coming DLC, it brings me great joy to see a lot of balance changes made to make PvP and PvE a little more diverse.

However, I am a little sadden to see that there will be little done to add more depth to the skill system as a whole. As I see it, the game is getting nothing more than just a bunch of fixes that balance things out. No more extra stam morphs on class abilities to give stam users some identity, no magicka morphs or passives for blunt or blade weapons to give that spell blade vibe, no armor sets that introduce a new mechanic that alters a play style viable or freshens up said style. Just fixes, although much needed to be fair.

I just feel that there should be some new mechanics or a revitalization of old ones to spice things as they are! Maybe a item set that turns sorc pets into dwemer automatons? Could be interesting, but I doubt we will see the likes of anything new until Zenimax is done stroking the fan service shaft in the hopes of getting some of that streamlined nostalgia...

Best of wishes

I bet you get a lot of, "fix the bugs before new content!"

Or, "PvP balance before new content!"

Or, "dlcs are just a money grab!"

I personally think that we need to wait till after dark brotherhood, because I know companies actually have things planned years in advance and everything we see now and immediate future is more or less set in stone.

The only thing they have set in stone is the areas they will be pumping out, the combat side of things is more or less up to the creativity and dexterity of the staff. To see any combat changes paired with content is not true all the time, see new passives for context.

No ETA for the combat atm :P
