Basically... this. I'd love to have a single weapon/fencing skill line as well as "true" Elder Scrolls spells.Polearms/spears would be a nice addition as well.

spears... old TES3 style throwing them to enemies.... +1 from my side!

The world of Elder Scrolls (or any other video game really ) =/= Our own world, so why should we have to equate it point for point in order to justify the addition of a weapon line?

Because form still follows function, perhaps? because logic still remains the same? Because all fantasy worlds are based more or less on our world, seeing how that is the only one we can turn to to see what works and what not?

Oh, certainly, there are a lot of differences, not in the least all those borne from the "what if" of magic...

But one thing that Does remain the same is that humanoid creatures have two hands, and thus using the offhand for -something- in battle would be more effective then not using it, and thus preferable, just like it had been throughout our bloody history of warfare.

Now what it might be used for. that is a different matter... be it shield, offhand weapon or spell (that last one is missing, and something I'd really like to see added...)
