I'm an experienced martial artist, and I tried swinging 2 nunchakus around once (like Li Long from Soul Calibur)
It ended with me having this painful brown bump on my forehead for 3 weeks :S"In the Storyteller's name, I stand upon the bones of the world. I drink in the promise and power of nature's law, and breathe out my thanks."

Yup, because all martial artists swing around nunchakus for defense. I would surmise you are not that experienced if you cannot masterfully, lethally manipulate two nunchakus at the same time. Hell, if Bruce Lee could do it, so can you. Just as...if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a meteor.
That all said, still not the same as swinging around a magical long staff and a sword now is it??PS4 NA Server

The mistake I made back then was applying the same logic that I normally use when wielding my Tonfa or Sai. Or the Kama even
But unfortunately chain weapons have a logic of their own...
For a sword and a staff, I think it's the same principle as a Sword and Shield: using the staff to deflect or block. Though it's obviously not as ideal"In the Storyteller's name, I stand upon the bones of the world. I drink in the promise and power of nature's law, and breathe out my thanks."

It would be ridiculous.

✭In the real Elder Scrolls staffs are one handed but neither games get it quite right. Also staffs should double as walking sticks..the resto staff gets this half right with the idle pose but then goes destro staff the moment you move.
On a side note, why does the destro staff have a different idle pose? The resto staff standing pose is great, it should be this way for both.

Oh an I have swung around two swords before and sword and bostaff . I'm ambidextrous irl . It can be done if the staff is used for parry and the sword for thrusts and sweeps . Sweeping with the staff throws me off balance . You'd be amazed at the stuff we've done in the toy isle at Walmart . -

✭✭✭This is Tamriel not Middle Earth. Also Gandalf is not the norm for magic wielders in fantasy; he was a demi-god. His power far outstrips that of normal fantasy characters be them in games or novels.
Actually for all we know Tamriel could be Middle-Nirn.

I played a game that had wands that were one-handed, but did not allow you to cast spells unless you held only the wand or were bare-handed. Holding a wand and shield or any metal weapon disqualified you from casting spells.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

It doesn't, and it still wouldn't make Tamriel and Middle Earth the same place, lol. But I'll give you points for a clever try!Roehamad_Ali wrote: »
Well the norm for most characters certainly isn't that they are immortal demi-gods/cosmic aspects of magic that resurrect when the mortal inhabitants of the world are in dire straights such as Gandalf was. Unless you think that is the norm. And then, well, that's just how you feel, man.
