NPCs have Spears and Animations to use them, why don't we?

LionheartRichard✭✭✭Not the even close to the same as having spear weapons.
I want to play as a Dragoon, that is my class in Morrowind.0 -

✭Sometime between Morrowind and Oblivion, someone at ZOS developed an irrational hatred for spears. It is irrational because spears have been well implemented in other games (eg. Dark Souls), because spears were arguably the most common weapon in the ancient/medieval combat that is the foundation for ES combat, and finally because many of their players kept (and keep) asking for them. The fact that the Templar has a spear animation means there is no technical reason for ZOS not having them.
The simple answer is we don't know. No one at ZOS seems to have an answer. Someone deep in the bowels of Bethesda just hates spears for some irrational reason no one knows.Templars are 'just slower... by design'
Yes, Gina actually said that (at least regarding Rushed Ceremony) right here:

"My name is Julius Decimus Heraclius, Guildmaster of the Scions of the Sun, Brigadier of the Covenant Army, loyal servant to the High King Emeric. Brother to a betrayed legion, son to a fallen empire. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." ---Julius Decimus Heraclius (Imperial Templar)1 -

Oblivion release year - 2006
Zenimax Online Studios founded year - 20071 -
LionheartRichard✭✭✭My idea would be to just include them under Two Handed. Have the same abilities and passives as Greatswords, just unique regular attacks.0

✭It's sweet dreaming to have the animations match the weapon we are wielding.
I really hate jabbing with an epic spear animation and then goofly showing the 2H sword back in my hands.0 -
