They should add a hand to hand combat skill line, they kinda had it in other elder scroll games. In Oblivion you could level up your unarmed combat skill and there were items that boosted the damage you did with unarmed attacks. They could have special glove weapons or knuckles for it.

    That would be a pretty interesting feature for PVP. Especially with talks of arenas and all that jazz... Hm... Out of curiosity, wouldn't the Khajiits be best at this though? Being as they have claws?

    Also, if I'm not mistaken... I think in TES:Skyrim there was a bonus Khajiits received to unarmed/melee combat. Either Khajiits or Argonians. One of the two. And that made things a tad bit easier for quests in which your weapons were removed, and you weren't a user of magic. So yeah.

    All and all, I'd love to see it incorporated into this game. It'd certainly liven up PVP a bit. That's for sure.

    I miss my Monk from Morrowind. Last game that had a true H2H skill line that I enjoyed because it could be paired with Unarmored.

    Of course people will come in and say it can't be because it's not real. Well, getting a beat down to the last inch of your life and fully restoring your health and condition in a second or two with a potion made from flowers is not real either.

    Hand to Hand could be made to be a viable skill line even in the MMO environment.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Agreed. I can think of numerous examples of which it would be an amazing asset/tool to have at your disposal. Numerous.

    Hand to hand from Oblivion. Lot of comic value in the skill line. Able to block weapon attacks with your arm, then beat the crap out of an npc. Was kind of tedious leveling the skill.

    Like Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star?

    Call the ultimate: "Atatatata" and have it use like 50 ultimate. Lol.

    It was the Khajiit, their claws gave them a racial bonus for Melee damage as well as the night vision skill. I never used it though, I was all about Dat Magic.

    Both Argonians and Khajiit had higher unarmed damage in Skyrim than the other races. Khajiit had a racial bonus on top of that

    Ah, I knew it was one of them.

    And yes, I agree. Morokei+Arch Mage Robes=GG. Or if you were a boss and had it sweet enough, you'd be fine with the 2 Dremora Lords by your side, and a pair of Master Robes of Destruction.

    Please Zenimax. Please bring hand-to-hand combat into this game, and make it a thing. Please! There's so many different ways you could go about incorporating it, and have it tie in beautifully with the fighting mechanics of this game.

    hmm would hand to hand weapons be blacksmithing or clothing? Or Both?? Like Blacksmithing for Knuckles or Katars and Clothing for Leather studded gauntlets? The Leather could be faster and the black smithed ones could add armor? or something. They could do something with it.

    Maybe it could be implemented as a different stance, like Overload does for Sorcs. That way ZOS could add a disarm mechanic: if you're disarmed, you have to fight hand to hand until you use your Ultimate: Weapon Regain

    Class skills and H2H skills could be used in that stance

    Never really worried much about leveling the skill, but using leveling the skill to raise Speed stat... Well, let's just say a lot of mudcrabs got in slapfights with me.

    The H2H could be more acrobatic since it carries less weight than other weapons.

    Oh there's been fist fighting in keeps, it's just not a skill line.
