Should we be able to keep one arm free in combat?

So you'd be okay with taking a stat loss?

Carrying a shield or another weapon gives you more stats.. Two handed weapons usually have 2x the stats as a one handed weapon so it makes up for it.

For what purpose?

You can cast other abilities while using both hands.

Draft of just such a skill line from almost a year ago.

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/237212/reminder-we-want-a-one-handed-skill-line/p1 Yeah...this has been requested more than a few times....I'm sure I could find an even older thread if I looked hard enough.

If they can give a substantial enough advantage to it, I'm on board.

Not going to say yes to a hypothetical muse. Without some thought to accompany the minor idea it's meaningless and pointless.

I think this would be useful if you have made a tall character with long arms.

If I had a toon like that I could put my free hand on the enemies forehead and keep them at arms length, and try as they might they can swing away but I will be out of their reach due to their relatively short arms.

I could then be free to smack them silly with the mace I am holding in the other hand.

Of course I can see the saltiness already. Forums lighting up with QQ about ZOS developing this in order to generate crown store sales for character appearance changes in order for all chars to have the maximum length arms. The bosmer crew will especially feel hard done by I guess.

Hmm?

What are you talking about, mate?

Edit: After looking through your profile, I think you're referring to my bad idea about guns in ESO. I assure you, I have learned my lesson.

As far as arguments for one-hand free skill...I also agree more skill lines should be opened...mainly unarmed.
