Is anyone getting sick of hearing about this nerdfest?

Anyone else noticed the cool bonus for proper twitch blocking? :mrgreen: M&B blocking reflexes rewards you in Skyrim quite nicely.
Not sure what bonus you speak of
Grab 2h'd warhammer. Time your block for exactly the moment their weapon is about to hit you. Watch as you not only throw their attack back in a short stun but your guy also bashes them with the haft of the warhammer, sometimes triggering the 2-hit fatality if you swing right afterwards.
Probably works the same with the 2h'd swords and axes too I'd assume.
Ahhhhh, been playing only 1h/shield but I'll try that, sounds like fun.
How is that? I heard from a reliable source* that there's shield bashing?
*Also known as browsing the perk lines :)
Yes there is, at first shield bashing is only used to stagger your foes, but with proper perks you can increase the damage and do a power bash (by holding attack when blocking). There's also a peark that slows down time when someone is doing a power attack while you are blocking, so you have a bigger window to bash him while he's doing the attack, thus cancelling his power strike :D
It's a handy thing, good versus casters too as you can keep them stunned/cancel their spell just by bashing.
The deflect arrows perk doesn't work very well imo, found arrows that went thru my shield a few times.
Goddamn... Now I kind of wish I had gone the shield route, lol. Shield bashing. Fucking boss.
Next playthrough I guess :) or just go shield when you get all the perks you wanted?I heard the lvl cap is 50, but I guess and hope some mods will change that soon.
Not sure what the level cap is though and how hard it is to gain perks at later levels.
SKYRIM!
