Morrowind hand to hand plus#
Plus the animations for KO-ed creatures and NPCs are rather hilarious.Ĭlearly I'm really late to this revelation, but over the years I've heard so much hate for H2H that I figured I should come and spread some love for an often-maligned combat skill. Like all combat animations in MW, the H2H anims leave much to the imagination, but it's cool if you can think of it the right way - you're wearing down your opponent, letting them waste their energy, and then pummeling them to the ground. I'm still wary of taking on NPCs, especially in groups (3 Ashlander witch-women north of Ald-ruhn almost killed me when I got a little cocky), but I think eventually I could actually use H2H as my main skill, if I wanted. So lately I've been expanding my boxing matches to include bigger creatures, from Cliff Racers to Kagouti. *And*, even if they don't get staggered with every punch, you're hurting their Fatigue, which means they have less of a chance to hit you. Second thing: After your H2H skill gets around 40 or so, and you can hit pretty consistently, you can pretty much keep things staggered so they're not hitting you so much. I had to stop using it a while so my combat skills (which were Majors!) didn't fall behind. punching at him, making him sleepy?īut I gave it a shot, first reserving Hand to Hand 'practice' for creatures like Mudcrabs, Kwama Foragers, and Rats - small things that I could easily kill with weapons if I needed to.įirst thing I noticed: Hand to Hand raises *really* fast, even with a Combat specialization. So some guy is hitting me with a sword, hurting my actual *Health*, while I'm. The whole "only damages Fatigue at first" thing seemed odd, and also super dangerous.
I wanted to see how it worked, as I've never used it before. Right now I'm playing a Nord Crusader - the default class, with Hand to Hand as a minor skill. My favorite equalizer is a mix of Corprus Weepings, Corkbulb and Crabmeat for combination Fortify Luck/Restore Health/Lighting Shield.Further testing needed, but it's dawning on me that Hand to Hand isn't exactly the 'useless' combat skill I've often thought it to be. If you're feeling a little fragile in the early stages, a little Alchemy can help a lot. It's not necessary to make the build work, but it does add a lot of fun.
When you get your skill high enough you can easily manage three or four like this.Īlso, I'd echo /u/ceetc in recommending Vampire Embrace & Vampiric Hunger for a H2H play. He'll be pretty woozy and a couple of hits will put him back down again. If one falls, concentrate on the next one, but keep an eye for the first one getting back up. Once they're down, then you can go for the big wind up.įor multiple opponents, stagger one and change targets. You have a high stagger chance and lots of hits means you can keep them stun-locked for much of the fight. Just spam the attack as fast as it'll go.
Morrowind hand to hand full#
Normally in Morrowind you want to hold attack button down until the weapon comes right back so get full damage. You can jump over opponents' heads as well, but you really need quite good Acrobatics before you can make that work.ĭon't try and wind your blows right up. It's not only the governing attribute for H2H and unarmored, but it's useful for maneuvering in combat and making sure you don't get surrounded. I'd suggest building for Speed initially. My favourite build is based around Unarmored/H2H for combat and I have a blast with it. Public Moderation Logs RSS Please refer to the guide on reddiquette before commenting and posting.
