This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]424891[/split]
The Block skill works slightly differently from Oblivion's Block skill.
Having skill in the Block combat art allows the Dragonborn to parry or absorb melee and archery attacks with shields and two-handed weapons. Block with one-handed weapons is also possible if left hand stays unoccupied. Successful blocks reduce damage.
Blocking is not possible while dual wielding weapons, dual casting spells or having a weapon in one hand and a spell in the other. It's not available with bows either, although bows are still able to be used for bashing.
Blocking is not automatic, but equipping a shield gives a bonus to the overall defense rating. Blocking is more reaction-based in Skyrim.
It is possible to block with one-handed weapons and daggers, but they will be significantly less effective than using a shield or two-handed weapon. Additionally, the perks Deflect Arrows and Elemental Protection do not seem to work without using a shield. All other perks will apply to weapon blocking.
I need to know something. When I defeat Alduin, does that put an end to the Dragon threat? Or are they still roaming around, so I can continue to collect Dragon Souls?
Me too...but NOT before FO 4!
I'm not entirely familiar with Fallout lore, but I think one way to do it would be to set it in a region like Pittsburgh (The Pitt, in Fallout lore). There are major cities that weren't hit directly by the bombs. Set it in that region. Though the radiation spread and the change to civilization destroyed those cities, there could still be surrounding areas of the non-hit cities that are more or less, geologically and environmentally sound.
Btw, a Companion question. What happens if I become a Werewolf before joining the Companions?
I do too, but i hope they drastically alter the world to not be so, concrete, so to speak. The post apocalyptic worlds from the previous fallouts were some of the most dull, and boring worlds that bethesda has created, visually. Ecspcially considering how many post apocalyptic games we have received this gen. The next world for the Fallout game needs to be much more Crysis 3 or The Last of Us than Fallout: New Vegas.
I still have tons to do though. I saved the entire Dragonborn DLC for last, the civil war will probably continue after Alduin's defeat, I might role play to join the companions as a mercenary for hire, because my Dragonborn is looking for a purpose, after the end of the world has been prevented. I'll still be busy for a while.
