    It’s been almost 20 years since I’ve played the original, so I may be misremembering its difficulty. I remember it being super easy to cheese everything, just like in the remaster. Really, I don’t have a high opinion of vanilla combat in any of the Elder Scrolls games. I think Avowed did an excellent job of showing how FPS RPG combat can be accomplished well.

      Loved Avowed, definitely great. Not perfect, but made me forget my worries while I played it. I went dual pistols, you?

        Yeah, Avowed definitely has its flaws in other areas of the game, but its combat was a lot of fun, in my opinion. I really think it got way more hate than it deserved. I’m the same way when reviewing games: If it’s fun enough to make me look forward to playing it the next day and I forget about the real world a little bit while I’m playing, then I feel like it accomplished its purpose.

        I started out as 2h hammer, but ultimately did shield and 1h axe. I’d probably do a magic centric run next if I ever do a replay, as the magic system did feel pretty good whenever I’d use it as my off-hand.
