You did not list the variance in physical combat in Skyrim, I did. End of "argument."
It is? Really? Because I'm pretty sure there's no way to actually smash your hammer into the ground and paralyze everyone around you at the cost of X stamina? I checked the perks for the warhammer, but all they do is ignore armor. And no, it's not a new spell effect. It's a skill that you could activate, let's say you could also slam it into the ground and activate a magic barrier around you to take damage for a few seconds while you can safely drink a few potions. That's the type of variety and gameplay-changing skills I'm talking about.

You have clearly stated that there IS variety in the physical combat, but it's so little that it barely even changes anything. 9/10 hits will still be regular attacks, since everything is based on chance. I've played enough MMOs to know that a system based on luck will not work in a multiplayer game.
How do I put this nicley, please reread what was written: All you're talking about is the same hammer with a different spell effect.

Theres no bow that commands all animals to chase enemies and explode either, guess combat isn't varied enough.

This is going nowhere. Locking this until you both have cooled down and stop going in circles.
