As most of you know, there have been a lot of changes to combat diversity through the series.

From Morrowind to Oblivion, medium armor got removed, spears were removed, long blade and short blade got condensed to blade, while blunt weapon and axe got condensed to blunt.

From Oblivion to Skyrim, Hand to Hand got removed, and blade/blunt was dismissed in favor of one handed/two handed.

additionally, weapon selection was simplified, as morrowind had everything from halberds to staves and sabers and katanas and tantos and wakizashis and much more. as well as throwing stars/knives/darts for archery.

In Oblivion all you had to choose from was dagger, shortsword, longsword, claymore, waraxe, battleaxe, mace and warhammer, and bow. Skyrim further took away shortsword/longsword and replaced them with sword, and unarmed combat was no longer a skill.

What do you think of this direction? Do you agree with removing unarmed combat, spears, and throwing weapons, or even blade/blunt over 1H/2H? This has been bugging me, and I don't think I should expect Bethesda to increase diversity for TES6. But I can dream.

Thoughts?
