User blog comment:Mr.Sleeping/SKYRIM: Confirmed Skills/@comment-4043978-20110730000710

I dont want to get in the middle of this :D Anyways, i love how they streamline more and more as the game series goes along, taking off all of these minute and miniscule skills, although cool. for example, backstabbing, critical strike, unarmored, axe, hammer, shortsword, dagger, longsword, broadsword, spear, etc are all VERY branchy skills off of the simple and unique ones now used coherently in Skyrim...is coherent the right word? anyways, backstabbing, for instance seems to be useless, as stealth can cover the aspect of stabbing one's back, or doing so with a critical strike, which would knock off "critical strike" as well.
