Now to business, as I had focused entirely on infantry before, I'll only provide feedback on it now.
The adjustments: I can live with the skills being lowered, but I have to ask why power throw is back down to 1...
We can swing swords, but we can't throw an axe... Sure it might not be accurate, but we can at least pick one up and toss it at somebody. I will now have an even deeper hatred of the archers that sit behind the invisible wall and riddle my shield with arrows. Which brings me to my next topic:
The shields: Infantry are supposed to be the guys with the shields. That's all anybody ever wanted them to do, and that's about all they were good for in hard mode... So why can't we use board shields anymore? Sure they aren't the best, but for infantry that haven't hit commando yet, they're as good as they get. (when you think of a shield wall, you think of a board shield. Not some guy holding a board shield and trying to fire a crossbow one handed, which they can't do in this game)
^ This one just seems odd to me.
Armor: I purposely chose the heavier leathers as opposed to the chain mail, as I didn't want to be a clone of my friend's character. Of the armor I had before the patch, I can wear my helmet and my gloves. Nice to know I won't get STDs from the Nords. (har har, but really, I enjoy wearing armor into battle)
My boots were the splinted greaves, and I had the cuir bouilli for my torso
I now feel like we're being pushed away from sword and board and made to focus on two handeds. This is odd to me, as like I said, we have no ranged attacks. What good is standing behind a shield wall going to do us when the longest weapon we can use now is the (tentatively speaking as I have yet to confirm this) flamberge... Which is an incredibly disappointing weapon.
Well, that's the end of my rant. Time to go Sexy and I know it on some Nords.
Thanks for reading devs. I will continue to play regardless of what others may be saying, and I support not supporting a petition.
Throwing was taken away from infantry to encourage hybridizing. Nothing stops people to take two tiers of skirmisher for some extra throwing power.
Board shields were moved to crossbowman class. All the infantry shields have been considerably buffed (all of them have now about 50% more HP). I dont see how you are pushed towards two handed in correlation with the patch changes.
