Is that a daedric mace? I haven’t seen one yet in my remastered playthrough cause I’m only lvl 15. Idk why but it looks like your character is holding the mace super high up on the handle and looks super unfamiliar like that, maybe I just haven’t equipped a mace in the remaster yet so see the default grip

Also super sick stun lock lol, love shields in both oblivion and Skyrim

Didn’t realise you could bash in the remaster. I might have to do a shield/sword playthrough.

Bash was in og as well, it's just wasn't manually controlled.

Oh shit, in 20 years I don’t think I ever played a character that used a shield or utilised block a lot😂

Yeah, manual dodge is much more useful in this game. Block is more of a last resort thing, imo.

Also, the bash is opened with a lvl50 skill perk I think, they kinda tried to redo the MW's chance of block (which was blocking full physical damage in exchange of shield health) into the chance of bash, though I'm not sure whether it is affected by agility in Obl like it was in MW.

I also wonder if agility and armor rating in remastered does affect chance of bash stagger like it was affecting hit stagger chance in original, cause if not - then they made block as shitty op as it is in Skyrim.

It's expert level in both to unlock the shield bash

Haha, why did it take you so many hits to kill him?

Could be high difficulty, makes enemies pretty spongey.

Why the downvote? No explanation. Okay

Reddit is swarmed with bots, some might down/updoot for activity on occasion.

Also might be just some asshole.
