  At least unarmed has the BEST killcams.

  Makes up for the lack of other flashy visuals in my book.

  It wold be interesting to see in Elder Scrolls:6 although unlikely in the end. But yeah add that and spears and I'm I'm editable happy, also make the world you know a little more open by including climbing/falling and just generally making it more navigateble by just giving us more options, let us take to the roof of a house man.

  What makes you think it's unlikely?

  I just think it's unlikely based on the fact that they took it out, I really hope I'm wrong to be honest but the inclusion or an unarmed fighting technique, which would require extra animations, perks (or whatever they end up using), a skill possibly, items to boost if more and just a whole bunch of extra work, I'm assuming that's why they took a lot of the unique weapons out of the game, lessen the animations to focus on other things. But if Dawnguard gives us anythin to go by maybe they have seen. that now they've taken it away we all want it back and they'll give it back, who knows.

  Hi guys, I played an unarmed build by using a glitch I found and never seen around. I called that glitch "Vampire Lord in Human Form" and allows us to keep some night powers and passive bonuses from that form, included the vampire's claws bonus. In this way you have 80\100 (can't remember and confirm later) unarmed base damage + racial base damage. I'll share that glitch with all of you, but I'm going to release a build using that glitch in 2 months.

  Let me know what you think about it.

  It sounds like an interesting glitch that's for sure. The end result seems like it could be fairly powerful.

  Surely it's very powerful, your stats are the same as in VL form, but luckily has a powerful drawback… All guards of the nine holds will attack you on sight.

  Question, ladies and gents. When we think of monks we are defining the term in accordance with how they are portrayed in the fantasy genre primarily and with real world influence secondary, yes?

  I mean, we think of unarmed combatants with a shaolin influence. However, I'm in a bit of a pickle about how to define something I've been working on for a while and it occurs to me that the term monk in real life applies to a philosophy and adherence to an ascetic way of life. In that respect, the term monk would also apply to the Knights Templar, an order not particularly well known for their unarmed proficiency.

  The project I refer to is not a Templar, but the Ternion Monks of Skyrim. Yet, due to their very Nordic tradition they are unlikely to be masters of the way of the fist, but rather the more Nordic arts war. So even if the build was called a Ternion Monk, it wouldn't be correct to use the "Monk" tag would it?

  It is indeed the fantasy genre of Monks that we most generally define them with around here. Personally I see no problem with your use of the term (the tag is something you might want to bring up with the Host of whatever group your posting this project in.)

  I mean many Monks in fantasy aren't confined to their fists, they often get bonuses but they quite often have short swords, daggers and bows at the very least available for use, so we know that even in the Fantasy Genre, they aren't confined to their fists only.
