good points OP. calmly walking around a tree in a circle while 2 druegr archers, a blob and and an axe draugr follow behind you, missing all thier swings, while you get a drip of stamina so you can swing one more time; basically proves how stupid the stamina and combat system is in this game. it would be indefensible, but with the white-knighting this game receives, it will never be adjusted.

fat, twinkie eating, pot smoking developers, that get out of breath when they take their garbage to the corner... shouldnt be making stamina systems in video games.
