OK, if you're going at
Skyrim with a weapon, you're doing it wrong. Watch the video below and be shown how it's really done. Only badasses go around without a weapon and the guy in the video tells you how to do it. I got to admit, I laughed a ton watching this video. There's a ton of bad language so be sure to put on your headphones if you are in public. I'm really tempted to try playing like this though.
