ITT: Lucky pretends he's played Skyrim when he actually hasn't.
It was a bit lazy of Bethesda to make the assumption "oh, the parts of the community that care about better combat will just mod it in," but it was a correct and cost-effective assumption. Six months from now Skyrim will have the combat that the combat people want. Fie on them for not including locational damage if it was in Fallout, though.
Anyhow, I will white knight Bethesda as long as I can since they're the only people doing the open world model well (besides maybe Rockstar). And sneaky combat/archery is fairly well implemented.
But yes, it has been said multiple times on the internet that Skyrim combined with the sort of combat you saw in, say, Demon's Souls/Dark Souls would be the perfect RPG experience.
