Will combat ever evolve past backpeddling until enemy is dispatched?

At least adjust backwards speed to reflect you cannot run backwards as fast as you can forwards. Just saying.

I have never in any bethesda games just moved further and further back to defeat enemies.

Fallout 3, fallout 4.

sounes like someone is just bad at the game then, if you have to keep holding down S to defeat enemies.

In zero g you can go in any direction at whatever speed. Just hard to stop until you hit something.

Yep unless you have thrusters of some sort.
I hate the movie Gravity for it's failure to adhere to the laws of physics.

This is most noticeable in Oblivion and I'd say got a little less ridiculous each release. I don't remember doing this in Fallout 4 at all really.

I dueling moving backward as well as forward right and left is part of the swordplay.

Good luck trying to "backpedal" your way through space combat.

But yeah, "kiting" has always been present in the majority of non-turn based combat models. It's usually a matter of whether or not your enemies have mobility or tackle related abilities designed to close distance or debuff you to reduce the ability of the player to use kiting.

That being said, there are plenty of games out there where there's a limit to how much advantage you can get from just kiting, though it does tend to be reasonably effective in most open-world games.
