Blocking
question does blocking ever get good in this game because it feels so worthless compared to skyrim where enemies stagger more and you can bash to parry attacks while in this game the enemies never seem to stagger and are able to swing like crazy

At higher level blocking staggers enemies more reliably, high level still you will get a chance to bash your enemy which If memory serves disarms your opponent.

Really? I thought whoever attacks the one who's blocking always gets stagger in this game, regardless of skill level. Perhaps it depends on your Fatigue or something?
The only block that doesn't stagger anyone is low-level hand to hand.

No kinda like staggering from a hit, shield staggers chance is based on your block and the enemies weapon skill(with higher weapon skill hitting a blocking enemy will not stagger you and vice versa).

Overall blocking is actually pretty good in this game, at least in my opinion strong than in skyrim.
