Hand to Hand

Did they nerf Hand to Hand? I remember in the original, whenever you reached the next stage in Hand to Hand, one of your power attacks would change animation, with the Master level forward thrust being like a martial arts looking forward thrust that could paralyze your opponents; it doesn't list that here. I'll be a bit annoyed if I spent this time leveling it up, only to find out it's been changed for the worse, like it was in Skyrim lol.

Yeah hand to hand peaked in Morrowind and OG Oblivion. I can't believe they messed it up in the remaster. Basically they gave us a disarming strike that doesn't work on a ton of enemies and changed the way fatigue works. Lowering fatigue used to make enemies do less damage and you were able to KO enemies once their fatigue ran out. I am very salty. Waiting for a mod to fix it.

Yes, they removed power attacks from all weapon skills, so as far as I know you can no longer Paralyze, knock down, disarm, etc. with H2H or any other weapon. Looks like Marksman got it pretty bad too. The Paralyze chance is 25% (I believe you could get it to like 40% in original?) and it lost the crucial knockdown chance
