BugsEdit

• PC, PS3, 360 - When the skill is activated from blocking an enemies Power Attack, the slow-motion effect may last a lot longer than it should, sometimes indefinately, sometimes until the end of combat. -- This can be resolved by going through a door or entrance that causes a load screen, or waiting an hour in-game if it persists after combat. The player can also break free of this bug by talking to a follower or some other NPC that allows conversation.
  • The benefits of this bug are mostly tied to combat. Enemies take a lot longer to detect and attack the player, so dispatching them without taking damage is easy, and traps are effectively useless since the player can effortlessly move through them before the trap can take effect. It's also just pretty cool to let fly a couple arrows, run past said arrows as they go, and then watch them embed themselves in your target.
  • There are annoying drawbacks, however, when the player tries to interract with the world (opening chests, looting enemies, opening non-inter-world doors), since all of these objects have to carry through an animation which is significantly slower. Doors and objects that would open in a second or two now take thrice as long (or longer) to open, and enemies take a while to hit the ground once they are killed. The player can not use magic when this bug is in effect.
