the only things they can do that melee weapons can't is
-get certain enchants -block arrows
and that's it
in a game like dark souls shields actually have purpose |

yes,
but that's not what a shield is meant to do, A SHIELD IS MEANT TO BLOCK ENEMY ATTACKS, DAGNABBIT |

you can also bash with a melee weapon if you're blocking with it |

melee weapons don't block half as much damage as shield after specializing in them
not to mention the slow-mo cam to interrupt power attacks and the captain america rush |

@FD Can't really go wrong with anything in skyrim. Heck you can beat most the game with just illusion. (And for some parts a follower) |

shields can actually be amazing in skyrim if you invest in Block a lot, but they're just..
so impractical not to mention leveling Block while progressing through the game is a lot harder than leveling something like One-Handed |
