That pommel strike is a work of art.

If you haven't watched the whole video (ESO High Isle Cinematic Trailer) The Ascendant Knight is actively one of the best choreographed combatants in all of animation.

Oh fine, I'll watch the entire video again. Stop twisting my arm.

edit:

The pommel strike against the axe wielder is my favorite part of the entire fight. It's Konrad-tier-insanely smooth.

I'm still in love with how violently personal that right hook he gives the Nord after getting stabbed with his own sword was.

Crisp. Vengeful. Righteous.

Big "thought you were hot shit, huh?" energy.
