I don't know. At level 20ish the combat seems realitic enough, and hardly predictable. Tonight I got taken by surprise by an expert blunt attacker with a huge mace and got flung about 30 feet to the side and stunned for 15 seconds while he bore down on me bludgeoning me silly. I've also figured out how to disarm my opponents occasionally now.
As for blocking, ok I can see how that would work for 1v1 combat. How about 1v2, or 1v3, or 1v10? As I run on down the road, I am frequently fighting four opponents, like a couple bandits, a boar, and a bear at times. I think Oblivion does pretty good without having the "Combat Animation" type arcade game feel.
