I was wondering why every npc fights (back) with his bare hands, head and feet, without any use of weapons. But some are carrying weapons, so why not let them use them. Fighting goblins, armoured to their teeth, who constantly try to tackle, headbutt or kick you doesn't seem very convincing.
Additionally, some fighting elements could be added. In case of swordfighting, messages like sounds of the metal can be heard as the swords strike on eachother, really give some more atmosphere to the game.
