Enemies and companions' health bar shows at the top of the screen with a red line which shrinks when they are successfully attacked damage to health. Weapons also have varying weight depending on the size and material, so may cause the player to become overburdened. Single handed weapons deal less damage per strike but are faster and the other hand left can be used for a shield or other weapon. As with fists, weapons can be used with the attack button PC: LMB and holding the button before releasing will result in a power attack which deals more damage to an opponent. The player is able to acquire a variety of weapons and armor by buying from shops in towns, won through quests, collected from dead opponents, or made in forges.
