I also think that this idea of blocking with a sword is a good idea; it would make fights much more realistic, especially when critical hits are implemented. Also, the idea that NPC's have a chance to completely block your strike would also be nice; perhaps, different types of NPC's would have different chances to block the strike. For example, a Gondor soldier has a 60% chance of successfully blocking a melee or ranged attack, but a Mordor Orc only has a 35% chance of blocking the attack. This would make fights between factions much more realistic; Gondor Solders were much better trained than Orcs, and would most certainly be more likely to block attacks; they would also be more likely to land a critical hit.
