Are you all aware of this?

Post » Thu Aug 19, 2010 11:53 pm

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't share any of these concerns, for the people who misunderstood. This thread points out a list of problems that some people share concern with about Skyrim.
Besides that, some of the things that are mentioned on the list are not necessarily true and are only concerns forum members pointed out over the time spent around this forum.


I decided to check how many things that bother us there are before the game even got out yet xD

So, here it is, hopefully it won't create any flaming wars or something like this... This thread is for all to notice the fact that we have this many problems with the game and it hasn't gotten out yet xD which is hilariously funny, at least for me.

  • People are worried about the possibility of no spellmaking.
  • People are worried about the removal of attributes (everything they did is still in the game, only in a different form of perks/skills/etc).
  • People are worried about the removal of Athletics and Acrobatics, as well as Mysticism. Mysticism's spells gone to other magic schools and still exist.
  • People are worried about the concept of dragons.
  • People are worried about that there might be a simple and fan oriented storyline that includes no depth - Also, was the concern of some.
  • People are worried about having too many dragons(?).
  • People are worried about fast travel - adding Morrowind like options or the "Don't like it don't use it argument".
  • People are worried about having quest markers and quest compass.
  • People are worried about the removal of Birthsigns (it's most likely they are now the perk trees you see when looking towards the sky)
  • People are worried about possibly not seeing your legs or upper torso.
  • People are worried about not having enough choices and consequences in quests and thus, limiting your "Freedom" as a character.
  • People are worried about that the combat system might be - slash, slash, slash, block, finishing move, similar to Oblivion's combat system only with a finishing move.
  • People are worried about that the PC version was downgraded due to consoles capabilities.
  • People are worried about the removal of classes, now specializing according to what you do and not according to what you choose at the beginning of the game.
  • People are worried about low resolution textures (spotted in the trailer).
  • People are worried about the possibly not being able to climb mountains.
  • People are worried about not being able to block if you are equipped with a spell and a weapon.
  • People are worried about the lack of spears.
  • People are worried about no-good looking waters in Skyrim due to the water we've seen in the trailer (I personally think they look good).
  • People are worried about how powerful magnetism will be.
  • People are worried about that dragons might be the "New Oblivion gates" or possibly the new Cliffracers.
  • People are worried about that Skyrim will have less role playing options.
  • People are worried about not having separate armor slots. Having a system similar to Fallout 3.
  • People are worried about dragons being too easy and lame or too hard and exhausting.
  • There exists suspicions of the trailer's dragon fight being scripted.
  • There are fears of Todd giving misleading information about RAI and the rest of the game, which will not be included in the game after its release (similar to what happened with RAI in Oblivion).
  • People are worried about not having mounts.
  • People are worried about being limited due to children being invincible (which will not be discussed in this thread... WARNING)
  • People are worried about level scaling, and what it will be like now (and if it'll really be like Fallout's 3 system).
  • People are worried about not having open cities.
  • People are worried about Skyrim being about the same size as Oblivion.
  • People are worried about no levitation.
  • The most important concern out here: People are worried that there's a small chance M'aiq the liar will not be in Skyrim!


So, yeah, just wanted all of you to be aware of this xD I'm actually giggling right now a little... Anyway, if you can think of more problems mentioned that I didn't put on the list, you might as well post them and I'll add them to this "Official problems with Skyrim list" of mine.

EDIT: The game hasn't even released yet! xD

IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't have a problem with even one of the above :) Just mentioning the problems that occurred around this forum.
For those of you who didn't understand, I am laughing at the amount of problems we (as the community) have with the game, not about the problems with it or that we even have problems with it.

You just opened up a nasty, nasty can of worms. For the record, not a single one of those do I have a problem with.

Awesome! then you've learned something new! :)

It's a little feature included to help you aim at your enemies rather than your friends.

My only problem with the game is that Blocking will now be required to use Two Triggers instead of one. Other then that I'm really happy with what I've heard so far.

This just goes to show that people will complain about anything. If it's new, different, or staying the same, people are upset.

I'm fine with all of those things.

When I go to bed tonight, not seeing ingame legs, and a few low res textures, will not cause me to lose 1 seconds sleep, the only problem I really have is with the blocking mechanics, not being able to parry with a one handed weapon sounds really odd.

I have issues with a lot of this stuff... a lot, if they turn out to be true ofc. quite afew of these are speculation (as you well know). But we all know I'll buy the game in the end anyway (except if there is even less armor slots than OB)

    [*]No spellmaking.
    I have not seen or heard about this being confirmed ANYWHERE.

  • Simple and fan oriented storyline that includes no depth - Also, was the concern of some.
    Todd has stated numerous times that the story (side quest and main quest) will greatly be effected by how you play, but is also had crafted to be interesting and intriguing.

  • The possible removal of Birthsigns.
    Birthsigns like in oblivion and morrowind has been removed, but your perk tree will be those three signs, so you will in a way still have a birth sign depending on which three you prefer to follow.

  • Not enough choices and consequences in quests and thus, limiting your "Freedom" as a character.
    there is various consequences to many actions and plenty of choices in the entire game I have a threadhttp://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1194696-hyped-about-the-skyrim-economy/ explaining some of those many choices.

  • PC version being downgraded due to consoles capabilities.
    Todd has stated that this is not true (in the game informer podcast if I'm not mistaken)

  • Low resolution textures (spotted in the trailer).
    Todd has stated that every console (depending on how good your PC is, also stating that there are low res options) will be high resolution, while also stating PCs might look better because you're sitting closer.

  • Possibly not being able to climb mountains.
    depending on your definition of climb, climb is not a skill, it will be like oblivion and according to Todd the game is much larger than oblivion due to the great depths of the mountains.

  • Not being able to block if you are equipped with a spell and a weapon..
    This has not been stated. (to my knowledge)

  • Worries of no-good looking waters in Skyrim due to the water we've seen in the trailer.
    We've seen beautiful water in both trailers and screen shots.

  • Worries that Skyrim will have less role playing options.
    Role playing has been greatly enhanced both in your effects on the community and in the increase in non-combat related tasks. (once again more information about that http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1194696-hyped-about-the-skyrim-economy/)

  • Fears of Todd giving misleading information about RAI and the rest of the game, which will not be included in the game after its release (similar to what happened with RAI in Oblivion).
    Oblivion's "RAI" was not highly publicized, it was for a new system, they didn't have enough time to get it working properly so they had to introduce it in a very limited for. As for Skyrim it's highly publicized and Todd has stated that they've greatly advanced in making it work, also that it will be available for mods in the construction kit, so you'll actually be able to play with it yourself.

  • Not having mounts.
    They are working on it, and will likely have it, that has been stated many times.

  • Not having open cities.
    Don't know what you mean by that.

  • Skyrim being about the same size as Oblivion.
    3 dimensionally it's much bigger than oblivion according to interviews, with much more variety in dungeons and various other things.

    I hope this helps correct these many fallacies.

*Reads through list*

Nah, no worries there..
To be honest half of that list is "Worries", "Fears" and "Possibly". I will only worry if and when the game is out and I`ve played it.

Most of those things are really petty. The only one's I'm worried about are the armor system being something like that in FO3, and no spellmaking... but neither of those were confirmed yet, were they?

In the words of the great Peter Hines, "We aren't making a Fallout game", when asked about armor slots.

I'm worried about them using the Fallout 3 method of armor where everything is 2 piece.
With magical rings etc I doubt this will happen but now you have gotten me nervous :(
