Think back to Morrowind though, or the shivering isles expansion of Oblivion. Silt striders, Gate keepers, Guar, Kwama, Netch, Elytra, Scalon. These are all super exotic, original and wonderful monsters that were plentiful and took good imagination and originality to come up with. Skyrim was just released so I'm hoping we see new exotic creatures soon. But still, it feels like in the way of enemys they slowly lost their touch in originality.
Again, I'm not complaining or whining about it. This is just something that gets me super into a game. I like seeing new ideas i'v never seen before.
