Forget DLC.....Overhaul the companion system and other cruci

Post » Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:35 am

Deep thought.......Marketing hyped the game.

Companion system nullifies any difficulty setting. This GREATLY upsets me.

Game immersion is weak: Everyone talking like Arnold while the kids have an American accent? WTHell??????? Anybody notice this?
Book reading and NPC's have lost their flavor: Actually, IMHO, reading books and overhearing NPC's at the right time, should have been the only ways to get to quests
Fast travel should have been EXTREMELY limited also


I feel ripped off, in one sense, as a paying customer. Bethesda dropped the ball and should have chosen customers who actually played past TES titles on varying difficulty levels to alpha & beta this title...they didn't and it shows: The complaining on this forum


Sweet Stefnuts...I am swooorn to complain about the game breaking companion system as long as Bethesda doesn't fix it

There needs to be more command options for followers like

>Move Back< To move the companion away from the doorway so you can go through. Summoned creatures need this command too
>Follow further away<
>Follow Closer<
>Defensive< Defend main character, could involve healing main character
>Aggressive> Attacks everything in sight

Also companions shouldnt be able to lockpick if they dont have lockpicks in their inventory and the same rules should apply to them

:D

The fact the kids have no accent bothers you more than the fact they've all got the same exact face and voice? Not to mention, apparently only Nords can breed, not a single child of any other race is anywhere to be found... If you're demanding they overhaul needless things, I say they overhaul the fugly children system first.

The world is a business Mr.Beale. Games today are mae for the mass-market, the devolopers aren't interested in creating a fantastic story, they just want to see $$$. Maybe it's because of the financial crise, maybe they are just greedy, maybe they are to stupid to develope a good story, with fancy characters and dialogues, I don't know. But all games tody just svck, without exception. Maybe it's time to throw all the games away, to read some books, learn for school, study, enjoy the life and so on.

Skyrim was my last videogame I ever played in my whole life.

That is what Marketing does. ;)

Depends on the gear you give them, but it is true that followers can become even more OP than the player character. Would love an overhaul for this also, but I wouldn't know how to balance it, so I make due the way it is atm by limiting their equipment.

1. I really don't mind people having different accents all over the place, but it would be better if most people had a skandinavian/germanic accent.

2. Are you kidding me?

3. Well it is the same way as it was in Oblivion. Have you even played it?

Even though everyone has minor or major complaints, you are the first person who feels ripped off because of minor ones. PS3-Players can feel ripped off, because their are serious issues on their platform, everyone else should stop whining. If you don't like the game, it has been a mispurchase for you, but it's no ripoff.

Also: Not sure if srs or if I fell for another troll thread...

and how would that make a difference. They never tested before November why would they test before January. You my friend were the game tester, if there where no complaints about bugs on this forum then there would not be any updates.

I'm just stating the obvious man.

Bethesda's companion system is bar none STUPID and it IS an game killer.

Nines guide you to e-mail, write and call Bethesda to change this stupid game mechanic

I didn't enjoy the game at first, but mainly becuase my own mind had made up what Skyrim would be and when it didn't fullfill them I was dissapointed.
But the more I play this game the more I enjoy it, once you understand the way it works it's fine. Things change and move on, stagnate and be left behind, I don't mind perks and the balance of being a pure mage makes it a challenge.

I never use companions, unless forced on me, so I have no comments to make regarding them.

The only gripes I have with the game is the pc UI, the only bugs I have had are in the menu and it doesn't translate well to pc, favourites being the worst.

Oh hey here's a thought...

Maybe don't use companions?

Or maybe if you don't like the game so much, get the [censored] off the forum?

I know it makes you feel better about yourself to put down something other people like (or else why waste your time) but trust me, when you wake up in the morning, you're still gonna be stuck being yourself.

And you can't blame gamesas for that.

Here's a brilliant thought I've come to the conclusion of after much frustrating deliberation - don't use a follower. They're for girls.

P.S. Nice life.
