I voted yes and cant understand anybody who didn't vote the same.
How can anybody complain when you exit a dungeon and see a giant being attacked by a dragon. Deciding to attack the Giant which then decides to fight me back. My partner died trying to defend me and the giant was now running after me as I was trying to hit him with my low level mage skills.
Running, trying to escape from the giant, earth trembling on my feet cause he is too close to me, running up a hill, waiting for my magicka to raise and finally turn around, distance being fair enough for me to throw two ice spells on him. How surprised was I when seeing the dragon crawling behind the giant and flaming him to hell. My two icebolt thrown together hitting the giant so hard he felt 20 feets over the dragon. I was so amazed to see that scene. The dragon already injured much by the giant, was now crawling fast on me, I took my swordn turn around and start hitting him, thinking I got him, he just grabbed me, shaked me and thrown me away like a rat... I lost.
What a moment, 90 seconds of pure delight, fun and fear. That single fight was worth the price of the game to me. A memorable fight.
Thanks Bethesda for such a dream game. Too bad so many people are complaining so much and just cant appreciate the vision you had for that game
(English is second language to me)
We are complaining about the fact that it's a
bad Pc port...obviously if we thought Skyrim was a crap, we'd not be here...we'd be asking for our money to be refunded or do other truly nasty things (
such has opening an "anti-marketing" campaign against Bethesda!)!
No...the game has definitely a
lot of potential and there are a lot of things that I have appreciated of it.
For example, while the face generation software was a true disappointment for me (
in Oblivion one didn't had to stick to the presets...there were a lot of options, levers and such...you could tweak the character's face to your heart's desire...while now I am currently forced to stick to Bethesda's idea of ...let's say... "Redguard Barbie"!), there are things that definitely makes me think "WOW!"...such as the crafting and enchanting system or the way mosters and npcs interact...such as when, after being killed by those blasted giants and mammuths, I've reloaded the game...shot them with a couple of arrows and then lured them into a nearby castle guarded by bandits...mammoths and giants killed some bandits and I got the mammoth's tusk I wanted with no bloodshed!!
However...one'd have to be a truly blind really devoted fan to not recognize that the game is "
unpolished" in some of its aspects, especially on the Pc port:
Why in 2011 a
PC GAME isn't able from the start to scale to take advantage of quad-core processors, memory over 4 GB and 64-bit processing? None would ask to work "natively" in such way, but scaling to technology which is two-three years old isn't asking for the Moon!!
Why Jewelry crafting didn't contain all the jewels?
Why crafting left out most part of armors, weapons and arrows?
Why the concept of smelting or scrapping items for raw materials never made into the game?
Why I always always always end up being killed by a [censored] idiot giant, bear or wolf after killing that blasted dragon??
Bethesda choose to create a
huge hype on this game...they sold off things such as "
making the best warrior game...the best assassin game...the best mage game"...they said it was their aim, but when you make such public statements or statements like those one could see in the videos on the Elder Scrolls website...well...you have to
live by the expectation that you've just created.
None would bother complaining about a game which was an utter crap...however complaining about a game which was sold as a sort of "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skynet_%28Terminator%29-made-RPG" and seems unpolished after such hype is absolutely fair!!
