I hate when people ask "What's Skyrim?" : V

I find this to be such a difficult question to answer to people who have never played any TES games...

What is your guy's approach to explaining what it is?

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 7:30 am

I always get the "Is that like... dungeons and dragons?"

A good adventure game focused on combat.

That's the response I get from about everyone I know :facepalm:

Look at it as opportunities to enlighten them.

I haven't had anyone ask this question because everyone I know is a gamer and has the game or will have the game soon.

Really, if someone asked me "What is Skyrim?" my response would be a punch in their face.

I got asked if it had a campaign mode once.

It's a province of Tamriel ( continent of ES games ) , like Morrowind.Different races come from different provinces , and Skyrim is Nords' area.

You seem to always have only 2 sentences to say. That and "oblivion is [censored] morrowindftw"... Could you please go somewhere else? Or make some better attempts to annoy people(or not that seems to be working because im complaining about it..)

Just say that its a big sandbox game where you play as some dragonborn dude who kills dragons and [censored].

"Comprehension would blow your mind."

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:10 pm

I always start off by saying "It's a huge game and you can do virtually do anything you want"

And they always go "Ohhh! I get it. So it's like Grand Theft Auto!!!" :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

I'm sure you would :rolleyes:

"It's an open-ended adventure game where you kill huge dragons and [censored]."

"it is an experience you'll never forget".

Minecraft but with prettier graphics... J/K don't shoot me!

Open ended Single Player RPG with a sandbox mode on steroids. If they don't understand any of that lingo, just walk away slowly.

Simple, i just reply with "it's the game of the year"

You want to know what pisses me off is when the person asks whats skyrim is it like WoW. Then a few min goes and I say just pick it up and they say no skyrim svcks even if they never played it before because they play shooter games and that's it for their gaming life...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

...

i dont want to live in this world anymore :shakehead:

on topic, i was asked about skyrim last week, my respones was to tell him about the opening and tell him to pick up the game. every day last week we have talked about it and waited for him to get it :tongue:

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 6:52 am

It depends on the person, if I think that the person will appreciate a pretty good RPG game, I will describe it as a open-world game with a ton of things to do with a pretty decent story. However, if I think that they're the type that is more focused on games like GoW and CoD, I'll describe it as Modern Warfare with epic dragons and the ability to decapitate people as well as a variety of finishing moves.

Both ways seem to interest the person.

My answer: "Open world game with vikings and dragons. Go look it up on the Internet."

» Tue Dec 06, 2011 7:46 am

The game all of the cool kids are playing.

And the not cool ones too.

Actually just about everybody, if you don't know what it is you are kind of failing at something very important, or at least video games.

I tell them it's Miryks going the other way...

I few weeks ago my friend asked me if I was getting the new CoD game. I told him Battlefield 3 looked better and I would probably get that instead. He asked me what Battlefield was.... And that was the day I learned all of my friends who talked about video games only played CoD, so I don't even try to explain to them what Skyrim is.
