Lack of content in Skyrim? : V

» Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:28 am

In Oblivion, there 199 TOTAL quests (main and side) and there are 367 TOTAL locations on the map. This is excluding all dlc.

In Fallout 3, there are 31 TOTAL quests (main and side) and there are 161 TOTAL locations on the map. This is excluding all dlc.

In Skyrim, we have been told that the main quest will be "approx. 30 hours" and that there will be "more than 130 dungeons" and "over 100 points of interest". If we assume that the dungeons and points of interest are separate, we could conclude that there are potentially a minimum of 230 locations. This is HEAVILY speculatory as the dungeons and points of interest could be combined and average playthrough length is very much relative. If indeed dungeons and points of interest are combined, then that would mean we would potentially have a minimum of 130 dungeons/points of interest.

Also, according to recent interviews with Bethesda employees, we have heard that the amount of quests in Skyrim is "5x the quests that Fallout 3 had", which would mean that Skyrim would potentially have 150 TOTAL quests, 50 less than Oblivion.

I'm excited about Skyrim and I will pick it up regardless, but is anyone else concerned that there might be somewhat less or significantly less content than Oblivion?

I wouldn't care if there were less as long as they were better.

Don't worry, why is there less quests in F3? :sadvaultboy:

Nah. It's gonna be awesome, regardless.

They say you've got couples of hundred hours of content in Skyrim.

Can't you just wait till the game is released to start complaining (or PRAISING) the game's amount of content? :yes:

Oblivion = 200+ hours of content
Skyrim = 300+ hours of content

Oblivion = 350+ locations
Skyrim = 500+ locations

I know Bethesda will deliver, stop worrying so much

» Mon Oct 10, 2011 6:00 am

I kind of see your point but they have not released all the info. They could be excluding things,areas,creatures whatever just so they don't give too much away. Many new games coming out havn't even given out as much info as Bethesda has. I also believe that the larger a game is the more info they give out but it still is a very small amount compared to the real thing.

I'll probably finish the questline faster, but with new things to look at and marriage and the like- I'll be too busy: Running around killing things, decorating my house, trying to create/download AC related mods to care :happy:

I would go for less handcrafted dungeons over loads of copy and paste dungeons any day.

Same with quests.

» Mon Oct 10, 2011 2:26 pm

There were very few quests in Oblivion that were more than just fetch quests at heart, meaning that there could be a lot more of them. I believe there will be more in-depth quests in Skyrim. Of course this is just speculation.

Also consider that the dungeons will be hand made, vice template design. I think they're supposed to be bigger and more challenging as well.

only 31 total quests in fallout 3? that seems way too little to be possible. people argue that fallout 3 is larger than oblivion (although that's wrong)

» Mon Oct 10, 2011 7:56 am

If the radiant quest system works as intended and caters side quests to my homicidal ways, i'll be happy.

Skyrim = 500+ locations

What is your source?

Don't forget that Radiant Story can provide pretty much unlimited amounts of quests.

» Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:06 pm

Potentially nearing 350 hours of content in Skyrim.
http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/06/08/skyrims-main-quest-30-hours-long-additional-content-lasts-two-to-three-hundred-more/

Then add time spent playing DLC and mods, and this game becomes an investment.
You'll never stop playing..... I wouldn't lose sleep over "lack of content"
