I'll miss grinding (for levelling)

Post » Tue May 17, 2011 3:28 am

Having been back thru OB everyday for the last few weeks and rediscovering how cool, illogical, buggy, sometimes challenging, it is, one thing I'm soooooo acustomed to was grinding to level up a skill. Who didn't run across the map casting 'heal minor' or 'summon for 1 sec' spells to bring up your charcter? Point is after reaching (100) I miss pogo'ing across Cyrodiil 'cause, since I don't fast travel, its kinda boring running thru the woods passed giggling Spriggans who aren't worth stopping to kill.

Grinding made no sense but it gave you something to keep you busy at least. I worry about this a little with Skyrim :dance:

Im going to miss finding a low ledge to spam jump into... Seriously, Im gonna miss it :')

I think of grinding as in-game training.

Your "training" sneak by pickpocketing those skooma addicts. Easy practice.

I use Leveler Mods to remove this kind of leveling to get the "+5" or in term of Oblivion, make my self "equal" to the Leveled List Foe so I can actually "roleplay" without worrying if I "level" it "right" or being underpowered. If Skyrim remove this kind of "grinding", good riddance to that.
