mistakes you could tolerate. : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:38 am

This thread is about mistakes,that although you hate,you could still tolerate it.
Lets keep graphics out or everyone will be saying it.
I will start with "Rare" magic items.
They were a dime a dozen in oblivion.
Although I'd dislike it it wouldn't make me hate the game if it was in.

nothing.. unless they implement daggerfall combat

Something I hated but could tolerate in another game? Nothing. Oblivion has its obvious pros and cons. The cons are something that shouldn't have to be dealt with in the next title.

No 'Unarmored' Skill. I could play without it liek Oblivion, but damn it, I want to wear stylish cloths when I kick ass and not get killed for it!

You would think so, but I'm not holding my breath when I fire up TESV.
It seems like it's the "in" thing to do these days - ignore what was broken in the previous game, keep it in the sequel, and add even more broken stuff to it.
Here's hoping the devs take notes.

I missed rare items, hope they'll MAKE them rare in tes V
Game breaking or any kind of bugs, there were just too freakin many. Also, letting modders fix these bugs instead of fixing it themselves. If it weren't for modders, I'd be playing a lot less of the game
Quests, some were fine, others I couldn't tell apart from a dozen other quests

I suppose i could tolerate another major landscape change like they did too Cyrodiil as long as they give a better reason than 'Tiber Septim did it' and as long as they actually leave places which still resemble lore.

I suppose that I tolerated so many 'mistakes' with Oblivion that my tolerance threshold is pretty high. However, that's not to say that I wouldn't be annoyed if they made the same mistakes again. To be more specific, though, I could tolerate it if they threw in another face-gen that took an hour or more to tweak just to get a character that looks half decent.

How about: "The Oblivion Crisis thawed all the snow in Skyrim."

I like unarmored aswell , but for more reasons than you gave.

1 - I liked being able to go into a dungeon and pick up every bit of armor and weaponry to sell, no armor on myself allowed for greater carrying capacity.

2 - In MW, I could jump from one post of ghostgate to the next, the freeing up of weight really enhances your acrobatics.

I would be very sad; though I am glad that Skyrim in lore is not all snow, I'm drooling over all the snow-and-mountains design possibilities.

If they neglected to include (again) the ability for PC players to write notes on their local maps (or world maps, eh, Bethesda?), then I would be disappointed but not to the point of intolerance.

There wouldn't be any merit in Unarmored with Oblivion's mechanics. You wouldn't be any better off than sporting some Rough Leather Armor (total weight ~ 15, for the record) against Minotaur Lords or Dread Zombies, getting knocked off in like two or three hits.

Hmm...

I never thought of that in MW.

1. Helseth and Barenziah looking completely different in Tribunal. In Daggerfall they had brown skin but in Tribunal they looked like normal dunmer.
2. Vivic having kids with Molag Bal. Daedra can't create life.
3. The dead Akaviri soliders in Pale Pass looking like normal Imperials. I wanted snakemen. Maybe the soliders were human slaves? I dunno.

I think I've hit my limit on the paring down of skills.
I want my Barbarian to have and use his MEDICAL skill WHEN CAMPING IN THE WILDERNESS.
Beowulf detests magic & wishes he could treat his wounds according to his skill like in the good old days.

» Fri May 27, 2011 3:33 am

None really. If it's a mistake I'd rather Bethesda not make it again.
I don't see the point of a topic that discusses which "mistakes" you'd like to see in TES: V. I'd like to see none of them again.

» Fri May 27, 2011 7:11 am

Almost anything that doesn't stutter the game's performance and hamper my playing skills. Then again I totally agree with Septiego's statement just above this one.

2. Vivic having kids with Molag Bal. Daedra can't create life.

I haven't played MW in a long time, but wasn't there a quest given by Moag Bal to go kill his daughter (winged twilight) for messing around with a lesser daedra (storm atronauch)?

Vampire Cure Quest. The only way to cure vampirism.

1. Everyone had the same brown skin tone in Daggerfall.
2. That's debatable.
3. They couldn't let it distract from the Daedra invasion.

Further, the offspring of Vehk and Molag Bal don't have to be literal offspring. IIRC, some on the lore forum believe they created dangerous concepts as their "children," which had to be slain in a metaphorical sense.

And besides, @ Bubo, who's to say that the Daedra can't create offspring? The phrase, "The Daedra can't create" is a relatively novice guideline to distinguish them from the Aedra, who created via the convention. The Daedra could easily harvest Aetherial refuse and excess creatia to create offspring, just as they harvested Aetherial refuse to create their own realms as laid out in the (IIRC) Nu-Mantia Intercept.

They're were MEN native to Akaviir. Brush up on lore please.

I really want some rare items, that are actuality hard to get , not like in Oblivion .

Will old saves load up on GOTY version? (PS3)

It doesn't have to be a mistake made in a previous tes game.
This topic is about something you hate but would have only a minimal effect on your enjoyment of the game.
It's something to break the monotony we've had in tes general.
