I've got to hand it to them. Killing animals, bandits, and monsters aside-- after leveling several characters (what with the perks, skills and level scaling) on varying difficulties, completing several guilds, doing several main quests, and running into innumerable immortal NPCs, I decided that the adventuring life was feeling rather... empty. So, I decided to try my hand at marriage! After buying the amulet, finding someone who I did a quest for, and saying "Are you interested?" and "'Yes, yes I am." I bought a house to settle down.

I have now come to a conclusion.

I think I'll cut a few thousand trees at the lumber mill before pushing one of the grindstones in the game for 20 years like Conan the Barbarian before I go kill Thulsa Doom. Well, that's what we're supposed to do right? Use our imaginations?

This is by far the greatest satire on RPGs I have ever played.

Huh, I bought a house to store crap, married for the skill leveling bonus, so uh ok I guess.

Wait wait wait wait... wait. Marrying gives you a skill leveling bonus?

oh, you can marry?.. nice, I guess

If you marry, you get the perk "Chance of buying a beta version -50%"

Sleeping in your bed gives you a skill leveling bonus, doing so with a spouse to share your bed doubles the bonus.

I just can't wait until they release the rest of the game.

what did you even expect from your video game marriage? lol
arguments over who takes out the trash?

Give the guy a break, he needs to have a life somewhere.

No, my "wife" never even came to my "house".

It's not the marriage I'm talking about, that was just the icing on the cake. This game can't be a finished product.

That would be one short argument. "It's your turn to take out the trash." "I'm busy dragons to slay and all that." "What? Why don't you ever-" *stabbed in the chest* "Ah you were saying?"

It is the finished product.

Oh... I see what you did there!

So then yeah... it must just be a really good satirical RPG then.

wait...your forum name would imply that you played Daggerfall (best TES game imo)
Do you remember pre-patched Daggerfall? Now THAT was truly unfinished.

Yes, it was. But they fixed it.
Should I cross my fingers for them to fix this?
The modders are probably the only hope for this game's weak RPG elements.

Started with Morrowind. Hell, must play this epic Daggerfall once,

Daggerfall is the best game ever made.

You nostalgia bums are getting annoying, now. I liked old games too, but they had just as many, if not more, bugs and glitches than Skyrim does. Stop whining. Go get laid while you wait for a patch and mods to come out, and get over yourself.

I could care less about bugs and glitches.
The content is lax to the max.

Its intentional. They wan't us modders to finish their work.

That has got to be true. There is no other alternative logic.

I think there is more content here than in Oblivion. The main issue is that it isn't tied to factions for the most part.

I mean, there are plenty of side quests and dungeons, and I love doing them. They even have at least some sort of replayability, even though you know what's in them.
But the guilds and the RPG elements (odd jobs, stats, dialogue, perks, skills, weapons, armor, spells etc) are just so empty.

The production is great, its just soo shallow
