Bethesda's major accomplishment in Skyrim in your opinion?

Post » Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:56 am

For me, there are several great accomplishment like immersion, feeling of the enviroment, but having played Oblivion recently, the major accomplishment for me is that the game actually makes me feel like going into dungeons, forts, search for hidden places and explore insides places of the lands. While in Oblivion, i really didn't care for any dungeons, they were just not interesting and i never understood the point, so I went only when a quest sent me there.


About the major flaw, I think it's just unacceptable all the kind of issues there are with the port and bugs right now. Seriously, I'd rather the game delivered a few months after but have it well tested and fixed.
And after new vegas, I was hoping that finnally my decisions had some impact in the world, but atleast so far it's much more improved than Fallout 3, wich was an extreme let down storywise.

Biggest accomplishment: The gameworld.

Biggest flaw/disappointment: Either character development / progression, or faction questlines.

They failed the dialogs and and choices very much. They promised to make the game feel less linar in quests, but I dont see that it has changed that much from Oblivion.

Accomplishment: The envisaging and implementing of highly detailed world
Flaw: No first person horse riding -- I used to love going steeplechasing in Oblivion

Best accomplishment is the dungeons. The quality is so much better than oblivioun. I especially enjoyed the one where I fell through a trap into a cage and a named necromancer tried to perform experiments on me.

To me is the peak of the TES series so far. They've taken all they learned and put it into this game. Glad they didnt wait until the next round of technology in consoles and PCs to try to do this. I hope they stick with and expand this game for a couple of years at least before moving on.

Best TES game ever! Hope they now spend as much time and effort patching it as they did making it.

:D

Accomplishment: Immersion

Flaw: Dumbed down for console players and it shows. The interface is terrible. They wanted to make the interface like something apple would have made if they made video games. That right there threw a red flag the moment I heard that in an interview.

so many things its hard to mention them all....

the dungeons are great and vastly improved
conversations vastly improved
quests seem greatly improved
and of course the world itself is amazing

i much prefer character creation as well , it was silly in the past deciding your character in the first minute of play when you had no idea how the game worked.


the main negative is of course the PC controls , assume that will get patched.
