alot of free time lately. luckily my Girlfriend has been playing at her house. and me and my folks are okay and i managed to save some money so i took a break from my part time job.

I think that's REALLY hard to make something like TES.


The writing on that is ridiculously big... (Lore included)
Also require A LOT of programming. I mean A LOT!

Imagine: 1 NPC, with 3 dialogue options. Each option opens more 3. That's 12 options. And this NPC has a daily routine.
Not only that, but this NPC has lines of codes triggered by unique items... Or quests.

The amount of voice-acting/writing/programming is big... for one NPC.

Now imagine this, with the amount of NPCs in Skyrim.


People say that Bethesda svck at testing... But this isn't exactly a easy game to test...
I've never encountered a big bug in this game, and I'm over 100 hours in.
I've only encountered 5-7 minor bugs... Included those fixed by the latest patch.

Give me the funding and a team, and I'd love to give it a go! ;-D

Alas, why didn't my school have such practical classes? No, they decided to force Sociology down my throat




The biggest thing in TES is the lore. If you really want to imagine depth in NPC dialogue, Bioware is who you should be looking at these days. In Skyrim, I don't know if I've seen a single NPC give me 3 options, little on 12. In fact, the most dialogue choices I've seen is from followers... and I don't believe those count, since they are mostly command option that should be in a menu to begin with.

here's some $ ..... make sure you bring in those $15/month subscriptions while you are at it.

Think of it this way. It is a huge amount of playtime for a single player game. How many other single player games have you seen substantial people putting in 200+ hours on? It's starting to bump up against MMO's.

Thanks! So, are you going to be the first to subscribe? I would suggest buying a lifetime membership. It includes full VIP access until you AND your pet hamster dies. I am currently offering a limited-time special. It will only cost you... *Puts his pinky at the corner of his mouth*... one MILLION dollars! *Evil Laugh*




I've put over 100 hours into Tales of Symphonia for the Nintendo Gamecube. Another 100+ into Tales of Vesperia. I've put 150+ into Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball. I've put 50 or so into the original Banjo Kazooie. Yes, I do need a life

yes its still in top 5 but it is dealing with fps such as mw3 and bf3 and since both their ad budgets and online playabilty they have the edge on consoles we r sorta limited on good online gaming so that 1 of the reason for their sales figures

Yup. Of the 30 or so people on my steam list, at any given time about 5-15 are online, and at least half of them are playing Skyrim.

It's epic.

played mw3 multiplayer and campaign lost interest after 1 weekend , shortly after bought skyrim and since then playing it almost every single day i never been hooked up into the game for such a long time.
