Yes there is that much to do. You can easily spend 100+ hours dungeon crawling without getting a single quest. Some people enjoy hunting and gathering and you can spend hours upon hours doing just that. There is so much content in this game you can do without ever touching the questing.

Don't be [censored] [censored], Oblivion was a master piece, effing Morrowind fan boys, there's a reason why Oblivon became GOTY, It was brilliant.

i agree. all that sick hype people had before it came out, pretty much ended with a big disappointment.. for me it did for sure.. there is soo many things they could do better. i really hope they realize it soon and patch it.

Seriously, i don't understand why this is so hard for people. Just because you didn't pick something that says I'M A WARRIOR doesn't mean you can't frickin be one. Just go do it, it's that damn simple. It actually really frustrates me how dumb people are about this subject. If you want to be a warrior pick up a [censored] sword and board or 2h weapon and be one. People want more immersion and more freedom then [censored] about getting it.

The engine only allows the developers to do things. The developers, themselves, make the decisions about what to include. I think Bethesda used the Oblivion engine for their version of Fallout and added to what the engine would do things like many of the onscreen notifications. I could be wrong, but I don't think the engine demands a large notification that my character has discovered some place or some sound when a skill is increased, to name just a couple.

And, I'd managed to ignore the final move sound until now ... just more to make my eyes roll!

Well shouldn't more skill in 1h mean more damage?

So my point still stands. I don't like the system. If i spend enough time doing everything I ought to be able to get better at everything. 100 skill should mean something! in every ability.

Oblivion was just [censored]. In my opinion. I got so bored so fast. Didn't have any charm at all. Morrowind owns its face. Morrowind got GOTY also, and its better. And Liverpool is pretty average too. Lol sorry =)

Learn to Mod yourself or just wait until the Modding Community can come up with some nice Mods to enhance the Game Experience.

I learned Modding for Fallout 3, and whenever I couldn't find anything to do in Fallout anymore, or I couldn't find decent Mods anywhere that I didn't have already, I made some of my own Mods to enhance the Gameplay even further.

Your playing on PC are you not? I remember when Oblivion first came out, I was sorta bored with it within the 100 hour mark. Then I just couldn't handle it, I was playing for so long it felt like everything else was copied and pasted from the town over.

Then Mods were releasing, decent ones, and now I have over 500+ hours of Oblivion and still go back to it from time to time. If your playing on Console, such as I, for not having a pure Gaming PC, then you have probablly lucked out. You will have to wait for future Expansions then if you want more content, even though, I dont see how anyone would be bored of this game so quickly...

Would you feel better if your female werewolf have boobs? -__-

I can understand that since my female is a werewolf but since the werewolf shows no gender how can u be sure it is a "male" werewolf? Whats to say that your characters chest did not just "deflate" and get bulkier? Just be happy they are not being picky and even let your FEMALE BECOME a Werewolf all together.

Honestly I come to this forum just to waste time at work until I can go home and play Skyrim but this annoys me so much I decided to create an account and post. FOR GODS SAKE PROMETHEUS PLEASE STOP YOUR WHINEY DRIVEL. You complain about this, you complain about that, go design your own game with all of these features otherwise SHUT. UP.

Thank you.

Sounds like you just blew through the game. Well, you missed out on a ton of content. I suppose some people just cannot be happy with anything. Your loss. This game is utterly amazing and I'll be playing it for 100's, if not 1000's of hours.

The characters and their designs are very badass. The lighting in the game is outstanding. The balance of mapping is a joy to witness. The gameplay is a little different and the combat system feels less direct, but nothing to spoil the experience. I am playing on xbox because I only put games on my workstation I need for engines like crysis. The frame rate is better on this game, no in world loading yet and only 2 freezes in god knows how many hours. I am now at level 30 and am enjoying the game. I was half way through Dark Souls when this came out perhaps that is something for you if you want DEX and whatnot.

Me Im a likin' it just how it is.

So you spent around 80 hours with the game. That's 70 hours more than other single player games, I'd say you got your money's worth.

I lol'd at the "I played on master and killed everything in one hit" comment. Also at the "All the cities were the same" comment. You did play Oblivion, right? That had to be the most generic, boring, mainstream game ever made.

Frankly I'm enjoying this game a lot more than Oblivion. Does it have problems? Oh yes. Are the things that Oblivion did better? Yes, again. Neither game holds a candle to Morrowind for me, but Skyrim has been a wonderful distraction for the past week. I especially loved the fact that there is no 'right' side in the civil war quest line. It's that sort of moral grey area that I think the series really needs to bring back - and that was utterly missing from most of Oblivion and even some of Morrowind.
I'm sorry you aren't enjoying it, but then again I can't really blame you either. Different strokes for different people.

Good for u, :celebration: and don't start new thread again ok?

While this game did abandon the RPG character sheet style if you think about it this was for the better. In oblivion you are a prisoner who says "I am this" and the game just accepts it, even if you never use ANY of those skills. In fact in oblivion one of the better options was to pick up every skill you never planned on using so that you could max out the skill you wanted faster without leveling as much which breaks the "reality" of the game. It's like playing D&D saying you are a rogue and plan on becoming an assassin and charging head first into every fight and taking warrior-esq builds.

In skyrim you are a person, and in the beginning you are just really an average Joe who gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. You define your character through playing, instead of defining your character in some create-a-derp mode. If they kept the oblivion create-a-character stuff and LOCKED you into that class I would appreciate it, but in oblivion you could pick every thief skill as your primary, pick the sign of the thief, and spend the whole game casting spells while wearing heavy armor it didn't really make sense. In skyrim it can make sense because your character is WHATEVER you want, you aren't putting a label on it.

While I feel you are missing out on a great game I know this game isn't for everyone.

Yeah , you're right I had forgotten OBLIVION had VATS. Oh, wait...

if this is mainstream please let me know where I can buy any more games like this?

XD not as bad as "them"? you make it sound so bad to prefer one style of play yet you [censored] about their not being hand to hand leveling anymore, just use gauntlets to raise up your hand to hand lol

NOOOOO KIDDING!!!

Agree.
im back to Morrowind III, i just wish that i could play it with the graphics of skyrim... ... :hubbahubba:

For me Skyrim is indeed a great game atm, but fails in so many basic RPG elements...
My best experience in Skyrim so far is with the ambient sounds and soundtrack....Jeremy Soul IS the King!

Not everyone thinks Morrowind is the game of gods, I enjoyed Oblivion much more than Oblivion
I still today play Daggerfall which is easily my favorite, Morrowind was a let down to me(I still love it, just a let down to the series) and Oblivion was what I was expecting.

"morowind is da best game eva! beth wil never crete anoter bestest game!"

Ok.

Skyrim is my favourite game in the series so far, it's not perfect, but everything is so fleshed out and interesting. No more just going to the mages guild have a blank face stare at you, ask you one or two questions, and that's it, you're now a member. This is just one example, but the NPCs now have their own personalities, attitudes, desires and ambitions now, and I love it, nothing is predictable and two-dimensional anymore. Easily the best game on the market for me, and anyone who thinks Oblivion was better is either blind or mad?

So basically, you stopped playing it because a few bugs (nothing new in these games), no ninja assassin-class text when opening your journal, pretty much exactly the same horse 'problems' as in oblivion and no werewolf boobies?

Fair enough.
