Roleplayer: realizes that the number of structures he can build is limited only by his imagination. Proceeds to build a bunch of different creative structures and creates a story by interacting with them. Becomes a huge LEGO? fan.

But then realizes that hs mental machinations have 0 bearing on the game causing an immersion break

I am a graphic [censored] role playing power gamer that feel like a virgin on every new TES. I enjoy Skyrim just as much as i enjoy COD just as much as i enjoy Tetris. I am easily entertained and i play on PC but i also have a console because... well because of Red Dead Redemption.

I never played Lego. I was a Mecano boy.

I don't fit anywhere in your scheme and i like it like this.

i actually thought for a few seconds that there had been a mod released that made Skyrim look graphically like lego and react like lego blocks, so a decapitation would be the loss of a head and such :D

Too bad.. it was just an anology.. :cry:

"What happened to legos? They used to be so simple."

They stopped being purchased, and complexity helped restore the lost sales... Consumer demand, called progression...

Then they got overly complex, over-priced, and MTV was invented... Lego died and had to re-birth inside happy-meals as snap-together-models under the brand-illusion of LEGO™...

Not sure what is keeping them alive today? They just convince the billions of stores that someone wants them, so they stock 10 units each, selling to nostalgic collectors and Indestructables-creations...

That is a game called "MineCraft", who "Bethesda" had tried to sue, for creating a game called "Scrolls"... (Apparently, it was bethesda's lawyers, not the gamers. The company actually pulled the lawsuit created by the lawyers, and even made a "Pick-Axe" in skyrim, dedicated to the cool creators of "MineCraft". Hehe, he challanged them to a game of quake or something like that... instead of accepting the lawsuit. Then bethesda sorted it out with him, because they are cool like that. Not sure if they ever played quake... But I imagine they might have, just for fun.)

I think your post is fairly accurate, except in the fact that true RPGers realize that Skyrim is anything but a true RPG.
They got the shaft just as much as every other category you listed.

And boy did they all get it.

your kidding right?
you can rp with a hella range and depth.
And mods????!!!!
Redguard, please

real RPGers play DnD.

FF was just a distraction to get them through the early and mid ninties til daggerfell hit.

Or maybe your accidently bought witcher 2 by mistake.

Then realizes that no matter how he puts all the bricks together, it always turns into a cave of some sort.

Nice one!

Where I live we celebrate Sinterklaas/Saint Nicholas (for kids) on the 5th of december. My wife and I got her nephews (8 & 5) some new LEGO and I spend 6 hours playing LEGO with them yesterday.

Though, they didn't get the whole dragonborn concept :/

Powergamer: anolyses all available blocks, and calculates the optimal way to combine them to achieve the tallest, stable structure. Once he is done, he will get bored and never touch the blocks again. He may complain that it was a waste of money for the little enjoyment he got out of it.

TES Virgin: looks at the provided booklet with the suggested structures and, one by one, builds them all. He will then complain that the structures in the booklet are too small and bland, and how PLAYMOBIL? is so much better. He will feel like he wasted his money now that he has no other structures to build, and refuses to fork over more cash for other booklets.

Roleplayer: realizes that the number of structures he can build is limited only by his imagination. Proceeds to build a bunch of different creative structures and creates a story by interacting with them. Becomes a huge LEGO? fan. So he dosent need a game anyway and never bought Skyrim.

Graphics Ho: complains that every structure looks alike because they all use the same boring set of blocks. Says PLAYMOBIL? is so much better and looks much more natural.

The Nostalgic: is very unhappy with the new, safer block models. So what if kids choked to death with the old models? They were cooler and much more fun to play with. He will consider the fact that sometimes the blocks didn't stick very well as a minor issue, even though he used to loathe it when it happened back in the old days.

I hope everyone gets the hidden points :P.

Fixed.
Now we need to figure out how Bethesda made a game that no one could possible like and yet managed to sell so many copys.
My guess: Skyrim dosent exist and they have spend all their money on a giant space based laser with hypnotic rays.
At this very moment Bethesda employees are in our houses looting the [censored] out of us ;)
