So I'm loving some of the things I hear about Skyrim, like removing the attributes and birth signs, but there's still a lot of stuff that's just too old-fashioned and I think looking to something like Call of Duty could be a great inspiration, not only for role-playing aspects, but it's simply a fact that the more like Cal of Duty your game is the better it sells.

Attributes being gone is awesome, but why we still got skills? It's nice that you trimmed it down to 18, but we don't really need them when you think about it. I mean, how am I supposed to care about miniscule differences like whether my Destruction skill is 45 or 46? Just have a perk "Skilled in Destruction" and that's it. Same for other skills. Perks are enough for Call of Duty, they should be enough for Elder Scroll.

Oh yeah, I don't want any racial bonuses either. Like when you choose a skin in Call of Duty to look the way you want, you don't need to worry about whether this skin has a bonus over another skin. I want to be able to just pick the race I want to look like without fretting over bonuses I'm not getting from being another race.

Another thing Elder scrolls could learn from Call of Duty is weapons. I don't know about you, but I hate how different materials of weapon are better than others. Once you get a Daedric weapon the others are useless, so there are whole sets of weapons like Iron that become redundant very quickly. Now look at a system like Call of Duty, where you don't just throw away the first weapon you unlock when you unlock the last one. They are all equally useful depending on how your playstyle.

So what does everyone think? How else can Bethesda improve Elder Scrools by making it more like Call of Duty?

im sorry but in my opinion this would ruin almost all the major aspects of the game

Sorry, but now I have to shoot you. But don't despair, I'll do it with my magnificent Daedric Longbow.

1/10

Also he is being sarcastic for those who aren't getting it...

Quite the Opposite OP, COD could learn a lot from Skyrim.

Only reason COD sells is because of Activison's Marketing Strategy if that was gone COD would die instantly..

COD been the same since 2006 with a new paint job nothing has never changed at all in terms of game play.. I love Bethesda for being one that DOES not copy/paste a carbon copy of previous games.

8/10, fooled the first 4 idiots out of the five to come across this thread.

Obvious Troll is obvious.

No. Bad. *sprays with squirt bottle* I can't tell if this is a troll post or if the op is legitimately an idiot, but dear god, just no. You are A terrible person for even thinking this.

And thus people will flame him for deliberately putting in COD as a distraction to the point he's making, he could easily have made his case without bringing up COD. I swear why do people make threads for shix and giggles.....

reported.

Call of duty = worst game ever. Skyrim = best. please go find a doctor.

Just a troll.

Ignore it.

The title itself doomed this thread.

:goodjob: that's a surefire way to get people on this forum to agree with you.

Apparently not to some people.

Heck I could make a killing starting up sarcasm-detector repair business. Lots of broken senses of humor round' these parts.

I'm pretty sure he's jokin guys. Chill

Maybe we woulda got a better interview last nite if skyrim was more like call of duty lol...that map pack preview was half the [censored] show...

Do we have to refer to the OP as a troll because that will get this topic locked.

yes, adding 280 perks and taking out 5 attributes is totally COD'ing the game.


Amazing logic and super witty sarcasm.

You just don't mess with things like these. TES is sacred, holy. CoD is worse than pond scum...

Next time you want to troll, at least make the title believable.

Just what we need, another cookie cutter game that looks and plays just like a gazillion others on the market. :toughninja:

Yes - it has.
