2. Call of Duty MW 3: New, exciting, fresh.
2. The World. It's in the North, it's Skyrim, we get it. But where are the green fields of Oblivion, the randomly generated caves that looked so different, the volcanoes of Morrowind, all the Dunmer?
3. The Monsters: Awful. No one ever wanted dragons, we wanted more Golden Saints and Imps!
4. On to the dragons. Boring! I can kill them, absorb souls, and I'm still "In Skyrim". Take me for a vacation- Oblivion Gates. Nothing beat the thrill of going to Oblivion, fighting through a similar landscape- but finding out the treasure inside was DIFFERENT!
5. Story. Oh my God. BORING! The first time I climbed to the throat of the world I longed for the days of the Blades headquarters. Remember when the king walked out? And they had that scripted event? It was amazing! Also, Morrowind. I'll never forget the excitement of stepping outside of the ship... The questions... The tutorial.... All lost.
6. Combat. Terrible. I want the dice-rolls back. Some said Morrowind had boring and lifeless combat, but I for one enjoyed knowing that one day I would become strong enough to strike with a weapon- and boy would it feel visceral when I was able to hit.
7. Difficulty: Bandits in Glass and Daedric armor.
9. Immersion. "Stop right their criminal scum!", "You Enwah!" This game has lost the excitement of an immersive fantasy world. I walk into a town and it feels like I'm in epcot.
10. Removing stats. How do I know if I'm good with swords if I haven't tagged it as a skill? How do I know that I'm strong without tagging strength? I want to run and become athletic. I want to jump for 10 seconds. I want to fall off a cliff and know that I am becoming acrobatic. I'll never forget the joy of putting skills I am good with as "minor" skills so I could train them without leveling and get that awesome multiplier. I loved using a notebook to plan how I leveled. It made the world immersive.
You can fool yourself, you can pretend it's fun, but you know it's not. You know that when Morrowind and Oblivion came out... life was good. Then Skyrim comes along... And ruins all that was good about the Elder Scrolls.
1. MW3 is not 'New, Exciting, Fresh'. It is the same damn game!
2. Northern region don't have 'green fields'.
3. Randomly generated caves were exactly the same over 1/2 the time.
4. Dunmer are hated by the Nords.
5. Imps were annoying.
6. Oblivion gates are gay as hell.
7. The tutorial got boring, and the story was coherent and interesting.
8. Real-life combat isn't dice-rolls. Fighting you hit every time unless they dodge it. Dodging isn't probability, it is skill.
9. Why would a bandit have expensive armor? They would retire if they had that cash.....
10.Skyrim is more immersive than Oblivion.
11. Role-playing and imagination should allow you to know that you become stronger, or know you are more athletic. You can't jump for 10 seconds in real life. You die if you fall off a cliff in real life.
12. Using a notebook to plan leveels isn't immersive.
13. Skyrim is the best TES so far.
Please divine being (if there is one) let this guy be trolling.
