Lore, smore.
I am talking about the type of game that I want to buy.
TES 5 is a wonderful game, but I am a marmoset if it is an RPG.
If TES 6 does not have spellmaking, well, that is final then. The rats will leave the sinking ship.
Indeed, but for me, it's not spellmaking, but the entire degradation of the series as an RPG in general.
As for magic, Skyrim can't touch Dragon Age: Origins. And I'm not talking of spells or enchanting. I mean that "sense of magic" you get from playing. Like going to Disney World as a child. I've felt very little if any from Skyrim. The same with Oblivion. Morrwind had that something special about it.
Stendarr help Bethesda if Bioware ever decides to make an open-world Dragon Age similar to Origins. Especially if it has a first-person aspect. I'd even love to see the results of a head-to-head release between TES VI and a new Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights.
I'm a "really devoted fan" of great games and progress in series development. Just because a game has a certain name in the title doesn't make it a good game. If anything, it just means there should be higher expectations for it to live up to. If it doesn't, it's a failure, plain and simple. If a company doesn't want such high expectations, then don't hype up your game! Yes, I'm looking at you, Peter Molyneux... and you're also guilty, Bethesda! Let me remind you about the "Radiant AI" demo videos you showed for Oblivion! Can someone please tell me where a character actually did something in the released game like set their own dog on fire because its barking got annoying?
EDIT: Hahaha, it censored the word... umm... "fan-young-male"
