First one, console port.

i belive that goes with the "Skyrim is a console port"

I do miss water walking, however, transmute Ore is in the game. I'm also pretty much leaning towards being happy that spellmaking was removed, I think it was too much trouble and opened up the "Please Exploit This!" door. I loved it in Oblivion, but the more I used it the more I realized how OP it was. Summon full Daedric, a Daedric Greatsword, and a Dremora Lord all at once, that doesn't seem OP to you?

Clever, but I play on console, and I think it's absolutely horrendous. Just because something lacks substance and is designed without any kind of intelligence doesn't make it related to consoles.

Lol, this is the first good argument I've seen from this side. I disagree, but it's still pretty good. Sorry for the lack of understanding as I thought console ports meant stupid UI.

I noted your perspective and its respective elements.

yes overpowered but if you don't wanna make a overpowered spell you don't have to, i miss the ability to f5 then launch a max range fireball or even soultrap into a crowded towncenter every now and then

Truth.

well, my main beef is that guilds in Skyrim are weakly implemented, otherwise its a fine package

When I beat my first guild, I couldn't believe how impossibly short and static it was.

Puke.

What does this mean?

I voted too much DRM.

It's your system. I have no trouble pulling 60 fps.

I'm not sure if that is a good enough argument, at least in the OP. As 11/11/11 was widely known as the date of release.
But yeah, other than that, DRM is only harmful to those who legally own the game.

As my euphoria at Skyrims release dies down, its things like this that I miss bitterly. It seems with each incarnation (that I've played, since Daggerfall) of TES, seems to strip more and more RPG elements away. Thing is, for me, the level of customasation and availability (in spells, stats, clothes etc) being stripped away reduces my immersion in the game. Im still enjoying, but this is always at the back of my mind when I play.

Crying about a game accomplishes nothing.

Textures not loading in properly on Xbox 360 version. Otherwise no complaints.

Its obviously a console port. Shame Bestheda doesnt even try to hide that fact, the UI is terrible, unacceptable for an AAA title that sells for 60 bucks.

Irrelevant post is irrelevant.

Crying about crying accomplishes so much.

Skyrim is better than I hoped it would be, and I'm loving it. But I had to change my expectations before the game came out.

To me, TES isn't an RPG series anymore. It's a sandbox action-adventure, and the future of TES will continue down that path of "streamlining".

Even so, there are typical BGS problems. You can do whatever you want to do, be whomever you want to be, except during quests, when you're lucky if you get a choice of any kind as you're railroaded through. Several skills are exploits by design, but if you avoid them character development depth goes from slim to anorexic. And a lot of the perk tree is uninspired and just "add damage to skill X", which makes the character specialization much more narrow than advertised (which is what I expected, anyway). And I could go on...

But they fixed a lot of problems from Oblivion, and for me this has been the least buggy TES game of all time, so there's been a lot of progress overall, IMO.

may be add those too ...

I second this.

I have no problems because I'm not a whiny baby that nitpicks and focuses on negative aspects.
Let us try to be more optimistic hmm?

I'm not even sure the options cover the areas I don't like.

Overall, I love playing... until I level, or have to choose a perk (Fallout 3 perks were at least cool). Or restart because the audio system pukes at 24/96, and I forgot to downgrade to my headset (16/48) before the game starts. I could (and probably will) eventually post a detailed review of how I feel about everything.
