Yes it's pretty evil. However you can repair them http://www.funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/566066/Oblivion+Alchemy/


Lol that's brilliant. :) Although I do have to say the wedge was always bigger than the gap in the cheese wheel... :confused:

I die a lot so definately erasing the game upon death


Agreed, some of the others rank about 9/10 but erasing a save game automatically is just sadistinc and rates about a 15/10 on the "terrible ideas" list

This thread is terrible. Not the actual thread but it forced all the dead threads on this stuff to rise from the grave. DAMN YOU!

Multiplayer. In almost every case, any time a game decides to add multiplayer, it results in the lessening of quality of the single player portion.

1. Game has an ending
-- I want to keep slaughtering the innocent people of Skyrim!

2. Save Game Erasure on Death
-- The beginning might be hard, so [censored] this.

3. Guns
-- Just no.

4. Multi-player
-- I like my immersion.

5. 3D
-- God no. I don't even have one of those TV's.

6. Motion Control
-- Why consider this?

7. Save Points
-- Almost indifferent. Then Blue Dragon comes to mind.

8. 1:1 Timescale
-- Night-time lasting that long would hurt my eyes.

9. Starting as a child
-- Not a terribly bad idea.

10. Simulated Bodily Functions
-- Indifferent.

Okay I'm probably going to get flak for this but in my opinion not the best poll here... here's why in my opinion...

10- Game Has an Ending - Oblivion and Fallout 3 both had endings to the main story line...yet you were aloud to keep playing as your character after the fact.

9 - 1:1 Timescale - yea it would svck, but not that big of a deal in my eyes.

8 - Starting as a Child - worked very well in Fallout 3 in my opinion I actually quite enjoyed it...In fact I could see maybe being born in prison or into slavery or what have you and commiting some crime against your owner to be put in jail, I understand its TES tradition to start out in jail with out any knowlage of why your in there but I honestly always wanted either more of a back story of why or being able to create my own background as to why.

7 - Save Game Erasure on Death - This one by far is the worst in my eyes I can't stand getting so far forgetting to save and then die and lose hours of work!

6 - Save Points - again yea it would svck but I could live with it, it would make me work that much harder to get to the save point!

5 - Simulated Bodily Functions - um yea...LOL :cookie: that's not a cookie!...Fallout 3 you could use the toilet and sinks so not a big issue. granted you didn't see anything but either way it's part of being a living creature.

4 - Multi-Player - This I would love to see... as long as it was implemented in the right way! I love bringing my console over to friends houses and playing multiplayer games and with TES games being my favorite I've always hated that I couldn't play with others in it...Fable 2 had a good idea but they really really really didn't implement it all that great.

3 - Guns - Now I know I'm going to get flak for this obviously by looking at the poll, but its part of the evolution of technology... weather it's Skyrim or a TES game that comes out in the future some time it should eventually happen, if not your pretty much saying TES characters and what have you aren't smart enough to get past the middle ages...Now don't get me wrong I DON"T EVER WANT TO SEE a TES game set in the future like we have now planes, automatic weapons, atomic bombs, cars etc... Once you get to that point in TES I'll be done playing the games entirely!

2 - 3D - Well I'm honestly not a big fan of 3D being in any game do to the strain it puts on your eyes over time and since when I play games in general it's usually for 6 hours or more at a time so in saying that I wouldn't want it, but at the same time not only would it be cool for a little bit, but no game maker is going to make a STRICTLY 3D version of anything due to the price of those damn 3D TV's.

1 - Motion Control - On TES...Never going to happen. I could kind of see it on the 360's Kinect, I can just imagine what great shape I would be in after 800 or so hours of playing that TES game... but not on PS3's Move or the Wii...

Was it only me who thought about the "delete all savegames and jump from dive rock and Akatosh would fly and save you" scam then you read this.
Yes some people actually did it.

That is truly hilarious.

And starting as a child might not be so bad as long as you get a lot of control or very little forced back story.

Quick Question, what does Save Game Erasure on Death mean?


Permadeath. "hardcoe" as defined by Diablo II. Bottom line: Your character dies once, and only once. Character death = you start game over with new character.

But seriously, I can't even begin- I could reorder the poll items, then add about as many of my own, and still not even make a good start. ;)

Ice hockey is the worst idea I've heard. There was this guy who wanted a hockey mini game in it.

Oblivion has soccer, find a watermelon or pumpkin and kick it. Most fun inside stores, but here the hands rule is enforced far stronger than in RL, if you try to move the ball with our hand you get arrested, however you can use telekinetic or even a fireball to move it.

So hard to choose they all svck. Probably Multi-Player and Guns for me. Multi-Player just runs against everything that makes TES a brilliant, immersive, experience.

I just want to know who actually suggested having simulated bodily functions in the game...


Anyone who cares about a realistic damage model?

Getting your stomach perforated should have different (and very unpleasant ...) effects from one of your lungs collapsing, or a broken rib, or tearing a muscle, and so on. Specific drugs / alchemy as well as by-products of parasites inhibit or accelerate specific reactions within the body, leading to symptoms you first have to learn to interpret before you can apply a proper treatment (as opposed to just treating the symptoms). All these things add depth to the game, aside from the usual hacking and slashing and smashing ...

My number one, and a reason for me not to buy the game if it's in, is missing from the poll: The game being Steam-only. So I went with motion control ... I like to play my games while on the train, sipping coffee, thanks a lot.

Ohhh, it was a tough choice but I went for guns. But there were so many vying for the top spot for me. :P

Poll needs an "Absolutely ALL of the above." option, I can't pick just one.

I have to say the only thing that would really annoy me about this game is either the savepoints or starting as a child. But your a negative guy so I know naturally your list would be very long. :wink:


Very OT: I was watching some random vids on youtube with cartoon movies from the late 70s to 80s and found out who your avatar is. Black-Wolf, time to show you my special Spell. Whips out Luger. POW!

P.S. They killed Fritz.
