Ok, I've got one or two gripes myself, but I would love to read some positive information about this game, because overall it does deserve some? I guess the majority of those who like it are playing it?

Sorry, meant to post this in the general discussion section.

[Brιonα Renae]

Just a bit of frustration I think. We have all become so used to Oblivion and the entire game adjusted by mods according to taste that to be presented with something that as yet cant be changed or has no immediate hope of change until the CK is released is making people agitated. We are all champing at the bit is all. No biggie.

The happiest players are playing it. It's always the most negative group that is loudest.

It's always the same......
If people aren't having any issues and enjoying the game, they carry on playing.
If people are having difficulties and have got beef with the game for some reason or another, they reach for the keyboard and vent their frustration.
Bethesda will be more than aware of this, I'm sure.

[Lady Shocka]

I for one think the game rocks, best ever graphics...I've not had a single issue with anything, I have seen a few strange texture glitches and I'm sure there are plenty of other small issues but for the most part Beth did an awesome job on this one, of course I can think of many things I'd like to mod and I really wish they had included a hardcoe setting with basic needs like FNV, but hey I'm happy as can be with my $50 purchase.

[Gemma Woods Illustration]

Exactly what Baratan said. I'm extremely happy with Skyrim and honestly spending way to much time playing. While it does have it's quirks, there is literally no video game in existence that does not have quirks and bugs.

[MISS KEEP UR]

Were you around for the launches of FO3 or FONV? It was waaaaay worse than this. New launches always bring out complainers. Give it a month, then they'll more or less disappear.

[Barbequtie]

Your blowing up something that really isnt that big a deal.

[Carlitos Avila]

It's a very fun game but there's quite a few flaws to it. Fortunately almost all of them can be addressed with mods. That one Destruction magic mod that came out already has made the game a lot more fun, and enemy mages are challenging again for me. Eventually mods might be able to force-fix the pacing of the factions by making you do filler quests in between the four or five big ones so that you don't walk into Jorrvaskr in the morning and walk out as the Harbinger that night.

[jessica Villacis]

When it comes to a game that just came out, you have happy people playing it and not posting a lot on the one hand, and a bunch of people complaining on the other hand. Because nothing ever fully lives up to the hype.

[MARLON JOHNSON]

You're in the mod section. Think about the implications of that.

[FirDaus LOVe farhana]

How this belong to Skyrim Mods?
EDIT
OK, vanilla Skyrim for me is significantly better done then vanilla Oblivion, most of problems what I saw can be fixed by mods like thats was before.

[Lloyd Muldowney]

You're in the mod section. Think about the implications of that.

That's what I was going to say. People in the mod forum talk about ways to improve the game, so they're obviously going to point out the things they don't like.

[Dale Johnson]

I wish this forum had a "LIKE" button...... :goodjob:

[Shaylee Shaw]

You'll hear no such griping from me. I love this game and have found it's been worth every penny (bought PC CE). To date, Skyrim is Beth's finest, IMO, and it will age like wine just like the others.

[Samantha Jane Adams]

I agree. This is my favorite Beth game, now, just edging out Fallout 3.

[Trey Johnson]

To date, Skyrim is Beth's finest, IMO, and it will age like wine just like the others.

The longer I play this game the more I'm inclined to agree with you. It actually kind of grieves me to say this too, as Morrowind has been my sentimental favorite for nine years. My beloved Morrowind has been dethroned in my affections. *sniff*

To the OP: me, I mainly post on neutral, "opinion" threads ("What POV do you play in?" "What's your favorite city?"). I mostly ignore any thread that looks like it's going to be full of whining. But I think that these forums are far less contentious and far less full of whining and temper tantrums than during any other Bethesda release I have ever seen. I am actually surprised how mature people are acting here. You want to see negative, go back in time to Morrowind's launch, or Oblivion's launch. The forums in those days could traumatize all but the most thick-skinned members.

[SHAWNNA-KAY]

Just a fact of life I think, it's like everything, for example when I worked for HMV they had a saying during customer service training "An unhappy customer will tell 20 people, those 20 people will tell another 20 and so on, a really satisfied customer MAY tell 1 person". Same deal here, the minority and I'm sure it's a minority who are unhappy are just louder. Also I would guess that a lot of the people complaining don't hate the game, if they did they wouldn't be playing it.

Some people will have issues of course and I can understand those being unhappy but another proportion of these people would complain no matter what, to quote British comedian Frankie Boyle when he was saying how negative most people are he said "John Logie Baird invented the Television and you know that when people came to congratulate him he would have said 'Yeah but there's feck all on!!!'"

People like to complain, I think the game is superb and I've emailed feedback to Bethesda, I just thought a positive thread on here giving my opinion of how great the game is would have just been hi-jacked by the haters, so I emailed them my thanks for a great game. Maybe others who like it are doing the same.

It's already set up that way without mods though..

[Pat RiMsey]

I have my share of complaints (UI design and glitches foremost), but it occurs to me that if I didn't actually like the game I would just forget about it. It's because I like it so much that the imperfections stand out so much. Skyrim is great but so is it's potential for improvement.

[kat no x]

People don't mod a game because they are 100% in love with it. All moders I'd say actually started out just making tweaks to the game to change of stuff they didn't like. You can perceive that to be negative or not. The choice is yours.

[Heather Dawson]

Personally I think Oblivion kept a few flaws from Morrowind, did many things better than Morrowind, but also did just as many things worse than Morrowind. Skyrim kept a few flaws from Oblivion, but does most things better than Oblivion and only very few things are worse than Oblivion. So overall I'm very pleased with Skyrim. Now I only need to mod out the flaws (which will be easier than modding out Oblivion's flaws).

And I don't see the point in writing about how much I like the game. Chances are none of the developers will ever read it and no one else cares about it. That's like a talk show where everyone has the same opinion. Instead I like to discuss the flaws and think about ways to fix them. Much more productive and the result will be a game I enjoy even more.

I think you nailed it right there. I'm not sure how to characterize the complainers--certainly some have legitimate complaints expressing themselves very well and you learn a lot from their observations. It would be a mistake to confuse imaginative modders/players looking to make the game more enjoyable and sharing their thoughts 'out loud' with the community. Labeling them as being unhappy complainers/whiners would be unfair. :nono:

But the others seem to be very young and suffering with extreme attention deficit. :grad:

[Emmie Cate]

I don't think it is anymore complicated than this is the mods forum, so with the complaints is an implied request to want to fix.

This is the forum people go to in order to see how to change the game.

Overall I don't see the negativity ... I read a lot of posts that say "wow this is so cool ... except"

[Kim Bradley]

If people didn't like the game, they wouldn't care enough to nitpick it so much.
