What is the worst thing that you don't like at elder scroll series?
For example leveling mechanism is different from other games. I don't have to much complains about that. But 1 think that I hate about elder scroll series is the leveling(variability) of world's creatures.
In all other frp games there are special places for special kinds of animals. For ex. at your starting point there maybe wild boars and wolfs. At a higher level area ghouls, dragons etc. By that way you can not travel @ whole world, you will travel step by step because in someplaces you can not kill creatures.
But in elder scroll series this is completely different. You can travel at whole world because the creatures on the map is changing by your level. This is the silliest thing in the game.
You won't afraid to go somewhere because you know all creatures will change to your lvl.
I am not sure if they will change this mechanic at Skyrim but, because of they didn't change at past series I don't think they will.
I just hope they will do just like other rpg games. I want to afraid from passing a land at low level or I want to see how much power did I gain buy going to old places and killing low levels.
This is just so crazy. Once there are wolfs at an area later when you come you find minatours instead of wolfs. :banghead:

I like the leveling without XP points flying on my screen. What I don't like is the lack of choices in the storyline (with severe consequences).

My God, first people add a K to "thing" because of their accents, but now they're SPELLING IT with a K too?

I'm not gonna bovva

This level scaling you describe was only in Oblivion.
Morrowind and Daggerfall used different mechanisms.

Skyrim will use level scaling similar to Fallout. This means that there will be high level areas and monsters from the start.
So that seems allright to me.

For me, the worst part of TESV is no spellmaking, but thats another story.

First of all, you wrote "think" a lot where you probably meant "thing".

And the reason bethesda builds their world like this is because they want an open ended world, where you can explore it without becoming a godlike character. One reason is immersion, the other is that it allows more exploring. It is going to change a bit though. In Skyrim, it's confirmed that regional difficulty will be handled like in Fallout 3. So there are (remote) areas in the game where you will find high level enemies right from the start of the game. And other areas where you'll always find lower level enemies. So part of the problem should be solved.

I like Oblivion for that, truth be told. I like a challenge, but it was really annoying finding areas completely out of bounds in other games.

Incorrect. This is how it was in Oblivion. Not the entire Elder Scrolls series. I dare you to try and explore the whole world at level one in Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, or even Fallout 3. You will die a horrible death. Note: Skyrim is more like Fallout 3 and Morrowind. I,e you will get your ass kicked.

As for the worst thing in the entire series... Cannot really think of one. Each game reinvents the wheel and is stand alone so there isn't much that carries over to complain about.

your suggestion will ruin the WHOLE TES GAME ,trust me AND kill the replay value of the game since its so damn linear

Trying to think of what is the worst thing for me is actually pretty hard lol but I think this would apply. It was one of my favorite features of Fallout NV and it really made it really fun when quests had different paths and outcomes to try out with different characters and I'm slightly disappointed they wouldn't add such a great thing to skyrim.

The worst thing for the "series" is that gear customization seems to keep disappearing.

At this rate TES:VI will only have one piece suits of armor =(

I like being able to mix and match pieces.

That's in Skyrim. They have factions and holds, which come straight from Fallout NY.

Your Grammar and spelling is terrible btw.........

I can't >think< of a single >thing< that i dislike about the whole TES series.
I Love TES. All hail Bethesda, king of RPG's.

They said they're not doing branching quest paths and multiple endings, I'm not talking about factions.
edit: I think you mean how you choose a faction and that affects the story but I mean more specifically with each quest. Affecting the main story isn't a major thing, I mean just quests having multiple ways to go about them and choices in how you interact with the npcs.

Good, because I'm an explorer first a fighter second, I despise games that limit where you can travel from the beginning, but it's been said there are areas where you'd be hard pressed to win a fight until you've reached a decent level, for example I don't think your level 1 character is going to have much luck against giant spiders.

Yay :celebration:

Worst part is having to wait so long between instalments. I know it is for the best but still :sadvaultboy: We won't get TES VI until 2017 at least based upon time between previous games.

In terms of Skyrim I think the worst thing is the lack of consequence and branching quest lines for quests. I knoe Radiant story may help in this regard but not as much as I would like

I thought only the main quest had a set outcome. I remember reading that Radiant Story molded side-quests to how you play so isn't this kinda different for every character / play style I know its not technically branching.

On Topic: I don't have a particular gripe about anything in the series as a whole but each game has different things I don't like in each of them. I've never played them modded though on PC I should sometime I guess.

Worst thing about TES altogether are the pessimistic members of the community.

Worst thing in the series?

The oblivion fans who don't understand how mediocre and small that game is compared to the others.

Oh boy i need a flamesuit now...

:flamethrower:

If that doesn't send unpleasant chills down your spine..

I completely forgot about radiant story and that is nice and should keep things more interesting but I still like having different possibilities to choose from. I find it gave characters more of a personality than just what weapons they like to use to complete the quest.

I think the worst thing about TES for me is the fact that because the games are so Epic, all kinds of people play them, and with the unmatched level of variety inherent in their construction, people will always find a billion things to complain about :thumbsup:

Elder scrolls series has not always had the oblivions terrible leveling system. Skyrim will be more like fallout 3 when it comes to this.

Oblivion is smaller than Daggerfell, Arena or Morrowind sure, but Daggerfell for examlple was mostly randomly generated. Also the graphics were alot less detailed so required alot less time designing and modelling everything.

Oblivion was great but had problems, some of which Skyrim will put right (level scalling for example)

Bethesda have also said there is alot more content in this game, so I am optimistic it will be closer to Morrowind

well said ... i agree 100%
i just compared the skyrim map to morrowind III ... wow ... almost a 5000% drop in land mass ... every new elder scrolls game is smaller with less and less content ... and every new elderscrolls game they say its bigger than its previous one.

Lack of incentive to explore Cyrodiil in Oblivion, as a result of overused level scaling and very little handplaced loot.

Seriously, exploration is one of the main reasons why I play this series and they messed that up badly with Oblivion. Why should I care about looking inside this dungeon when I already know it's only going to have enemies and loot chests scaled to my level? Why should I explore the wilderness when there are almost no people on the roads?
