I find myself caring for some NPCs so much that I want to become friends with them, learn more about their history. Unfortunately, most of the time I get a few canned responses.

Sometimes somebody orders me to kill an NPC and I ask myself "Why? What did he do wrong?" In other games I wouldn't even hesitate to kill the NPC.

Same I seriously debated on who to kill in this one dB mission.

I wouldn't notice, I already do that in pretty much any game. Even that old Newgrounds game where you had all these things you could torture a little guy with, and a few to make him happy.

Take the game back. Burn the disc. Throw it in the trash can. Call all your friends and tell them how terrible Skyrim is

Same. Oh how hard it is to repress my sympathy. I'm becoming a functioning, caring humanbeing. The horror!

lol i say they did a good job now people will feel bad to go on a mass killing spree or just killing someone for there armor.

Play a Bioware game. You can learn all about your character and make tons of choices, at the expense of the huge content filled open world with hundreds of hours of gameplay.

In the ''Daedra's best friend'' mission

I really wish there was more to the characters. More back story, more dialogue, just more.
They are interesting but so static. I love Lydia even if she only has less than 50 lines of dialogue through the whole game. I want to hear more from her but there is nothing there to be heard.
"Hey, look a cave! I wonder whats inside."
Yes dear. we'll take a look.

Your right bro, look at my first link in the signatur. This game is too realistic.

I feel you Luke.

It's almost perfect...they omitted some really game making simple stuff.

I seriously don't think they will waste time on making the NPC's more interactive......but they could give us a fishing rod.

Bioware's NPCs just stand around and do nothing. Not what I'm looking for.

I lol'd so hard watching that. Bahahahahahaha

it is a nice chance of pace of just killing everything that moves
it seems that habit is kind of hard to get rid of though XD
must have loot

That video is tremendously funny!

Yeah no doubt Bethesda has a way of putting out games that make you feel as though you are talking to a real person, even when you do something that negatively effects a NPC sometimes you think to yourself "man.. what should i have done better" but in that case i just click load (since i always save before some important decision or game changing moment) on the other hand sometime it makes you feel good about negatively effecting an NPC that gave you a hard time.
Example: whenever the option to fistfight comes up it is almost always from someone who talked smack, then when you beat them down they are all of a sudden your friend. hahahaha

I figured you were talking more about your companions, Bioware is heavy on your "parties" history. This is, in short, the cost of voice acted games. It was possible to learn a lot more about an NPC and they're hometown and region back when blocks of text where used.

And the lack of replay value. Mass Effect 2 had some in the form of having different saves for the third game, but other than that...borrrrring.

It's going to be harder to go on killing sprees as AI advances.

HA! Funny TC, is it just me or does the marriage not feel real to anyone else? I kinda want to kill off my husband just so I know I am not married anymore-___-

Milgram would love that statement.

Heh... I couldn't even tell Narfi the truth, because he seemed so vulnerable... so i lied to him... Heh he was the first NPC i cared about..
