My thoughts on Skyrim

Post » Mon Dec 19, 2011 9:05 am

Here's my thoughts about the V ES game. I love it-it's a really well made game at least I think and here's what I love about it. The enviroment is huge I mean HUGE at least to me, it just feel bigger then Cyrodiil was and another thing I love about it is all the small things you might miss like, salmon jumping up stream, birds and eagles flying in the sky, the northern lights glowing when you enter the far northeren parts of Skyrim's mountains tops, the moons looking like they did in Morrowind (very nice touch there) and snow drfts plus some of the women are eaiser on the eyes as well. I have to say this time I think Bethseda did a remarkable job on this game so chears to you.
So what other things I like?
1: Combat is pretty refine from Oblivion enemies put up quite a fight.
2: No longer having to carry around hammers to repair equipment, those where dead weight. Although I'm not sure if your equipment can still be destroied or not.
3: Duel wielding flame spells! Being able to have two hands emmit flames is like having two flamethrowers and that----IS {bleeping} AWESOME!!!!
4: Nice detail on the blood splatter on bladed weapons.
5: I love the fast travel!!! It's like Morrowind meets Oblivion. You can take a carriage or you can FT on foot but limited in some areas. This really makes the game bigger as you're not abusing the FT option like you could in Oblivion.
6: Fighting dragons.

and now the things I don't like.
1: Fighting a Dragon and a Frostbite Troll at the same time on a cliff. WHOES IDEA WAS THIS!!! Fighting a Dragon is one thing, fighting a {Bleeping) Frostbite Troll and a Dragon WAS A NIGHTMARE. I'm only thankful the game glitched trapping the dragon between a rock and a mountain side allowing me to kill the poor beast. Then HELLO here comes Mr. Frostbite Troll with reguvanating health and about as tough as the dragon was. HE KILLED ME TWICE before I was able to get him trapped and finally killing him via arrows.

2: I guess not being able to have a class like: Swordsman and stuff. I don't mind that you can develop your character the way what you want them to, but it's a minor complaint because I still like the perk system.

I guess that wraps it up I give the game a perfect score of 5/5 stars. So far I'm not having any major problems with the game, the music, story, graphics, controls and everthing else checks out. So all-in-all I love this game :tes: .
