Why in the hell cant i get immersed in this world?

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 11:54 pm

OK is absolutely amazing and Im loving it. But I can't step in the role of my character it's so upsetting because I have an incredible imagination and when I used to play oblivion I literally fergot I was apart of earth I was my character in this world. I think it is my t.v to be honest lol. It's like when I sit down I have to look up, I just moved and I can't set up my he monitor that's eye level. Do any of you guys have any other ideas why not Im dying here D:

Of topic I know but I have been thinking of investing in a pair of turtle beaches, worth to coin?

Lots of people are having similar feelings.

I think a large part of it is that our characters don't necessarily have a pure job, it's whatever you want and some of us are stuck wondering how exactly we should progress our characters.

To be honest, I wouldn't have minded if Skyrim had a job you had to pick (Warrior, Knight, Battlemage, etc.) and made a more lenient path with what you chose, but still leaned you toward a certain direction.

I've been playing on a 27" monitor with some headphones, which helps with my immersion. I think a little smoko helps too :wink:

I'm playing on a 12" TV and I have to look up at it from far away, I can hardly read the text on the screen and the top map marker is all but obscured. I am loving it though really into the game.

I actually have ridiculously easy time immersing myself into my Skyrim character. Must be my PC's monitor... wait, that doesn't make sense... how could a monitor...

Aww man that svcks, this is the most immersive elder scrolls yet! I remember the night I got it my wife was going to bed and was like 'Hey don't forgot I have the doctors at 10am ok?' and I was all 'Pshhh what do you take me for! Of course I'll be ready to go'

I was wandering the beutiful land, fought a couple of dragons, did a few quests I remember looking at the clock at 4 am when I went to pee and thought 'I should probably get to bed, ach just one more dungeon'

Next thing I know I hear my wife yelling 'I knew it!' I turn to look at her and see some obtrusive, bright light filtering through my window that hurts my eyes. I realise it's the sun and it's 9:30am. My wife was displeased. I haven't slept in the bedroom since, not cause she's mad at me but because I haven't slept in 5 goddamned days!

i agree with a few posts that u have way to many choices as in what type of character your gonna play, which quests to do, and where your going but the best way i have found is predecide what role your gonna play. I've already restarted three times just bc i wanted to choose the playing style i liked the most but once you figure that out, omg is this game epic :biggrin:
