Its obvious that Bethesda put more effort in other features and took less time on others... Its sad people expect to have a 100% perfect game handed to them. I dont think you people realize how long it takes to create a next generation game like this. If you dont like it then dont buy it simple as that, nobody wants to hear a bunch of "advlts" cry, you say your advlts try acting like it.

i feel bad for Bethesda, they create such an awesome game and they have to deal with cry babies nit-picking their games on minor nonsense. Try appreciating whats given.

I played arena for 5 hours and there were puzzles where you had to type in a certain word, no multiple choices.

Imagine if we had Lufia 2 puzzles.

Riddles are bad for the game, as most of the time they cannot be adequatedly translated.

Expecting fancy dialogue from everyone in Skyrim is expecting Shakespeare from a African Village.
The main point of putting puzzles in dungeons is to stop people from rushing through it.
I agree with Spence, you need to appreciate the good things in the game.

What is the greatest illusion of life?

Dude/tte, this is a non-spoiler section.

Thanks for that.

In future, please use the spoiler tags ... (spoiler)spoiler goes here(/spoiler) and replace () with [].

Yes, with a h, now i remember, sorry english is not my best language, i do my best. Using a phone on your work break to post does screw up things. To pooh pooh is not a childish term, to be perdantic of others is childish, but thats off topic. Its a very important part of beths games imo, the books the notes, if the next fallout lacks the proper dialouge and doesnt have lengthy computer input then i think i may be done with beths, which is a shame, all the best franchises go to hell, cnc, fo and tes have always been my fav games, well ea got there hands on cnc long ago, ive always hoped beth could sail above the rest with out resorting to such pandering to the masses, i just dont think its true that ppl wont read, here we all are on a message bord, thousands of books mags n news papers sell every day n im surposed to belive people wont read through the dialougue options or may get confused.

overencombered Vs you carrying to much crap.

puzzles i know are new and no one likes to get stuck and take forever but a little or a few latteral challenges would have been nice.

Hmmm...

I am. I'm calling out for more, but more importantly, better puzzles. They add variety to the gameplay. I like making my way around dungeons while actively engagging both my left and right side of the brain, thank you.

Puzzles re a nice addition. Just don't have them the way Dungeons used to be: virtually alike and way too easy.

I agree. The Greybeards questline provides a combination of good dialogue and great voice acting.
Is it too late to send Bethesda ?Story? by Robert Mckee as a Christmas gift?

How deliciously ironic...

LOL Guilty as charged... although, I wasn't trying to make a point, now was I? I just thought it was funny.

I quit playing JRPG's because of (among other things) the annoying puzzles they would just plop in to artificially extend playtime. Honestly, It's more fun for me to try and find a way around them rather than bother with the puzzle itself.

The difficulty of the puzzles should be higher.... the dialogue is not top flight, but I wasn't expecting anything stellar from Bethesda.

Wouldn't be much point to the puzzles if we offered solutions too.

There used to be a whole genre of games with almost nothing but puzzles, called "Point-and-Click Adventures". These games had plenty of different types of puzzles that could be useful in a 1st person game too. Word puzzles, mixing items like potions, building a device you can use to access a dungeon etc. etc. etc. Maybe we get to translate an ancient text by ourselves? A certain "master" in the game is already banging on our head with the dragon language. How about we get to actually use that for something?
Not every problem in the game needs to be immediately solvable by a 5-year old. Make us spend some effort on the puzzles, and reward it, I say.

I would love to have seen a post better written.
More conscious use of spacing, interpunctuation.

As it is, I agree with the title.
Its quite the hur-dur.

Yah Really....Games with stories about bandits molesting children is really aimed for kids....Games with stories about necromancers fantasysing about milk maids and turning them into his undead servants is really aimed for kids....Yah...game with racist Nazi Elves are really aimed for kids...Games with public executions are really aimed for kids...Games with rooms filled with..Odd objects and a note saying "The person is skilled in the dibellian arts" Is really for kids...I could go on and on.

As I kid I used to play cops and robbers with my friends. We used to pretend the robbers were going to [censored] a woman or something so the cops had to save her.

As for the necromacer part... I'm... not even going to go there...

Look around the pale hold and you will vomit...

I'm 31, and I love this game.

To Pooh-pooh something means to express disdain or contempt. Its from the early 19th century and has nothing to do with defecation. Although he misspelt it, his original use was correct - and mature use of - English.

Sorry, but I had to add the bolded part.
Why does everybody mean "Oblivion and latter" when they say TES?

Or both?

Oh and lets not forgot Babettes contract against that Old man..."Shudders"

totally agree with OP. the puzzles are awful. and other aspects of the game are not what i had expected it to be. Although the first play through was fun and i love the lore and the elder scrolls series because there is no other game like it, i cant see myself putting as much time in skyrim as i did with oblivion. i know its sad to think about but its true. i got to overhyped for this game and to be honest, im sure it wont get any better with the next elder scrolls game either.
