to be precise I have downloaded 123 mods and made them all compatible for each other, so I get no harmfull bugs or crashes.

Same for me, although not literally. (a bit different order of things)
OP, If you're getting bored, simply play another game.

Hah no.

How is that being a pimp?

It fits the parameters. RP'ing requires using an imagination sometimes.

that doesn't change anything I have played tons of other games, and I recently started playing skyrim for some time until I finished dawnguard.

Put it down for awhile, read a book, then come back. I was on a 6 month hiatus from skyrim, and just recently got back into it. RPing has added quite a bit of fun too.

I guess it all depends on expectations. After completing all main quests and side quests I am just trying to find new locations and get the occasional side quest.
I still find it fun...but there is a big dropoff when the main quests are done.

I might start over on a higher level, but the wow factor will be gone.

Sounds like LARPING.

That's outside of a video game.

To me, the value in Skyrim rests in the player's ability to shape their many characters in very unique and challenging ways. My favorite characters that I play don't all have the same gear and best of the best loots and enchantments. I uniquely design each character to play in a particular way and stick to it. I have a high elf that never wears armor and focuses exclusively on Alteration and Destruction in battle. I have a Bosmer that never uses Alchemy (Green Pact) but wears leather and bone armor and focuses on archery and makes money from hunting and gathering. It's forcing yourself to play in a specific way that makes this game shine. In that regard, no it doesn't get boring fast.

Live action roleplaying indeed sounds like roleplaying... except that it's live action.
And yes, both require imagination. Which is good.

Let me quote a wise sage named Frank: "Computer LARPing was defined here as "pretending to do something that doesn't have any effects on the gameworld". Like playing Oblivion and pretending to be a noble and dressing up in fancy clothes and only traveling on horseback and only using silver weapons because that's what nobles do, even though it makes no sense gameplay-wise at all."

Your opinion actually makes quite some sense to me because I haven never player or experienced skyrim in this way. I might try it.

Computer LARP'ing is an oxymoron.

I would definitely suggest it. Makes for some interesting gameplay. And it forces you to play and think outside of the box. Instead of just going to Whiterun all the time and maxing out your smithing so you can get in full Daedric garb with every character. Mixes it up a bit.

It's the same for me. I've had a long break from Skyrim and find myself back in Oblivion now. I just started a thread here in this section where I put up a list of the things that makes this game less interesting to me as a TES-game than the older ones.

We don't need older TES games, TES games like SKYRIM are the new thing.

Far too many quests are just dressed up fetch and return missions, but most require you to travel a fair distance, this to me added an insidious element of frustration and boredom to the whole game. Way too many pointless side quests. There were some amazing gems but they were outweighed by dross.

thats just a stupid idea if you want to do that Do it in Fallout 3

But its quite appropriate what people think of roleplaying in a game on these boards



Thats why all skills must be removed FOR MAXIMUM IMMERSHUN

I have 190 hours clocked in, am still not bored of the game (I don't do a lot of quests/dungeons so there's a bunch of dungeons I haven't even explored) and I haven't even got Dawnguard yet. I'll probably get bored after 250+ hours, I think that's quite worth the sixty bucks I payed for it.


I couldn't agree more. Grinding all crafting skills, wearing all dragonplate armor and using daedric weapons, enchanting gear, maxing out OP skills like sneaking, while clearing dungeon after dungeon and not giving a hoot about the storyline is SO much more fun. It's also the only way to PROPERLY play. Everyone knows that.

Kiefer Sutherland said I could ROLEPLAY WHAT EVER I WANTED TO.

Oh, that.
To me, that's actually one of the most important parts of playing an RPG. It definitely makes the game more enjoyable, and expands it beyond the usual boundaries the gameplay has set. That's the beauty of roleplaying, or computer LARPing, as you say.
