Maybe I am just blowing off steam.... maybe i am not but I just feel like this game is just a pretty Christmas present box with a bunch of rocks inside.

This truth deserves to be in a signature.

Holy crap, someone else who places Oblivion at the bottom! I'm not alone anymore!

You should take this to technical support section, along with a dxdiag report. They should be able to help you with the CTD issues.

This is true.

Wernt you supposed to raise your hand first?

It's not nostalgia, each game has just gotten progressively worse since Morrowind. Oblivion is somewhat lesser than Morrowind, Skyrim is much worse than either one.

Skyrim may be a better game in comparison to TES VI after it's released, but won't be a good game just because of that, because the state of it being good or not isn't going to change if the game doesn't change. It's not a good game

Yes, after Oblivion was released people talked about ways in which it was worse than Morrowind. I can still explain all of those and they're still true, it didn't suddenly become "better" because Skyrim is released. It's still just an "alright/a little above average" game. I just don't think people bother "criticizing" it much now, because it's clear that Bethesda isn't going to change the game now that Skyrim is released, and they're probably going to pay more attention to user discussion about Skyrim. So if people want the next game to be improved, it makes sense for them to talk about what's wrong with the most recent game...

Weren't you supposed to stop acting as if you're a moderator or something?

Dude, please hush and take your issues elsweyr.

I am not acting as a moderator but most my complaints son are not all technical.

I am quite certain that opening a thread on how bad the game is right after it crashed on you for the N-th time isn't exactly the best way to be an impartial judge.

This will probably get closed soon at this rate.

1. One of the buggiest games i have EVER played, I really do not saving a lot in games, as I feel its a better challenge but in a game like skyrim I am saving every ten minutes or so afraid of getting a CTD or crashing and having to restart all over again.

Guess you don't play FPS games much. BF3 is chock full of game breaking bugs.

2. Exploring, while skyrim is very beautiful I am feeling exploring in skyrim is not a rewarding as the past two games, while the places are beautiful there is no special items or equipment or real incentives of going ANYWHERE besides sightseeing, which isnt a BAD thing but I feel there is NO reward for exploring.

If you want to find Daedric axes in the bottom of a creek, you really aren't cut out for this type of game. Exploring is about finding cool things in the landscape, not finding a fortune in gemstones or doomsday weapon. Kinda like that castle that is submerged in a lake. I found it on an old character and I forget what it was called, but you had to enter through the trapdoor on one of the towers.

3. Killcams SO frequent.

This is purely personal preference. I like the common killcams. You don't. Doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the game.

4. Mods, not a player issue, I believe the lack of interesting or intrest in mods is not the players fault but due to how buggy this game is half work half dont, half cause CTDS. Not all mods are bad it just feels like a huge risk having to download one unlike the past TES.

Yeah, downloading something some 40 year old virgin made in his basemant is not a good idea compared to downloading something an experienced and proffesional group of designers made(hint:Bethesda)

5. Spells/Mage. Lack of "Interesting spells", also very weak.

The only valid complaint here.

6. The lack of creepiness, this is a personal one imo but oblivion and morrowind had a lot more creepier places and sights than skyrim.

Cyrodiil was bright and sunny. Skyrim is dark and mysterious. Not creepy? Go stand on an ice floe in the Sea of Ghosts surrounded ice wraiths. This is personal preference though, and I can't truly argue it.

7. Horses are slow

In Cyrodiil you have smooth rolling hills and clean roads. In Skyrim you have rocky crags, crumbling road and insurmountable mountains. So, in Cirodiil you have horses like Arabians, Bays, Paints, the quick and nimble variety suited to light and fast travel. In Skyrim you have Clydesdale horses, the big hardy ones. It's all for realism.

8.Side quest, almost all I played so far that did not push the main story line are very lacking and uninteresting.

Completely your opnion, doesn't make the game good or bad. I loved the twists in the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves guild questlines.

9. Very easy, seems like most things die in 1-3 hits not even using exploits.

[censored].

10. Exploits, very easily exploitable even when you dont want to exploit.
Again, [censored]. Also again, look at MW3 and BF3.

On my 39th year on the earth, I find it a little bit difficult to be your son. About the non-technical complaints, let's be honest: you wouldn't have posted even half of them, if the CTDs hadn't driven you mad. So, let's start from resolving these first.

No! Khajiit have MANY problems alreaedy, you and your [censored] leave us alone!

I dont mean son as you are my biological son, I mean son as you learn from me about life.

I've played much buggier games. And it's a great game.

Name two.

I'm still not ruling this out. Usually at the end of these threads people do find new parents.

Oblivion.

Morrowind.

Daggerfall
Morrowind
Oblivion
New Vegas
Fallout 3
All of which have been buggier than my Skyrim experience.

Battlefield 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Fallout new vegas, Battlefield 3. Dragon age 2. Fable 2

Oh boy, this thread again.

OP has got [censored] hard.

Just sayin'
