» Sun May 13, 2012 1:49 pm Firstly, calm down. Most people stop reading a post if it has more than 2 "[censored]"s and isn't funny. Secondly, I have played some of the previous games (mostly Morrowind). Thirdly, what d'you mean by "RPG elements"? 'Cause they're there. They may not be like Oblivion (and besides this bit, I won't get into asking why you think it was better), but the game is an RPG, sorry buddy.
As for the littler things, like joining hella factions or smithing Dwemer - I agree, but again, it's an RPG. If you don't like it, don't do it. It's literally your universe - play it as you see legitimate (and/or find mods that fit your style).
And in all seriousness. In the future, if you want others to take you seriously, don't rage-post. Drafts are your best friend. Cheers.

You are right, I will agree. I should have drafted. But it's three A.M. and I was tired and angry. Who wouldn't be at what is becoming of their favorite video game franchise?
Most of you obviously don't realize I clearly played the game to fruition. So obviously I cared enough about it or liked it enough to get through it. It's playability is not in question. It's the obvious direction that Bethesda is taking the Elder Scrolls in. A direction from an RPG world that had depth, and class to something for kids to play once through as they drift along to other video games every month.
I agree with many of the Ops points but not nearly so strongly.
I also think its pathetic when people flame those who like stats.
Stats can represent your character and skill in the game (much like they did in Morrowind)
You like loot? Stats are no different. They just relate to your characters skills as opposed to what the character is using.
They are a visual representation of what your playing time so far as achieved and a reminder of what path you chose and which paths you ignored.
Same as loot right? You like shiny new wizard hats and swords of death, doom and cream tea because they make you feel more powerfull. But when you find a sword of death, doom and cream tea + 1 you use that. Not because it looks better, but because its stats are better.
Same idea with character stats. So all you loot loving stat hating flamers? Shush!
Having said all that i dont think TES is dying. Its going to a place i might not be able to follow but i am getting a considerable amount of enjoyment from the current iteration. Yes i preferred Morrowind blah blah but Skyrim, for all its faults, is still a pretty phenomenal game IMO.
Its just with each iteration i become more and more weary about the direction Bethesda is following.
Like Bioware i feel they are becoming to action focused with too few RPG elements to keep my interesting. (Bioware being a step ahead of Bethesda in this case as i havent liked their games for a while)

Thank you. Like I said up there. I still played Skyrim and enjoyed it to a certain extent. But I find myself, and many others I know who love the Elder Scrolls who share my pain, that it's getting lackluster. It's losing what made it unique to, as someone said earlier, sell itself to a larger crowd to make more money.
Also if you think there is something wrong with people playing on the consoles then you're an idiot. Since when does someones opinion reflect their gameplay lifestyle?
