I don't understand why people say they're disappointed of Skyrim and then compare it to another game. Its a new game. It has new things. The elder scrolls series shouldn't be the same. Every time. I also saw many threads saying Skyrim is dark. No it isn't.... It has a beautiful environment and a realistic feel to it. When I first play the game. I just took my time to look at every details. The leaves falling from the trees. The chirping from the birds. The waterfall. The river. Fish jumping in the water. The wind blowing the trees and grasses. Its just wonderful... I think every Elder scrolls game is unique since its very different from each other.Stop hating on skyrim and take your time to think about it. I'm just annoyed that every time I go the forums. I would see threads saying Oh... I'm disappointed. People are disappointed because its new and they just don't understand the concept. I just wonder... Do people ever think before they make a thread?

I think people are disappointed with the game's depth, not the graphics or the details. The depth is horrifyingly bad, I'll attest to that. The guilds should have WAY deeper quests, the main questline and the Stormcloak vs. Empire questline should be expanded upon more, and the overall feel is very shallow. I like the game for what it is, but Bethesda could have done MUCH better with the depth.

pointless flame removed

I could not agree more. I agree completely!



Every Elder Scrolls game I've played has been great (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) each with relative positives and negatives.

Why do people use the word "hate" for everything?
"STOP HATING ON HERPY DERP"
It's a difference between discussing what could've been better and simply hating the game, learn it.

So much this. Right here.

People has to learn to adapt to something new and stop complaining because you know what. There won't be a game that you perfectly agree with.

This

The world is amazing yes its the best aspect of this game, but it does lack depth.

All game forums are like that, full of haters.

No, not for a Beth game. Beth's games are about YOU creating a character and living the character's life, not about Beth making a story, quests, etc. If you want a deep story, play a Japanese RPG such as Xenosaga or Tales of Vesperia or Star Ocean. If you want a deep world to experience, play a Beth game. Two different approaches, both are good.

Why? Because people expected t, u, v, w, x, y and z . When those weren't implemented, the boards blew up with angry/disappointed/complaining threads.

Paste on the inherent bugs and performance issues and you have a recipe for hate.

If they want to make a completely new game they could have used a new IP.

Why make a game in an established series? Because a lot people have heard or played the games in the same series before and they have enjoyed it. So making a game in an established series can easily garner much more attention and sell much better.

Imagine if this game is not called TES:Skyrim but something else, do you think it'll still garner this much attention even before release?

However, when you make a game in an established series, people will have expectation on the game. Expecting it to be a new game, as well as having features they loved in the previous games.

So when the game is release, people who had these expectations but found it no where to be realized, they'll be disappointed(e.g. Spell crafting, great guild quests, etc).
And for players new to this series, they do no have such expectations so to them there seems to be no disappointment.

I use hate because people use the word disappointing. They don't respect bethesda's hard work and they don't even recommend what part of the game could've been better or even discuss what would improve the game. I don't ever talk about a negative thing about a game because They did what they did. They worked hard.

But if you look at Morrowind, Arena, Daggerfall, and Oblivion, they actually had quest lines that made impacts on the world. Skyrim is missing some of that, which I find sad because I really like Skyrim's world and really want to shape it.

I can find many threads that are sooo disrespectful to bethesda. You get a new game and you complain? You get no game and you complain? I don't get what they could possibly do? Every fan has a different mind. Every fan wants something differently. Soo.. Its pretty hard for them to listen to the fans. Soo... Please guys. Be mature and respect their work because at least we got a new game.

Yup. That's one of Skyrim's weakest points. Nothing you do has any impact on the world. They just don't care whatever the hell you do.

Every game in the elder scrolls has a positive and a negative thing.

Really? Name one quest that actually made a impact on the world?

Yes, and by discussing the negative aspects of the game it doesn't mean we're hating, only thinking of ways they can improve it.

You're understanding of peoples concerns and calling it hate is lacking.

Yeah Skyrim's a new game, In age. nothing more, its still TES, it still takes place in the TES universe, and it still draws from aspects that happened in Past games, it being "new" has nothing to do with it deserving Galvanization from critic.


Wanting things done right in Past games to return, and things done wrong to be improved is an Unreasonable expectation? oh my I must rethink my life.


This thread is just griping about people, and not discussing anything relevant directly to the Game, can we move this to Comm discussion.

Bethesda is made up of advlts, not children they can handle criticism. Just because you work hard on something for a long time doesn't mean it always comes out smelling like roses.

Off the top of my head, the House quests in Morrowind were pretty deep. Not necessarily completely world-changing, which I think was a mistake on my part to mention, but they were far deeper and actually felt more thought-out than the Skyrim guild quests. Anyone saying that the Skyrim guilds have "good" questlines (besides the Thieves Guild and MAYBE the Dark Brotherhood) hasn't played any of the other games.

I'm a fan of the elder scrolls and I wouldn't even talk about one thing bad about the game because I respect bethesda and I love their games alot... I would only talk about the positive things about the game.

Do you considered yourself as mature? Because making threads talking [censored] about the game and complaining isn't so mature.

By discussing the negative the aspects of the game is the thing you hate. The negative is the thing you dislike.
