Contrary to your opinion a majority of gamers like sixual content in our video games. The Witcher is an action RPG with sixual content if you can't deal with that your safe in Skyrim becaue it doesn't have any. It could use some imo.

Hah, Theres a fricken Necromancer who kidnaps young girls and turns them into his undead six slaves!

Frankly... I've never seen six as a very big part of marriage.

Or gaming for that matter.

Always felt like a gimmick one way or the other.

Hit it and quit it, real life is played best casually.

That doesn't even make sense. A marriage system that ignores gender, a concession to the far right? You're just grasping at straws.


And I saw the scene on the internet. Pure fanbait.


Of course it wasn't handled right, and I don't know if it can be handled well in an RPG.

Dagoth Ur

Mankar Camoran

Legate Lanius

Alduin
*Insert random trash talking one liners about how he is the mightiest in all the world, and how we are arrogant to try and fight him, blah blah blah.* We never even get to engage him in proper conversation even once in the game. He's no better as a villain, than any random bandit. His motivations are all over the place, and he never even does anything to personally wrong us or spur us to kill him aside from, "ho hum destiny".

For what?

What in the world was Mankar Camoran except exactly that? Alduin is ten times more impressive than either Mankar Camoran, who simply spews megalomaniac lines about his grand plans, and Dagon, who I don't remember even talking.

If change means mediocrity, you can have it, i got no problem with that.

As the ever important option of course.

(lulz)

"You are not worthy to call yourself dovah..."
Alduin=Badass

Alduin never did anything to you?

I was thinking eating the world was pretty well explained, and would be quite painful for the Dovahkin.

RAAARRRGH THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN!!!!11

lol

But seriously, what in the world makes people want more sixual content in their games? I mean, really? How many times do I have to point out how distinctly third-rate a clumsily animated computer character is compared to the availability of nubile young women taking their clothes off for the camera every ten seconds in movies, both the ones filmed in Hollywood, and the ones filmed in various places in California and Nevada that have, well, shall we say, less plot-oriented values?

There's lots of real skin available to watch. What's the point of shoehorning it into a game just to satisfy the nineteen year olds when it will impede the fourteen year olds being able to play the game?

It can help to enrich a narrative I guess, providing drama through relationships.

I don't see it helping much as a game mechanic though, well outside of trading or bonuses.

Skyrim obviously focused on the latter.

My comments in red

Impressive looking, maybe. But as an actual character with motivations and power to alter the world? Hardly. I never once felt threatened by him or his dragons. For such a powerful intelligent race, they are awfully disorganized, and he keeps a rather long chain to his servitors.

Why did he never call his risen priests and draugr, and other dragons to lead devastating attacks and claim cities in his name converting more to his worship? Why did he never think to engage us in combat at any point during his dragon resurrections, if he knew we were powerless to stop him before acquiring dragonrend? Why did he save us at Helgen? Why did he not bother to try and convince others it would be in their best interest to stand with him than against him?

His entire character is literally set up to fail, as he makes countless "cartoon villain" mistakes in a row. It's absolutely pathetic. A good villain should make you hate them, a good antagonist could make you love or hate them depending on their motivations and drives, Alduin however, is neither as he prompts only indifference from me.

For fun ,interest, excitement ,intrigue, plain old fantasy RPG goodnes. You don't read much D&D type fantasy do you. Romance is always a good thing what are you anti six or something.

six sells, see annual revenues of the porm industry.

He was a descendant of the royal Camoran dynasty of Valenwood (known to potentially have interbred with Ayleid refugees) whose father, Camoran the Usurper, led a major Tamrielic uprising. By the time he is met in Oblivion, he is a prophetic proponent of the age-old Elvish goal of returning to the Dawn, when the Aldmeri considered themselves to be gods, by destroying Mundus, the physical realm reviled by the Elves (particularly the Altmer and presumably the Aldmeri and Ayleids before them) as the prisoner's cage created by the trickster Lorkhan/Shor/Shezarr. He utilizes Dagon's inherent nature to destroy Tamriel to attempt to realize his goals and formed the Mythic Dawn as such. It is arguably assumable that he is, to some degree, an Ayleid descendant and that the Camoran bloodline may be Dragonborn (given their royalty and Camoran's symbolic wearing of the amulet). His goals are readily available and he does, you know, actually speak to the player. I'm not a big proponent of Oblivion's story, but that alone is far more than we can really know about Alduin and what's going on there... he just taunts us a few times, not that Oblivion's story is even good, really.

Not the guy you quoted but I thought braveheart was cringe inducing rubbish.

Here are just some the films I like (off the top of my head):

LA Confidential
Memento
Mississipi Burning
The Remains of the Day
The King's Speech
Honeydripper
The Blues Brothers (not the 2000 version)
Pi
Black Swan
Shawshank Redemption
Speed
Terminator 1
Die Hard 1
The Orphanage (not the orphan, which is crap)
Brazil
Dr Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange
2001: A space Odyssey
Blade Runner
SIlence of the Lambs
Fight Club
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

theres only so much they can do on a console bud.

With story? What?

Well thats the only reason I can come up with...

You could just as easily say that Alduin was doomed to fail when your character survived getting his head chopped off, Alduin's destiny was doom this time around.

Indeed, if one consider's P-nax, it could also be said that the line between villain and hero has been considerably blurred in Skyrim. Just read a few posts about dragons, there is much sympathy for them now.

Skyrim didn't have too many boundaries, no set black and whites, it was a sea of grey in more ways than one.

I've found that those are normally the more difficult stories to interpret, or write for that matter, and as absolutes go... they tend to be pretty predictable.

Ahhhh... If I wanted to launch an ad hominem attack on you i'd just ask you how old you are. So I shan't. Interesting you would suggest others who appreciate how TW2 handles six of being puerile and at the same time you see no place for six in fiction - for, remember , games are fiction - other than sixual arousal. six is part of life. If games partly aspire to depict life, fictional life, in some form or other, it's only natural they would include some. Nobody is requesting porm.

They tried to make it a sea of grey, but mostly failed. They are better off leaving that kind of "pesky" and complex writing to people who can actually do it proper justice. Like I said, Alduin's character boils down to "I R EVIL DRAGON." Nothing more, there is no complexity there.
