Beautyfull Graphics but no challenge

Post » Fri Jun 01, 2012 8:20 pm

I can't stop complaining and blaming , this game had so much potential , its very beautyfull for a bethesda ES game compared to the old ones but, unfortunately Itfeel so unchallenging and flat ...
the game is too much simple , so simple , streamlined , easyfied and other synonimous of the word ...
I miss honestly the complexity of morrowind but also from other rpgs ...
this game is a beautyfull to see but makes you easily bored after some time because it really has no deepness in the gameplay , the story is beautyfull the world is beautyfull the art department this time is the best ever of the series , the music is superbe , the dialogues great , the concept itself and the story is great altough too short but the Gameplay ? nonexhistant ...... just walk slash put one perk and go on .... no options no dialogues no choices ..... Poor so damn poor and so damn easy ...

I don't mean easy = easy to kill enemies , I mean easy = few choices to make few customization , you just play and are what you play is just a fool idea .....

what rpg game is that ? No class no choices no specialization no anythin , just rise level and you can get all perks you want , I can be mage thief and warrior all together no need to redo another player apart for the graphic aestethics... Come on Bethesda Gameplay in this title is a joke ...

It was made this way to appeal to causal players on consoles, only uber gamers play on PC so Bethesda wants money to continue paying off their million dollar mortgages and bills.

Allow me to guide you to a more challenging experience....

Go to settings, then changing difficulty from novice to master.

Other then maybe the lose of spellmaking whats so complex about Morrowind? Attributes? they didnt make things more complex. I have spend tons more time strategizing perk choices they I ever did advancing attributes. I re-played Morrowind not that long ago and don't find it complex at all. Crappy game mechanics don't mean complexity.

And after level 20ish Morrowind wasnt challenging at all.

Adding on that, grab a Daedric sword and make it legendary along with your armor then the master difficulty turns back to novice.

You're not whining and you make a good point, so I'm going to agree with you. :)

That's a shame.


no class no choices no tspecialization no anythin g, just rise level and you can get all perks you want

That's odd, my Ranger-ish character is reasonably specialized, and doesn't nearly have enough perks to "max out" the skills she's using. I've had to make plenty of choices of which perks to get, and the skills that I haven't put them in are a good bit weaker than they would have been in Oblivion (where you could get all perks in every skill, regardless of which your "class" had defined as "major").

I consider the fact that you're not locked into stereotypical archetypes a plus. If you want to specialize, you can. If you don't, you don't have to. Seems to me that that means more customization and more choices to make, not less.

FYI, a common marketing trick is to give you the illusion of making choices by limiting your choices. Its a little strange, but you feel like you're making a more important decision when you are given a choice between beef or chicken dinner rather than an entire buffet, even though the buffet gives you a lot more options.

I have a friend , he is an avid player in xbox , he buys almoust all games from FPS to RPGs to car games etc ... he loved oblivion , his words , after playing the first hours the game of skyrim he was like WOW .... after few time ( he is the kind of completionist player ) he become level 81 thanks to bugs and tricks bethesda left out , he spoiled his game in a way but hey that's also how he likes to play and what he did also on oblivion ..... but the fact is that he got bored of this game now and he wasn't of oblivion ,his words have been ..... that game was too much simplified and become boring , also he was totally upset that he got no rewards for the battles and quests and that they where too short especially the main one , complained of the streamlinization of the dungeons that now become altough differently crafted one from the other , all the same , why? because they all follow the same formula : enter .... kill the first scum , bandits or draugrs , meet the final bosss and look into the final chest , no need to go back , there is always the second backdoor exit ....

I don't get it, you could be a thief,mage,warrior hybrid in the other games aswell. Especially in Oblivion i felt gimped if i wasn't a mage/warrior or mage/thief. In Skyrim i can atleast play a pure fighter.
If you wanto play a pure class, why don't you just play a pure? I mean you can high skillpoints in alot of things but those skillpoints don't really mean much unless you spend perks.
Would've wanted more perks and deeper specilization options tho..

I used to play on Master, but then i took an arrow in the knee.



In all honesty though, even master later on is easy. It's still a great game and i love it, and no doubt mods will make this game incredible, but it's missing something... It just feels..... Too casual........ Still my GOTY though, and probably will be for the next few years :tes:

Yeah... because you had to think about carefully choosing skills back then...

And yeah... you become good at using a weapon by thinking "hey, that'll be my class", NOT by using it

Those are facts... :whistling:

That is what makes money now. This is for the common gamer. BUT, there is still over 100+ hours maybe even 250+ hours to play Skyrim just like any other TES game. What other game really gives you 100+ hours without starting over and over again?

Yes Skyrim is for the "common gamer" but there is alot of stuff in there for the older gamer as well.

If you are so unhappy with it, maybe it's time to move onto another series and forget TES now, since sadly this is the way. Either accept it, and keep playing or don't and move on. Nothing is going to change since Morrowind is a dumbed down version of Daggerfall, Oblivion is a dumbed down version of Morrowind and Skyrim is a dumbed down version of Oblivion. TES VI will be a dummbed down version of Skyrim.

So we either accept it or don't.

I love Skyrim, and starting to like the dumbed down stuff. Yes sure I would love more complexity and options in the game. Thing is, I still find the game really hard. I am still loving the game even with it's all streamlining, and simplification. At least having no "classes", I find new and refreshing because I don't need anyone to tell me how to play it. You want to be a Warrior, you define what a Warrior is. Same goes for Mage, Thief or any other class you want. You are no longer restricted to what a "class" is suppose to be. Right there is the biggest freedom and choice we have.

I think everyone needs to read this. Unlike Oblivion, you cannot become an all powerful mage/warrior/thief. You actually have to specialize because of the limited number of skill points. I never understood the argument because in both Morrowind and Oblivion you ended up god-like, yet people [censored] about it for Skyrim and refuse to see it for the others.

YES Oblivion and morrowind where far from perfect but at least gived you some choices.... now instead of fixing the problem with those games they decided that there was no need to do it and just simplified even more .....

and I mean beautifull in the very sense of Beauty - full
