honestly no my buzz wore of a long time ago. do you happen to have any? im out. oh and if you do have some lets smoke together.

Did Borderlands feature a character creator where you chose seven major and seven minor skills in the beginning, i don't think so. Have anyone build a tower out of books or a fort of pillows.

Ok ad something new and different but don't take away the ability to fully customize your character.

ok but fists wtf fists dont give you xp in anything why the hell would you go fists? you would have to have heavy armor before your fists actually start doing enough damage for them to be useful before i die from failure to even come close to winning. fists wow fail to you. you start with your fist ill start with magic.....yea thats right i win before you even attempt to hurt me so continue failing with ur fists

did Skyrim.....i think not

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM, YOU VIOLATED THE LAW, PAY THE COURT A FINE OR SERVE YOUR SENTENCE, YOUR NARCOTICS ARE NOW FORFEIT

Making a claim that your character is no longer 'unique' when you look at the Perk system is kind of blindsiding yourself. Under the older leveling system, you could max out all skills and all stats with enough work. There is no way short of cheating to gain enough Perk points to max out every skill tree. In that way, i'd argue that the adoption of the Perk system has infact increased the instances of unique character builds beyond what was possible with the Statistic system previously.

And for the ability to choose your strengths as weaknesses, as its been said you do. You choose them based on how you act. If you don't use magic till level 30, its a weakness. If you don't pick up a shield untill 50, its a weakness. Just like in the real world, your strengths and weaknesses are not determined by some arbitrary checklist you do when your born. They are determined by what skills you chose to develop as you live.

There are some skills which i think were cut out for mindless streamlining purposes, but i felt the same way with Oblivion. The weapon skills are, IMO, bordering on the idiotic due to their rampant simplicity. Using a Long Sword compared dagger are two very different skills, using a Sword compared to a Mace is a complete other ball game. For the attempt to push living realism, the constant cut-back on weapon skills is counter intuitive and in most cases functionally wrong. The same can be said for the armour skills, as the removal of Medium armour has caused a strange disjunction between how armour sets grade, and the addition of Dragonbone/Dragonscale hasn't helped matters any.

The OP's complaints about realism breakers stands up to truth. Between the borderline stupification of skills and the often obscene weight discrepencies, there are some issues which are unresolvled and which i am surprised Bethesda did not clue in on. As far as uniqueness of characters? I think someone's not looking at the whole picture, and rather just the part that no longer has a Stat list. Of course, this would hold more weight if the skill trees were more ballanced... As it is, theres almost no insentive to be a Mage.

it's like you just write everything that is in your mind and at the end you place a point...

(pulls out medical card) BACK THE F-U-C-K UP!!! I GOTS U CANT TOUCH THIS CUZ UR A NUB!!!

My point is that Morrowind is my favorite game, and all the things which made it good. When i have played Skyrim i have narrowed my self down to 4-5 skills to use then if someone wants to use all skills they they shall not complain about the character creator and not chose skills in the beginning.

if you would have read i did mention i like the perk system and that i could except not having the stats either......didnt read everything did you sir.....so sad.......get all the info before you comment.....do some research first sir and get your facts straight.....then post

There's a piece of light armor that you can find pretty early that helps with fist fighting. That will hold you over until the heavy armor bonus kicks in.

Was it silly to put fist fighting where it is as far as the perk is concerned... yeh, I think so. But it can still be done. Hard, but possible. I know... I'm doing it.

Basically what this thread is.

Ok, so you think Morrowind was better because you could throw darts and use spears?

Wow, this topic exploded since my last post...

Hey, thanks for pointing out my one mistake. I fixed it. Now please fix yours so your posts become a bit more legible.

Actually, in Final Fantasy games, you are given a pre-defined character in terms of looks, personality, and often times skill set. In Skyrim, you decide what you character looks like, how they act in different situations, and what they can do. I can make an Altmer, which is normally a spell casting race, into a mighty warrior on par with the most powerful of Nords. My Bosmer is never forced to use bows simply because they are naturally good at that. My Khajit is a mage, not a thief. My Imperial is a proud member of the Stormcloaks. My Breton joined the Legion in order to establish some political stability in the world, and my Dunmer kills everything in sight. Just because he can.

Were this a Final Fantasy game, each race would have a predefined role, and your character would be an emo teen/young advlt wrist cutter with mommy issues. And possibly amnesia.

You can bypass the autocensor and the best insult you could come up with was Nub?

final fantasy X you can have any of the characters abilities if you kept going down the sphere grid.....

not trying to insult

Am I the only one finding the OPs posts to be really stressful reading? For some reason the lack of grammar makesmereadeverythinglikethis.

Oh well.

The trainers worked just fine for me and I bought the game the day it was released. How can you train your skills wrong when everything in the game is statically leveled? All you have to do is make sure to build endurance enough to gain hit points and intelligence to gain mana, both of which could be done at the same time unlike with Skyrim where you actually have to choose one or the other.

Forumgoer was hit in the eyes for 9001 hit points, causing severe blindness, as if there was any other kind.
