We also find nord culture to be more boring than nordic cultures and nords stupid (i looked deeply into it and he looked at it…..)
What the bloody hell does this run on sentence mean? It's completely nonsensical.
I pick on dwemer ruins because they are wrecks to us.
Newsflash. Dwemer ruins ARE supposed to be wrecks. Elsewhere in the news: Water is wet. Man bites dog. Sugar is sweet.
…throwing knives, more magic and less of those appalling kill animations, especially when the standard animations fail. He's a 10 year old who spends the same ammount of time on skyrim as he does COD (first tes game he got into was Ob, he didnt get to play much or morrowind) and doesnt pay attention to the lore yet he shares MY opinion ( a fanatic) in almost everything that skyrim has done wrong.
I'm not going to ask why your 10 year old brother is playing a M rated game. That being said, perhaps wait until both of you mature enough to be less impatient with a low action rpg game like this? Did you ever consider that part of the reason why your younger brother might find this game "boring" is because of the M rating? That there
ARE games out there on the market in which not 100% of everything is a mindless shoot em up or hack and slash? That TES happens to be one of them? That a lot of the non-violent complexity in the game play may be lost on him, simply because he's too young to understand the subtlety encountered in the in game lore that goes back to previous games like Arena and Battlespire? That he may lack the maturity to appreciate the knowledge obtained from reading books to discover better ways of combat, crafting, or uncovering actual quests from stories in these books? Or realizing the in game TES history will better help him understand the events of the civil war? The racial situation in Tamriel? Or gain knowledge about exploration in the Skyrim environment, collecting ingredients for potions etc. etc .
That being said, I'd also hope that he dedicates more time towards REAL LIFE activities (besides the social networking variety)
Like playing soccer, doing homework, and interacting with real live people. The fact a 10 year old is actually playing a game like this pretty much sums up what's wrong with this entire post IMO.
Now- if a casual gamer finds something boring generic- what are bethesda doing in making the game MORE generic? Clearly if both ends of the spectrum agree that The game is truly unimaginative,uninspiring and seemingly unending in some areas then bethesda should try and make areas and cultures unique?
The question is : what are
YOU doing to make the game less generic?? My recommendation: have your 10 year old brother go play Saints Row 3.
If it's ok for him to play M games, SRTT should give him the most for his investment. A casual, superficial--and completely mindless---action game experience.
And instead of complaining, I'd suggest that you personally consider writing a mod to improve what you dislike about the game.We Simply avoid those places because of how there is always more traps, less rewards and boring enemies. To us- Transcerning the transmundane, finding an elderscroll and unfathomable depths (he isn't in the college) were the worst quests in the game due to how much time you spend in these places.
Your brother's age exempts him by default. But you unfortunately seem to belong to a new, and increasingly impatient breed of gamer. A casual sort of gamer who doesn't care for game play depth, is highly goal oriented, demands instant gratification from every game play exploit (aka must have an achievement trophy for every damned thing you do in the game), prefers graphics and fps to quality and content, must have instantaneous means of tracking your social status through stats, and prefers social media/multiplayer to single player games.
You're the type of new gamer who hates creative problem solving, and so doesn't care for open sandbox type of gameplay. You gravitate to games that are completley dumbed down, so that you can "beat the game" faster. You prefer to have your hand held through every stage of the gameplay. You're an impatient type of gamer who is obsessed with leveling/skilling up, cheating most of the way to level/skill up, playing god mode characters who magically annihilate/hack,/slash every NPC your character encounters throughout the entire game...
You're basically the type of casual gamer who is easily bored if the game pace doesn't consist of mindless non stop action.
Heaven forbid if you actually have to use your brain and READ something like a book that would actually help you in game. Based on what you've said, I've got the impression you're a new type of TES gamer who basically fast travels everywhere, uses console cheats to get the best armor /weapons /skills, and masacres anything that crosses your path in the game.
All just so you can brag about how fast you've "beaten the game in X hours" on this forum, Twitter and on FB. And after "beating the game" you wind up making posts like "Bored of Skyrim", or "Skyrim svcks", or posts like these.
Thankfully, the TES franchise still has a ways to go before completely catering to this type of gamer.
Makes me wonder what your opinion would've been if Skyrim actually required you navigate by
TYPING on a keyboard. That's how navigation in TES games like Daggerfall and Arena used to be. And if you spelled anything incorrectly, you could forget traveling anywhere. And those old school games were damned hard to "beat" compared to today's standards btw. So count yourself lucky that technology now restricts you to mouse clicking or button mashing!

Furthermore, I wasn't part of the Xbox generation - there were no first person shooters. 
Attention spans just keep on droppin'...
