I have no desire to play Skyrim anymore

Sadly, this is what happens when we play on consoles. I too am rather bored of the game so I stopped playing it. My pc is too wimpy so I can't play on that. Pretty sad when my ps3 can smoke my pc for gaming, lol.

For the same price of your PS3 with all the peripherals, you can own a PC that has more capabilities, lasts longer, and has pretty much every game available (with the ability to mod some of them).

You are already going to own a PC, so it isn't the full price of the PC, simply the cost difference between a standard PC and an upgraded one. The way consoles like to svcker you is the fact that you have to buy a million billion adapters, and peripherals for games to work. If you have a PC, Mouse, and Keyboard that is all you need unless you are into Air sims that you want to buy a Joystick for.

tip- Level 30 is the endgame. Once your passed 30 everything seems so mundane and unneccessary



Mods- the solution (unless you are a console boy)

I think the fact that you level up so quickly is it's biggest flaw. I'm level 20 and I haven't done very much so far. I'm not going to want to play after I reach the maximum level.

So after playing Skyrim for about 1 month, completing every guild and what seems hundreds of side quests, as well as the main quest, i have no desire whatsoever to play Skyrim again, it's just turned out to be boring. I have started new characters but i don't see the potential in playing through them anyway. I havn't touched the game in 3 weeks due to these problems aswell as horrible lagging and freezing problems. What should i do? Any ideas would be appreciated

Yeah, I know what you should do.

Find something else you like to do

Take a break, play another game, read a book, learn knitting, whatever floats your boat. And after a while you might get the urge to play again, at which point you can continue with this character, or roll a new and different character and experience the world in a different way. it's all good, whatever makes you happy. It's just a game, don't sweat it, if you had enough for now, go do something else.

The problem isn't even level cap. Levels are fairly arbitrary in the game. You can increase your Health, Stamina, or Magicka by 10 every level. Hitting level 75 is the same as hitting level 2. It does nothing but offer a false sense of progression. Skills, cap out at 100 for all intents and purposes. Besides enchants or potions, you cannot raise the skills past 100. Itemization is completely static. You have 11 tiers of items, with one being better than the next. The moment you get the 11th tier, you no longer need to seek any weapons. What this means, is that progression stops welllllllllllllllll before level cap. As a matter of fact, the only way to get to level cap is to level skills that your avatar does not generally use, or was built to use. Why would you level? So you can complete the perks you want and still have a sense of progression, I don't know. My problem isn't level cap as much as skill cap and that item scaling is atrocious in Skyrim.

Through no fault of my own, I went from a starting Bow, to a Hunting Bow, to an Orcish Bow, to an Elven Bow all in a matter of a few hours. I skipped WHOLE tiers of items almost immediately. By level 20, I found an Ebony Bow...Around the mid 20s, my Smithing was capped out (not by camping vendors but by mining and buying mats when I would finish a quest or find a new town). I had already found a Daedra Heart so now my Ebony Bow isssss a Daedric Bow. Best Bow besides a Unique one that I got HALFWAY through just the SOFT LEVEL CAP. This means, for the next 25 levels+ I will never ever ever ever ever ever get another upgrade - ever. My itemization has stopped. I beat the game. Lame.

its easily the best open world game of all time to me..but its not for everyone...not everyone "gets" a bethesda game...the world is dynamic, with a lot of random type things that happen, there is a lot to do...you can rush through the main quest, but i'm not sure thats a good idea..i have been playing it since it came out....i did restart after a week but ever since i've been on the same character and i'm at level 55, only 2/3 way into the main quest, i did finish DB, College and Companions Questlines, but i haven't done much of the thives guild quests. i haven't done the civil war quest..i've completed about 70 quests total, but i still have a big list of main and misc quests, and i haven't been in every dungeon, prob 50 of em, i've prob only discovered half the locations on the map so far...so its a pretty big game content wise...if you rush through the main quest then consider the game done...then i guess its smaller. but if you take your time with it...it will last a long time.

Yea, if getting a Daedric Bow is what you consider to be "beating the game"

In which case, I would argue that you're in it for the wrong reasons.

I'd recommend the Witcher 2, of course you need a PC. Just a warning, posts like yours (and mine actually) are very strong trollbait.

Find Witcher 2 for the cheap. You will finish the game in < 15 hours and put it away. Maybe even delete it off your hard drive as there is no replay value whatsoever.

What other reason is there to play, to repeat the same repetitive dungeons and uninteresting side quests with absolutely no rewards, consequences, choices, or world/character development of any kind ad infinitum just for the sake of it? Skyrim needs to take a few notes of RPG mechanics from its predecessors and otherwise.

Sorry, but itemization must persist. Progression of story and of character is the foundation of an RPG. If you disagree with me, then you should be perfectly happy if they removed itemization out of the game altogether, along with Perks and Levels right? Look, I am in it for the game and I like to explore, the system they use for Skyrim counteracts the world that they have designed and implemented. Why have an open world that is dynamic, yet itemization and character progression is static??? That does not make any sense.

You played a game for a month, completed a majority of its content, and then got bored of it ... I don't understand the issue?

I understand your dilemma. It's an infantile role player. You can thank your local console distributor for that.

I suggest you play another game. Play Neverwinter Nights 2. It's older, but fun.

If you like sports management. Go play a soccer (football) management sim.

If you like challenging economy/city builders, play Anno 2070. It's hard, but fun.

Play Lord of the Rings online, or Age of Conan. Both are well made role-players.

Just stay away from D&D, asian art games, or any game that has anything to do with consoles and you'll be fine.

Don't complain. All games eventually get old and become boring. The thing with Skyrim and other similar games is that after a few to several months they start getting intesting again.
When you do play them again, try to beat you're old record.

This isn't Galaga. The problem with Skyrim is that it loses its steam before the game is close to over and your character has reached the end of his/her journey. I don't know about you, but when there is a book that loses your interest before you get to the last page, that is a crappy book.

And yet, almost 10 years later I still love and play NWN. It would take me two lifetimes and even then I would probably not make a dent in all the awesome player made content.
