If they don't have the time then don't play a game that takes up so much time. You can make a new character and use free time in that character.

I see this as another thing to appease the crowd that wants all the hand holding in their game, the a knowing compass, fast travel, and not the perk reset, soon people will want the game to play itself.

Well for me, I usually stick to one class regardless. I feel like there is such a thing as too much freedom for a player. For other people it might work and that's great for them, but I feel kinda bogged down with all the choices say like in Kingdoms of Amalur where you can respec. I think it just boils down to personal preference. I chose not to indulge in the whole respec thing of Amalur and still had a good time.

Im sorry but thats nonsense. Anyone who restarts the game because they picked one perked they then later didnt like is in an extreme minority, as that is OCD behaviour. Expecting the devs to completely devalue the games replay aspects so that a handful of OCD gamers can rest easy is foolhardy. As I said there are 81 levels, one mis-spent perk makes absolutely no difference. You could spend 20 perks and still change your mind and advance the character differently with no problems doing so.

you gain VL and WW perks by killing and feeding on enemies.

No, you can play this game all the way though as one character, Bethesda gives you the option of not having to replay. You guys seem to think that since this game is an RPG, you must spend your life playing it (Provided I do, I have over 10 characters 40+). This game is built on, options, you can do what you want and on your own time, if you want to play a character who was reset, then don't. But why will you force people to have to reset a character, that they have spent many hours on, just because you don't like the idea of resetting.

Should we be able to reset quests? respec dragon souls, sell items and spells for equal value as to what we bought them for because we found out they weren't as good as we liked. Perk Respecing is no different it erases the consequences of choice and makes them pointless. If your worried about if a perk will be good or not save your damn game before taking it so you can test drive it out.

Not to mention many of the people crying for respec play the same character for 200 or more hours.


You have to accept the fact its never going to happen. The new riften NPC can't change gender or race only base appearance why on earth would you think they'd ever add a perk respec?

Perk Respec will never happen, no matter how much people about it.

A game bulit on options is meaningless if those options don't mean anything.

...all I am hearing from this is, "I don't like resetting, I don't want other people to have the option too". This is starting to sound extremely selfish...

As most of these very pointless arguments on this website, there is always the one smart sentence "Don't like it? DO USE IT!"

All I'm hearing is "I don't want to live with the consequences of my actions so Bethesda should pander to my inability and make the game even easier" Save your game before picking a perk so you can try it out, that solves your problem of taking a bad perk. You want to edit your character because you don't like your choices play on the PC and use console commands.

After refusing to give an attributed respec in Morrowind/Oblivion, after having no perk respec in Fallout 3/NV and after leaving out changing gender for the Riften NPC who can change appaerance why on earth would you ever believe they'd give an option to respec perks in Skyrim.

Asking to respec perks is no different then asking for a guy who can reset quests, and undo every other choice you've made in the game.

Your talking to me about options when I am the one that advocates options about these games freely and I have since I signed up on these forums. You think that because this game is an open world it should pander to those that want things to easy. I will play this game here more than any other until the release of TES VI, so what the idea of resetting your perks is a crutch people will lean on and that is ridiculous in a single player RPG with 81 perks with a wide open format on how to customize your character. One misplaced perk is not detrimental to your characters progress.

They should put it in there as a reward for a quest that you need to be, say, lvl 30 or up to start. Make it easier for people who look back and say "that wasn't exactly what I was going for." I know on my main char there are a lot of things that I wouldn't have chosen for him now. It would be nice to get rid of the "slow time while zoomed in perk," or (on a side note) make it optional. I play on 360, but I also believe there is a mod to allow the player to use dragon souls to unlock perks they had not planned on- thought this seems a bit too easy, considering how often I get ambushed by those giant lizards.

You think, I'm complaining for myself? No, I saved a level 81 character with no perks picked, so I can reset with no problem (Unless I wanted to play a different race).

And again, if you don't want to make the game easier, don't use the feature. You, yourself don't need to make the game easier for yourself. Forcing you to use something to make the game easier is a different story, but nothing in this game forces you to make it easier. Options have meaning, you have to give them your own meaning.

Switching your perks just because people want one powerhouse character is ridiculous, its a crutch people want they want their RPGs to be an RPG with less consequence on how you build your character.

But it can determine your end results. One misplaced perk and leave you one perk away from what you wanted, just because when you were level 5 you thought this perk would of helped you and now at level 81, that one little perk stopped you and it does even do anything good. If they let you at least reperk only-once, they will make a lot of people happy.

Yeah but it all boils down to player choice. It's you're own choice if you want to respec or not, and in turn your own fault if doing so kills the replay value.

Im not against it myself. I'll necer use it, but I wouldn't lose any sleep if it was implemented.

So? by that logic they should give you enough perks to take all of them, because that would make people happy but we both know thats never going to happen. By level 81 you should have a dozen or more perks to spare, I know mine did. They didn't include the perk system in skyrim so it could be rendered meaningless.

You want to respec perks play on the PC and cheat using the console commands because thats what respecing is.

With that many perks it would be hard to screw up with one perk and besides the perks are not that game changing they are mainly percent boost anyways.

There is no viable reason to respec your charecter because you take one perk you do not want.

If its that big of an issue chart out your perks before you build your character that is what I do and it has never failed me.

I would like that...a lot.

Soooooo tired of these.

And here I am working on a new character just for Dawnguard thinking I needed perks for the new trees!
