Why can't I get into this? : V - Skyrim

I think another problem is, Skyrim is not made for it's fans but for the "common gamer". Simple as that.

I swear Bethesda has made me stupid now. I can't play challenging games no more.

I'm a fan. I like the game. I was probably playing pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons before you were born. Your perception will lways be your perception but that doesn;t make it a universal truth. No TES game has been 'challenging' as far as I'm concerned. When I want challenging I fire up a flight simulator or a racing simulator. There's never been anything like a learning curve in TES aside from elarning the controls. You want challenging? Get a good combat flight simulator (not a game) and learn ACM. That's challenging :wink:

edit- I am too lazy to fix my typos this time. Hope I made some sort of sense in the gibberish above, lol

That is true Halthor. In Oblivion, it was really hard to be bad. I mean even doing the Darkbrotherhood quests, it was almost "justice" in what you did. So you were still being good doing bad things.

In Skyrim there is no "good" or "bad". You just do it. I made a thread about Finding a Redguard Women, wich side you choose. You don't really know who is good or bad. So you really don't know what your actions are. If you want to be "evil" did you really do an evil deed or actually help someone else for good?

I am hoping that the DLC will be more clear cut in what your choices actually do.

Big font for emphasis.

YES! 100% agree. I want a choice to be good, bad...or somehwere in the middle, depending on how my character feels. It can't be that hard to do

"Why bother? They're just gonna rip it off, and leave you with nothing. Damn humans."

I don't think you were playing D & D before I was born.

. I am over 40. Sadly we don't have anymore good flight simulator games without being too arcadey now.

The only problem with Skyrim, is it's too real. We play video games and TES to get away. Morrowind was a Fantasy setting. Oblivion had this problem till Shivering Isle came out.

With the realism of Skyrim, we are not getting away from the real world. We even have Moose in the game. Thing is they are way to small, but still it's like a real world with real animals, no fantasy. Not much Khajit or Argonians. Morrowind had great wild animals to take us away. Skyrim remids us of the real world.

I really wish there was more colour, and fantasy in the game.

I know, every time I walk out my front door only to be confronted by an Ice Troll I just roll my eyes.

You're lucky, we've got Ice Wraiths, I hate having to chase those off my backporch...
