How can you possibly RP in Skyrim? : V - Skyrim

Imagination is key, the other games didn't allow for good RP without using imagination either, nor did they really have more dialogue choices, just more topics

One thing Oblivion and Morrowind got right though: NPCs should NOT say their unique line upon you brushing past, they should just say "Hello there" "What is it?" etc. (and preferably with more conditions like stare for 5 seconds within 3 feet of the NPC) and say their line upon being activated, that way they don't spam you and the lines aren't as irritating.

What it did get right is reducing the amount nobodies say. Random people on streets do NOT want to talk to you.

fact is even with imagination alot of the role playing elements are gone and skills are barely managable because the exploits are so easy a 5 year old could figure them out. Yeah I can RP anything I want if it is combat oriented mainly. smithing and enchanting I do not call skills and should have been side crafting instead and no spellcrafting. you can make potions but can no longer name them, another blow to the immersion. I was bored with the game after only 2 months. which is really sad for a TES game that is supposed to be an open ended sandbox world.

I agree with the sentiment that some seem to play just to pick apart what they do not like.But most of those start with "I have played 300 hrs and this is what they did wrong."

When you play a game for 100, 200 or 300 hours then the mind will natural see things that are wrong or don`t make sense. It`s completely right that people say if they notice these things unless they are completely oblivious to what they are doing. You can almost live Skyrim when you play that long as the brain begins to believe it.

If in real life things did not make sense to you would you not say?
