EVERYTHING is repetitive. I get so tired of breathing because all it ever is, is "breathe in, breathe out". How boring. The same even applies to six. It's a one way in, one way out activity, no matter how you try to dress it up.

Same goes for every thing--EVER. Monopoly: all you do is roll dice and buy stuff you land on; or pay someone else for landing on their space. How repetitive. The same with... bah. Any numbskull gets the point.

Boil something down to its most basic nature and it's really just X and not a lot more. Welcome to life.

the people how do it either go through tons of characters or "LARP" there characters. I personally find doing that pretty pointless since the game world doesn't care if you pretend that your character goes to the bathroom everyday or has to eat 3 meals a day or what not.

Ok,you've match the point; we can all stop moaning and whining now or suicide ourselves on the basis of your philosophy

Perhaps someone is too demanding about a simple videogame.

Pretend to play it for hundreds/thousands of hours with the same excitement of the first days is simply madness.

I pretty much agree with what you've said as far as the games flaws go. It was inevitable that this game was going to get overhyped, but there's still a lot of redeemable stuff in it.

I have spent a lot more time on Skyrim than you have (not 500 hours or anything), mostly because I was obsessed with leveling up a mage character, and I rarely used fast travel. If you've played Morrowind and loved that so much, I think you would have liked the game more if you traveled on foot most of the time (I'm assuming you did tons of fast traveling because of 72 hours). For me, the best part of the game was the scenery and all of the animals in the wilderness and stuff.

The quests, though, were mostly disappointments :/ they were not as engaging as I thought they were going to be. Most of the questlines (outside MQ) seemed way too short, and they ended abruptly with the player getting declared leader of the guild or college or w/e and it just wasn't satisfying to me at all. I just felt like all of the quests needed to be longer and more involved, and the people that you interact with needed to be deeper too.

Overall, the gameplay as far as combat goes and the graphics obviously are vastly improved, and I loved the world design, but it needs a good dose of MW to make me want to spend 100+ hours on it. Like you said, Skyrim just lacks depth.

repetitive dungeons? if caves count you obviously haven't been to Eldergleam Sanctuary oh and to stop boredom (which i will never experience) i RP and set my self a daily challenge still cant find my second one (find dwemer ruins)

What is this fascination with player houses? The game already has plenty, and if you're on PC you can have dozens more. Go play monopoly if you're that obsessed with real estate . Seriously, I'm amazed that there are so few players asking for more skills (that includes spell schools), which IMO is one of the best ways to improve the game as well as increase replayability.

edit: meh, wrong thread. Easy mistake to make when every other thread is virtually the same .

Right. If i wanted to play make-beleive i would have saved my money and talked to a wall. It reacts as much as the game does

We get it, you don't want to RP. You prefer to rush through the content that is there with as few characters as possible. You think it's stupid to play with "sock puppet" characters and make up stories for them. Now, go sit and wait quietly and patiently in the corner for DLC like all the others

A lot of bitterness over a game that doesn't play like some people want it to.
Most of us, when we find something we don't care for, move on to something that better works for us.
Others, apparently, feel the need to let us all know just exactly how their feelings got hurt by Bethesda's design decision.

Maybe I should head on over to WoW's forums and tell them how much their game svcks just because I don't like it. Never mind the several million that apparently do...because they all svck too...and apparently don't know what makes a good game.

Oh well.

It's not my philosophy, it's a summary of the OP's sentiments when they're deconstructed. And of course it's not as exciting on the 4th play-through as it is the first; but that's also a point I wanted to make as well. Nothing is as great the 1,000th time you do it as it was in the beginning, and to expect it to be is pathetically unrealistic.To have this thing broken down into "it's repetitive and therefore svcks" is silly. And... as compared to what? What game is completely new every time you play it?

And if someone wants to do RP stuff like have their character eat and drink, then fine. I wouldn't do it. I see no point; but so what? Why should anyone else care how another plays the game?

Probably you've misunderstood my irony.

If you read some of my previous comments you will figure out that we have a similar idea of the whole thing and that we are saying the same concept -even if in a different manner

The second part of my post that you've quoted was referred to the Op and/or others here with hundreds/thousands hrs played and still "disappointed" by the game of course.

The game is rated 18+ in other countries..i had no idea..how did that happen?

Funny, just looked at my copy of Skyrim and the BBFC sticker is white with red writing with 15 on it, rather than red with white writing and an 18.

That was meant for the bit you quoted, not your comment.

Different countries have their own censorship that deals with film and game certification and the age ratings can vary wildly. I've seen films rated 12 over here, but 18 in somewhere like Czech Republic.

My only guess would be the fact that some of the NPC talk about being gangraqed, and if you read some of the books there is talk of necrophilia. Plus, I mean c'mon, you can cut peoples head off and the game is pretty much a bloodbath.

Even the poor Cicero have necrophile tendencies if you listen with attention to some of his lines

".need to get Mother some flowers...pretty, pretty flowers..."
"Need to oil Mother soon. Get all hard-to-reach places."

I mean,its clear enough i think the two way metaphor

I believe in Uk it's rated 15+ and in germany it's 16+..i dont know but a flying head here and there doesn't make the game advlt content or cruel in my opinion..you can see more flying limbs and heads in todays movies rated 16 or less.I think it's the way it is presented,the context and the enviorment/setting the game takes place.

I it's red with a white 18 on my copy. I'm not kidding!

My copy of CoD4 is rated 16+.

Ridicolous!

(and off-topic. sorry)

I think the game becomes repetive depending on your playstyle....my next character will be a normal guy...maybe a hunter...with sword and bow...and i will just go and do stuff i want to do...no main quest or guild quests.If you play to reach level 50 and maximize effectivness of your weapon/magic...the game is going to be repetive and boring very fast...that happend to me..no i take everything slow...I just do what like and seems fun to me.Explore and experiment within the game...thats what it was made for in my opinion.

If you find the right character then Skyirm won't be repetitive, other then that then yes it will get old after a while.

Thank you for all the replies, I think however that many of you have mistaken me (OP) to some of the other posters in the thread.

I'am now confident in my reasoning, now that several older (and other) members have agreed to many of my thoughts. I may now leave Skyrim in peace and travel back to my beloved Morrowind, or why not Cyrodiil? Even that was more of a experience than this. Proof of my theory strikes down yet again, I'am a 1% with unique thoughts and will, and 99% are the other stupid mainstream people who only walk by the presence of propaganda, words from others and media.

And for all that you were just like those "stupid mainstream people" who "couldn't wait for Skyrim when it was announced" and "preordered my collectors edition very early".


I only got Skyrim about a month ago due to a growing interest in the game, never came across the memes and parodies until after I started playing, do not find it repetitive and after almost 200 hours with it I am still having a blast.

Your argument is invalid.

Eh....I had this really nice, but long, response to this post.
Then I realized it wasn't worth it.

Dude came here to find some approval so he could move on in peace. Pretty sad.

But hey....at least he can now move on.

This is a bit harsh, but yes, there are plenty of people out there who like things just because "HERP DERP IT GOT GAME OF THE YEAR HURRR."

I too am going back to Vvardenfell soon, however. Me and Skyrim had a good run, but for now I'm putting it down until DLC and some expansive mods come out.

As much as I've tried to resist this, I have to give in.

kthnxbai

phew, now that's out of my system I can say something a little more meaningful.

It's a little presumptuous to think that you are included in the 1% of free-thinking people in this world. Anyone can pull stats out of the air, 79.308% of all people make a habit of it. Why do people feel the need to make a speech when they leave a game? Just take it out of the machine, put a new one in and stop posting. I doubt anyone will notice you're gone, given the amount of unique members that are on daily. Who cares what TES you prefer? Just go play it and don't look back, it's not hard to do.

Rather, I think people like games that got GOTY, because games that recieve GOTY are fun.
