Ah yes and just look at how many nice responses youve generated.

I did those things in oblivion but I find it hard to do those in skyrim.

what form of video game apparatus are you using? pc , xbox , or that sony thing..

Would you mind to explain more in details on why a certain quest line bores you, as well as different aspects that bores you?

May be this would allow fellow forum members to able to discuss more constructively with you.

I'm afraid I cannot help you there.

I don't know, I got my copy the day it came out and I'm still having a great time. Maybe you should try some different builds or just do some exploring.

i have a feeling hes playing on the microsoft thingy or the PS3.. PC users don't get bored..

I play on the PS3, not bored at all. Maybe he just doesn't understand the game. I remember the first time I played Oblivion (1st TES game I played) and I found it so confusing and that quickly turned into anger. But I persevered and now four years later it's one of my favorite games.

The first time i played Baldurs gate one confusion quickly turned into hatred when my party was getting decimated by poison little did i know slow poison was the solution...

yes. they ruined dark brotherhood. there is no black hand anymore. they ruined the fighters guild. they ruined the thieves guild. they ruined the mages guild. they ruined the fighers guild. there is no arena. they forgot about the story. the game is too easy even on master difficulty and so on.

I disagree with this.

First: the real change from Morrowind's combat to Skyrim's combat is the shift from character skill to player skill. This shift started with Oblivion which overhauled combat by giving us much more control (blocking was no longer chance-based, if your crosshair was over an enemy and you attacked it, yout hit will always land...). Skyrim combat system is a continuation of this philosophy; now we can, for instance, bash whenever we want. Also, bashing is quite a useful and game-enhancic mechanic because it interrupts incoming powerattacks, which is something we couldn't do in the past. The inclusion of bashing adds a new layer of strategy to combat.

About killcams, I don't believe they are an improvement. Enemies can pull one of those killcams on you even though you were blocking/you could have avoided the hit. Because of this, killcams remind me of morrowind's stat-based combat system. In my opinion, there should be a way to prevent NPCs, creatures to use them.

Second: about KOA...I played KOA a bit and its combat may be more 'fun' but only if you like the classical 3rd-person, combo-feast-based, type of combat. Not my cup of tea although I'd concede that enemy's reactions to getting hit were very good.

Now a bit more of personal opinion before finishing this post:
In my opinion TES suffers from trying to be both a 1st person and a 3rd person game. A good 3rd person combat game like dark souls or KOA requires dodging, counterattacking and flashy animations, which are very difficult to adapt to 1st person perspective. A good 1st person combat game like Dark Messiah or Dead Island requires a much more immersive camera and animations so that you feel 'you're there'. By trying to do both, Skyrim is only mediocre in both perspectives.

The only things that are inexcusable for me are the (inexistent) hit reactions and the fact that most weapons use the same animations (swings, swings, swings!)

I'm a pc user and I use mods.

avoid a killing hit is crap! everyone dies... if a kill cam happens its like seeing your death for a slo mo perspective... i blocked a power attack and still died... i was shot by an arrow and died... someone hit me with an axe and i died.. but if they dare put it in slow mo it must be wrong! because that calculated hit would of killed me but im going to blame slow mo..

then you aren't play correctly i have no idea how you can be bored... take a break mass effect 3 came out and its fun.. or start making mods thats fun too.

double post..

yep going to buy mass effect 3.

I was at the midnight release for it.. played it at 1:20 am after having a useless conversation with EA help support then ended in me getting so coupon that i cant use untill i purchase a game... mass effect 3 is fun!! best yet it has the most epic cut scenes ever... well at least since C&C tiberian suns..

Same kinds of complaints that I heard about Morrowind and Oblivion when they came out. *yawn* ;^)

Peace, +Petrose

Yea..

Peace, +Geckopiss duuuur

DB quest line was pretty good although I give Oblivion a slight edge.
I like the darker Thieves Guild much more than the Gray Fox in Oblivion. Still not done with the quest line but enjoying it so far.
Mages guild was sad. Way too short.
Have not done companions so I cannot comment, but reviews to date have not been good.
Have not done the MQ so can't comment on it.

Combat is much improved, and made even more so by mods.

There should not be an arena. The arena was Imperial and belonged in Cyrodil, not Skyrim. There aren't many coliseums in Norway

I have been playing since it came out and I'm still enjoying it a couple hundred hours later. I play slow, take my time, travel, enjoy the scenery, etc. If history proves to be correct, we're not going to see TES 6 until some time around 2016, so no need to rush.

The answer if Skyrim was boring or not resides in the number of hours you've played the game.

after reading the op's post... i'm thats your OPINION and well who cares? ... 85% enjoy skyrim, 10% think skyrim is the best thing since Skyrim was announced, 3% think skyrim is call of duty with swords...2% think skyrim svcks because morrwind was so much better you know with crap combat systems and clunky movement.. boring citys.. oh and spell sliders...

All KOA proved is if you make combat totally cartoon like some people find that thrilling.

Indeed! I never could enjoy KOA, and I really really tried.

It proved that you can have a totally open world and still have enemies (and your character) react to being struck in combat. The combat looks good, your personal taste on the art style of their graphics is totally irrelevant. Skyrim's combat looks bland, and enemies do not react to being struck (unless you count the power attack stagger).


These statistics look legit...

okay Morrwind's combat svckED... KoA had the worst combat in an rpg game since Morrwind...


I hope your joking those "statistics" were pulled out of my ass..
