skyrim is boring after all(2)

my older topic closed because of Autocensor Bypass. I fixed it this time so you can reply to my post.

skyrim is boring after all. I mean leveling up is cool, magic is very good, crafting and all of those stuff. so you do these staff for what? no changes in the world. NOTHING. characters are boring, story is boring, voice acting is terrible. the world is beautiful but boring. I know skyrim is a messed up place because of war but why it is so boring? I dont care about "skyrim" anymore. I dont like to compare the older Elder Scrolls games to skyrim but when I look at them, I played oblivion over 400 hours because at least there was a good story behind it. a lot of things improved over oblivion but I dont care to do these stuff. I completed every single quest in oblivion but in skyrim I just completed the main storyline and guilds and daedric quests. the most boring quest I dont want to complete is companion. fighters guild in oblivion, you can see them in every city. mages guild in oblivion, you can see them in every city. but in skryim? hehehehe. bethesda you are a lier. there was nine cities in oblivion. they said there is going to be FIVE MASSIVE CITIES in skyrim. but they are just the same size of the oblivion cities. I'm pissed off behtesda, you better make a good DLC.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but to suggest Skyrim is boring is a little excessive don't you think?

Boring is a subjective term, but I totally agree with what you're getting at. Let's break it down:

Voice Acting: In and of itself it's very good, but the voices are so unique that it's VERY obvious when you keep running into the same voice actor for several different NPC's. Aside from this, the expense and time constraints related to voice acting is the exact reason that we have no dialogue options, no branching choices, no consequences. When intimidate / pursuade shows up (laughably) 3% of the time and I choose "intimidate," (i.e. I'll rip your head off if you don't do this...) the NPC will go on as if nothing had happened, and we're still pals. The dialogue is weak and unbelievable. Aside from all of these issues, the same lame one-liner shows up every time you walk near an NPC, my favorite example being "HI I WORK FOR BELATHOR IN BELATHOR'S SHOP!!"

Cities: I'm sorry, but 5 houses, a temple, and a tavern don't make a town-- especially when the guards obviously outnumber the residents. Thankfully, mods are fixing this issue slowly but surely (populating cities more heavily, and an outstanding audio mod is coming out that adds "city noises" both inside and outside houses.

The story: The main quest is bland and mediocre at best, most people agree on this. What is abysmal is the guild quests. First off, when you become guildmaster nobody recognizes it. After I became head of the thieve's guild (and completed arguably the most poorly written quest in video game history) the bartender of the guild still states "So, you're Brynjolf'd new whelp, eh?" Come ON! The guild story lines are even worse than the main quest. It's sad.

Quests: No variety to speak of. "Go get X and come back," or "Go kill Y and come back." It's the same thing over, and over, and over. Why couldn't we have interesting and diverse quests? For example, help fortify a town against a dragon attack-- positioning guards, scorpions, catapults, archers, and so on?

NPC's / AI: Abysmal. I won't even touch on their total lack of personality or depth, but they're incredibly stupid. Why don't they run into their houses when dragons attack? Why don't bandits set up ambushes on the road when there are obvious points of advantage? It's 2012, AI should be better than this.

Combat: Dual wield: Tap X. Magic: Hold X. Two handed: Tap X. It's boring. It doesn't look interesting. The only real improvement I see from even Morrowind is a kill cam. Big deal. KoA proves that an "open world" isn't an excuse for boring combat.

You actally prefer Oblivion to Skyrim? With the over-done level-scaling, copy and paste world and dungeons and potato-faced NPSs?

"Boring" is the most overused adjective in today's gamer lexicon; closely followed by "imbalanced".

Skyrim is a bit dull in places but so is my wife, I'm still with her after 20 years & i'm sure that i will be ploughing on with Skyrim for a long while yet.

All my mrs needs is a few mods, I wonder if Caliente can sort her out a body replacement.

So is "Hater", "Self entitlement" & " Copy pasted world"

Sort of :ermm:

lol although i do share some of your opinions OP, you really didn't have to make your own thread about how angry you are at Beth. In the end, Beth realizes they have some disgruntled fans, but also realize they made a product that sold very well.

Let's see here.

You opened one thread, with the same topic, and it got locked by CCNA (moderator). Now you've re-opened the same thread, with the same topic, and the only thing that's missing this time around is another CCNA lock.... and perhaps a litte something more?

I laughed and agree.

I like Skyrim, it's music and the Companion quest line.

It may be boring for the OP. I'm sure we've all played games that others rave about and we personally don't care for.

That being said, I think the OP could have just added their comments to one of the many previous "Skyrim svcks", "I'm bored with Skyrim" type threads rather than starting a new one.

A first good post.

I agree, there is a lot that can get improved and I am pretty sure Bethesda agrees with us. They are continuously working on the game to make it better and they have done so with each game. If it was perfect then they could just all go home.

It is however far from being boring. Perhaps some play it too often and should take a break. Everything can become boring when it is done excessively.
