It's ridiculous. Skyrim deserved to win! There hasn't been a game as good as Skyrim since... since...

Well, since Fallout: New Vegas. Still, Skyrim is awesome and the BAFTA's are not.

And I still don't know what people who don't like Skyrim do in the Skyrim General board. Seriously, who is in this forum? People who play Skyrim, obviously. And you're here to tell us that you don't play Skyrim anymore. That's great for you, I guess, but what's the message behind it? If you want to improve things, that's totally ok, but if you hate it anyway, why botter beeing here?

A lot of people tell me jogging is stupid and they don't enjoy it, but I do, so what's the point of telling me that?

What's the use of posting a link to a place that gave no awards to Skyrim on a Skyrim board filled with Skyrim fans? It's not like you're going to get any real discussion out of it because most people are gonna be like "oh well they svck, Skyrim doesn't need awards to be the best game ever!"

There's no discussion there.

That's funny.. hopefully they hit the dead end. So we can stop hearing about all the awards they keep winning (coughtwittercough)...

Love how MW3 and Uncharted got nothing as well. Made me feel so good inside.. and

"EA and DICE's Battlefield 3 won the public vote, taking home the GAME Award of 2011. It also won BAFTAs for Online Multiplayer and Audio Achievement."

Hells yeah.. kinda makes me glad in some senses. But alas they (somehow) didn't get Best Shooter > MW 2.5.. I mean MW3. I smell a scam..

Well, there could be a discussion why Skyrim did not won any award or what competitors, which aren't really there in the BAFTA awards as it seems, are doing better.

But it's just senseless if someone keeps posting "Skyrim's sh*t" in these forums, as it's also stupid just saying "BAFTA is dumb" in this thread.

All i know and care for is that SKyrim continues to impress and is a great game.

Well... they did make World of WarCraft... so there's that.

Look in the brightside, guys. Atleast CoD, didn't win an award above BF3 in England. Atleast they see a good game when they see it.

Yep, instead of MW 2.5 the fabulous BF BC 2.5 won, yay for that.
And it still got Punkbuster, the best AC tool after VAC.

Skyrim gives you a sandbox and a shovel, then leaves you to your own devices. What you do with that shovel and sand is entirely up to you. My evil character doesn't even do any quests; he makes up his own. Of course, if you have no imagination and expect the game to be spoon-fed to you like the vast majority of games these days, you will be disappointed. Your small list of complaints tells me that this is exactly the case (other than repetitive dungeons, which I and even most haters will disagree with).

I'm not of the opinion that a fan should bash and praise the magazines/websites/awards depending on how many awards they give to our favourite game. The inherent value of the game is not the same for every individual and I can accept that, I can still love Skyrim despite missed awards and I can still see its flaws despite the high scores and laudative reviews. I still read IGN with interest after their effort to push things into Dark Souls/Skyrim antithesis and I still appreciated the same IGN when they reviewed Oblivion and gave it huge scores despite its major flaws. I am above these artificial indicators, I like to read reviews and watch awards solely for the pleasure of reading/watching.

That's OK , I seriously don't understand how you can be bored with all the interesting things to do the the interesting world amd characters. I frankly won't post specefics because if I say I find a quest or NPC intersting I'll get jumped with "no they aren't/ it isn't . its shallow and boring. Frankly Morrowind itself doesn't for me live up the the standards people seem to want here. The only games I can think of that come close are Knights of the Old republic and Vampire Bloodlines but they both fail the non linear test if Skyrim itself is too linear.

I think you're overreacting a bit now, lol.

I'm not a hard and fast gamer but have followed TES for many years. Bought an XBOX this year and along with it Arkham City. Nearly took the whole damn thing back, couldn't get into it at all, XBOX and the game. Swooping down and the giving it Ugh, Aah with enemies that look like an arcade game turned me right off. Beautiful graphics yes but jerky movements and no intelligence killed it for me.

Saw a re-run of the BAFTAS last night. [censored] all of them. Skyrim is the Game of the Year in all categories. Politics again, who knows what goes on behind the scenes. How they can honestly promote some of the Mario and kids games with best graphics etc. is an insult to the Bethesda team.

One thing, saw their Skyrim clips, seen the screenshots in the strat guide and seen my XBOX graphics and all three seem to show it as a different game. Big differences in contrast, rendering, colour and clarity between the three, I wonder why.

Anybody think that the BAFTA clips looked a bit washed out ?

yeah I don't give a damn about 'official' awards, all that matters is how I feel the game when I play.

Not at all. Melee & weapons users get smithing and passive damage boosts and weapons scales and potions to increase damage and to improve the damage output of the weapon itself, spell users can't get passive damage boosts, can't get spells that scale in damage, can't get to improve spells damage on their own [no spellmaking].

The difference in weapons use and magic use is so lopsided they don't really belong in the same game.

Well, they do belong in the same game. Yes, you can get more damge with melee but that doesn't mean Destruction/magic is weak in this game.

Magic's normally the DPS machine in RPGs. Melees are better at low levels and later on you regret you didn't pick a caster when every pointy hat kills you instantly with his Great Apocalypse of Doom spell. It's kind of refreshing that now the melees are the wickedly overpowered pricks.

Funny how when Skyrim doesn't win, game awards 'mean nothing'. It's not the best game in the world. Get your heads out of your asses.

Let's do a title search of "Destruction" on Skyrim General Board.

...that's some from two of five pages.


Magic... especially Destruction, is weak in this game.


It is so bad that it turns a 9/10 or 8/10 game into a 7/10 or 6/10 game for heavy magic users.

Well, I leveled my Alteration and Restoration first so my "combat" skill (Destruction) would get behind the enemies level. I have no problems with it and it does not come across weak. And that's on master as well. Destruction provides good damage and the times I have trouble is when I'm outnumbered. And if you do get outnumbered, well, that's what you have Conjuration for.

Personally I do not see the big deal. So my favorite game didn't win. It got nominated to 5 categories which is very good, it has very good sales and one can easily drop hundreds of hours into it.

Skyrim is not the best in action, story, graphics, family, strategy, sound or most of the categories in the first place.

I don't tend to watch Award's show's of any kind, Though the new's the next day is alway's full of who won what. I listen to what some of my friends/co-worker's say about them. Sometime's I will agree, sometimes I don't.

Same with video game awards, I don't watch them, I don't go to the websites that have them. But I DO listen/read what is posted here about both Skyrim and other game's. I've bought my husband game's based on what other's have said about them, and NOT bought him game' based on what was said. Oh and the not bought, that's not alway's based off bad reviews.

That's the gist right their, I listen/read what other ppl say and my opinion's about movies, games, music etc... come from what I think of them,what ppl I know think of them, not what an award show say's.

I can honestly say that I would not have picked LA: Noire for best music. Of the game's both my husband and I play I would have picked Skyrim. Now that's not saying that a game that came out last year didn't have better music, just that I didn't play that game.

I won't say that any other game didn't deserve their award as I didn't play most of them, so I don't have an informed opinion. They were/are not my kinda game.

So people who have played this game, love the franchise or both but are no longer playing have no place here? I think you need help. I love this franchise and played it's previous installments, I have every right to be here.

Answer my question or don't respond to my reply. I have no use for people telling me where I don't belong or those that give me irrelevant crap as a reply.
