I don't think even the Thalmor can be as elitist as some gamers.

It's not redundant, it's a sign that you respect the fact that others have different perspectives. Sometimes that's what is needed to keep a civil conversation from turning into a flame war, in my opinion.

Exploring is what keeps me in this game and being a mage. Factions are pretty bad and so are the quests but mage line seems to be better.

That's hardly an opinion. Who can deny that most quests in this game are bland? NPCs are bland and have no personality, there are no consequences for your actions, there is hardly any point to joining a faction, and of course the combat is bad.

Maybe you have given up on discovery and making your own way in life...

Skyrim offers discovery, experimentation.. and developing your own way.....

BF3 is blow them away with more ammo, bigger guns, more armor.. etc.... Instant gratification...

Maybe you have outgrown discovery, learning, experimentation and patience. It happens.... play what you enjoy!.. Life is short and fleeting. RIP!

I'm entertained. It's my own very own medieval assh*le simulator. Just the toy every kid needs.

Hold the phone! The combat in this game is eons better than previous Elder Scrolls game, yeah maybe the magic is less, but seriously the combat in this game puts oblivion and morrowind to shame. Their combat systems were just clunky and plain -bad- in comparison.

Are you seriously saying that everyone should put "in my opinion" behind every message they post on a forum?

Yeah, no, that's pretty much the definition of redundant.

Actually, it is redundant. When you say something that isn't a fact, it's obviously implied that it's your opinion. No need to be spineless. Honestly, people shouldn't allow themselves to be offended so easily. Sheesh.

Yes better than previous ES games, but still bad, despite all the pre-released hype that surrounded it. Especially since in previous ES games we had spellmaking. Ya' know. Spellmaking.

Well if you look at Morgue's recent posts it's only stated ONCE in there that a post was of there "Opinion" so looks like they aren't following there own rules.....


Agreed, couple that with the bad quests and stupidly simplistic radiant quests and it's almost MMO grinding.

Thats what I just said, the magic is a bit lacking, but other than that, the combat is MUCH better, if the combat in this game is bad, the combat in oblivion and morrowind was so bad it would have made people's eyes bleed.

The combat is the other games were bad, but they made up for them in other ways, like actually having interesting quests and other RPG elements. Skyrim is a great action-adventure, but not a very good RPG.

This guy gets it.

If it was just a great action adventure, it'd still svck me in (I still think it's an RPG though).

There are plenty of action adventure titles that I wish didn't end so early. This, one, if you want to call it that, doesn't.

These kind of replies are kind of the point I was making. There's no need to be hostile or insulting to get your point across. If you don't agree, you can say so and state why. It's hard to separate the emotion from the actual substance of the post, and sometimes a really good point is lost because the person making it resorts to pettiness. Honestly, there's no need for it. And no, I'm not perfect, and I've never said I was- I don't always qualify my statements but if you truly want to sample my posting history you will see I do make a serious effort to do so. I come here for active, involved discussion and I try to make my point without making other people feel as if theirs are invalid.

That's funny. I have about the same amount of time in and all I've used is magic. Guess we both have a lot left to do.

In OB and MW the meat and potatoes of the game were meaty enough that the games smaller flaws were in the background.
Skyrim is so minimilast in some of the main aspects that the extras that would normally be applauded for being in at all get criticised because they can't prop up the cardboard characters and Daggerfall quests.

I have zero problems with the quests in this game, compared to NV and Oblivion, I find the quests in his game fine. But they will make the next ES and people will still whine even if the quests are better and the combat is better.

Blame the ridiculous data size for this game, for 3.7 gigs (on 360) They couldnt do much more, a big mistake in my opinion, but for 3.7 gigs, I think they did a great job. THEY SHOULD have made it 8 gigs like most of the games now a days, but I dunno what made them make it so small.

Constructive criticism is always met with hostility, and I don't see why? The game isn't perfect, and people discussing how it could be improved seems to scandalise half the forum.

So pointing out that you pick on someone for one thing and you in turn only used it for the time you pick on him is not hostile and insulting? Really if you would have left it along and taken it as the givin that is understood whe npeople make posts no one would have payed anything any mind. So I'd say from said post you made your the "provoker" in this case.

Yeah, the 360 does put constraints on it. If it was PS3/Blu-Ray or PC, it'd be a lot beefier. But yeah, I don't have too many complaints for what it is either.

edit: I mean, if Blu-Ray/PC storage capacity was developed as the first thing in mind.

Constructive criticism is fine, but nit picking at EVERY little thing is different. As I said, look at the data size before saying -anything-

If they used text speech (I know this won't happen) They could add more content.

If you're satisfied with the underwhelming quests in this game, fine. I'm happy for you. I'm not satisfied however, it seems like Bethesda just decided to be lazy thanks to their new "RadiAuant QAuests Systrem". Seriously, they don't even have a quest journal anymore, just a quest log. It's sad.
