People complaining about complainers complaining.

I just want the negative people off the forums. A lot of people come here to talk positively about a great game and bounce ideas off everyone. This is something productive. Saying things like, I wish you could kill everyone in the game. I totally don't understand why." or "Why does Bethesda hate women?" Please. You are probably one of them. Bah.

Beths mental retardation Ai path finding system, or crap Ai for short.

Heres a few examples of this annoying Ai with epic stupidity at work.

Enemy bandit is on the other side of a huge waterfall cliff, to get to me he could of run across a near by bridge...the guy runs off the cliff and dies, his mates decide to do the same thing and follow suit.

I can stand on a rock above some melee bandits, wolves, or giants and start to fire arrows into them, they stand there looking at me like idiots doing nothing and sometimes will run away and for cover, I jump back down they return, I rinse and repeat, they die from [censored] syndrome.

This same tactic can be done in the water, they will not enter the water.

Bethesda fix the [censored] Ai path finding as I can only laugh so much it is starting to hurt.

As Fargo said, Winterhold. I tried becoming Thane there once, but then I realized that there were only two favors you could do for people! Idk who else I can help. So yeah... eff you Winterhold.

Also, the length of the guild questlines. I loved how the stories were told, but in a week you go from new blood to the guildmaster.

A: I'm not
B: The majority of complaints aren't blown out of proportion or unreasonable unlike the examples you brought up, except for the why can't I kill everyone. If you don't like the complaining don't open threads with complaints in the title. If complaining bothers you so much you can't even ignore it, well....

He'll just get flamed. But not from people who agree with him. Despite the crapstorm I had unintentially brought here, I find your posts and -very- few other posters on her to be intelligent and not a childish judgmental [censored] who secretly practices polygamy and wishes to practice bigamy.

That things that you do, do not change the world enough

If i win the civil war for either side, the entire landscape both geographical and political should make the game world unrecognizable

If i beat the main the game should change dramatically

The game just doesnt react well enough to actions

Speaking of the blades and their jerkyness "You-Must-Kill-Parthunax" You can actually complete their quests and get dragonrend/blades armor before you bring the elder scroll to the throat of the world. In other words you can get the perk and bring some follows that annoy you to join the blades so you never hear from them again. But the moment you bring the scroll to the time wound that's when Esbern and Delphine tell you to go kill parthunax.

seems like oblivions quests were much much longer.... you had to put hours of work into those questlines, and so when you rose through the ranks and eventually became the guildmaster it was an immensely rewarding experience..

i have one character who's never casted a single spell in 120 hours, became the Arch-mage in 3 hours.... the same could happen in oblivion, but the story-line and length made this acceptable.

all my new characters do companions quest line as if it was a meager side-quest, just for the free training and skyforge..

that would be my most annoying thing, the questlines just arent satisfying in the end and my gameplay suffers for it.
4 epic questlines are more important and more rewarding then 4000 radiant and small side quests..

Plenty that should bother me, but I actually don't mind. No defense of Beth, but for me a bit of make believe role play gets around it. Yes, it's doing their job for them, but what can I say? If I'm not bothered, I'm not bothered. Which leaves one thing, bandits being harder to kill than Elder Dragons and Deathlords. Maybe it's my weird build.

Ah, one more thing. Mounted combat. I can understand not being able to concentrate enough to cast spells on the back of a horse, but swinging a sword at a wolf?

I'm not sure Bethesda has ever done the whole "actions have consequences" mechanic. It's just not their schtick unfortunately. They're really bad at even hiding the fact that their NPCs are mindless automatons though, which is quite frankly the most annoying thing about Skyrim.

Just a "OMFG what is the ARCH MAGE of the College doing in Whiterun?!" Would have sufficed I think. Baby steps. :)

My complaint is one that should really get rectified: companions and spouses. We need more dialogue and commands. I married my housecarl or whatever she is called. I can trade with her as my housecarl but not as my spouse. Shouldn't spouse take precedence? Why can't I trade with my wife? Why can't I choose what she wears? Why can't I get her to go to bed to give me the "lover's comfort" buff? What is the point of marriage if there is no way to get her to go to bed to get that buff because her annoying one line of dialogue is not worth the home-cooked meal. She draws her sword when I do. She goes into sneak mode when I do. Is it too much to ask for her to sleep when I do?

Im confused.. im not sure what you play on but on xbox you just hold down lb to sprint and when its let go you move as normal.. its not hard to figure out.
I'm playing the game with PC and I'm not talking about the sprinting. There are walking, running and sprinting in the game and you can sprint only when running is on. As usual in TES games you can switch between walking and running by pressing Caps Lock once. (Holding sift does the same thing.) The problem is that when you open any kind of menu it may switch between walking and running and you don't know about it before you notice that you are too slow.

The amount of essential NPCs, most of the quests being uninteresting, and the shortness of the faction's questlines.

jump height. c'mon beth, atleast give us the option to boost it a little (via potions and such).

oh, and the numerous bugs and such, they're annoying too.

not to say it isn't a great game, of course!

The most annoying thing in Skyrim for me is the crappy lore excuse to wiping Winterhold city from the face of nirn.
It was one of the cities I was looking forward to, especially due to it being a port for the north sea.
For me that would have been Bruma, Windhelm, Anvil and Vivec into a grandeur of sights. Instead I get hogsmeade and hogwarts.

Lame dialogue, bad voice acting, lack of consequential moral choices or dialgue choices that allow you to shape a personality.

This.

So tired of going to Dragonsreach and having the Wizard repeat the same "have you come to talk of hostilities..."

And I'm tired of walking into the Ragged Flagon, while being the Dark Brotherhood leader and a high member in the Thieves' Guild, and having them still treat me like I just joined.
