Why I Don't Like Skyrim

Post » Sat Jun 16, 2012 11:18 am

Don't get me wrong it's a good game, but I have to many problems with it.

#1 The Spells (lack Of!) Why oh God why did they remove reflect/absorb spell reflect/absorb damage and chameleon? they where the BEST I loved oblivion for those spells.

yeah they make you Over powered, but so what, I'm still over-powered now.. with my god armour which is a lot less fun when you don't get to see the enemies effectively taking damage off themselves.

#2 Spell Making, yeah yeah over-powered... unfortunately this was my favourite feature in oblivion, that and enchanting my armour. ironically I never got to make a spell that was over-powered (stupid magika was always too low)

#3 Children... well I would have really liked to see what the different races (orc, argonian, khajiit) children looked like, and the lack of such children in the game makes me question breeding methods.

#4 Un-killable NPC's, I cant stand them! If I want to kill someone they should [censored] stay dead, (since I helped the imperials, when I came across a stormcloak camp, the leader attacked me and followed me for-goddam-ever) Let me suffer the consequences of my actions.

#5 DRAGONS! why so many? why? I used to love dragons, now I'm sick of seeing them, and why are they more common than skeever? (even after the main quest)

To tired to continue rant so this will do for now

Well you're entitled to opinions, but posting a topic that's just a rant is pointless. Nobody on this forum will agree with you, and NONE of it is open to discussion, the way you worded it. Personally, I don't agree with any of it- or at least, not to the extent you do. This shouldn't bother you THAT much, and there are a lot of things that are good about the game. Maybe you should focus more on good points of the game and it'll give you more enjoyment.

1. Magic is the most developed and in-depth combat mechanic of this whole damn game. Rangers have crossbows and bows, Warriors have about 7 different fighting weapons ALL OF WHICH svck BECAUSE THEY JUST BLOCK ALL OF YOUR ATTACKS. Stop crying, magic could have more but it really doesn't need it yet.

2. I wouldn't mind if they added this back, it was new and cool. Yet again though, not a priority

3. What's the point of children? Unless you feel like paying money for their upkeep, they really would serve no purpose.

4. If they allowed you to kill whoever you pleased, the game would just end.

5. Dragons have returned to Skyrim, not Dragons are slowly becoming extinct again. I would much rather have difficult monsters come at me than dispatching skeever with one blow.

Magics pretty nerfed and uninteresting compared to everything else imo.

and I'm the Archmage.

If you hate it so much, why do you have so many posts in these forums? Trade it in, move on and stop being an eyesore.

All those things you named are petty problems too (atleast to me), nothing to stop you from playing, or really cause any large amount of bother.

Magic is still far behind with all the spells that have been cut and the loss of spell creation there is no logical reason for magic being wo gutted from what it used to be. Series should improve and add to existing features and mechanics not remove then entirely.

It's still the most useful. Pretty much always have a chance to hit your enemy (It's hard to block lightning lol). Despite its nerf I still find it to be the most content wise. If anything Melee needs a revamp, I hate not being able to tactically attack anything as they always just block and then attack you when you're power attacking.

Rather than the usual obnoxious "stop whining/crying/whatever" pointless meme strewn timewasting replies i do agree with most of the points you raised but not the manner in which you raised them, These have been discussed individually many times on this forum but the way you lumped all of them into one thread will only result in handfuls of turds being thrown at you, People are quite defensive around these parts & will point their pitchforks in your direction whether or not any of the points are valid.

Word of advice, Engage in the many topics & try to constructively raise your points rather than lump them all into one thread, You will get torn to pieces.
