Nope. 360

I don't see a problem with it, to be honest i hope they add something like this in the game *even though there are ways to respec your console save file using your PC*

If you don't like it? Don't use it, it doesn't effect you then. Have some self control.

P.S: This is already in the game for the PC, why not consoles? By using Modio and the PC version you can respec your console save file. The argument is quite flawed.

I had a kind fellow do this for me on just two perks. I wanted to reassign two perks.

And in the process, I destroyed the RPG genre.

Nope, I have no problems with that. Diablo 2 introduced it in a patch and I never used it. I'm talking about Diablo 3's "improved" version of respecing that basically made each class using it as a normal feature and is sometimes used several times per session, thus making it completely unneeded to ever make more than one character from a single class.


What the heck does that have to do with anything?

Well it's not really "in the game" but it's highly easy.

The game forces you to respec to progress along?

Not only that, i was the same at first with the whole 'start a new game' argument, but honestly? This game has little replay value. Restarting 3 times is about the max before it starts to become very veeery dull. Once you have explored everything, there is no point in restarting again.


How so? And even then, it's your experience, not mine and not others who wish to respec.

I play on 360 and i have no use for a re-spec tome or ability or whatever if you want to try something start a new game if not then thats to bad deal with it.

Exactly, you have no use, but others do.

This isnt an MMO, this is a single player RPG, someone else respecing will not harm your game.

Exactly, it's my experience. I wanted to reassign two perks I accidentally fumbled. You see? It's not the apocalypse of the RPG genre so many who apparently lack self control would have you believe.

obviously we know this...but we don't understand why you would want to just KILL the replay value of the game by doing every single thing with one character

Whether it hurts my experience or not a re-spec option defeats the purpose of the game.

More or less, especially if you want to progress through all the difficulties.

When then Blizzard is just fail.

Yes, because inside of that gaming world you are choosing to become a person where magic, dragons, etc, are reality. However, instantly unlearning a skill and then applying it somewhere else is not a welcomed "feature" for many who role play inside whatever alternate reality has been created for them.


I play on the PC and I don't want the ability to change my mind on perks. Yes, I realize you will say, "you already can via the console". Well, I never thought of it, but I still have no interest in it. The console, as far as I am concerned, is there to help you out of bugs and for testing mods, etc. I don't use it to 'cheat'. It's not like changing perk selection is a feature on the PC version, there is no menu, there are no instructions, there is just a way (i'm taking everyones word on this) to do it using the console.

I doubt very seriously that the people who play on PC and are against this feature are using the console to change their perks. I would imagine they are fundamentally against the feature. If they are changing perks and then saying they don't want consoles to have the option, then they are hypocritical turd muffins.

It's not a feature of the game its a tool of the PC.

The number of people wanting this feature disturbs me.
I thought Skyrim players (especially on the 'forums) care about choices&consequences and character progression.

Whenever perk reallocation gets implemented in a TES game, should probably indicate to me that Bethesda caters for a different audience now, and I should move on to other games.

I love people that react like you.

It's hilarious.

Most companies are, I generally thing games used to be more fun and interesting, few exceptions aside. Just my opinion though.

Glad to delight you.

They already are catering to a different audience and have since OB. The question is, when are they going to abandon too many RPG elements that many of the RPG fans say, "enough is enough", and leave the series behind.

I agree, I don't think a respec option would make any sense in skyrim. However, I do believe bethesda had a good idea with dawnguard. Instead of leveling up as a whole to put perks into something, give the player perks for using the skill a lot. (Vampire and Werewolf skill trees)

Welp, unfortunately it's already a given that Bethesda caters to a different audience. Not sure why it disturbs you though, it's been common knowledge for a while now. If the casuals whine loud enough they could probably get perk reallocation and a litany of other silly features that further degrade what few RPG qualities there are in Skyrim.

True.
But IMO allowing something like this is like openly admitting that character progression doesn't matter in their game now.

Ok, I want a serious answer. How will implementing this feature ruin YOUR game? There are people that want to RESPEC to play only one character. There are those that want many characters. But at the end of the day, is my level 81 mage-warrior-assasin really screwing around with your 81 plain old mage?

The answer is NO. Nothing I do in my game affects you. Anything added in the game is optional to do. We aren't talking about adding in a gamebreaking quest that has negative consequences. We are talking about implementing a way to reallocate perks. No way, no how does this "ruin" the RPG genre. Things change, things evolve. If you don't want to use it, you know what happens to your character? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

And this is what I don't understand why people are so furious over this suggestion. This suggestion is the equivelent of asking for more neutral chickens. It doesn't affect you if you choose to ignore it. And ignoring it won't affect you either.
