i started to get a bit bored, ive made about 7 different types of chars so far, so ive had trouble finding something new to try, but ive now started a pure werewolf char, its been very fun so far and im now back to enjoying the game to its fullest. try makeing a new char that is defferent from the norm.

This, fundamentally.
All RP stuff aside for a moment - (rare for me) - I'm not gonna just repeat what Jrago said, but at the risk of getting my post wiped again:
You're more than welcome to post what IN YOUR OPINION is a good way to play the game, sure there may even be aspects of what you say that people will find useful BUT you need to learn the difference between offering some useful ideas and presuming that what you have to say is the one and only way of doing something.
You're not talking about a linear game here, you're talking about a sandbox with many different ways of experiencing it. Your way of doing is not mine, or Pseron's, or Jrago's or perhaps anyone else's it's just a way - that's all. Sorry but you have not discovered the holy grail of "doing Skyrim", you've just thrown another ingredient into the pot.
Also:
Getting snippy when people disagree with you is just not going to earn you a lot of respect, especially when the perception is that you are perhaps trying in some sense to browbeat folk round to your way of doing things.
Some of what you posted earlier in response to what people said was - well perhaps you might want to think about how you respond, next time...

I like to horde all that crap. I like to have a stack of ingredients that I can tap at any given time. I like how I play.

Bingo.

If you're not having fun playing Skyrim, don't play it. From what I hear, there are other video games on the market besides Skyrim.

Half of the players: "It's too much like the last one!"
Other half of the players: "It's not enough like the last one!"

And us 1% that never even heard of Bethesda, TeS, or Skyrim before now. And find it just simply amazing. And frustrating due to the (PS3) glitch-i-ness.

Entirely true, m'loves. Entirely true. Many of us have been here since the beginning. But even more have not. There is no "one true way" (to quote my favorite author of all time).

Everyone who plays a game should simply play it for what it is: a way to set the real world aside for a while (much as a good book does). Those of us who have years of games in TES (or WoW, or whatever) behind us should actually be MORE inclined to play the latest iteration for what is is, rather than what our (entirely fallible, human) memories say it "should" be....

This is my 1st TES game (2nd Bethesda game: Fallout 3 was first), but I take the approach with every dynastic game that this is a new game...it's gonna' be different. As such I never complain that it's not enough or too much like the previous one.

My previous post was merely an exaggerated example of the most common complaint(s).

There are a couple things, that keep me from fully enjoying the game:

First, the horrible menu system on PC. It is ridiculously bad. Like, ugh. Second, the last patch which cant be undone and broke shadows..I get migraines. The game's smoother transition before wasnt a problem, but the rapid change i cant remove is. Third, I cant adjust the volume with my keyboard. Fourth, The game doesnt tell you if you already have learned a spell before you buy a spellbook. and fifth: Everything having to do with underwater.

Otherwise the game is just fine, though not my favorite in the series. I do love the setting though, especially the boreal ecosystems. Always been my favorite sorts of places in the real world. Not to keen on the supergray snowstorms..I grew up in wyoming so it reminds me of every month but August. Aside from these things I of course have gripes, but most of them are not deal-breakers.

Yes. Get the SkyUI. That alleviates some of the pain.

Eh?

Well surely you should know whether you've learnt a spell or not? How much spoon-feeding do you want?

Exactly what the title made me think of

No, I traded it in and used the points to get a preowned copy of AC2 for 3 bucks.

If I don't enjoy playing a game, I don't play the game and I certainly don't hang around the forums for said game... It really weirds me out to see the amount of people on the forums here slating Skyrim, like really ripping it apart... I mean I am down with constructive criticism of a game that I like but can see it's faults, if you really don't like the game that much, I presume you aren't playing it... if you aren't playing it... why are you hanging around the forums for said game?

If you are playing it... then man, you need psychological help.

These people can only be some kind of weird masochists... or trolls.
There can be no other explanation.

Y'know what, now I come to think of it, that's something I've always thought to be a bit strange too...

People hate to see the things they love turn into something they don't.

It's not surprising at all that they'd want to voice their concerns.

I don't think he quite means that - I know I don't.

Meant mainly for why people hang around here.

I'd agree on the hating it and still playing it venue, but I'd guess most people here don't actually hate it, they just don't like certain changes.

My main character is a level 58 Dark Elf "spellsword" that concentrated on conjuration. By using bound weapons and the soul trap perk you can work on conjuration and one-handed simultaneously; and once you get the soul trap perk you just have to load up on empty soul gems and build up your enchanting skill quickly. So, being a spellsword makes leveling rather easy.

Its worse on an X-box.

You're not seeing the whole picture. The hate is for the technical incompetence, not for the brilliance of the concepts and most of the execution. If I hated the game, I wouldn't have in my system for more than 5 minutes. I've sunk hundreds of hours into it, and it continues to be my main elective timesink. That's not hate. I've spent more time loving what I'm doing in this game than I've spent in all other games this year, combined. Don't dismiss me as a troll for hating on the huge pile of things that really need fixing.

I'm beginning to think folks here are willfully misconstruing Ulric Bale-Eye's post.

Ulric Bale-Eye supports constructive criticism. As, I hope, we all do. What he is talking about are the people who enter thread after thread (mostly in Skyrim general Discussion) with nothing to add to the discussion but "This svcks" and "That svcks" and "It's crap." These are the people who claim the devs are "lazy" whenever they think something has been taken out of the game that they personally feel should have been left in or something added to the game that they personally feel should have been left out.

These people add nothing to the community. They spread negativity across the forum and drag intelligent discussions of serious problems with the game down to the level of childish name calling. And it is entirely reasonable to wonder why these people are still here seven months later.

Yep. It's the main reason I stay out of "General".

Call the devs what you want, but the department you need to be attacking is the Marketing Dept. They are the ones who are gonna' be pushing the devs for release dates and deadlines. The devs are mostly likely gamer nerds like us who want a really cool game whereas the Marketing goons are just a bunch of suits who are trying to squeeze every dime out of a product until they get a better offer from another company and "move on".

well what I noticed about people not enjoying skyrim is this:

"I'm so bored/not enjoying skyrim after 100+ hours. Nothing to do. I've done EVERYTHING."

Now not everyone says this but a lot of people cry about Skyrim being boring but when you rush through the game you tend to think it redundent/boring. And when you have 100+-200+ hours in a game of course you're going to be bored of it. Personally I think it's high time you tried playing a different game for a few weeks. I did this, and picked skyrim back up and I've discovered I missed a lot.
The other people just need to find a play style that suites them.
OP your points are great. I think it will help some people who will read it and go "I think this style is a completely new way to try Skyrim". And they will try it and think Skyrim is new again.

To all the other rude commentors, if it doesn't work for you why are you bashing the OP? I don't get that. He has his way of playing and decided to share it with others who might benefit from it.

I enjoyed reading the OP's post and I loved the title. I even got a few things out of the suggestions. I needed to sell off a bunch of my junk. It was quite liberating.
I read it as suggestions and ideas. Some I took to heart and others I did not. I don't understand why others attacked.

This. Not sure whats up with all the, "I don't like Skyrim," posts on the Skyrim forum.
