I am excited and want to play Skyrim. That being said I don’t see why everyone is so obsessed with the series. For starters I hate when we have to play in a first person point of view. Part of the reason I never finished Oblivion however it was nigh impossible to play in the third person view in Oblivion. It looked crappy and it was impossible to aim. If they fix this I will be happy in Skyrim.
Next there was really no attachment to the main character in their games. I need to have some feeling for the character I am playing.
Last and easily the biggest is there is really no really deep story. Just a stream of quests that didn’t really pay off for me. This is probably the biggest problem with Bethseda for me. All I felt like I did was quest then listen to the story by watching a person’s face. The biggest thing for me in a videogame is a deep and complex story, preferably one whose outcome I can affect through my actions.
Hopefully for Skyrim they fixed these problems if so I will enjoy the game. If not I’ll still enjoy it but not as much. I do love the graphics for Skyrim and how open the world is. Not to mention those epic dragon fights. Sometimes I just feel the story gets lost in that big world. I don’t know if this is a day one buy for me but I will get it eventually.
Yeah, I think for a lot of people it's just... there, in a market that isn't huge. TES is an also-ran RPG for me, I'll definitely buy it, but I expect it will be pants in its own way.
Oblivion was basically crap without mods as anything more than a sandbox Wandering Around Simulator (but it did that part fine).
I'm also with you on the graphics - I remember when they released initially the content+gamebryo foo was hideously demanding, it would cook the hell out of what was good hardware at the time.
The scenery was nice, but despite that, you fired up the game and were immediately presented with the emperor's face, which looked like a carrier bag full of sausages, right after someone stamped on it.
No amount of stupidly excessive HDR/Bloom (MY EYES!!! ARGH MY EYES!!!) ever made me forget the jawdropping fail of that opening scene, ha.
In general, faces looked like ass on Oblivion, level scaling and lots of game mechanics were broken, and the content and NPC interaction were boring, repetitive and sparse, sparse, sparse. It had the story of a Twilight novel or the back of a cigarette packet.
The list goes on. Still, because of the ease of modding and the fact that everyone was expecting a sandbox game of that type, it was no biggy.
I expect we'll see the same sort of thing from Skyrim, and if we don't, if it's some crazy magnum opus TBH? That's gravy.
Not to mention no romances or sleep around options. Whats a fantasy game without a lil sex?
Jk
These are just my opinions though and I hope that for all those die hard fans dying to play it that you enjoy and that it lives up to your expectations
Ha, I used to love a good romance, but sometimes it's relaxing to play an "RPG"where you don't get hit on/sleazed at all the time by men, women, horses, table legs, lamp-shades and spoons. Even if there
is sod all story and you're mostly just wandering around hunting wolves in the wilderness.
