Skyrim is the first Bethesda game ever that I have played. I'm only 7 hours into Skyrim but I have to say that I am severely disappointed. I didn't really know what to expect, I just thought it would be sort of like Bioware games except with more things to do (eg a game with a storyline, side quests, etc). How wrong I was.
The game is just so big that you aren't sure what to do. I find myself wondering where to go, who to talk to when I get side quests. For example, I went to jail and broke out, but couldn't find the chest with my stuff. I searched all over the internet for information about where exactly this chest was (like it's EXACT location), couldn't find any. Finally just decided to go back to jail and serve my time, and luckily my stuff appeared afterwards. And when I think of things like alchemy, making potions and stuff, and you don't have a recipe guide.
I think the game is just too huge and too open that you end up not knowing what you should be doing. I can't ever tell what objects I should keep, which ones I should sell off. I don't even know if there is storage or not, where to get it. I read you can buy a house. Can't even find out where. The game just expects you to find everything yourself, and I guess I just am not that kind of person.
I just am not having fun. It's not a story about character development, about getting to know people, about learning about the universe of the game you're in. It's a game about just doing what you want. You play as a mute character and it just makes me feel disconnected, like the overall storyline doesn't matter. I still have no idea what the heck the story is about the war (why they went to war, who's are war with who, etc). There's no point, no goal, nothing to achieve. I need to play a story and see it unfold.
I just don't the patience. I think it's like that game Myst that I got for Christmas one year. It's a game where you don't have goals, where they let you do whatever you want and where you have to discover everything yourself. Didn't like it, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't like Skyrim. Playing Skyrim just makes me even more impatient for Mass Effect 3 (and I have been so critical about it!!) and Dragon Age 3. I need to play a character with a voice, I need to have compagnons, I need to have goals and objectives. Playing as just one mute character who can do whatever he wants just doesn't do it for me.
Look before you leap, I cant believe you brought a game without looking it up first, I never buy a game simply becuase other people say it's good, I've got my own opinion so I need to make my own judgement.
Anyway you're right, you're just too impatient, this is a game you need to take time with, live in another world, it's not about the developer holding your hand and telling you what to do, it's about what you want to do. Anyway imo this is the best game to have come out for a long time. Also apart from DA2 and Mass effect 1 and 2 all of Bioware's games have mute protaganists, most people feel better connected to the characer as they can imagine it's their own voice if they characters mute.
Retour en haut
. The quest doesn't get marked as completed in your journal until your home and playing it.
was getting way too addicted already, with today being a holiday and everything, I just woke up and sinked a day into it, completely forgot myself, didn't eat, just bad, really bad :/
