I don't have much to say and am out of bandwidth at the moment.

I get what you mean, I have no connection to them and I'm kinda like "Why am I helping Skyrim/stormcloaks etc?"
But the scenery and battles are fun enough so :happy:

@starwars Deus Ex seems cool but i hate playing as a man so its hard to play. <3

I don't like playing as a man either

Skyrim is great because of beautiful scenery and fun quests (as well as fighting) but I miss the x factor in it. I don't feel connected neither with my character nor with any other character in the game... yup, I'm spoiled

Ok, try not to write too many pages in my absence. My brother is coming to visit and I have to take my daughter for a tattoo....SIGH.

When I return I'd love for someone to teach me how to put pictures in my posts :-P

 I'm not playing Skyrim! *fist pump*

I messed with the character creator while my husband was at work, and made the mistake of saying "I don't see what the big deal is about this game." He shot me a 'I will murder you in your sleep' look and said "I seriously hope you're joking."

What can I say? Sandbox RPGs sound all well and good, but I like a little structure in my games. Otherwise I wander around lost FOREVER!

[Bekkael]

@starwarsfan Have fun! (and you're a great mom to your daughter!)

@Chylise You either like sandbox games, or you don't. There's no right or wrong, just personal preferences. I love Skyrim and will play it until I have completed every bit of everything and every quest there is to do. But if ME3 came out tomorrow I would drop Skyrim until I had played my most anticipated game EVER, at least a half dozen times, maybe more. ;D

This is my problem, too. Beyond that, I find the need to get attached to something, so my horse becomes my favorite character. And when my horse dies... Well... It's a sad day

I haven't played Skyrim since last Monday, actually. I've been having too much fun with Assassin's Creed and Uncharted 3 to go back to mindless wandering.

I still don't get what the big deal is with Elder Scrolls games, though. It's a mindless RPG with clunky combat, awful characters, cheesy voice acting, and a sub par plot at best. Oblivion has to be the worst game I've ever played.

See, that's where my opinion will differ with yours. You see it as mindless wandering, I see it as complete freedom and a break from rigid, linear games, and there are very few such games out there. The Bethesda guys put some great surprises in random dungeons, and it's a real adventure to discover them. I do agree with you about the horse. I never lost a horse or had one die in Oblivion, so when I did in Skyrim I wanted to cry.

I loved Oblivion. I've actually been a little disappointed with some things they changed in Skyrim and prefer Oblivion because of it. Plus, Sean Bean as Martin Septimus made me swoon. But, once again, different strokes for different folks, I understand it isn't everyones cup of tea. Both Bethesda and BioWare are great companies that make wonderful games. I'm happy to be able to play them all.

I was not meant but hey *refistbump*

I tried both Oblivion and Skyrim and always, everytime run aroundm then stumble upon some secret boss enemy and die because I'm still level 1. And forgot there are nearly zero autosaves, so I nearly have to start over. Also totally freak out when I see skeletons and rats coming at me. 

I really dig the graphics but I play games basically for their storylines. 

I finished Assassin's Creed Revelations in three days, nothing is keeping me occupied till march, damnit!

I'm playing Oblivion right now.  Actually, I've been playing it for like a year and a half.  I really do like it.  It's always fun, but then I get sidetracked and forget what the quest I'm supposed to be doing is.  Same with Grand Theft Horse (Red Dead Redemption) - I've had that for almost a year now, and I'm like 25% of the way through.  I love playing for a few hours, but without imminent threat to the galaxy or a waiting darkspawn horde I don't have the impetus to keep going and I forget about it for months on end.

I probably should have re-worded that While I do enjoy the free roam aspects from time to time, I wish the story was intergrated (blah, can't spell) better into it. Nothing aside from curiosity motivates me to go exploring, and while that's all fun, it gets boring after a bit. 

Marriage in the game is a really cheap gimmick, even shallower than Fable's. Slightly disappointed in that, somewhere in my mind I assumed optional marriage = more developed NPCs.

Also, I noticed something odd in the game. In the opening level, my character (a female Nord) actually spoke a few lines of dialogue, but then it never happened again (the first was "Hold on, let me catch my breath" and the other was "Lead on, I'll follow you") I thought it was really weird that she only spoke then, but nowhere else. Maybe they had planned to include voiced characters, but scratched it and forgot to take out the beginning?

Was just searching Kaidan on google and found this.
Kaidan (怪談) (sometimes transliterated kwaidan) is a Japanese word consisting of two kanji: 怪 (kai) meaning “strange, mysterious, rare or bewitching apparition" and 談 (dan) meaning “talk” or “recited narrative.”

Thought it was rather cool

Kaidan \\
ka(i)-dan\\ as a boy's name is a variant of Kaden (Arabic), and the meaning of Kaidan is "companion".

Had in my head that I had read it was an arabic name and went to search. I think "comanion" is quite a telling name for a squaddie, hehe. Like the idea that it's a japanese name. He didn't strike me as asian before, but hell, I'm game hehe ^^

This. That's what I like about BioWare games. They straight up tell you this is where you need to go for the main storyline to progress, but that doesn't stop you from planet hopping, dungeon exploring, town vendoring, sidequest plowing, etc. When you're done having fun with that, you always know where you're supposed to go to continue on with the main story.

Even with JRPGs I get the "I have no idea where I'm going" problem, because either no one in the game tells me, or maybe I just picked up the game after not playing it for a couple months, and there's nothing in my menu that tells me what I did last and what I should be doing next. @_@ I get lost and distracted easily peo... hey look, shiny.

I wanted to love Skyrim, but on my PC it's crashing every time I as much as sneeze. And it ALWAYS crashes in the middle of dragon fights. Which is highly inconvenient for me if I want to get anywhere in this game.

Add to that my terrible experience with marriage...I chose Vorstag the hireling because he was convenient, didn't look like he had been beaten with the ugly stick, and had both eyes. Plus, a decent voice. So off to Riften we went, and our marriage was performed...but even before I could control my character again, Vorstag fled the temple. I ran after him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. So I'm back to using Lydia as a pack mule. SIGH.

Yeah, Bethesda has a long way to go when it comes to romances in their games.

[solvill]

I dunno I think Bethesda has the edge on realism when you can be left at the altar.

Ha! I love when I hear people call it that. It is certainly grand theft horse. I hated the ending though . . . except that his son ended up with beast mustache.

I have been trying to get into Skyrim but ended up having no time to play it so far. I also have the issue that my brother is away at school right now and we like to our play games together, which makes it 1000% more fun. We just make fun of everything and look for glitches, so Skyrim is currently lacking bazaar commentary and made up songs relating to whatever is happening at that moment in the game (and he always makes up a theme song for the PC character that is sung while wandering about).

But I agree that the character interactions are severely lacking. And I always give my horse I silly generic-ish name like Mr. Horesykins. I also get startled all the time when people show up out of nowhere to murder me with an ax and I am standing there asking myself why no one warned me about it ahead of time. Then I realize that I am running around on my own. WHERE ARE YOU KAIDAN!!??(aka Kadien/Queandan/Caden/etc.)
