I predict that the best they will do is mimic Skyrim superficially. They'll try to make it look and feel like an open world, but the illusion will fade the instant you run into an invisible collision box.

It's a hot topic because people (in general) love to search for and point out what they perceive as flaws in other people to make them feel better about themselves and whatever they feel they're lacking in their own lives.

You're still in the first chapter; don't throw the book away just yet.

Nearly 300 replies on this now?
Play whatever you want; don't worry about what others think and don't bother them with what you think.
The end.

No problemo. Glad I could help.
-
I recommend that, after uninstalling the game, you run a safe registry cleaner like CCleaner. After that I think the game should install properly.

I have no doubt that someone will make such a mod, just as I have no doubt that someone will also make a mod to expand upon same-sex relationships in the game. We all do our own thing.

The wiki only mentions the one in the inn.

Both players and game developers/publishers definitely benefit from mods and the modding community. As jim_uk said of Morrowind (in the double-post) I'll also go a step further and say of one of my favorite old games, Classic Doom. On Steam each installment of the game is still priced at $10 USD and I'd be willing to wager that one of the main reasons it still sells at all after nearly 20 years is that there exists a database of literally thousands of free custom mods for it. Bethesda's three most recent Elder Scrolls games will live on virtually forever and continue to sell copies largely due to mods and I have no doubt that Bethesda knows it.

Bethesda has not released it to the public yet.

Due to the size of their game worlds and the expansive scope of the gameplay in the Elder Scrolls games I think it's obvious that the devs never intended anyone to try to play through them without saving their progress, so in an "ironman" scenario you really can't criticize the gameplay balance. The games were never intended to be played that way.

This method sounds pretty weird, but I've learned that life is often stranger than fiction. I'll try this the next time I'm playing. Thanks for sharing.

It's just a video game.
How little you know
I don't claim to know a lot of anything, and you've never seen me make such claims here or anywhere else.
A few things I do know:
I've played Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and now Skyrim. I've enjoyed each game, though each game has it's similarities with the others and it's differences. But in the end, they're only games. I enjoy them as pastimes, diversions, recreation, escapes from reality, stress relief and, when modding and forum-browsing, I enjoy them as outlets for creative impulses and an opportunity to connect with others with similar interests in the same games. But not one of them is such an important, integral part of my real life that I feel the need to try to prove to others that my way of playing them is right and theirs is wrong, that my opinions are facts and everyone else is "dumbed down" as the thread title claims. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes about these games and their own ways of enjoying them. The fact that this is so difficult for some people to accept is astonishing.

They suited Fallout though. Although strange it was really nice to see a game develop on an easter egg they had in the original. Fallout was outlandish, and so is Skyrim/TES but both in their own ways. If spells were added to Fallout and lasers to TES it would be a completely different version of weird to the previous 'odd' DLC.
I was just speaking figuratively. No, I don't expect Bethesda to actually send us to Mars. I was merely saying that it will likely be something outlandish and unexpected.
My response was in response to Boudro's comment.
I knew what you meant. :thumbsup:
Okay. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif(Don't know why I was feeling defensive...)

I think she was trying more to point out the outlandishness of fallouts DLCs. And they were pretty weird.
Thank you. I was making an Observation about Bethesda's modus operandi.

The Thalmor underground would be nice; Solstheim too.
But if Bethesda follows the formula they used in their Fallout games, the DLCs will have nothing to do with the main game and instead will transport us to Mars or something.
Yeah, transporting us to mars makes sense in Skyrim, right?
I don't see the point in posting if you're just going to be bluntly negative.
Because aliens had everything to do with post-nuclear America?
This is Skyrim, not Fallout.
And this is a thread that asked for our opinions, not for us to flame and troll each other. I haven't insulted your opinions or observations.

Next bethesda game will be like Rage from ID and people will think they still play an RPG because they can choose their weapons and talk to people.
Be careful what you wish for...

skyrim is most definitely dumbed down to a predominantly hack and slash rpg where every quest is a dungeon crawl against one of 5 types of enemies
This could also be said of Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

Did...you just write this to start arguments?
No...it's the truth
Opinion and truth are subjective.
Opinion, yes. Truth, kind of; there's the factual truth, which is pretty much indisputable, and also the truth that people believe, which is definitely subjective, but even then, you could classify the latter as actually a belief, and therefore an opinion and not a truth, so technically speaking, Truth isn't really subjective.
Sorry. I was referring more to attitudes like: "I typed my opinion in a gaming forum, therefore it is the indisputable truth".
