Kill Paarthurnax ? Hah . If I could , I would kill the Blades for their ignorance of demanding a thing like this

It seems you guys think that I want to be the Emperor . Well , I don't . I just think that these achievements could easily make you one . Anyways , the dovahkiin path is similar to Talos' . Strange ...

One of the most strange things I noticed ingame (and I somehow liked it) is that I can be the arch-mage of the college , the leader of the companions , the leader/rebuilder/listener of the dark brotherhood , the leader of the thieves guild (and nightingales if Karliah had a little accident :P) , the legate of the Imperial Legion and the Thane of so many Holds . Not to mention the fact that you saved the world . With all that epicness , I start to wonder if there is a secret code to become the High King of Skyrim (kidding) or even the Emperor (kidding more) . Unfortunately I don't have an XBOX 360 and haven't played Dawnguard . But my guess is that something epic exists there as well . Now , I won't judge Bethesda for not trying , as the developers did try somehow to make the achievements of the players known (guards commenting , people thanking , etc) , but I would really like more depth . For example , imagine you become all of the above . You clearly are the most important and powerful man in skyrim . Even the high King can not match that influence . It would be nice to see the people thanking you for your kindness or running away at their homes and locking the doors when you set foot at their cities . Bully the shopkeepers and threaten them , or save their shops and become worshiped . However , I do not care that much for the variety of actions as I do for the A.I responding to your actions . In the end , I think that would be the best buff for immersion possible . Every action , every kill , every quest , every step counts towards the general view .

I am not a hater and I do not hate Bethesda . I love the games but in my topic I post the negatives that I believe exist . I am not talking about character variation neither . I just believe that there are many many things that could be fixed , even by a simple patch . Of course there are things that can only be intergrated in a new game ... Moreover , I do not hate modders , on the contrary I think that they are the reason that the PC community is still so much active . Finally , my point was that Bethesda has all the experience to vastly improve game aspects like combat and A.I dramatically . However they don't . Instant-Edit : I just hate how money comes above everything else

I know that since my first game in the franchise was Oblivion , I cannot be considered an experienced player , but again , I think I have enough experience to analyze the way that Bethesda is creating games so far . I understand that making a RPG world is quite the feat , but the ignorance of the daedra spawns who are known by the name "developers" today is really making me crazy . I will go deep on that in a few lines . First , I would like to make my point clear ... Bethesda is creating games in a conservative way so that not only the buyers won't become bored fast and downgrade the game but there will also be a visible way to improve the game itself . In other words , Bethesda studios is leaving faults behind or unfinished content ON PURPOSE . As a result , these faults are an easy fix for future games . Bethesda is a master of Ilusion magic . To prove the previous theory , I challenge you to take a small part of the entire game in Oblivion and watch it grow . You can realise that there are details added but there are also GAPS left wide open . And , what a surprise , these gaps are filled in the next release and so on . IT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING TO FORGET AN IMPORTANT PART , THAN LEAVING IT OUTSIDE OF THE GAME ON PURPOSE , JUST SO THAT YOU CAN ENABLE IT LATER AS A PLAN-B IN CASE YOU RUN OUT OF IDEAS . In the end the game comes out half , combat system ruined , few quests working and a small part of them are really worth playing , magic is limited in spells , shouts are also limited , weapons are also limited , uniques give a fake exotic taste and the artificial intelligence can't f*cking understand a thing . Furthermore the buyer is forced to follow X paths in the game , cannot make personal choices and almost always have to suffer the consequences of the stupidity of ingame characters . Sorry Bethesda but I want to save the Brotherhood (how the hell Maro got the pass-phrase anyway) and NO , NO , NO , I do not want to command the companions , the college , the thieves guild , the dark brotherhood , the Imperial Legion as a Legate while I try to kill Alduin and his stupid allies who can die by an essential peasant with a fork -NO! A SPOON- . So the developers release a game which is destined to leave gaps , just to be filled later on . However the worst thing is that they forget these gaps . As a result , not only they choose the combination of good-better-better than better - etc than the great-great-great-... combination , but they also make no progress . Two of the biggest gaps in the game are the hated combat system which could look a lot better and the A.I . For this reason there are so many mods out there , All things concluded , If Bethesda was to make a great game , then the nexus should be empty of mods that improve it . Since the mods exist , Bethesda should learn to act better towards their customers . PS > For you praising the Creation Kit , I do not doubt that it is good , but it seems to me that Bethesda sent us a clear message saying us : This is our baby-game . Now clear the cr@p out of it .

Due to the fact that this thread is besieged by an overwhelming number of imb@ciles debating which Period of War of Human History matching the war of Skyrim or why the Stormcloaks are better than Imperials because Ulfrik reminds that person and Tulius is a PU@@@ and other excuses , I decided to come open and share my experience of Bethesda Softworks gaming (Oblivion , Fallout 3 , Fallout New Vegas , Skyrim ) . The evil , cruel , not human but daedra developers have decided it would be very funny if in every quest the player must take a choice , which choice HE DOES NOT ENTIRELY believe in . For example , in oblivion , I did not want to kill the entire brotherhood . P@SS OFF Lachance and Black Hand . In Fallout 3 to be honest I felt more free than before but some quest really annoyed me (can't say know names I have to play the game for ages but for gods sake vault 101 storyline made me want to kill the entire wasteland just for my amusement seeing everyone suffering my own pain) . Now to the orgy of limited decisions , Fallout New Vegas . OK , I don't want to be the emperor of Nevada and Vegas neither do I want to bring that baldie the world to his feet . SO ? Two options remaining . NCR and Mr.House . The first , the living example of why did the nukes exploded in the first place and the second , a mean , selfish man , who counts on machines to control what he thinks he owns . I MEAN EVERYTHING HAS SOMETHING NEGATIVE THAT YOU HATE ? WHAT'S THE POINT OF SHAPING THE FUTURE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT ? Now to our subject , Skyrim . Trying to be honest again , I have to admit that I joined the stormcloaks at first (Reason? THAT AXE THAT WENT FOR MY HEAD TULIUS !!!) . However , during the second and the third playthrough I went with the Empire . Reasons explained below . 1)We all know the real "bad" guys are the Thalmor and obviously the best chance to win them are with a united empire , unless you have 30 enchantments on every piece of weapon and armor that make them deadly to elves . In that case , feel free to crush them alone . 2)Why did Ulfrik kill the High King in the first place ? 1rst stupid answer ) Cause he was with the Imperials Answering the previous answer ) REALLY ? Because I think noble sir Ulfrik that the moot (sorry for potential mispell) decides who the next king is , and If I recall corectly the "FREE" Skyrim OCCUPIES HALF OF THE HOLDS . WHAT THE HELL MAN ? 3)A rebel cannot rule an empire and fight a real war . The stormcloaks fought in the dark for too long and their open-battle experience is limited . Seriously where are the stormcloak spies in Aldmeri Dominion ? 4)Ban on the worship of Talos . IF I can recall right , Talos was worshiped IN Cyrodil as well and other places of the empire . Don't act like you were the only ones insulted . Thats my reasons , sorry for my aggressive tone . I assure you its nothing about you , I am just starting to hate the developers . They become ... obvious . PS>When I started the DB quest I knew 99% a portion of the clan would die ... :/
