Giving any entity the power to do as you describe is a recipe for disaster. Power is mishandled even on the smallest of scales and on the larger scales it is downright abused and rewards only the corrupt. Even the most well meaning of people would bring destruction and misery with such power.

Ummm...why? you make more money and it's way more fun to kill things.

Awesome...I now have a new standard. Thalmor souls for me from here on.

That's the way I use them, if the target is evil to the core I figure they deserve it.

This. Ditto in Oblivion.

I can live with the lack of unique voices, it's the lack of unique dialog that drives me nuts. Why hire different actors to read the same lines? I hate how all the Jarls use the same lines and all the guards use the same line with different voices! Why? They really couldn't write unique lines for each voice actor? :verymad:

Sorry man but no way. I couldn't play the game if it was like that. The bright side? You have another game you can play.

I love the patches, fixed a few problems and I haven't noticed any downside to having them. I did get a backwards flying dragon once but that has been fixed for 2 patches now.

Thanks for the heads up in the drivers. I just wish installing new ones wouldn't keep turning off my SLI.

Mammoths fall out of the sky all the time. And the couriers are almost always naked. Why are you complaining? XD I think necked is the word you are looking for.

I need to use the wabbajack more often. I tend to stash it as a trophy and never use it but that is epic.

Great but is anything made in the last 3 years even comparable? I loaded it with all the new graphics mods and played for a while but the damn cliff racers pissed me off so bad I quit and never played again! They kept getting caught in trees and I was ready to level but couldn't get to a place to sleep and I had to drop the skooma and moonsugar JUST TO TALK TO A MERCHANT! so many things pissed me off. Yay Skyrim.

Sadly on my latest play through I made sure to get the quest for Finns Lute before I found it. I still have the damn thing!!!!! This lute is killing me!

I comepletely agree, this is the exact feeling i have of skyrim and pretty much of all bethesda games...overall their games are good, you can get lost in them for hours and hours, but once you start to pay attention to the details, wich will happen after a time, you see the parts are poorly done. I love to RP and immerse myself into a game, but with skyrim i just couldnt...i did played it a lot, but the more i played it, the more i felt disconnected with it...and finally after coming to the bards college, eagerly waiting that im going to be a bard, you know playing those instruments and stuff, the only thing i got was some quest and learn speech...that was basicaly the last straw, after that i didnt played. Now im just waiting for the ck to repeat the same as with oblivion, tons of mods in order to be interested and i havent even finished the main quest. :wallbash: I guess I understand and even agree to a point. I just look at Steam and see 216 hours played and it trumps any game I have played in a long time. The Civ series was always my favorite since Civ 2 but Civ 5 is crap (129 hrs) compared to the others. Civ 2 is way better and 4 is the best. I can't even imagine the hours I put into Civ 2,3 and 4.

The Witcher was good, not good enough to hold me until the end. I got bored and stopped playing, no. 2 was not my cup o tea either. But certainly not a game or game series I would go to a board and talk bad about like people are with Skyrim. I can see the attraction and I got my money's worth (not like a TES game though). DA:O I already talked about, to recap, good but way to linear. In BG I could have a stronghold and I was not pigeonholed into a group and I could go many places whenever I wanted...and...well you get the picture.

Well, what I can recommend is The Last Remnant, but don't even bother trying it if you don't like turn-based JRPG, then the Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 (Because Faerun is Faerun) and prolly KOTORs (not the MMO). It's all rather old, but unless you're a graphic freak, you won't really mind it I believe. All those have nice stories and gameplay. That's still comming from similar-to-BG tho. I played it and got addicted to it for some strange reason. I still don't know why. :unsure: Thanks for mentioning a game I had forgotten about but managed to ruin my life for a few weeks a few years ago. I never did finish it due to personal reasons in my life at the time and I never re-loaded it because I knew it was too addictive. Great game....but still don't know why though. :biggrin:

Totally agree about the "dungeon" design. Still see some generic designs (forts mostly) but not even close to the levels seen before in other games by many developers.

I bought DA:O and played it through 3 times with different options. Way to linear and after my disappointment and what I read didn't bother with DA:2. I already have way more hours into Skyrim. It's not that Skyrim is perfect it's just that nothing has even come close since....Oblivion. (OK..I loved Fallout 3 too but not NV.)

or so many people claim. Just what game am I missing then? Please do not mention another TES game. I have played them and Skyrim is better by any modern standard. I am actually just starting a game of Daggerfall on Dos-box but I am talking about a modern game here. My all time favorites are Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment but they are way to dated to consider at this point. I am talking about a game released in the last 2 or 3 years that even comes close to Skyrim. PC only please. I do not own a console. What am I missing?

Please tell me about this better game you must be playing. If Skyrim sucks there must be at least one that is better. (Please do not mention another TES game.)

I had this happen one time but loading a save before the glitch fixed it and it never happened again. It happened to me very early on my first play through and I have no idea why it happened.

I can't find patch notes anywhere. Why is this so hard?

As measured by who? And what are they measuring? Now that people are no longer even looking for work Obama can claim a win I guess. Not to mention that he controls how it's measured and has already changed the way it's measured to help himself.

Agreed. Not to mention the legal ones pay taxes. Maybe.
