Go back to the skill system from Morrowind. There is no reason to keep trimming skills and dumbing things down! We gamers are NOT as stupid as Bethesda thinks we are! We can learn more complex skill sets if they'd just LET US. Give us back our spears, our crossbows (Reloading isn't as much of a problem when you have repeating crossbows like the Chinese did), our medium armor, our throwing weapons, and different-looking soul gems!

I've been playing with axes and blunt weaposn lately, and looking for axe and blunt weapon mods. But most of the weapon mods I find on here are swords and daggers! Hafted weapons need love, too, you know!

I just got SimCity 4, and started making regions modeled after stuff from the Elder Scrolls series. I haven't gotten things entirely lore-friendly, but if anyone else on here has, where can I find some regions copied from Oblivion and Shivering Isles? Anything from Daggerfall? Morrowind? I don't need any cities--just the heightmaps themselves.

Why the hell are they removing spellmaking? Congrats, Bethesda. You just ruined TES FOREVER!

I haven't played any male characters in Oblivion for a long time. But just as in Oblivion, I'm sure Skyrim will end up with lots of female armor and clothing mods, too. Sex sells. There's no arguing with that.

Genzel is right about the fast travel, in Oblivion you either used the "teleport to and from anywhere" system or walked. There was no transport system in Oblivion. Modded rings that let you travel from place to place like Oblivion were listed under cheats on Morrowind mod sites and with good reason. But there were horses! You could also ride a horse! That's three options there. Still, people need to stop bitching and moaning about fast travel. If you don't like it, DON'T f***ing USE IT!

There is no legitimate reason for removing mysticism. None! Why would they make such a stupid-ass move like that? Does Bethesda WANT to push us away? We're not that stupid. We can learn more complex skill sets IF THEY'LL JUST LET US! >:( Bethesda really needs to just go back to the skill system from Morrowind. Stop pandering to console 'tards and respect how intelligent we gamers are! Give us back our crossbows and spears, goddamn it! And there's no legitimate reason why a dagger and a longsword should be handled the same way. Nor should a mace and a sword be handled the same way. The attack animations should reflect that. A bandit wielding an axe should not be able to handle a dagger as well as my thief character because my thief specializes in daggers. Also, give us an option to turn off tutorials. They may help absolute newbies, but those of us who are more experienced don't even need them! I don't know which is worse: The tutorial in Oblivion or Navi from Ocarina of Time. Enough with all the hand-holding so early in the game! Why so much hate for fast travel? Nobody's forcing you to use it, and time passes as if you'd have traveled normally. Genzel, your comment that it wasn't optional makes me wonder if we even played the same game. Cultural reasons for death bounty: IIRC, the Norse legal system worked like that--if you were found guilty of murder, you had to pay a fine to the victim's family. Two cows or gold or goods of equal value. If you couldn't afford it, you were jailed or exiled.

Considering that Skyrim is set 200 years after Oblivion, maybe they could throw in a descendant of M'aiq's who shares the same name as him. M'aiq's remarks were funny, though.

I do use BOSS, but for some strange reason it puts Better Cities in the middle of my load order. I looked in the Readme and it said Better Cities has to be very late in your load order.

I recently tried uninstalling Cute Elves, then started a new character with Korana's Hidden Elves mod. Now I've got missing hands all of a sudden! I tried re-installing Cute Elves, but that didn't fix anything. How am I supposed to fix this? This has never happened before! (It's not affecting older saves.)

How can you have barely noticed the mysticism skill? I use those spells all the time! Who among us hasn't had to use a detect life spell?

It would NOT make for too many magic skills! We had more skills in Morrowind and got by perfectly well. If you can have more skills in Morrowind, you can have them in Skyrim. Bethesda really needs to stop dumbing things down and go back to how things were in Morrowind. Gamers are NOT morons. At least give us more incentive to use hand-to-hand as a major combat skill and put axes back in their own separate skill set. They're not blunt weapons if they've got big-ass blades!

Removing Mysticism was a VERY bad move! :mad: Stop dumbing everything down, Bethesda! We gamers are not stupid. We can learn more diverse skill sets if you'd just let us.

If your acrobatics skill is good enough, there's a broken pillar in the room where you fight Umbra. Jump on it, then whip out your bow and snipe away at her. She will NEVER touch you.

It's just resistance to spells that enemies throw at you.

That just sounds like enforced anarchy. If you just have to pay a fine or go to jail for a few days, it's enforced anarchy in a system designed to favor the rich.

Ha, yeah. So many things about Oblivions AI could be improved. Such as saying out loud by pressing some key: "Watch out! I'm going to fire a spell!" They'd still probably go in front of you though :pinch: Just what the blue hell was Bethesda thinking making the AI like that? Radiant AI my aching ass! You'd think they'd program friendly NPCs so there WOULDN'T be as much friendly fire!

I've got a very heavily modded game (Running COBL, some custom races, and a bunch of others), so with COBL's overhauled birthsigns, I'd go with an Altmer born under the sign of the Ritual and a custom class that specializes in magic and has intelligence and willpower as favored attributes if I wanted a world-class mage with any of the vanilla races. Of course, you've also got Bretons, who have 50% resistance to magic (And can bring that up to 100% just by equipping one ring). But with custom races, I've been using Korana's Hidden Elves mod with the same birthsign and class. Got the magicka bonus of Altmer combined with the alchemy and marksman bonuses of a Bosmer.

There was no legitimate reason to omit spears, merge long and short blades into one blade skill, merge axes with blunt weapons, and only have heavy and light armor skills. We gamers aren't stupid. We can learn a more diverse skill system if Bethesda would just let us. Why dumb it down?

No you're alright, no JRPG for us. What's wrong with having that kind of music in an Elder Scrolls game? What do you think is going to happen? Its really more or less the fact its a different game, which isn't TES-styled; they probably wouldn't want their composers making music for another company anyway. Not that I don't like those games (or their music) though, they are really good. That's why I said they should do a collaboration with Soule. I'd imagine some of those composers also do work for other companies or have done so before. I'm no expert on the logistics of the whole thing, but they'd at least just have to get some Japanese translators in case Uematsu, Kikuta, and the rest of them don't speak English. Then trade music files to get an idea of what they'd be working with. Compose some new music together, edit it all appropriately, and send the data to Bethesda. Shouldn't be that hard, language barriers aside.

I recently had a thought while modding my music files in Oblivion: Bethesda should get some of Square Enix's composers to do some music for Skyrim. I'd love to hear the product of a collaboration among Jeremy Soule, Nobuo Uematsu, Hiroki Kikuta, Noriko Matsueda (Bahamut Lagoon, Final Fantasy X-2), Yasunori Mitsuda (Xenosaga I; I know it's not a Square game but it still had a boss soundtrack), Yuji Kajiura (Xenosaga II; see before), and Tsuyoshi Sekito (Brave Fencer Musashi) in an Elder Scrolls game for once.

What Bethesda needs is more variety in their choice of voice actors. You can only stomach hearing the same six guys for so long. (My guess is Patrick Stewart must have eaten up the budget.) They could get Sean Bean and Terrence Stamp back in, but throw in some different talent, too. They could at least get Beau Billingslea to voice some Redguards. (You may know him off the English dubs of Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, Macross Plus, and Gankutsuou.) Perhaps even Michael McConnohie (Diablo II, Code Geass, Monster) for some Imperials. As for music, good to know they're getting Jeremy Soule on board again.

If we ever see multiplayer in an Elder Scrolls game again, make it co-op only. If they did online multiplayer, it'd take away control from the players because then the developers would have to balance everything, and there'd be room for player killers to ruin all the fun.
