Howleyesque

"Levels" are fine to keep track of your char progression through the various "skills"; but it says nothing about their renown in Skyrim. Logically, your char would start off as an ":unknown" and gain noteriety as they gain "titles" (like Thane of Whiterun" or some other Hold or as they slay dragons in or around each capital city. Gaining titles such as Archmage or being the "deciding factor" in the outcome of the "rebellion' should in time make them a celebrity, known throughout Skyrim. At present, there is no "system" in place to track it.

It sounds like a great mod; so I downloaded it. Only one problem, WHERE is it located? My char DOES explore, but checking every waterfall on every river turns it into more of a "quest" than I had in mind!

Likes: the graphics are fantastic; just BEAUTIFUL scenery. Per usual, Bethesda has FULLY developed a great many quests; large and small and done a GREAT job of intermingling some of them. It remains true to the history of the PREVIOUS games (Morrowwind, Oblivion)). Dislikes: NEW system aren't always BETTER systems! The so called "bartering" system has NO BARTERING in it. It's simply a mercantile system (I INFINITELY preferred the mixed system used in Morrowwind. It allowed you to sell smaller value items and build up a merchant's inventory and then take those same items back later on as "change" in larger transactions. it also made it possible to buy or sell MORE than one item at a time. I REALLY detest the fact that (just as in Oblivion and unlike Morrowwind) you CANNOT place objects where you want them in this game! Instead you can only place items IN CONTAINERS OR throw them out to land where ever ! I want the ABILITY to CHOSE WHERE I want objects to BE in this game! Lastly, speaking of choices, I hate the manner in which char creation is handled. In Morrowwind, YOU decided your char starting stats and decided which INDIVIDUAL skills you wanted to have as your primary focus, which ones as a secondary set and which ones were your LAST priority. In short, I'm less concerned with pretty pictures than with the ability to "customize" my game WITHOUT having to either "mod" it or use the console! I want to be able to do THAT ... IN GAME! It was THAt ability to make MY game MY OWN right from char creation that got me hooked on Morrowwind. It's disappearance in these last two games has utterly disappointed me!
