My Skyrim, A newbie perspective and thoughts.

 

I have always been an Adventure game fanatic, I started with Sierra games, which I love. I am a nut for the quest for glory series 1-5. Yet Skyrim shocked me.

 

It is actully the best thing I have ever played and thanks to wonderful mod creators, it is fully customizable in almost anyway you can imagine.

 

Dawnguard is genuis. I dont think I'm going to be playing any mmorpgs for the forseeable future. This is just too good.

 

Admitadly I had to restart the game multiple times because of my ignorance of the fact that order dose not matter and it wont really mess things up to go somewhere your not supossed to be, or see or talk to someone out of order.

 

I kept thinking I created dead ends in the game. My history as a adventure game player is in part to blame for this.

 

I had some mod issues but just now got everything right as rain. This vampire character will be a sucsess, thanks in part to a helpful person on this site that took the time to awnser a simple question about order of doing things.

 

Skyrim players and modders on the whole seem to have good taste, and have made skyrim a dreamworld.

 

One thing I never liked about some of my favorate games is lack of place for the hero and lack of natural recegnition. Like the player should be scondary to that offrded to npcs and not be as privleged or reguarded.

 

My beloved quest for glory is one exsample of this failing. Untill the fith game, which ironicly was not as aclamied and admidly lacks the style of the ones before it. Yet is almost superior dispite this, for the approch they take with the hero. Even if in some respects they did not go far enough.

 

Modders have gone along way to fixing that in skyrim with mods such as Marrigable Serana, respectful guards, armor of harkon and other such.

 

It is after all the players fantasy game to be exsperenced.

 

Life as a vampire is of course only one approch to this and there are so many varations that one could play for a year and not tire of it.

 

Skyrim is 10/10.

Try playing Skyrim without mods. It is just terrible.

You have hit on many of the reasons I've been playing TES (The Elder Scrolls) games since Morrowind. The first time I finished the main quest in Morrowind, I floated down the mountain. I felt I'd really accomplished something. Plus, NPCs recognized what you'd accomplished and responded accordingly. I have yet to finish the main quest in Skyrim, in spite of 2K plus hours of play, but I expect a similar feeling.

 

For me, it's the role-playing aspects of a game that are important. Give me a character I can customize, a game I can mod, a good storyline and the chance to make a real difference in the game world, and I'm a happy gamer. A sandbox (play anywhere) world and a strong modding community are icing on the cake.

 

Welcome to the world of TES. :)

I always appreciate the unbiased comments of the truly reasonable gamer.

Skyrim is flawed though; it is the nature of the beast. Mods do go a tolerable way to remedying many of he flaws.

 

TES games are a lot of fun becasue they "work"- there is a definable back story and reason for the bizarre things you may see and do (even if the reasons can be thin). One fun thing I did when I started with Morrowind was to read every book I came across, to learn about the bizarre world. Exploration, for me, is the highlight of these games.

 

My big complaint about Skyrim is the Journal. I can live with many of the other shortcomings or at least mod them away, but the journal is in my opinion awful. It is a great tool, but implemented poorly. Oblivion and especially Morrowind got it right in this regard.

 

But by the same token, each TES game being slightly different is what keeps me coming back to the new titles.

This guy I'm playing now from a RP point of view is basicly some kind of vampire dreadlord or trying to be, and a nord warrior also,

 

He cares about skyrim and its people on a whole. kind of like a well meaning yet slightly dionysian shadow knight, or in this game a dark spellsword vampire if I understand correctly.

 

Truly a crusader of some type and will bring about the grater good through his actions, He dose not really like or support theiving, truly not as a profession, he finds it distasteful...but would theorticly aproprate or annex, as in Just take and possibly kill the owner of anything he really needed for his cause if there was no other way to possibly attain it and to aid skyrim and continue down the path hes on.

 

He is loyal to his freinds and never mistreats his followers, and dose not support unpragmatic exsplotation for its own sake. He would risk much for that which he holds true and right. Sacrfise much...but only if there is no other way. Hes not what he considers to be foolish.

 

Kind of if one could be the opposet of a paladin and still functionaly be a palidan. He dose not seem to really be good or evil yet he has a taste for power as well, yet dose not let this blind him as a pure villian might. Myabe some day I'll try the more pure Paladain knight errant type.

 

I have always loved the combonation of sword and sorcery anyway in all its forms and thought I would try something diffrent.
