LeopoldCrank Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Todd Howard, game director and executive producer of Bethesda Game Studios, has said that the improvements made in their upcoming RPG sequel, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, are just as significant as Oblivion was to Morrowind. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, Howard said that the level of changes made were "about the same.” That basically infers that its being mainstreamed. And, regardless of which you prefer, Oblivion or Morrowind, if he declares well and truly and Oblivion was an improvement on Morrowind, then to say that Skyrim is an improvement on Oblivion means that it will be mainstreamed even more so. What the fudge Todd?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvinkun Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) Well, I can't wait for Skyrim, but at the same I fear Skyrim. Guess we'll have to see. Let's hope that the big inovations are things like separate control of each hand, the nice looking spellcasting... the way skills are obtained... And not "Opening the game world to casual users"(Read as making the game so simplistic, that retarded monkeys can play it) or " We plan on screwing PC players cos we don't care about them.". Well, as I said, we can only hope, no? Edited September 28, 2011 by elvinkun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe, but a lot of what has come out, particularly recently has pointed in this direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iv000 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 You're worrying too much.Yes, Skyrim is being streamlined, but it's not being dumbed down.It's now designed to appeal to a larger audience, but at the same time it won't scare off the previous RPG loving audience away.TES games are not meant to be complicated, they are meant to have huge explorable worlds, with tons of side quests, items and NPC's.Look at my signature. You should see what I'm talking about. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stars2heaven Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 technology wise it was a huge improvement so i dont see the problem here. I agree. Improvements include things like graphics, combat mechanics, and a diversified voice cast as well. The same statement could have been made with no intention of referencing any "mainstreaming" that was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcrin Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 This just in: Game developer thinks their game is great and that you should buy it. More at 11. I wouldn't take vague statements like that to heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimembrain Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 These types of comments are not meant to be read into by the fanbase .. they are press releases and made so that "joe gamer" sees it and thinks "oh! .. I remember oblivion .. its was that massive RPG a few years back that my friends talked about .. derp.. I like vikings too <:P"The obsessive dragon marketing and simple quick quotes like these are made for the general gamer and not the fans .. your reading way way WAY to much into it.
