Your #1 dislike about Oblivion?

Recommended Posts

the NUMBER ONE thing I want fixed is...

shoddy modders!

 

yes, i am serious,... I got so sick of downloading a mod that should only be 5k bytes or so and see'ing it as over 2 megabytes and thinking to myself "wtf?" because some idiot compressed all scripts.

then you try telling them this on their mod page, and they dont get it! ...some people should not be modding...(you know who you are! *points angry finger*)

 

so, I am basically dreading a repeat of this because of complete noobs releasing buggy work without a word of warning or even checking their own work for that matter...

 

Breaking ten lockpicks on a very hard locked chest to find a lockpick inside it.

^^ and this

 

speaking as a modder apprentice, working towards mastership, everybody who wants to be a modder has to start somewhere.

 

-Only by trial and error does anybody get good at modding these games. at times your going to want to beat your head against the wall. :wallbash:

 

- At one point or another you probably have overlooked a bug or two when you released a mod, everybody has. :biggrin:

 

- what i didn't like about oblivion was level scaling, and the physic guards. how did they know i stole from the priest!!! :psyduck:

Everyone's covered it pretty well. I think my gripe about Oblivion--albeit I had fun and liked it anyway--was the excessive hand-holding and lack of depth. they just sort of phoned in most of the quests and dialogue. Even so, I still enjoyed it.

This too.

 

I hope skyrim lets you do quests more morrowind style, where you have to do some research into them and not just follow a marker.

Where to start...

 

1.) As many said NPC's pretty much everything about them. The voice acting the was sub par and the dialogue was more than dissapointing. If you stood in a town for 10 minutes you could easily tell they were scripted their actions. Stealing was to simple I just had to run out of sight and grab something and nothing happened. There was no real life to the world in my opinion. I want to see people shopping.

 

2.) Dungeons/Caves etc.. Was so boring finding the same stuff and bad guys in every single dungeon every time I hoped to find something special and would leave disappointed.

 

3.) The guilds most of them were boring, dark brotherhood and theives guild were maybe the best but still felt like there was no gift to being in charge of the groups other than that mask which made everything way to easy and was kinda a joke. Way to overpowered.

 

4.) Vampires, I mean not drinking blood made them more of a vampire?? That was wierd to me, and there should be far more hatred and hunters after you for just being a vampire. Able to turn some people but it has a risk to it.

 

5.) Leveling system, enemies leveled with you no real challenge to the whole game .. yawn...

 

6.) Archery, I want wind and weather to effect my shots so im not making 300 foot shots no problem right into the head of the badguy.

 

7.) Magic while it was ok I want to feel powerful as a mage, feel like my spells are earth shaking and that was just not apparent.

 

8.) Consequences to your actions, They had them to a point but i want there to be a far bigger reason to stay away from jail than a simple jailbreak or sleep on bed and be released.

 

9.) Moving economy, I want to see traders come and move around product so i cant just sell a sword i found come back 30 days later and guess what Its still there!

 

10.) Better home customization, ability to people your weapons in the weapon racks, and place objects properly on tables etc..

 

I could go on forever, but it doesn't matter till i get to play skyrim and see how much they have improved.

 

You'll be seriously disappointed in Skyrim. I mean you have huge expectations. You want spells to be earth shaking? It can't be done! Actually most things you said can't be done.

You guys have so high demands. Was there ever any game that was perfect? Every game has something you don't like. And everyone has something to complain about. But if you instead focus on the things you like from a game and not mind all the bad crap you'll really enjoy a game. If you start complaining about what you don't like I think you'll be disappointed at EVERY game.

 

 

I found Baldur's Gate 2 to be nearly perfect without mods, and simply the best game ever made and possibly ever will be made with mods.

Morrowind immersed you into a world so different than Oblivion. When you started off in Morrowind you truly felt like you were at the bottom and had to work your way up, and you did. Oblivion was so easy and lacked so much depth Morrowind had. The lack of depth in the main story, the guilds, the factions, and exploration in Oblivion was a huge let down.

 

The bright side is they're bringing so much of the feel of Morrowind into Skyrim, I'm excited=]
