Zeggy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I feel there is no question about the difference in quality with skyrim winning on graphics and game play, however i feel there are a lot less variations in weapon and ammunitions. In oblivion you could find arrows on enemies (vampires ect) that had effects that caused explosions or similar and a hughe varitey of weapons in the game. Perhaps because there are not so many great mods for skyrim just yet as i used to play oblivion with great mods such as busy highways or thieves arsenal ect.s Skyrim just feels that little bit less varitey..any one agree?

fenderkid8 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sigh. This again?OP is just discussing things, which if I'm not mistaken, is the very purpose of forums. Instead of leaving comments that contribute nothing, you could have simply ignored the thread. OT: I haven't noticed much difference in weapon variation, though I play a marksman/trapper type build which means I only really use bows and sometimes poisoned arrows.

Rennn Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) I'll have to disagree. Arrows perhaps, Oblivion had more of (and that's only due to re-skins). Other than that, Skyrim has more variety. Skyrim's dungeons are more unique, there are just as many weapons, if not more, there is more armor, and npc's (though there are fewer) are much more unique. Generally, Skyrim is bigger and better. Edited November 18, 2011 by Rennn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btasty Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) In truth, Skyrim has been very streamlined compared to Oblivion. We don't have stats anymore (besides health, mana, stamina), you cannot create your own spells and enchantment has been significantly simplified. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing. As gamers we have to realize that the video game industry is a business and needs to make money. They are going to try to appeal to as many people as possible which means not throwing a bunch of numbers in their face as soon as the game starts. At least with bethesda they recognize that most people that buy Skyrim for the pc what more of an rpg than it is, which is why they make a developers kit. We should be fortunate that Bethesda recognizes the creative capacity of modders and gives us the sdk. That's why you buy the pc version, so you can mold the game to your liking. So yes while there may be less variety in Skyrim then oblivion, I bet that within a month of the sdk coming out there will be much much more variety than in Oblivion.
