abaris Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 . Even the "guild" quests are lame. I remember in Oblivion how awesome they were. Well, they weren't. Not really anyway. So far its still fun to go out exploring. The quests in Elder Scroll games were always kind of lame and linear and I tend to avoid them in Skyrim. If I don't do anything major, I don't have to deal with immersion breakers such as people hailing long dead folks or insulting comments from your underlings. And I really think it all boils down to non reacting NPCs. They are scripted and don't give a rats if you just crawled out of the gutter or rule pretty much every guild there is to rule. My hope was, especially after all the games Bethesda published these last few years, that quests and NPCs would be dynamic with a changing world to show the effects of your efforts.

Jarfer Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm bored to tears. I breathlessly await the release of more major mods, but after completing the main questline, completing a faction war, and finishing several guild missions, you get your fill and move on to the next game.

daventry Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Im starting to get bored of Skyrim with all the broken Quests and Bugs and Crashes, the Game has become stale. Miscellaneous Quest Items doesent seem to be important as Quest Items, thus makes certain areas Impossible to complete. Ive played the Game Twice now to try and avoid the Bugs, but they just seem to be coming along for the ride. I Love Skyrim, but the Game is just to Broken up.

Gruff Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm very very happy that the game seems a bit dull after spending way too much time with it ;-) I think it has had many more clever surprises than Oblivion. But it isn't a world I would like to live in, like in Oblivion. The house in Anvil, a modded house in a ship in a tree, I still long for these. But perhaps it is possible to build a warmer, brighter village somewhere with the CK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Funny how fanboys usually say Skyrim is better than Oblivion because you can't enjoy playing Oblivion without any mods installed... when in fact even vanilla Oblivion is more varied, stable and enjoyable than Skyrim, with or without those "patches" up to 1.3.

crudius Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 god no.... Different strokes i suppose. I find myself just staring at the map and just being lost on where to go and what to do next (same as OB)....so i stop and go and take part in RL for a while.Then back into it with that renewed wanderlust. Hope you find something that you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyg0tic Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 What bores me is the utter silliness of how they haven't made it so NPCs actually know whats going in the world apart from guards saying "oh you saved us thanks". Like Ive just finished the main quest again, so I go to the Stormcloak recruitment guy and he tells me to go kill an ice wraith? Im supposed to be the Dragonborn whos just defeated Alduin and he is telling me to go kill my 10 millionth ice wraith? That sort of thing after beating the main quest is so terrible and has broken the game for me. Skyrim does a lot of things well, but its NPC reputation/awareness system is really flawed and an immersion killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I personally am against open ended and like the Fallout New Vegas approach a lot better. Take all the time you need exploring and questing, but once you embark on the final journey, it is the final journey. I could never imagine why my hero character should join some wayward guild anyway. Not after having saved the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmmokK Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I´m bored, so i found this thread and ... well ... yeah, i´m kinda bored of Skyrim.After the guildquests were done and the imperials got kicked in their butt (which happened way too fast in my opinion!) and Alduin got killed (also way too easy!) i somehow don´t know what to do. There are still imperial outposts but for some reason i can´t kill their leaders, the Alduin questchain seems not finished (there are named dragons now but somehow the advancement in this questline is really slow) and the "normal" quests, well yeah... they are fun sometimes, i have to admit that ^^Still, i feel like something is missing. Or at least I am missing something. There should be Deadra somewhere, i just haven´t found some yet in over 120 hours of gameplay (exept for some Gods and one or two small quests).Where is the big danger? The world-threathening something? Dragons? Yeah right... Even bears are scarier! I hope the courier will show up soon and tell me something like "Hey, Dragonborn, the Dragons united and are attacking all cities, killing us Nord. We need to unite with the Imperials to kill them. We can´t handle it alone!" I really miss the epicness... Anyway... Back playing Battlefield 3 for now. Pretty sure i will get back ;) Greetz, AmmokK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karasuman Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) Still, i feel like something is missing. Or at least I am missing something. There should be Deadra somewhere, i just haven´t found some yet in over 120 hours of gameplay (exept for some Gods and one or two small quests). Yeah. It's almost as if they said "Ok, we need to make *sure* people know that in this game, Dragons are the main problem, not Daedra, so we'll put so few Daedra in the game that there can be no mistake." I missed the Daedra too (other than the few here and there). That's probably one reason why Skyrim felt a little less "TES"-ish to me.
