abaris Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I think, OP, you have brought up a fundamental problem with open ended games. There's quite a difference between open world with no time limit to explore and an open ended game. I played the TES games since Morrowind and once beating the main quest I canned that particular character. Why would the Nerevarine - a godlike person by all accounts - go out and join a particular guild to be treated again as a newbie? Why would the hero of Cyrodil do that? Open world is fine, but there should be an end - just like with Fallout New Vegas. You're not pushed into the final confrontation. But you know, once you go there, its the point of no return.

CasperTheLich Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 my first character a level 76 darkelf. started as a stealthy type, but morphed into a stealthly dual sword melee fighter , then stealthy fighter + pocket mage.second char started as a nord in heavy armor wealding a claymore and at level 40 something... still is mostly. added master enchanter too him. (stopped using him cause he's at the point in the main quest where you start killing dragons, my dragons are broke)my newest char is a female brenton, resembling a spellsword in light armor. she's just hit lvl 20 (i'm avoiding the MQ with her till dragons aren't broke)i stopped using my first char too because she lives for dragon hunting, not quite so fun when the dragons don't die. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its limiting indeed. I kind of wanted to join allegiance with the Falmer and lay siege to Skyrim, butchering all who oppose us...but sadly I could not :( Edited December 4, 2011 by Jakeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
