What is your least favorite thing about Skyrim.

I hate how you can get stuck in impossible to get out of places, forcing you to load a save. Saving is a part of gaming, but it shouldn't be due to amateur level design. Especially from a 50$ pc game. Bethesda won't be getting my money again until they get their act together.

 

It's pretty lame how the finishing moves have ZERO blood too.

I've just heard all their lines too many times already...

Enemy and player damage scaling. Mages are so freakishly powerful against the player. Don't even get me started on the archers with their headshots and arrows in other places (not just the knee). Add in the fact that magic doesn't scale and you can easily reach infinite casting by (arguably) expoiting the whole enchanting/smithing/alchemy trinity and you've got a great recipe for (imo) poor balance.

THERE'S NO BATTLES!

There's suppose to be a war going on, where are the battles for territory? Don't give me the "Follow the Civil War quests" killing 10 NPCs that are designed to die in one hit as they run up a hill isn't a war...

 

 

I agree with everything else you named, but there are random skirmishes in the wilderness when you hit the roads. That was one of the pleasant surprises when I already had some agro about the impactless questlines.

 

 

You mean those 3v3 or 4v4 battles? Lol...

My least favorite thing about Skyrim is the sluggish and buggy interface. Your mouse trails behind, and then when you click something, it registers something else. Also, crash-to-desktops, which wasn't fixed by LAA for me.

 

 

Open the SkyrimPrefs.ini file (where your saves are stored) with notepad and find the line that says

 

bMouseAcceleration=1

 

Change the value to 0

 

bMouseAcceleration=0

 

and save.

 

 

That removes the floating mouse delay.

 

Another good tweak is to remove the discrepancy between the x and y axes on the mouse movement.

Just add the following below the bMouseAcceleration=0

 

fMouseHeadingYScale=0.0100

fMouseHeadingXScale=0.0100

 

I dont really understand those weird default settings. The bow is my main weapon but when trying to aim at a moving target it feels like you're intoxicated with severe loss of muscle coordination. If thats supposed to be realism I wonder in what state the folks at Bethesda show up for work every morning.

All the children appear to be born with a North American accent. I can only assume, owing to the lack of teenagers ingame, that once a denizen of Skyrim reaches puberty they are sprirted away to boarding school to be taught how to speak with a Scandinavian accent like their parents.

 

Personally I love the game - so much I spent £150 upgrading my gfx card to get the most out of it.

 

Yes the speech menus are f**king annoying, not least because of the clumsy anti-PC interface, but its escapism, I don't want to know the life story of the man with the cabbage stall - I want to go and kill sh*t. Looking at other popular posts on here it seems most people just want to go around commiting genocide everywhere - why worry about an NPCs social skills when you're just going to slaughter him?

 

I like that there's only one route up a mountain to a dingle or grotto. It wouldn't be a mountain otherwise - it would be a hill. Besides there's often many strange delights to discover while you try to navigate the wrong dface of said escarpment.

 

The alchemy system is a massive improvement - the only way you discover an ingredients attributes is by experimenting. - not by going up a level. Smithing is better, now i don't have to weigh myself down with hammers when on a dungeon crawl.
