Brittainy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Must add a few more things: Likes: DragonsBandits and certain other things not attacking you if you stay awayLock-picking Dislikes: Finishing moves. (f*** me dead, can't we at least turn them off? I just want to get on with things, not draw them out when killing a single wolf.) Also, regarding the ugliness of the characters, I think my biggest problem is that Bethesda seems to stick with a specific look for everyone and it's always wrong. In Oblivion everyone had a fat face - in Skyrim everyone is gaunt. The Elves look like aliens from a cheap horror movie. I don't want the Manga look for my characters. But I DO want a look that isn't so damnably offensive to the eye. Or rather, I should say that I want the ability to create whatever kind of look I want. Oblivion and Skyrim lock you in to a system which allows for minimal change or improvement to your character. The Sims 2 is almost 8 years older than Skyrim and its facial sliders and character creation s*** all over Skyrim's ones. Hell, even Oblivion - which had an atrocious character creation system - had more options than Skyrim. Now, people can argue that we're lucky to get a character creation system at all: I heartily disagree. I've waited 20 years or more to have it and there is no excuse for NOT having one in a game made in this day and age. Skyrim has good and bad points. The lucky people find that the good outweigh the bad. The unlucky ones - like myself - find that the bad far outweigh the good. :happy: Edited December 19, 2011 by Brittainy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallsOFyre Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I like the fact that the world is truly open for adventuring where you want to, when you want to. You can scale most of the mountians, access hidden areas- it really feels like you are exploring a physical place. I like the logical approach of the environment. I would rather see a consistant and "realistic" place rather than one that mixes jungles next to the arctic climes. I like the beauty of the land. Bethesda is tops at creating an interactive, natural world to visit. I enjoy most of the more "streamlined" interface elements of Skyrim compared to the earlier games. I like Bethesda's writers sense of humor and their tendencies to toss in the unexpected from time to time. I like the attention to detail in the books and interesting written items...one of Bethesda's strong suits, again. **** I dislike the lousy conversation "trees" that offer zero choices. I hate the lack of some sort of paperdoll option to let me really look over my character if I choose. I despise the lack of moral judgement of my character's actions within the world. I want to see my good and evil actions matter more. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcedwan Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The thing about the elves looking more like sci-fi-aliens is really true. But I guess that falls under the category matter of taste.But there's another thing which is an objective problem: Skyrim being a console port. Now it may be too much to ask for if someone wanted TES to be pure PC-Games (alas), but at least Bethesda should for example provide bigger sound files for the PC-version. The audiocompression in this one is really painfull, especially if one uses headphones. Just listen to the slowed down crashing sound for certain finishing moves. I hope there'll be a mod to remove those cheesy slowmotion effects. (Is there allready perhaps?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
