Anyone else feel like Skyrim is about to begin?

If by begin you mean going from a game to an ALL OUT FUN BOX WHERE WE CAN SCREW WITH EVERYTHING WOOT

I suddenly sense the incoming presence of many, many joke mods being created in the very near future.

I give it a month before we have at least one complete overhaul mod that sets the standards for future overhauls...then another month before we combine all the overhaul mods into one ungodly mod.

Skyrim by itself is not a great game; Most games these days aren't great games. But then you add modding support and boom, your game's lifespan will, at the bare minimum, double, if not more.

 

Games that offer extensive modding support (such as all of Bethesda's games) seem to be only created as a base for modders, because the games themselves aren't always that great, to be honest (I'm not saying games like Fallout 3 or Skyrim are bad, just that their were definite improvements that could've been made during initial development).

 

Also, I understand that Skyrim's visuals may not be as good as every other game on the market today, but I've always considered it to be a trade-off: Would you rather the developers spend more time fiddling with the graphics, or more time with the gameplay or storyline?

 

We might one day play games that actually look real, but if they're not fun to play, what does it matter? Games are meant to played, not just watched (which is still an aspect, of course).

 

Sorry, I'v got to call you on that; skyrim's gameplay and storyline are both pretty weak. What was done well was creating an immersive and vibrant background environment.
