All Skyrim needs is...

[hazabaza1]

Less criticisms about it's "Not an RPG" or "Boring Dragon Fights" or "It's not an Elder Scrolls game!" or "It has a bad story/ending" or "It's not MY game wahhhhhh!"

All Skyrim needs is for those people to go away.

"This game would be better if people stopped criticizing it."
lolwut

Seriously, I actually like Skyrim, but this makes no fucking sense.

Read the next post I made, I'll edit my previous one.

My comment still applies, just sayin'.

a Smurf mod. You run around killing Gargamels cat as a Smurf. There I win.

...May I make a suggestion?

Play a different game. If you're not having fun, then why would you play it? Or just hunt around for some mods that might work for you.

all skyrim needs is some more faction quests for the foresworn and something other than law privileges when you are thane of every hold.

My last playthrough I rollplayed as a member of the foresworn, dang that armor really protects for the amount of skin my female nord is showing off!

I think it would be cool if you could select which instakill animation you would perform. I got the perk to decapitate people, but it only uses it once out of every 20 times.

SPOILER: I would also like an option to side with Paarthunax in that one Blades quest instead of killing him. END SPOILER

Also, why is there no bacon in this game? Or pigs for that matter?

Honestly the only thing I really disliked about Skyrim is that you have no real motivation for doing anything. There's absolutely zero urgency. Dragons are a distraction for bored town guards, not the end of the world. It barely picks up at all until the very end when boss dragon guy decides to eat nord heaven because he can't beat the living ones.

I can understand why, playing through Oblivion, the main questline was super important and it felt really bizarre that you could ignore it for a bit and the world not immediately catch on fire. I never liked that either. But doing the exact opposite isn't very ideal either.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

TES4 had some GREAT quests that weren't all 'kill everything in catacombs A/B/C/Z'.

Skyrim has more. I think people forget what they spent most of their time in Oblivion doing. Oblivion was a goddamn awful Elder Scrolls, I never would have believed in a million years there would be anything like nostalgia for it.

All Skyrim needs the ability for my to marry Lydia.

What? She's perfect for the dragonborn! Besides, the game's been out for a while now, I'm pretty sure the bug should've been fixed by now.

You can marry Lydia now.

Also many of the quest bugs have been fixed

Not to my knowledge. Last time I played (a week after Dawnguard came out) she was still impossible to marry. Unless they fixed it really recently, I don't think it works.

It was in one of the patches

Ah yes it was added in the 1.5 patch. here's the information on it [http://ca.ign.com/articles/2012/03/20/skyrims-15-update-out-now-on-steam]

More enemy variety. Not just having bandits and Draugr over and over again, despite them all being the same.
Wuest variety, past "gather enotombed treasure #4712".
Character depth. Any depth at all would be nice.
Honestly, it's high time that TES got a complete engine overhaul. Why? Because Skyrim, and all of Bethesda's games could use one thing: Complex facial animations. I can't care about characters if they all stand straight up with perfect posture, and all have a frozen face past their mouths.

 

[TaintedSaint]

boss fights needed. better combat mechanics. Love TES games though.

Bethesda games need a better variety of "monster" in general. One thing I wanted to carry over from Fallout into Skyrim is the Charisma/Intimidation system. In TES, reasoning with people is pitifully nonexistent at best. I wish I could walk into a "Bandit's cave" and convince them to put their weapons down, or for them to convince me to leave. In Skyrim, bandits are just another class of "monster".

It would be better if enemies actually "yield" like they say they do;
"Well then, jolly good fight sir. It was indeed an honorable combat, and I hereby accept your yield. I shall sheathe my sword and hold my Thu'um. Now if you'll just let me pass... oh, you're getting up again.. are you... Sir. Sir, you are raising your sword? What.. okay."

I also wish Fallout would add more to this gameplay mechanic. Using guile, logic, cheating, lies to conquer the enemy when you don't want to fight, or if you just want to employ something other than "stabby shooty" from your arsenal. Convince the bandits you're on their side, then spend the next 24 hours poisoning their food supply, etc.

Aside from that, I'd like "champion monsters" too, that would be cool. I'd also like huge enemies sometimes. I want to swim out to an island and be met with a towering hyrda-behemoth thrice the size of a dragon that scares the shit out of me, sending me running home to my sweet rolls and fire.

You know what would improve Skyrim other than fixing every glitch and bug? It's called implementing Rogue-like and randomly-generated elements in between missions. But that of course would be a dream that will never be the solution because to me the combat is beyond saving.

Let me answer every single one of these complaints with one simple phrase: There's a mod for that.

No seriously, the modding community is utterly HUGE and is very likely to have something to address whatever complaint you may have with the game.

 

[Risingblade]

You know what Skyrim needs? Another Oblivion Crisis. Daedra everywhere!

I would be totally sold if you could mess with the environment like you can in BRINK in the middle of combat. Jumpin over all that stuff or kicking off trees or sliding along the ground would be pretty sexy.

This is why I play Dark Souls. Killing shit is much, much more rewarding.

There's a mod that changes the gameplay or the combat itself?

 

[AT God]

I didn't like Skyrim either, I did spend a lot of time with it but I couldn't stick with it to the end. Still play it occasionally on Steam and am going to start again when I find some of the better mods.

All my complaints are probably addressed through mods but for you console-ers, I really hate the combat system. The melee is just terrible, first person melee is hard but a big company should do better than a melee system of strike and dodge/block, needs combos, counters, its just horribly basic.

I completely agree there need to be some extremely strong bosses. And by strong, I don't mean ones that can kill you in two seconds, but ones that require strategy to take down. All the enemies in Skyrim just need to be attacked with basic attacks to kill, and most of them die fast, difficulty just determines how much health they have and how much damage they do, on the highest difficulty they need higher functions.

I think adding Rogue elements wouldn't help, the dungeons are so samey and boring I can't even bother to clear all the ones they already set up in the game.

Maybe, just MAYBE, theres people like me that would want actual quality content from the real devs of the game instead something a fan made in their little time. I am not saying they are not capable, or that mods suck, but some people, some, SOME DAMNED PEOPLE, actually DONT want mods! I am sorry, but really is that HARD to understand?


A 100% no mods pc gamer here. (Ok more like 95%... Mods that fix game breaking bugs when the devs have done nothing to it, welcome. Everything else: Nope, rether wait for the actual devs for it).


Again, this is all IMO. If you like mods, go ahead and mod your game to hell and back. I wont kill you or anything for it probably, so yeah.

 

[Woodsey]

All Skyrim needs is to be more like Oblivion.

No, I'm serious.

TES4 had some GREAT quests that weren't all 'kill everything in catacombs A/B/C/Z'.

Morrowind's freeform-ness + Oblivion's quests + Skyrim's world design = a recipe for a hard-on.

Well, yeah. They're free. And a lot of them are quite excellent. You're acting like he pulled his dick out and slapped you in the face with it, when in reality there's really no reason to be "RAH NO MODS", especially when you're dealing with something with a community like Skyrim's.
