I agree. The game was more exciting when I was struggling to afford some decent weapons and armor. Now I'm swimming in gold (nearly 40,000 last I checked) and I've bought everything I really need.Jack and Calumon said:As weird as this sounds, one that makes you level up more slowly.
Really, the highlight of my gaming was when I was pinching septims and working the woodcutting. Now I'm level 38 and I have rather too much money.
Also, like Yahtzee said in the credits to his review, a hardcore survival mode. MAKE me use that food, please! I'll love the game more if this happens and will cheer me up immensely, since what I would actually like a game when it's basically a Sim game of life in Skyrim when you're a traveller and trying to earn your keep. YES I HAVE STRANGE DESIRES!
Calumon: Can they take out the violence so Jack will let me play it? : (
As for a "hardcore" mode, I'm sure the modding community will come up with something. There have been similar numerous mods for Morrowind and Oblivion, so it's only a matter of time before Skyrim gets the same treatment.
What I'd like to see is a mod that fleshes out the player's cooking ability a bit more. Make cooking a skill with its own constellation. Possible perks could be things like increasing food's healing effectiveness, learning more recipes and reducing the quantity of ingredients needed for more complicated dishes.
