Skyrim will suck for you...

[kazeryu]

I hope the mana in skyrim is much better. because in oblivion when I casted an high level spell(75 fire damage range: 10 foot) my mana bar was almost completly empty. and that is with every skill and ability level 100

btw sorry if my spelling is a mess I'm dyslectic (and yes I googled it)

The only thing that still concerns me is the fact that there's a chance that the map will have too much snow.
Snow's call and all, but it often gets uninteresting to look at if you spend too much time in it in games.
Hopefully there'll be lots of variety to Skyrim's landscape though...

From what I've seen, Elder Scrolls fans won't like Skyrim. The game has that "REACHING NEW AUDIENCES LOL!" feel to it. DA2 did the same thing and look how well that turned out.

Very much how I feel. I'm not so much worried that it might not turn out to be a good game, so much as I a worried that it won't be a good Elder Scrolls game.

Reaching new audiences also can result in fixing problems in games. I can't play Morrowind because of hooooowwwwww slllloooooowwwwwwwww yoooooouuuuuuuuu mmoooooooovvvvvvvve. Minutes to get across town? F. Dat. Make that shit accessible. Make it playable.

Streamlining isn't a bad idea, when the previous incarnations were bogged down with useless crap. Not useless as in 'Well, taking skill in heavy armor's not so good for a mage character' type stuff, but I mean useless as in 'If you take speechcraft, things will level up faster and you will die because speechcraft doesn't kill things that need killing.' or 'hand to hand fighting'.

A good rpg system will be lacking in traps, and making it accessible is only good. This is something Dragon Age 2 did -right- and the motions towards accessibility were not that game's flaws.

Since im not planning on using the fasttravel (to much) I dont want to stop and fight a dragon every ingame kilometer travelled either.

2 things on this point, 1st, you can decline a fight with a dragon, if you see one and it sees you, you turn and leave or proceed and attack. Also, in one of those 3 hour hands on previews I read that there is a Caravan fast travel system, that is amazing because you pay 20 gold and it takes you to your destination, so it keeps the system immersive.

Let us hope, it's the best installment in the series. See you in 3 weeks forum.

Im fairly oke with avoiding the occasional dragon by going around it, but it would be a bit of a problem if im not using fasttravel and i really need to get to a town to sell my loot.
Guess it comes down too: As long as the dragons dont turn up like oblivion-gates everywhere, it will be manageable.
Dont really know if im all that happy with the mentioned caravansystem, if it's just between towns, that is perfectly fine with me (like Stiltstriders) It would be kind of weird to ask a caravaner to drop me off in that hard to reach, snowy mountaintop with a dungeon entrance where nothing else is going on middle of nowhere.

No, the caravan system only works like the stiltstriders, from town to town.

Quite simply, if this game is only half as good as it looks, it'll still be more than worth our time.

 

[GonzoGamer]

It's going to be nigh broken at launch (completely broken on the ps3) so I'm not even going to bother with it for at least a few months. I'll probably just wait for goty.

If the game has either this -

Or this -

I'll do what I did with Fallout 3, New vegas AND oblivion; Turn it the fuck off, uninstall it and never ever play it again.

Seriously, I bought all three of those games, those glitches happened to me and I just quit. They freak me out really bad, so there's three games I was really really having a good time on that I've never played since.

=(

those damn spiders...

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

Pretty sure nothing will, If there is the answer is simple, Mod it yourself or wait untill someone else does.

this is the general beauty of bethesda, they make decent vanilla games, and modders mod it to hell and back into all its glory.

so yeah, this game can't possibly disappoint me. (also i have lower standards than alot of elitists...so i don't get disappointed to easily.)

AWESOME FEATURES

Did I hit some kind of soft spot to you? Do comparisons to Dark Souls really piss you off, jeez. If the enemy AI is half as good as Dark Souls, Skyrim will be better then Oblivion.

Yeah, the comparisons do piss me off due to how many douchey DS fans have been doing it as of late. We get it, you want to seem cool by toting your OMG HARDCOAR game above the ? mainstream? pick Skyrim. Shut the hell up about it already.

...but it's ok for you to be a huge douche about TES? Sorry that I'm not sucking on Bethesda's dick and responding to the OPs question. Next time I'll send you a PM so you can decide whether my opinion is valid or not.

TES is a very bland and boring game that only redeeming factor is it's environment and pretty graphics (which isn't even well thought out, where did the food come from in Oblivion? I certainly didn't see any farmland nor livestock).

where did the food come from in Oblivion? I certainly didn't see any farmland nor livestock).

There was farmland and livestock. To name a few, Skingrad had grapes, Anvil has potatoes, corn stalks, grapes, pumpkins, tobacco plants, and tomato plants. And there were farms with crops. http://images.uesp.net/0/00/OB-place-Odiil_Farm.jpg

Venison, deer in the woods, mutton, the sheep, rat meat (rats derrr) the only one that doesn't fit is beef, because there isn't any cows. But still, imports. There are so many neat quests, going into a painting, dealing with a haunted house, finding the lighthouse place with all the dead animals and the homage to Friday the 13th. Bland? Pfft.

Try picking up the game and playing it for a bit.

Repetitive dungeons. 120+ dungeons isn't really a selling point if they all look like this

I remember the haunted house, but where do you get the lighthouse and painting quests?

The first Skyrim review is out, it sounds a bit different than expected:

As long as modding is friendly, and I can substitute in a mod for something I dont like, than just about any problem I have with it can be overlooked; unless, you know, its a bug that makes my PC explode in lava or something.

I'm sorry, i'm not able to look at that video from where I'm typing now, but surely a website that reviews a game months before it comes out isn't able to examine it properly? I just kind of want to know the point, that review is from August, is it on the demo copy?

I remember reading somewhere that all the dungeons like that in Oblivion were designed by one person, and in Skyrim they're done by 8 people...so youll experience 8 times less of the repetitiveness ha ha

I think the only things that will annoy me are some of the changes to the menus (minor I know) but it takes away from the overall atmosphere unlike the menus in oblivion like inventory and maps not the title screen stuff. But in game wise the only thing I can think of is that because you can use nothing but magic if you choose I've got a feeling that you will constantly run out of stuff (forgot what its called in oblivion I do want to say magicka to cast spells with
