Well that's a ridiculous argument, as you've pointed out yourself in that comparison.Crono1973 said:I am glad you enjoy fighting the dragons in this game. I enjoy it too, just as much as I enjoy slashing a wolf and it flies a few feet. Nothing special about that dragon avatar.
Sorry are you an accountant by any chance?Crono1973 said:To be even clearer, a rat is a wolf is a lion to me and a dragon is a giant is a mammoth to me. High level enemies and low level enemies are the only two types I see.
Crono1973 said:They break Oblivion if you choose them as Major Skills. If they are minor skills, they are fantastic.kebab4you said:Fair points, EXCEPT for athletics & acrobatics, those broke oblivion(like Morrowind) so bad.
An argument would follow with "Because..." etc. So I wonder; why is that? Just, y'know, curious.wooty said:For me, its the fact that I enjoyed Oblivion wholeheartedly.
Skyrim......I did not.
Thats my argument over with I guess, just need to sit back now and wait for the "your gay" responses to come flying at me again.
They didn't replace the natural skill building, that's still there, you still build your skills as usual, you can just choose extra bonuses with those perks.Crono1973 said:I was afraid that the perks were going to replace the natural skill building. That is not a positive to me.
I agree that there isn't that much different, but weapons did seem to connect a bit better, swings felt more fluid.When the game wasn't lagging, maybe the combat was more fluid. To be honest though, I didn't think the combat was that much different from Oblivion. You hit X, you swing your sword and you hit something. Am I missing something?
Not true, I've seen quite a lot of them already, and that's just in the Novice-Adept range.I have read that there are very few spells to be had.
Uhhh, no? I still fiddled around with plenty of good ol' sliders.Just a bunch of presets. Most of which suck.
It isn't, really. It still suffers from some design flaws, but it's a lot cleaner and responds a lot quicker than Oblivion's.octafish said:Wait, hold up a minute. Skyrim's UI is worse than Oblivion? How is that even possible? Well, a decent UI mod will be the first thing I source for Skyrim when I buy it in three years.
and thats a bad thing.... how?Kahunaburger said:Number of dragons in Oblivion: 0

You hit X, you swing your sword and you hit something. Am I missing something?While I agree the menus need refining I have to say the game was absolutely stunning. the combat was so much more fluid it was insane and I found myself shield bashing my way to victory more times than I can count (much betetr than having to rely on some 10% chance crap like in oblivion)
I have read that there are very few spells to be had.Spells are also greatly developed. While not as Overpowered as melee is when u are at end game I love how diverse the spell system is rather thn oblvions method of shooting different colored orbs everywhere.
Oh boy a different enemy avatar! Could be a cliff racer for all I care.Dragons. Nuff said.
Just a bunch of presets. Most of which suck.Also I found the character creator to be nice and actually functions alot better than in oblivion.
I hope it will grow on me but as of now, I can't agree.For the few negatives I have about skyrim I have to say that the positives outweigh it by a truly insane amount.
So what it really comes down to is personal preference. You don't care about dragons while others, me included, love them. I guess I don't see the point of this thread in that case. If you like Oblivion over Skyrim, then play Oblivion. Case closed, I guess?Crono1973 said:I don't care and I have never cared about the inclusion of dragons. They're pretty weak anyway but let's be clear that dragons could be replaced with any other creature not present in previous TES games and I would have cared the same, none.

That everyone was so hyped that there were dragons in this game, I just never understood.
