Michael Graziano I still don't understand why he thinks merging skills was a good Idea. LISTEN maces, axes and swords ARE NOT THE SAME there are so many other differences other than swing speed. I myself have never used a mace (I used some type of club once but that isn't the same) In my experience an Axe needs to be swung with more strict movements and precise swings, A sword can be used more freely. I think they should have gone with a skill system similar to morrowinds, However I think Short-Blade and longs blade should just be one skill. In my opinion the combat skills should be Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Medium Armor, Blade, Blunt, and Axe. When I saw the skyrim bonus content I just said to myself "why did I watch this this is bassically 5 minutes of bethesda saying fuck you fans".

@eclipsegst9419 Жыл бұрын
Well, some of us that love the older games, hate that some of the new features of the new games, came at the expense of features we loved. Example, Morrowind's menus vs Skyrims. Morrowind, you left click, and everything is in front of you, you can click on whatever you want immediately. Amazing for PCs, bad for console. Skyrims UI is designed to be navigated by joysticks, and its very unintuitive on PC. Morrowind didn't have quest markers. You had to actually glean information from the world to get there. Like asking an NPC, or reading a signpost. It felt more immersive because that's how real life would work. No GPS in Tamriel. And then the dialogue systems. Morrowind's is definitely outdated in its lack of voiceovers or animation, but the basic way it works i think is superior. You ask the person the things you want to know, and that's it. No sitting there and repeatedly listening to something you don't care about, and then picking from 4 answers, repeat, until they actually talk about the thing you wanted to talk about. So yea, If you love those things like some of us do, you miss them. You want that kind of game but with modern graphics and animations, and you find the more linear and simplified games not as immersive or fun.

@@brandenlucero Yup, some people really get hypnotized by nostalgia. When someones says, for example, that Super Mario 64 is an objectively better game than any other Nntendo game ever, you better believe they're nostalgia tripping. Same with Morrowind. It also has to do with comparison. "Comparison is the thief of joy" is what they say, and it couldn't be more true when it comes to games. They always hope that newer games will be similar to their predecessors, which will just set them up for disappointment by not treating the current Elder Scrolls as its own entity.

Everyone just sees the business end of things, but I'll bet most of that comes from Microsoft and Zenimax. Not from Todd and BGS. They have to deal with bad executive decisions just like us fans do, if not a whole lot more. Take your time with TES6, Todd. Skyrim, Fo4, and 76 are still great games.

soulgamer78 Niice definition! A car has wheels! So everything with wheels must be a car as well! right! Bethesda created their own genre, called Hiking simulators. I would eventually call games like Skyrim, Oblivion and Fallout 3 adventure games at best. They make RPGs for people that don't like RPGs. People with no attention span really. Seriously I don't see how Bethesda cares about making RPGs any longer when even their PR guru Pete Hines himself thinks that his own studio's dialogue is so shit he just wants to skip it. It's wonderful to know that this is a position he holds. It's wonderful because of the honesty of it all. - that's sarcasm by the way. To get that kind of confirmation that Hines says: "yup, we can't stand our own dialogue so we just wanna skip it". "I don’t have to wait for this guy to stop talking’. And now I’m playing other stuff, where there’s dialogue and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, I wish I could just walk away’. A position that the whole studio holds. You want to see a proper RPG? Go play Fallout New Vegas. Bethesda making RPGs. RPGs my ass :/

i remember when morrowind came out, it was not as popular and as anticipated title as skyrim for example was, but man, was it a mindblowing game. i was so addicted to it. and great thing is, im also playing it right now in 2017 thanx to mods. and it looks like only few years old game. but nostalgia kicks in the same. with oblivion, already there was cult following, and with skyrim things went out of control, in a good way of course. i also played the first 2 games before morrowind, but i played it casually and didnt care a lot about em in that time. but with release of morrowind, this series became something glorious in my life. i just wish they bring back complexity and tabletop rpg feeling of the morrowind, in the next game. dont get me wrong, i love all 3 titles equally, i could not pick one, but while many things became better with oblivion, and then again even more with skyrim, other things suffered, and got, dare i say "dumbed down". like complexity of gameplay, leveling system, and hardcoreness of the game itself. anyway, im sure when next game gets announcement, it will be the most anticipated title in the video game history (what half-life 3? :P ).

He was actually dumbing down the series, see the interviews he gives or how some talk about him, he is the guy who likes to roam around killing stuff, he does not really care about complexity or depth in games, he only cares about making his character look/feel cool and badass. And he is a liar.

Lucas V it's sad to say, but I agree with you. and it's sad cause I remember playing morrowind and just being absorbed in that world and reading about oblivion just filled me with wonder with all the amazing things they were going to accomplish. Todd Howard was like my hero then. But when oblivion came out, all i saw were the things that weren't there that were promised and the things from morrowind that were silently snuffed out.

Skyrim was greatly executed. Games like these enriches ppls lives. I was hoping to play a role playing game that I actually looked forward diving into. This game hit the spot for me. The leveling up, discovering locations, very rewarding.

so you said "skyrim is an awesome role-playing game, it hit the spot for me", then you said "it got boring after 100hrs" actually play the game through and decide if it's worth it to replay rather than going back on what you said

sillyninja65 It's great now since they've added Tamriel Unlimited! Quite impressive, and also, you must look at it as an MMo before you look at it as an Elder Scrolls game. It's hard to maintain such a high quality when there is millions of players.
@KingCorny939 жыл бұрын
TheCptQuebec millions of people played Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim thus your argument does not make sense at all. World of Warcraft has high quality standarts and I think if a game wears the Elder Scrolls name you should work your arse off to make that game great. It does not have to be perfect but it has to be in a state were you can say "yes it's well made".

+Adam Burgess I played Oblivion first, then Skyrim and only then Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind, and my favourite game is Morrowind. The reason why I personally prefer Morrowind is because it has stronger RPG elements than Oblivion and Skyrim; and exploring Vvardenfell and its culture in Morrowind is more interesting than exploring Tamriel in Arena or Illiac Bay in Daggerfall.

Cenot4ph Let's hope they put some back in the next game. I would love for there to be spell creation, levitation spells, the blade and blunt skill as opposed to one and two handed skill, silver weapons besides from one specific questline, and the ability to smash open locks with weapons.
