Oh, that's the country that makes RPGs much better than Elder Scrolls series right?

That means nearly two weeks of sweet, sweet Skyrim before the apocalypse. I'm okay with this.

Basically wanting to move away from the hardcore RPG aspects. Its unfortunate but the unique leveling system and skill system of the past Elder Scrolls usually detracted from the adventure aspect (whole lotta grinding). We'll see if it works.

So going by the critical success -> more accessible game -> unfocused game resonates with neither core or casuals -> back to critical success life cycle I should skip Skyrim.

Yeah, I'm not convinced that this means Skyrim is going to be terrible and be nothing more than some hack-and-slash FPS, but the way that developer worded his comments just really grated on me because it's everything I hate about this generation.

"More accessible" and "anyone can play" has largely becoming synonymous with stripping out features, dumbing down gameplay, and being easier so that grandma and grandpa can play it.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #257 on:** June 09, 2011, 01:19:11 AM »

I always liked the idea of Morrowind but when I actually played the game I found it to be a bit confusing and dense. In that sense I was exactly the market they were trying to hit with Oblivion.

I liked Oblivion but the extreme level scaling took a lot of the rpg feeling out of the experience. Fix that and I'll most likely be very happy with skyrim.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #258 on:** June 09, 2011, 01:33:15 AM »

I can't really explain why I am such a mark for Bethesda RPGs. I sort of dig the lonely feeling you get in all of them as you're exploring, I enjoy the janky random shit that always happens, I even get a kick out of the awful character potato faces. I always feel like I have gotten my money's worth out of them by the time I have exhausted every nook and cranny of the map. I know pretty much everyone's digging the design/art overhaul for Skyrim, but I keep thinking of progressive rock album covers and wizards airbrushed on the side of vans every time I see a new screen or video. I like it kind of busted, and make no apologies for it.

Himu · « **Reply #261 on:** June 09, 2011, 01:55:57 AM »

My problem with Morrowind is that it doesn't really ease the player into the game. I don't want to be hand held all the time in a game like this, but give me SOME motivation to play. In Morrowind you start out on a ship for god's knows what (I don't remember), and you end up in some random town and you have to figure your way.

I don't like that. At all. And this has impeded on my progress in Morrowind every time I try it.

I really enjoy how Oblivion and Fallout 3 handle it. You're ease into the story, especially in Fallout 3, and given lots of motivation and customization options doing so. It gives you a reason to care, and a reason to want to explore. There's no point in solving the mystery of exploration and enjoying the mystique that is a foreign world if the game does a half assed job getting you motivated to want to explore it.

Before Fallout 3, that was MY problem with Bethesda games.

I'm hoping that after all they've learned with FO3, they'll do a better job in this aspect with Skyrim.

I'm the opposite. I love this sort of "fish out of water" feeling every Elder Scrolls game gives the gamer. The first thing I usually do when I'm off the proverbial (or literal) boat is to explore a nearby town and a general radius around the first area to see if there are any dungeons. Also talking to the townspeople to get a general idea where I stand in the world.

Himu · « **Reply #263 on:** June 09, 2011, 02:37:41 AM »

I really enjoy open-ended gameplay, but I mostly enjoy it when I'm pointed in a specific direction. I don't like being dropped into the game world, I enjoy and crave exposition and being told all options before I make my choice. I don't enjoy completely open gameplay, because that results in lack of direction. I thought that Fallout 3 did both styles excellently. You're suggested to head to Megaton, but you don't HAVE to go to Megaton. At least not immediately.

Bethesda games sell better on 360,Skyrim will do the same,so in reality it's majority over minority.
Besides i don't think that any normal PC player will care about this exclusivity,it will take few patches and few mods to make this game playable as usual...this is Bethesda

So that only leaves sfags

Quote
In an interview with CVG, Bethesda’s Craig Lafferty said that Skyrim has been developed with consoles as the lead target.
The lead producer on Skyrim said: “We use the consoles as our lead SKU… So we develop towards the consoles and then porting to PC is usually not too bad actually .”
The above comments are likely to cause PC gamers a bit of grief, and the next thing on Craig Lafferty’s mind was unlikely to appease them.

“[We wanted to take it and make it really accessible,” the producer said.“… We still have the complexity behind the scenes, but we wanted to make it so that you could pick up the controller and play and it was easy; the average person could get into it…We knew we wanted to make the user interface a little bit more open and available … get away from the stats and things like that.”

Hopefully this doesn’t mean we will be getting a dumbed down version of the RPG, but rather a slicker and more streamlined game. Simplifying RPG’s usually equates to commercial success, but also causes a split in your core audience, as we saw with Dragon Age 2. Bethesda will have to make sure they don’t alienate its established fan base in its quest to please the “average person”.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim releases on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11.

Don't like the fact that enemies show a lack of physical reaction to hits, either. Sadly, seems like one of the few instances where the oft-used Bethesda caveat, "We'll have a mod for that", cannot be applied to. Would be nice if they can 'Dead Island' their combat up a bit.

The finishing moves looks nice and hefty, though. Thank you, Dragon Age, for that.
