I'm saying that nicely, as I enjoy Elder Scrolls as a whole, but I think Skyrim really didn't capture the Nordic feel as well as Conan the Barbarian. It's not like I can read the writing on a computer or TV screen very well, anyway, and the dialogue options only lead down one road-"DO YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THIS QUEST!?" Well, duh! I guess I'm gonna take it, if I want the fucking game to progress, after all! :/ Heh. That way, we get more of a 'Dark Souls' approach to dialogue, where less is more, and I can just focus on stats & exploration, which is the core of a dungeon crawling experience, anyway. With that approach, the story and dialogue writing actually turn me off more than they help, and I would like the game decently if they just chose to Focus on Adventure elements exclusively, and forego the storytelling. It's not like it's anything more than generic, "Save the King!" type nonsense. I think, with the quality of Bethesda writing, they should just stick with an open-world MMO approach, Sandbox more often, and simply give up on Storytelling altogether. I play them to explore, much like an open Adventure Game, Period. Even Oblivion managed that one, Chrissakes! :/Īlso, I don't give half of a rat's ass for Story in Elder Scrolls games. I'm not sure if this is fixed later on in the game, but most of them unrolled like a ball of yarn that I've explored so far-just one long tunnel, from one end to the other, no branching pathways or labyrinths like earlier games. That said, the dungeons in Skyrim seemed pretty linear. On top of that, the XBAWKZ stupidity of releasing DLC earlier is terrible for a Cross-platform game, and I ended up, in retrospect, enjoying Dark Souls a whole lot more than Skyrim.
I should have waited for GOTY edition, as it will have ALL the DLC, patches will iron out the bugs (including the LATE one, we are only on 1.06 on PS3 right now + the Lagg problem, which they took their sweet time fixing!).
Precisely, because I only have a Netbook at present, so I can focus on older games, and it doesn't have the capability to play ESV. I bought Skyrim for PS3, and now I'm going to have to wait it out. Bethesda are making terrible marketing choices right now.
