That game sucked. It also had a good enough community and toolset to be one of the best playing experiences in the genre. | ||

Shouldn't it be "thank you, modders, for fixing all of the hideous flaws this game has"? Where did I say I thanked Bethesda for the mod SkyRe? I thanked Bethesda because of Skyrim, because of the fact that even after two years and many playthroughs, the game is still so much fun. | ||

Maybe it's the way I play but the game play gets broken (too easy) pretty quick and I end up quitting. If I play stealth: Just use a bow and 1 shot everything cross map. EZPZ If I don't play stealth: Well I'll just level smithing to get the next weapon/tempering grade into well I'm now 91 smithing and I have legedendary Daedric weapon. Well I'm still not killing fast enough. Get another 100% DMG or so from enchanting. It happens every damn time. Also haggling level 1 is the most important perk in the game by far. E: Also always picking stamina when I level up... | ||

Use Deadly Combat, Asis, Path of Shadows, Dragon Overhaul and cry until you realise you have to have a sidekick to absorb some damage or you can't do anything. | ||

E: Also always picking stamina when I level up... This is honestly why I stopped playing the game. It looks awesome, and in theory, the "do what you want, and get skill points, develop a class that fits your playstyle" sounds appealing, but due to how the game scales the difficulty, it's nonsensical to follow. Instead, you're pretty much forced to adapt the pre-destined optimal paths which you described, at elast if you want to play on proper difficulties. There's of course also the problem of how armor works. If you go a stealth path or bow path, you won't level armor skills much, unless you specifically go out of your way to do so. This will come back and bite you seriously in the butt later on, especially in story-related quests where stealth is no longer an option. I dunno. I've always loved the TES games, but if the designers intend on giving the players as much freedom as possible to develop their unique character builds, then this system doesn't really cut it once you've progressed a bit into it. That's my main gripe with the game, in any case - the suggestion of freedom being watered down to coercion of limited choice. This game is still the most beautiful Norway simulator, however. Gonna reinstall and grab some mods during christmas. ;3 | ||

that is the point its all about the illusion of choice. Like you said if they truthfully wanted all paths to viable you would have a "non combat" option much like Dishonored does with stealthing/incapication. Instead the game has moments where literally the only option you have is fight, even though as a stealther you should have skills that blind/create distractions allowing you to escape. | ||

Sorry I didn't realize YOU HAVE TO INSTALL MODS. It seriously speaks to how shitty a game is that you have to install umpteen mods to get it worthwhile. Yet everyone praises skyrim lololol. | ||

So yes, you personally have to use mods to modify the game that your ideas for the gameplay are realized. I suggest something like stealthtools, maybe a stealth overhaul. the game has 40k players online right now, 2 years after release. I doubt its shitty. | ||

LOL how many are playing the base game with no mods? The numbers mean nothing, it is shitty if the only reasonable way to fix the problems with the base game is to install a bunch of 3rd party mods. You still haven't addressed that point. Btw, I hate playing stealth class, thanks for making another one of your assumptions that to me make you look like a rabid fan boi. I said it was an "illusion of choice" which once again you haven't addressed, I even gave you an example of a game that did it right. So instead of saying "well install this mod it makes the game better" or "you want x so do y", why not address these 2 points: If the game is so bad and unplayable at the base level that the community has to make its own fixes, how does that not make the game a giant pile of buggy crap? If they wanted us to truly "play and go where you want" why do they pigeon hole us into fighting repeatedly, like "stealth" for instance, that works similar to dishonored where you can stealth and play literally the whole game without ever killing someone? I even made them bold so you'd see. Kk thx bai. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I even made them bold so you'd see. Kk thx bai. Grow up. I played the game from start to finish with a good portion of the side/optional quest lines finished. The game was fine. I didn't need a trillion mods to make it enjoyable, nor do I doubt that mods make the experience both vastly different and/or improved. In fact I took a long break from completing the main story line, forgot about the main story line multiple times, then realized the game did in fact had a main story line and I should probably wrap it up. I find it funny that you decide to use Dishonored as an example when that game's overall implementation of its mechanics is a damn joke. The illusion of choice is pretty every single game, not sure why you are harping on Skyrim. It's like you actually bought into the hype... | ||
