Was this a good introduction to Skyrim?

>Imperials accidentally have you on execution bus ride
>"He's not on the list of people to execute"
>"Ehh fuck it, cut his head off"

How was this not supposed to create a bias in choosing sides?

>prisoner memery
>insanely long intro making it so that alt start mods are necessary since the first 30 minutes of any playthrough is "that part"

yea thats a pretty good elder scrolls intro sure but not a good rpg intro tho

It was a good introduction for Skyrim, in the sense that it was fitting--it let you know early on that you'd be in for a whole lot of mediocrity.

>How was this not supposed to create a bias in choosing sides?

I think the part where the Imperial soldier gives you your freedom, helps you escape and gives you a safe place to rest is supposed to mitigate the fact that you got caught up in something a lot bigger than you.

Morrowind did it best, quick opening scene, character creation is the focal point, gives you a few tips and sends you on your way. No need to create drama with a cataclysmic event, just talk to people and find out what's going on.

W/e his name is that helped you was a good guy, but he still knew you weren't meant to be executed and chalked it up to "Sorry."

lol,cuck

/ourguys/ Extra Credits btfo that sequence

it's UNSKIPPABLE JFC

Yes but only the first time around. Pain in the ass after that.

>It was better than Oblivion at least
Are you fucking high? Oblivion's intro was a monologue from a knighted actor, a cinematic that, when it came out in 2006, makes you cream your pants, kino music, and a tutorial sequence that could be skipped on secondary playthroughs. Skyrim is a couple of retards arguing in a wagon, no score, no sweeping introduction to the worldspace, a shitty tutorial section, and no way to skip it (without modding) if you want to start a new character.

Of course, the same argument (mostly) applies to Anduin...

>and a tutorial sequence that could be skipped on secondary playthroughs

No it can't. Or are you referring to keeping a save from right before exiting the sewers?

>No it can't. Or are you referring to keeping a save from right before exiting the sewers?
Yes. So you are retarded.

Well, I can make a save after the opening of Skyrim too. Big deal.

Ulfric Stormcloak!
Some here in Helgen may call you a hero, but a hero doesn't use a power like The Voice to murder his king, and usurp his throne!

You started this war, plunged Skyrim into chaos, and now the Empire is going to put you down, and restore, the peace!

Jesus Christ. Do you have any braincells? Have you even played the games you're talking about? At the end of Oblivion's tutorial the game allows you to change any of the decisions you made, so on subsequent playthroughs you can load a save, set your race, appearance, and class, and be on your way. In Skyrim, if you want to do a new playthrough, unless you want to play the same race and gender every time, you have to go through the whole introduction and tutorial.

It's alright but too long if you want to start a new game.

>showracemenu

You aren't stupid enough to play Bethesda's games on console, are you?

pay close attention to the guards walking around the city

Dr. Pavel I'm CIA

No, i'd rather something like morrowinds or oblivion, they were short and easy.

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR......

Im pretty sure Oblivions opening was longer than skyrims. sure felt like it at least

>missing the point
Does mommy still dress you? What Oblivion had by design Skyrim requires you to Google, and only works on one of the platforms the game was released on.

Yeah, they look fucking ridiculous. Still a trillion times better than a wagon ride, though.

I preferred it over the carriage, starting a new game and dealing with that shit was annoying. Pretty much an unskippable cutscene that goes on for far too long.

Its memorable just like Jiub and Valen Dreth.

Not to mention half the fucking mods in existence seem to break the scripting for that sequence and make it impossible to actually start the game

It was until I realized I couldn't skip it. Then I really hated it.

Hiring an expensive actor to voice a guy for five minutes doesn't impress me.

not really
>have a framerate higher than 60 or 72
>the cart starts freaking out and going all over the place
>long
its fine for a first time introduction but it really needed an option to skip it, or at least fast foward it

played skyrimvr yesterday on my shitty vr headset, even though it has a better resolution and lenses than an oculus or vive.
wont be doing that again.

This.
Didn't exactly give you an incentive to follow the main quest, but that was never the point anyway

you can easily go over 60fps with ini tweaks or the havok fix mod

>he fought for the empire after they tried to execute him without a valid reason
>he fought to suck elf cock
>he fought to ban Talos
Why?
Skyrim belongs to the nords prove me wrong.

Ulfric is a Thalmor agent.

No. this was kino though

Hadvar was supposed to be the one to show you that not all imps are bad they're just drones who shrug at atrocities
Moot point since the Empire circa Skyrim is indeed bad and the choice for advanced brainlets.

i like it but i'm also a huge fan of skyrim in general

Your motherfucking life ends 3 hours from now

For those who don’t know, Skyrim Unbound is a mod that basically lets you skip the main quest, and chose wether you’re dragon born or not. It also can determine wether you are able to use magic or not. It’s a pretty awsome mod

Some mesh mod fucked it for me, found a fix tho, game is garbage anyway

when will they bring back Sutch?

>Very cozy, especially when it's foggy/raining

It's never raining. The intro has scripted weather. It's always dull and foggy at first and then clears to bright and sunny when you arrive at helgen.

Hello brainlet.

This was the incompetence of a single officer, not the entire empire

What did Skyrim do right?

Attached: f4879424.gif (379x440, 141K)

The best part about the intro is seeing the extensive torture chambers and dungeons the Imperials have beneath Helgen, complete with corpses and fucking SKELETONS
And then being retarded enough to think these are the good guys

>play Nord
>everyone treats you like an outsider
How the fuck would they know?

Made alot of money

modding

Same way everyone knows you're a dirty outlander in Morrowind
Your character uses the equivalent of reddit spacing or something

Accent.

Just always felt off. No matter your race you get treated the same. Guess it would be too much work to add different dialogues and character reactions. Khajiits, Argonians, Redguards and Dunmers should be viewed hostilely and with contempt by everyone in Skyrim. For that matter your class should change their perceptions as well. Nords don't like magic users. there are a couple throwaway lines about not using magic or wizard's robes but how about their interactions with you and your relation with them being drastically altered because you ar ea magic user? Just fucking lazy.

Dragonborn is probably the best DLC Bethesda has ever put out. It rivals NV even.

The setting is nice. I really like snowy landscapes.

lizzard and kitty titties

The combat itself is better than Oblivion... kinda like how F4's combat was better than F3's.
They obviously aren't interested in making RPGs with any interesting RPG-elements - might as well make action games.

>if i pull that off would you die?

reminder that the dunmer should join the stormcloaks and definitely not the empire

maybe i downloaded a mod

Yeah in a perfect world Bethesda could pull that off reliably, in the real world they had severe gamebreaking quest bugs that never ever got fixed even though they rereleased the game five times.
Generally though no RPG is remotely good about being that reactive, remember Dragon Age and the persistent disconnect of playing a Blood Mage that is never acknowledged?

>Why didn't this game have infinite scope?

Gee, I wonder why...

You get different NPC barks based on player race and "class". That's enough for the majority of people. No one, for example, is going to be happy to pick a khajit and then discover they can't enter any town and therefore 90% of the quests in the game are unavailable to them. That's just a stupid idea and relegates that particular race to the "useless" category.

You probably broke the game. Try buy it one more time it will work great.

you know skyrim is complete garbage when fucking ESO has better writing

>No one, for example, is going to be happy to pick a khajit
I would for the verisimilitude of being a complete sneak-thief to survive

It's funny but there are mods to make nords more racist to certain races just so the player can feel more victimized and oppressed

>Just fucking lazy.

yeah lol game should have infinite budget

There's a mod that does nothing but change the scripted weather of the intro to be raining? It's scripted so no global weather mod will have any effect on it. I think you are lying, user.

>H-h-how could you side with the Stormcloacks? Don't you know that they're RACIST? Are you RACIST?! W-w-what do you mean they fight for their freedom of worship? They're obviously fighting to keep their elf slaves...

>goes on to defend the historically oppressed dunmer

yea but when you talk to tulius he literally says he doesn't give a fuck about Skyrim and that he's just there on work

no i meant maybe as in i might have had a mod
i might have just assumed that since it's always foggy one of the times it might have been rainy
im surprised you have so much knowledge about a random intro to a game

It makes sense for the dunmer to join the stormcloaks
Nords have done a lot for morrowind since the red year, with the giving of solstheim and letting them stay in riften/windhelm. Lot of friction between the two obviously but pragmatically joining up with them makes a lot of sense

a lot more than dunmer joining the fucking empire does anyway

It was serviceable for its time, but as soon as the modding started, it became a nuisance.

>im surprised you have so much knowledge about a random intro to a game

I mod the game myself. I've explored how Bethesda does shit in the game a great deal to know what I can do and how. The helgen intro is a notorious scripting clusterfuck.
