Serious question is skyrim a good game?

It's okay, it's just shallow as fuck.
Oh, and Dawnguard is utterly irrecoverably retarded.

Good game sure but not as good as ''everyone'' seems to claim .

The only great thing about this game is the fact that you can mod it , making it into a pretty good game .

It's kind of weird. I myself have installed and uninstalled the game 3 times before I finished it, because the quality is very rocky.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Comfy game

Yes. The main reason why is because Bethesda is the only company that makes games like this. It has no competition so it will always be at the top.

Post cancelled this is actually a valid point
it's like playing fable, just something you can sit back and play without much care or thought.
i like it.

Have you tried playing a Stealth Archer?
I honetly can't pick up a bow in the game, have to force myself to go Two-Hander because of the Stealth Archer vacuum

My only beef is enemy variety. Draugr, Dragons and Bandits.

Physical combat gameplay is okay compared to his predecessors, but it's still bad in absolute.

On almost every other aspect, it falls apart.

go home technical

it took you 8 fucking years to figure out Skyrim sucks? jesus christ user get a grip

that's one of my issues with the game. no actual class creation so you just have to roll with what you do best (stealth archer)
and i end i'm being forced into the games funnel of play style of being a stealth healer.

I wouldn't say it "sucks" but it defiantly isn't as fun to play as its predecessors. much like how i would rather play fallout 3 or new vegas before i would try fallout 4 again.

I personally can't get enough of killing bandits, no sarcasm

I was worried for a second there yet would not at all be surprised.

This. Skyrim has about the same quality as all nu-Bethesda games since Oblivion. Good in some areas, shit in others. This is why there are genuine arguments about what's better between the two of them. Skyrim will probably be remembered a lot more fondly after VI is released, though, since it seems Bethesda is trying to casualize their games even more if FO4 and 76 are anything to go by.

draugr dungeons get old pretty fast but otherwise the quest are pretty varied.

Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle.
There is a lot to do but there isn't depth to it, you can play the game through and still stumble on areas you've never been to before when you come back to it a decade later.
But chances are you've forgotten about it after you've found the chest with the loot anyway.

Its far from a bad game but after you've finished playing in the sandbox you're satisfied for a bit until you realise you never build your sandcastle.

As always mods help a ton and can add new areas and quests. If you want new quests then I suggest Vigilant and Outbreak.
If you're a masochist I suggest Rigmor of Bruma and its sequel Rigmor of Cyrodiil
There are also tons of mods that improve on gameplay, such as Wildcat or TKDodge or Visible Injuries.
Hell, if you hated the lack of fun bandits and bounties then OBIS has you covered.

ouch.
i know this is going to be true one day
i highly doubt the game will even be properly playable for months

Don't expect that TES6 will be so flexible to modify as Skyrim

The first couple hours playing Skyrim I was fighting a dragon on the road, only to have some random npc encounter force open dialogue with me telling me to hold on to some item totally ignoring the fact that I was now standing there totally powerless having my ass chewed on listening to this prick. I desperately closed the conversation just in time for the dragon to land the killing blow. I'm glad I only pirated this piece of shit because I uninstalled the game right there and never played it again.

>TES6

has any information been released about TES6?

memes and all, it really isn't

a lot of people who say it outright sucks have 2000 hours of playtime in the game though.

Yes. Normies love it because of marketing, most love it because of mods; we all play because the undustry is retarded and never tried making something like it, but good.

Of course it is bad, it has some good aspects and some bad aspects, but overall the game is a boring fantasy walk simulator with no interesting quests or things to do and superficial elements with no depth whatsoever. Most people like it, but then again most people have shit taste.

Sure. I have a couple of hundred hours of "playtime". A lot of that is just getting mods to play nice, though. That being said, it's a pretty solid modding platform, if nothing else.

No, it showed Bethesda just how little they have to do in order to make bank by selling to mouthbreathing retards who finally have a ''roleplaying'' game to play that their not affraid of getting confused by.
Elder Scrolls will never be anything more than a open world action game that people who are to comfortable with mediocrity praise as the best there is.

It's one of those games I pick up and put down too many times and go absolutely nowhere
I dont hate it and I like the concept but it's just nothing special and I personally dont feel a sense of structure in the leveling and mechanics
I'd rather go finish other games in the backlog anyway

Bad game, excellent modding base. I put maybe 20 hours into the actual vanilla content and about 100 more into fucking around with mods and roleplaying.

hi todd.

There are mods that can make the game several times more demanding in terms of hardware.

Just a fancy enough ENB can make your fps plummet to the single digits even if your rig can handle the vanilla game.

>it's revolutionary
It is not, thought. And was not.
It was just a big game with a lot of boring content and an extremely OP advertising campaign. It simply lacked any competition, because there were no other game which didn't care about you so much that you had maximum freedom at the expense of being able to do something memorable besides inflating numbers.

Here's the whole quote
>“Yeah, spellcrafting is a real wildcard. Something that we’ve done a lot. And there are pluses and minuses to it. We’d like to find… we have some ideas that we really like on how to solve that, and I don’t know where that’s going to go. But the thing that we DON’T like about the previous systems that we’ve done, is it becomes very “spread-sheety.” It takes the magic out of magic."

Note that he outright says that they are testing what works and doesn't work and it's an ongoing process. And he is right, to an extent. Once you can create spells and tweak their numbers, creating spells becomes a meaningless metagame that is less about creativity and more about efficiency.

Don't start backtracking now user.

>he's still going and trying to make me a loser who wastes time on some shitty game let alone garbage mods that don't make the game better

>How do you have a computer that can play the game but not a modded game?

For the old timers the spread sheet is the appeal.
Sad I know but true.
They used to have to roll die in char creation. Over and over and over.. they thought that was fun.

Now we are moving the goalposts?
Poor form user poor form indeed.

SE

>becomes a meaningless metagame that is less about creativity and more about efficiency.
And that is why I don't believe Todd: skyrim is all about meaningless metagame, inflating numbers as much as possible. Legendary weapons are trash, since you've already found all the enchantments and leveled smithing up to 100. Armor, which was hard to get in morrowind? You craft it, since you are the best smith in skyrim. You get the idea. There is no magic to be found in a system where your main measurements of success and abilities are 100 in all skills and 768 armor points. And still they deleted spellcrafting, even though it was the same shit, but with more fun and freedom of experimentation.

It's mediocre at best. It's worse in every single aspect than its predecessors, apart from graphics.
And even the graphics are wasted on this game since every fucking dungeon looks the absolute same.

Is it out for SE?
I stopped giving a shit about muh waifus and garbage sex mods. Never playing LE again.

Yep

Not really, it used to be real fucking bad but the mod devs sat down a reworked it so the script bloat was cut down.
For little over a year the mod has functioned pretty well and hasn't crashed my game. Doesn't play nice with a couple of quest mods but otherwise its more than fine.

Nice.
Are there any mods that allow you to increase the overall number of enemies spawning? Hopefully compatible with most other shit.

Not really. The moment to moment is incredibly samey. I can't remember a single character because they're so dead and lifeless. Fallout 4 and 76 sucked nuts, but Fallout 3 and New Vegas were peak creation engine for me.

I think you can do that in the OBIS menu atleast for bandits

I don't think it is. Size (landmass, content) and graphics do a great job at hiding how painfully repetitive and boring the game actually is.

Why would you want to use something that makes the game a snoozefest and completely breaks it?

It was a combination of levitation and the braindead AI that trivialized combat.
If it didn't have a ranged attack it would get to the closest point to you and run around in circles trying to find a path to you.

- Extremely repetitive quests.
- Extremely unrewarding quests, at that.
- Most unique weapons are leveled to your character, but don't scale with your level after you acquire them. Meaning that the best moment to acquire them is at the end of the game.
- Combat is awful.
- Guild quests are awful and don't take into account your build, at all.
- The voice acting is repetitive and poorly delivered for the most part. Whereas talented voice actors are able to portray a number of different voices, a given voice actor in a Bethesda game sounds exactly the same for every character they are voicing. There's not even an attempt to sound different.

The game just isn't good. At all. It's just big and mediocre, and big and mediocre are everything you need to make a game that sells.

Playing around in the sandbox world like a child is literally the only reason to even play Vanilla Skyrim. Frankly it's hard to think of anything more pathetic than playing Skyrim to win. Try any other game not made by Bethesda.

It's really depressing to me that Skyrim has the modding culture it does rather than an open-world/open-ended fantasy game that actually had some kind of good gameplay foundation. A game like that I guess never got made and maybe never will be made.
