Bluh. On a whim, I decided to peer through the "Skyrim - Interface.bsa" file in Skyrim's Data folder. There is no independent keybinding in there so far as I can tell for the 'take all' command. Which kinda sucks since it is also used as the 'deposit item in chest' key and it has resulted in me mistakenly picking up everything in my primary house storage chest at least 4 times now.

But on the upside, it seems trolling people in the game dev lab will be made quite easy through a quick alteration of the interface text; most of that is in plain text in the interface file. :D

On absurd delivery quests:
I just walked literally 6 feet carrying some dead guy's ashes, and earned 400 gold.

Level-scaled quest rewards. Seriously, Bethie, that is just so dumb.

I rather liked the thieves' guild questline, myself.

The end was very indiana jones like.
I half expected the nemesis to turn and say "We meet again Dr Jones" at the end :p.

Sidgis Gauldurson - How the hell do I kill this guy? :X Its a random barrow den-like area I found, and the boss is a biatch.

The kid only has a single line. Ulfric on the other hand repeats an entire conversation each time I enter his throne room.

Then there's the fact that he's a genocidal fascist egotistical warlord. He murders a High King who was practically a boy as proof that he was undeserving of an administrative position (The seasoned veteran with magic shouting wins? No way!), kills anybody who wishes to stay out of the fighting, and his Stormfronts Stormcloaks are self-righteous fanatics who pretend they're the only ones with honor. I dare say it's possible that Ulfric pisses me off more than Adoring Fan. At least that makes him a very satisfying enemy.

Few hours in. No crashes, a few interface bugs (unless I'm just too dumb to figure out how to equip stuff from favorites - no key seems to work, even though I can browse through the favorites list). Still amazing.

I should note: I'm running this on absolute minimum settings and it STILL looks amazing. At least compared to the other games I've played. Maybe one day I'll get bored of Skyrim, but right now there's just too much to do.

5 misdeed for each city, after whom you'll get special quests to upgrade your guild and at last become the master.

I didn't buy it yet but it looks like the best open-ended action game which takes place in a medieval fantasy setting on the market. Too bad I'm looking for something more RPG-ish. Oh well, back to Morrowind then...

I don't know how you figure Skyrim isn't an RPG but enjoy your time in Morrowind! They're both great games.  :)

Game is definitely RPG, so the ui and combat is mainstreamed now, you can still fuck towns over or save that random guy on the road.

Maybe to them RPG = absurd amount of number minding and min maxing? I know some JRPG's are like that.

Um what???

Heres a point of reference that its got a good bit of RP...
There is a Quest, which has you at a Moral Decision. The game contains no "Karma" bar. It does not tell you if your being Good or Evil with which side you choose in this quest. And it doesn't fully explain the results of the conclusion as its got something to do with the other parts of the World of Elder Scrolls, what is the world called again, I forget, the games/name of the games are like Countries right...

Don't mind me, I'm just going to drop into the thread, throw a thinly veiled insult at the game being discussed, and leave.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

In the official forums, people said there wasn't many choices about quests. Someone said at one point you have to turn into a werewolf whether you want to be or not. Also, game is kinda pushing you to play a Nord/Warrior because of the narrowness of the plot. Game also promised excellent graphics but textures are really bad. Clothings looks horrible. I could show you some screenshots but I don't really care much about graphics because I value gameplay rather than graphics. Only thing I heard something I like about this game is there are some monsters that can kill you with one blow at level one.

Everybody can think what they want to think about Skyrim and the future of TES series. It's easy to predict. I heard there aren't even attributes anymore. They also keep reducing the amount of skills, armor, weapons and such. I'm not going to keep debating about Skyrim, especially without playing the game first.

I know everybody is going to hate me for saying I don't like Skyrim. But I simply don't. I didn't play it yet but I can guess what it's like. I'll give it a try with my friend's pc though.
