okay.

Well, I cant really relate to everyone wishing bethesda was back like how they used to be. I also cant relate when people say Skyrim is a low quality game; compare it to 95% of the stuff out there and Skyrim is gold. Or when people say Morrowind was good; I really disliked that game. Daggerfall was worse still.

Its not that I am ignoring the quality of the game, its just that I dont see eye-to-eye with everyone who isn't liking Skyrim.

I think that may be your issue, friend. I think you've just proven how your mindset is, based on your opinion of Bethesda's real works of art.

Psh, daggerfall was crap as a game. It had fantastic writing and story but a large part of the game itself was a ball of drudgerry and boredom. It had a lot of its own poor design decisions, UI issues, bugs, etc. The only thing that has changed is that people now look at it through rose-tinted nostalgia.

Those poor sheeple, they can't appreciate a true work of art! Not like this modern garbage. thankfully I knew this series was good back before it was popular.

Was it? I found it much more exciting than the previous RPG/dungeon games I'd delved into in the 90's. It was an actual effort, an attempt at something worthwhile in the industry. Not a sequel to make bank on, as shown by the Skyrim/Oblivion/Fallout3 system we've seen by Bethesda.

okay.

Quite constructive. May as well rename this to the Bethesda Fanboy Club if you don't appreciate the inherent quality of the game to be expanded on, friend.

He shouldn't show the tendencies of the type if he isn't willing to be called it.

Anyway... uh... favorite race?

 After Morrowind, and the first city I ever really visited after the Whiterun stuff was Windhelm, Dark Elves just sorta work for me. Although for mages I always chose Breton, because 100% magic resistance/absorption is amazing. I'm leaning towards Redguards for warriors but I don't know why.

PC master race

Khajiit due to starting sneak skill and the unarmed attack that starts more powerful than swords.

[Jervous]

Orc or Imperial.

I might try a Khajiit; I wanted to, but I was having a hell of a time making a decent-looking character. Mayhaps I will spend more time on it, but making a decent man/mer is so easy

Do we still have the "randomize face" option? I cant find it. I liked that option in Oblivion; mash it a few dozen times, then tweak your favorite one it gives you.

Steps to making a good-looking cat:
 1. Give the cat a moustache
 2. You have a good-looking cat.

I am envisioning you wandering around sticking fake moustaches on cats, going "Yeaaahhh" and doing finger guns at them now Duke.

 One part of that image is true in everything I do.

I found Morrowind boring. I thought Oblivion was a complete waste of money. I thought Fallout 3 was the exact opposite of what Fallout 2 was - it was made to be huge and shallow, unlike FO2 which was in a small world, but very detailed. In Bethesda games, you don't play a hero, you play a tourist.

So, I had no expectations of Skyrim, and I was very pleasantly surprised.

TBH, I don't feel like RPGs these days are RPGs anymore.. they're just for people who like playing with stats, and games which try to sell a story without any gameplay. Skyrim was actually a rare, true RPG. You actually do save the world, and when you do, people actually recognize you. Not only that, but they went a bit further and gave recognition for other little deeds too.

From start to finish, it provides an ideal RPG experience... do what you like, be a hero, destroy the world or save it, get legendary artifacts, etc. There's the good old cliches like innkeepers giving quests, guilds for all the major playstyles of the game, etc. So, heck, I give it a 5/5, definitely RPG of the year, and a good benchmark for the whole decade (even with the game killing bugs).


Right now, I'm having fun making a naked autistic Nord with a pickaxe, specializing in sneak attacks
