Personally I like how this thread goes in circles.

[Leatra]

I like morrowind it seems so much better with no limits old games are better then the new game for some reason.Get morrowind with alot of mods it will be awesome. 

Totally agreed. You actually have to USE your brain to play them. I mean, WTF? Using your brain while playing a video game? Forget it. After a couple of hours playing CoD with my friends I don't feel my brain for sometime. Older games show you that you don't need majestic graphics and shiny design to make an immersive game.

Skyrim feels immersive at some points but in the middle of that EPIC dragon battle I always have to do this.

-Bring it on, sucker!
*dragon removes %80 of my health*
-Uh, okay. Time for some restoration magic
*favorites menu pops up*
*scrolls around to find the spell*
-God... Where the fuck is it? Couldn't they alphabetize this shit?
*finds and casts restore help spell*
-Shit. Now I have to find where my weapons are.

It's not the graphics. It's gameplay AND not having a shitty UI.

Personally I like how this thread goes in circles.

Bash Skyrim > Talk about mods > Bash Bethesda > Talk about modern gaming. Repeat. Yeah me too

[PTTG??]

More like Praise Skyrim > Except for this one tiny thing > Bash Skyrim > Bash Bethesda > Bash modern gaming > Praise Morrowind > Bash Skyrim some more > Praise mods > Except for those terrible mods > Say actually Skyrim's not that bad > Praise Skyrim

You are playing on a console?? All beth games need to be modded and there are great UI mods out there. Most people use SkyUI I think, but actually prefer QD Inventory. Also Better Sorting and Categorized Favorites menu will fix those problems.

Just want to point out that I never said that.

Edit: Nevermind

These two mods I have found to be useful if you hate the UI.
There is SkyUI - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3863
And Categorized Favorites Menu - http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4862

If your playing on the PC version, you can favorite spells and items and then assign hotkeys to them.

[Leatra]

I know about the mods. I just want Bethesda to stop making us go "meh, mods will fix it" and make better games in the first place. Do I ask too much?

[Tarran]

Yes. It's too much effortz.

More seriously, no. They should put more effort into actually making a game that's good from the start. A game that you can play vanilla and still enjoy.

[nenjin]

I can enjoy it. I just can't enjoy all of it. And when they make this massive freaking game that implies 100+ hours of enjoyment...yeah, that rankles a bit.

Skyrim & Bethesda: Give your artists and engine coders a raise. Fire your game devs.

So, is it too early to wonder where the next game is going to be set? I'm thinking either Black Marsh or Valenwood, or maybe the Summerset Isles. Or maybe even.... Akavir?? nah probably not Akavir

Come to think of it, are there any rough guesses as to when it's coming out?

[MorleyDev]

Well some of the things I want "fixed", I'll grant are because I want a more "hardcore" experience. It's inevitable they can't please anybody. Release the most impossible-to-complete game ever, make modding possible and you'll still see mods making it more difficult. I don't like the levelling because I don't want to be able to go anywhere, do anything. I want to be able to try and go anywhere and do anything, only to find myself slaughtered by angry vampires for my hubris.

As for where the next one will be, usually they have "hints" as to the planned plot for the next game but we may have to wait for the expansion for that. Tribunal had a cult that believed Daedra were going to invade, and were committing suicide to try and convince the ancestors to help or something. Skip forward 6 years, Daedra invade.

Oblivion had a mad wood elf who ranted about an invasion of Dragons. People thought he meant Akavir and it's dragon people, but it seems he was being a bit more literal xD

Personally, I'm hoping for Black Marsh, simply because it sounds so alien, I always wonder why they stick the games in the most normal human-occupied provinces when they have awesome imaginative places they could set them in. I always place great importance on the worldbuilding in these kinds of games, and that, sadly, have been quite lacking since after Morrowind.

As for when it's coming out: 14/14/14. No, wait...

Anyway, maybe it's for the best that they're running out of that kind of dates this December.

[Tarran]

If they aren't going to redo any areas, likely some of the Dominion-controled or allied-to-Dominion areas.

If they are going to redo areas, the Cyrodiill-Valenwood-Elsweyr doesn't sound like a bad choice to me since, well, it's going to be a gigantic warzone between two giant powers. Can't go wrong with gigantic warzones, right?

[Glowcat]

...I always wonder why they stick the games in the most normal human-occupied provinces when they have awesome imaginative places they could set them in.

Or retcon provinces to move towards generic European fantasy. I'm looking at you, Cyrodiil.
