More overly gratuitous graphics that I'm numb to that takes away from storyline development and numbers of quests. Less books, more voice acting that takes up half the disk space. No danger, no fun. Smaller world, stereotypical environments. Less weapons than morrowind, more limitations on spells. Less back story, less mystery. Shallow, boring game for shallow, boring people.



Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had already played it, my mistake. Jackass.



He's entitled to his opinion just like you are. You fanboys are so quick to attack anyone who criticizes a game they haven't played, but you're doing the same thing by praising a game you haven't played. We can make some pretty fair assumptions about Skyrim based on previous Elder Scrolls games, Skyrim previews, Bethesda's recent releases, and the current trends in the gaming market. Same as I can say with a high level of confidence that Mass Effect 3 will be another shitty BioWare release even though it will most likely be lauded as a masterpiece. They haven't made a good game in years and I wouldn't expect them to start now.

That said, I may or may not still pick up Skyrim. I don't think it will be a bad game, but even if it were I'd rather play a shitty RPG than another god damn shooter at this point.



Uh, ok, except most of what he said wasn't an opinion he could have reached from reading preview information. He said 'Less weapons than morrowind', 'Less books', 'more limitations on spells. Less back story, less mystery'. Those things aren't his opinion, he's just spouting random bullcrap about a game he's never played. There's been know information to suggest to any of these things being right or wrong, if there is, point me to it.



You really think there is a good chance of a deep backstory and more books (books!) in Skyrim?  I doubt most of their casualized fanbase even has the attention span to read text, that's why they shell out millions on voice actors that reduce the amount of dialogue in the game by a wide margin. It can be reasoned that focusing on graphics, physics engines, voice acting, and "radiant ai" (whatever the fuck that is) will drastically reduce the overall depth of the game. It happened in Oblivion and there is no reason to assume it will not happen in Skyrim.

While I enjoyed Fallout 3 it was a shell of a game compared to fallout 1 and 2. That's if you are weighing it in the sense of a true RPG concerned with depth, atmosphere, narrative, and real choices.

And let's not forget the DLC like horse armor that should have been included in the game from the start.

Radiant AI is going to make the game far more in depth and relevant to your own character. It's going to make the NPCs far more realistic, and it will tailor quests to your own character. It will NOT reduce the depth of the game. There's been no indication at all that Bethesda have been spending 'millions' on voice actors. You have no idea how many books will be in the game. And if you only want to read books in the game, why don't you just buy a book? You'll enjoy it a lot more. You clearly haven't read much about the game, because you're just complaining about random crap that you clearly have no idea about.
