bethesda really could have put in the work to build from morrowind and say ok, we are going to keep as many story strands as morrowind had and build a game from there. we could have gotten red dead redemption scrolls. we could have gotten witcher scrolls.
instead, they do what they have done every console release and go, you know what? lots and lots of kids are playing this xbox thing for the first time. if we oblivion look like warcraft and lord of the rings, we can add some audio lines and call it a day. oh whats that? metrics say it's a success and half the players didnt even beat it? nice, well for our next trick, lets do game of thrones. and lets release this fucking piece of shit 17 times.
I recall having this discussion with a friend when the game was released, we were probably the only 2 people of our friend group that played Morrowind and oblivion, he was enjoying Skyrim, me not so much
his argument was that it was more accessible and I shouldn't be bothered by it, interestingly enough alot more of our friends played Skyrim but never touched oblivion or Morrowind
this fucker actually reddit posts formats and samefags about something he never played with an imaginary fren, are these bots?
>we could have gotten red dead redemption scrolls. we could have gotten witcher scrolls
so equally as shit as what we already got
mods
Are extremely overrated and pointless unless you're a terminal coomer
not true
I'll admit, you have install a fuck ton of mods to make it enjoyable, but with non-coomer mods, the game can be improved significantly
I don't understand people who get their opinion influenced by Ganker. Skyrim is a good RPG in its own right.
Three things happen:
A) Skyrim really is not a game everyone can get into. You'd think it would be, but "freeform make your own adventure immersion" is a gameplay style that really, really fucking chafes on some folk. That's just how it is. You can't convince them of shit with subjective experiences, because for them, those experiences are simply not true.
B) It's difficult for people with forceful opinions to admit to an objective middle ground. They want to be right and want you to be wrong. Both "it's garbage" and "it's great" have some truth in the arguments they can make. The truth about Skyrim is that it's somewhere in the middle. A game that has a lot to offer, but also has a lot of flaws and isn't for everybody.
And lastly C, the people who, despite being anonymous, still can't handle the idea of being judged in any way shape or form, so they parrot memes and hope they don't get called out. When they do, they inevitably either shut up or meme some more, since having an actual discussion with reasons involved would expose them to the possibility of being wrong and suffering ego blows. Can't have that.
>Skyrim really is not a game everyone can get into.
it is, that is for PEOPLE WHO HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED IT instead of the lying bullshitting spastics who op'd and spammed 'omg skyrim so shit' who never played it and are ritalin cabbages
The fact that you're unable to admit that no, maybe some people can't, makes you every bit as bad as the spergs you're bleating about.
So people who don't play or like video games and finger their anus differently by spamming for (yous) on pharma meds don't like a game like skyrim they have never payed? How is that reevent? It's an incredible game.
Skyrim is casualized slop that was designed in a way that literal retards could play it. have a nice day
Skyrim is barely an RPG, let alone a good one.
these are barely posts let alone gud ones
Yep. I’ve never understood the seethe this game creates. It’s fun. If you don’t like it don’t play it.
congratulations, you discovered what getting older is.
The game is fine but it definitely pisses me off that they removed attributes and static birthsigns. Same thing with Fallout 4 removing skills.
At this point I just want Bethesda to fucking die already because I just know they are going to take a fat shit on the next elder scrolls given their track record over the past decade.
in elder scrolls 6 there will be three stats "strength" "magic" and "stealth" and on each level you'll pick one to level up and pick corresponding perks
This is exactly what I'm afraid of. They strip everything out of their games that make them worth playing and leave you with a pile of shit. I'm willing to bet the storyline will also be some we wuz kangs shit too.
>magic has been reduced to offensive and defensive effectively removing the Alteration and Illusion schools
>melee is simply titled as melee with the removal of the two handed class of weapons and crossbows
>armor is now just body and helmet with a choice between either one ring or necklace
>milk
The jankiness is the fun. Then again I've only played the vanilla 360 version so I don't know if anything has changed since then.
How is Skyrim janky? It's probably Bethesda's most polished games seeing how it has been rereleased 100 fucking times.
Check out the PS3 version if you want a Skyrim jankfest.
Milk needs time to go bad.
Skyrim was terrible from day 1.
>never played it, spam /v with shite tee hee hee
to some extend ->
ironic you say this when skyrim supposed to be first their take on an GoT themed game but got scratched in the last seconds thus they used assets at hand to make TES:V
> the story was never shitty Skyrim is a great game, beautiful visuals, music atmosphere, quests and setting<
retcon the meaning of what a dragonborn truly is then proceed to shit allover established lore with simpletons stupidity mix it with a morally grey story neglecting what skyrim actually made unique with its pantheon "beautiful visuals" yeah we all love that ps1 feet visual enlightment "music atmosphere" reused since morrowind and adjusted just to fit the theme dont get me wrong i loved Soule "quests and setting" most of the quests dont make any sense if youd use your brain and think for a minute https://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=14422 just to give you RETARD a glimps and the last one for the setting they gutted everything what made the nords actually interesting the path was paved for them since daggerfall/morrowind in the books but that got trashed to beginn with because the new writer is an simplcistic IMbEciLe youd ask for proof well read from the imperial library site and enlighten your self skyzoomer
those threads are so tiresome because people whose first (a) rpg was skyrim do not want to listen and deny any flaw(s) in their emotionally invested travesty this game is
punctuation was invented for a reason. use it, you dumb retard.
>being so threatened by the existance of skyrim fans that you have saved a that pic
lol
>using the worst questline as a basis for all skyrim quests
you can do this with other games, morrowind was shit just look at the imperial cult questline! oblivion was shit just look at the fighters guild questline!
saved no
>10 seconds do download an random picture on the internet to upset another Babyborn ((YOU)) on the internet <
imperial cult quesline anon we both know what lizzard wrote it NAME HIM , oblivion fighters guild questline same person who helped doing them in skyrim iam sure you do know that aswell
the who and the what?
I don't follow /tesg/ schizo theories
those are not /tesg/ schizo theories, Anon todd really wrote that imperial questline luckily afterwards he never touched a single line of code but we got somebody worse and his name is .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bi51-wjcwp8 timestamp 2:40 and 6:40 i hope you have some diapers ready because this clown is the future of bethesda softworks after todd is gone he will take over the entire place and he is already lead designer and lead developer since oblivion ... it irks me that i have to remind people of this
Thank you anon
So it seems like TES VIs story is already going to be shallow and lame. Lets just hope they don't also remove more skills that skyrim already did
Literally all of the questlines are miserable to play through. Even Oblivion has some fun one-off quests.
I will say that Skyrim did a good job with creating dungeons that were easy to stumble into, i.e. they each have a personalized quest or at least some sort of environmental story, instead of just a hundred burial sites like in the previous two games.
Oblivion's quests blew Skyrim's out of the water. I remember being immensely disappointed that you play like 5 quests and all of a sudden you were grandmaster of whatever guild you were in. Oblivion had you running all over the place and each guild questline felt like its own game. A lot of the quests were extremely memorable too, the whodunit one was fantastic.
seriously i probably played skyrim for like 200 hours and I sort of remember the sheogorath quest, the first dragon key quest and bits from the factions like the clown that betrayed the dark brotherhood or that the fighter's guild are werewolves but that's all, it's crazy how unmemorable it all is
I hope you didn't forget about the legendary Bard's College
The world was comfy, the rest was absolute shit. Had a good time for like 20h, then I realized all the questlines are linear garbage and make no sense.
mod it retard
Why would you be ashamed of playing it?
Did Ganker elitists intimidate you or something?
Modded, it's the best-looking open world western RPG to date since Starfield looks like melted ice cream and the rest of the open world genre are just action-adventure with some RPG elements
nah, Ganker says that skyrim (modded) is good like all Bethesda games (modded) are good otherwise they are shit. That corporation makes engines to mod in not games. Its kinda like Mount & Blade.
what makes bethesda games true RPGs and not just sandboxes with some RPG elements?
They were true RPGs at one point but sadly they are not anymore. Their games are now just action games with perk systems tacked on.
if you can make different builds to roleplay a different chracter then its an RPG
minecraft is an rpg
Yeah, their games stopped being RPGs after Skyrim. Tell me where the roleplaying elements are in Fallout 4/76 or Starfield? A level up system with perks is not a "build" because you are just playing the same generic character every time.
FO4 has different builds that depend a lot on your starting SPECIAL stats, but I agree its limited and kinda linear. Luck builds are still the best in FO how it should be though.
Mods fix it, install Hot Diggity mod to have the skill screen back, not only perks.
?si=8Ns6dmx_BUx17dpd
your starting special doesn't matter since you can level it up like perks
yea but you waste levels tho, you aint able to get a badass perk early on if you do that. not all perks are useful just raising special is retarded i get that the levels are infinite and you become god of all trades master of all at the end but there is roleplaying in the early game 100% when I picked Nate I roleplayed a soldier high endurance, strenght, perception agility, a bit lower luck and intelligence (because he is an unlucky retard that joined the army on the binge of a nuclear war)
And when I picked Nora I larped as a charismatic lucky hoe because she is a woman and was a corrupt lawyer. This made a difference early game
>roleplayed soldier
Kek there is literally nothing else to roleplay as because the game picks that background for you
I just explained how there is more roleplaying than that lol
I can even roleplay a raider I would have to install the Alternate Start / Start Me Up mod
and make some tomboy bitch with agility and luck and charisma but low on endurance and strength due to being a drug addict
You are saying that the only way to truly roleplay in the game is to install mods. That means the game in it's vanilla form is not a true RPG. You shouldn't have to mod the fuck out of your game to have things that should already be in it by default.
Don't get me wrong I played the fuck out of FO4 but to call it an RPG is just silly. It is an open world FPS with RPG elements at best.
not really but mods do enhance the experience, the moment you get to imagine a character role and spec their "genetical affinity" point distribution thats when the roleplaying starts, so the moment you are putting points into you special thats when.
This is not like Starfield where you start with 3 perks and thats that, altho that is also a bit roleplaying its just extremely shitty, you can also pick Diplomat in starfield and your chracter says "what would I know Im not a diplomat" Starfield was trash, that game needs easily 1k mods to ever be good.
>you aint able to get a badass perk early on if you do that
Perks are directly level-gated, you're not getting them any earlier than the required level regardless. This is particularly noteworthy for any attempted stealth build because weapon mods don't appear in levelled loot lists until the same level as the requirements for the corresponding perk to make them, which makes it difficult to acquire suppressed weapons earlier than intended.
ok fuck you, what makes SKYRIM a true RPG
>10 playable races with unique racial bonuses
>20ish skills that you can level up
It's an RPG. Definitely a dumbed down version of their previous ones because it is more open ended in building your character. The older games force you to pick a profession and you have to stick within it.
In my opinion the line for RPG is broken when skills are no longer involved. If you just have an open perk tree it is no different than Call of Duty or some shit.
true RPGs 4 naggers in a row games are boring as fuck and dated outside of Persona and SMT that still pulls it off.
it's not a "true" RPG, it's like
70% action 30% RPG
you can mod it to have either more action (nemesis, new spells, weapon types, etc..) or more RPG (attributes, perks, alternate start..) however
once you do the 3 quests total that have the slightest amount of effort put into them the game loses its magic
Not true. Skyrim will always be a beautiful setting especially for Chuds that believe in white supremacy and hyperborea and all that shit. You are just not white enough to get what Skyrim or Elden Ring are really about.
White people like games that actually have challenge and require skills or wits. Walking simulators are for the sub100 iq drooling late millennial/gen z mutt masses.
Well, that's because you still haven't had sex since you played it for the first time.
Mod it.
It has aged badly, but god I never knew it's release were going to be part of the good times. Just the fact that you can walk in and buy something like that at a retail store, talk about quality for the fucking price in comparison to games today. I remember the time period of halo reach, new vegas, and then skyrim. God fucking damn has it all gone down the shitter. Now I feel like I should say thank you for devs just pissing in my mouth.
It is painful witnessing the slow decline of video games.
I remember in the 2000s there was constantly cool new shit coming out to be excited about, that continued until the mid 2010s and then it seemed like we only got a few really good games a year. Now we are lucky to get one good game every couple of years and we just have to sit there and watch in horror as Microsoft gobbles up all the companies so they can push their political bullshit into every game.
It's all so tiresome.
>that continued until the mid 2010s
Gaming died 7th gen
It was never good. It has always been a boring walking sim. I will never understand how you fags can enjoy literally no level design, following a stupid arrow around doing fetch quests for npcs you have no reason to care about, using the most shallow combat and "rpg" mechanics possible. It literally isn't even a game.
>zoomers thinking Oblivion is significantly different from Skyrim
>boomers thinking both are pieces of shit
>silent generation chads like me are aware that both of them are significantly streamlined from Morrowind but still great fun
True giga oldfags don't even think about Oblivion or Skyrim. They denounced Morrowing and are still playing Daggerfall because they think tinkering with muh immersive sim elements in countless procedurally generated dungeons is fun
This is true, reading old Usenet posts about how Morrowind is going to be ass is fun.
>This game aged like milk, jesus christ
No it didn't. It was always shit
you WILL start a new playthrough
nah i'm good, i already got all the steam cheevos
I'm doing that right now.
Yes i will with my big tiddy small dick whore
I'm doing that now on Switch
here's what mine looked like before my pc shat itself
spooky
Has anyone done a Thalmor playthrough? I want to do that one day. I will mod it to make it more elaborate. Dragonborn Thalmor chad, the worst nightmare of Cyrodil.
I am currently doing a LotD run. Wish me luck.
Redpill me on LOTD. Is it actually good or merely bloated shit?
I love it, since it appeals to my inner loot goblin. Maybe that is not for everybody.
Even if you don't do any quests that are added, you get a place to display literally anything you collect ingame. What's more is that it also adds tons of new items, enchantments and is compatible with many many other mods ll with their own displays.
I do also love the explorers guild. As you progress your collection you will go on some neat expeditions.
Overall a unique experience, that is basically it's own guild questline and contains tons of qol stuff on the side.
soon, soon. I have to tighten up my mod load first
But you still played it worse still enjoyed it. I will never forgot this and I will remind you of this in the moment when you least expect it
>tfw it's actually a good video
>9 hours
go have a nice day
it's 20
Still the best.
>This game aged like milk
It became fine cheese?
It was always mediocre. Still a pretty atmospheric walking simulator.
Mods my man, mods.
Also sidenote, the soundtrack is still just absoutely majestic.
Just downloaded a modpack from the nexus and added a couple of extra mods I wanted. It's been the most fun I've had out of any single player game I've had in over 5 years.
This is what got me, I downloaded a modlist. Played a bunch, loved it, then got addicted to adding more and more mods until the whole thing broke on me.
>then got addicted to adding more and more mods until the whole thing broke on me.
Lmao same. At the end, adding the mods manually, one by one so you know what are the ones crashing your game will always be the best option.
Unironically, it can.
Please post the mods that do this. I'm genuinely curious.
The DLC's already add enough to the game to ignore the main questline for as long as you wanr and even then, there's tons of mods that add better boss fights and quests to the main storyline. Now that quest mods are using AI voices that finally sound decent you won't even notice most of the time when something wasn't suppoused to be in the game at first.
You can add enough modded story content in that you have a hundreds of hours long playthrough and never finish the main story
While testing mods I've done 5-20 hour little playthroughs where I never even go to Helgen and trigger the main quest
This. No matter what mods I've installed, I still end up having to play the same boring gameplay loop of exploring crappy Dwemer ruins, draugr crypts, and boring as fuck main story while doing fetch quests.
Samefag. Learn how to mod your game.
i spent almost 2,500 hours over the years modding it only to play the same shitty questlines with the same shallow, annoying characters that do nothing. don't be like me.

i'm sober and unmedicated—i suspect this was a manifestation of OCD.
>complaining about repetitiveness after playing the game over a hundred times
You are complaining about a problem you yourself made for yourself.
it wouldn't be repetitive if the game had any substance or depth—if the story was good it could be an epic story to revisit over and over and appreciate, but it isn't. it sucks. it's not worth anyone's time.
you never played it
>muh plot!
Nigga you're legit retarded. Go read a book. There'a no videogame in history with a story complex enough to replay it over a hundred times just for the story. People play games for the gameplay.
>hurr durr the gameplay is shit
Fix it with mods. There's tons of those so feel free to stop complaining.
>mods cannot fix a fundamentally shit game
>BRO JUST FIX IT WITH MODS
retard
>fundamentally shit game
Your biggest complain is the "story" you fucking moron. A bad main plot doesn't take away from the hundreds of other quest already in the game + the thousands of more content you can add into it. You're a whinny homosexual.
i never mentioned the story, don't fucking (You) me if you cannot read
i suspect both of you think the other is me. kek.
You are wrong the reason I started replaying on a 360 was I picked up a copy of legendary edition and I'm having great fun, I last played through it a decade ago.Its a fantastic game with vast depth

your standards of quality are presicely what's wrong with the video game industry. you enable studios to release unfinished, shit products and get offended when anyone calls them out on it, as if it's a personal attack towards you for enjoying garbage products. fuck you. i haven't played in over 2 years now, i've read and re-read books that are actually good—that's what pulled me out of the destructive modding cycle in the first place. grow the fuck up.
You're a wanna be psudo-intellectual that ironically can only judge shit on the most superficial ways possible without taking into account any of its other attributes. Because of shallow naggers like you its why this board is shit, because you can't cope with someone seeing something you don't see.

the story was never shitty OG Skyrim is a great game, beautiful visuals, music atmosphere, quests and setting. You could go back to your doctor and get your dose lowered safely rather than just posting lying, worthless bitter retarded shit here. If you never played Skyrim or are too meds and tard too why the fuck do you post this obviously garbage nonsensical attempted 'crtiticism' of it
you wouldn't know a good story from a bad one even if you lived it.
and you never played skyrim for more than five minutes
Feel free to name one
>inb4 Zanzibart... Forgive Me
L.A. Noire had a decent story. it had tragedy and betrayal, at least—something bethesda can't comprehend.
It also isn't an open world rpg
open world rpg's can't use basic themes in their plots? i'm half tempted at this point to abandon my M.E. and make my own; if the standards are this low it would be easy.
mods cannot fix a fundamentally shit game
at best they can turn it into a porn game
Skyrim has a better story than zoomerslop like Witcher or Rdr2. It's nothing amazing, but it works as a solid hero's odyssey story.
>Skyrim has a better story than zoomerslop like Witcher or Rdr2. It's nothing amazing, but it works as a solid hero's odyssey story.

I played it for the first time one or two years ago. I'm not even a zoomer, I turned 31 recently, but I always had this nonsensical hatred for fantasy settings.
Anyways I played it with some very light modding and I had a good time with it. I dont mind older games or "jank" or whatever you nerds call it. It was the edition with all dlc so by the end of my playtrough I was a bit tired of it all but it was a fun 120 hours playtrough.
it's a gud game simple as op is a game hating plebbit fag twink
Ok anon
just play the dark brotherhood story line and then quit
Without mods it is a game for casual retards.
It isn't even a RPG, it is just an open world FPS with swords.
I like TES lore but without mods that make Skyrim an actual RPG, this game would be lame, or rather maybe a good game but not a good Elder Scrolls game
Heard RPCS3 works on Android now. Haven't looked into it yet however. If I can play Skyrim on my phone while I sit through a 14 hour shift then I'll at least try the game. See what the fuss is about.
skyrims a gud game. op is a homosexual
it's still better than most of AAA today

Man, that sucks. It's true but it pisses me off. The last decade has been so fucking trash.

You need to install mods. I recommend the modpack by JaySerpa.

The only thing I dislike about Skyrim is that they just took the imperial pantheon instead of the previously allured to nordic one for the most part.
