Skyrim

I ran a Khajiit, he ended up at level 42, I think, in full legendary daedric armor with basic enchantments, I didn't even have to do any major enchantments, he could kill anything in the game with a couple of hits.
I'm not at level 42 yet, I just got to level 36. Now Elder Dragons have started attacking, and they're very difficult for me. I might try Call Dragon, or run into a building and then come back out.

The enemies that are hard for me at this point are Elder and Frost Dragons, Draugr Death Overlords, skilled mages, high-level Orcish warriors and bandits, and not much else. Giants aren't a real challenge at this point.
There are some enchantments that make one-hit kills of anything guaranteed and where's the fun in that? I eventually stopped playing because I beat all of the quests, with the exception of four that were terminally glitched. I really had no interest in going through and maxing all of the skills because... what's the point? I'm already a badass with nothing left to do, what do I need to be at 100% on all the skills?

There are technically infinite quests if you go to the innkeeper or the Jarl's palace and get a mission to kill bandits, giants, or dragons. I suppose even that could get boring, the same thing happened with me and Arkham City.
 
Yeah, we got Fallout3 a while back, and I've played it some. I like it a lot, but I go back to the old "Mad Max" movies too. :)

Fallout3 is great, but Fallout: New Vegas is awesome!

As for Skyrim, I purchased it when it was released, but I can't get past the character creation because of a mouse-bug, and my machine is out of spec so Bethesda won't even talk to me about it. :(

Oops actually I meant Fallout New Vegas.

You'll love it! I've had about three run-throughs, and average about 158 hours... per game!!! :lol:

Theoretically you can get to level 82, but at this point, that just means leveling up all of my skills, but there's nothing at all new to do. Yes, I know I can keep going for endless fetch quests or whatever but that's boring.

Yup, very boring, it's all the same thing, different dungeon. Pass.
 
dragon age 2 was awefull,the first one was awesome,baldurs gate one and 2 were awesome,but dragon age 2 was biowares absolute joke of a game.

Are you kidding? It's amazing! One of my favorite games of all time.
 
I actually downloaded Daggerfall on your recommendation and can get it running through DOSBox but it's a pain to have to remount everything every time you want to play. But Morrowind....with the two addons....unbelievable. The only thing I'd change in that game is to scale back on the damned cliff racers.

Check out gog.com

Their version of it uses DOSBox too, but it's optimized so you don't have to remount every time you want to play.
 
Actually, my bad, I booted up the game tonight and I stopped at level 49, not 42.
 
morrowind was a good game,but i wouldnt call it the epitome,its crashy nature and complicated gameplay horribly hurt its standing.it would be awesome if morrowing was redone with a better combat and interaction system.

Gameplay let it down, but the world and storyline was amazing, far better than any of the subsequent games.

Good idea but didn't see it on there.

Odd, I could have sworn that's where I got my copy of it from, though it isn't on my shelf there and isn't in their catalog either :( At least they do have pretty much everything else, and a great community too :)
 
Had so much more fun with DA2 than I had with Skyrim. Sold Skyrim without a second thought, would never sell DA2.

I enjoyed DA2's cinematic tone, and I also appreciated the fact that the game's climax involved a moral choice that wasn't a complete copout.

However, i'd definitely consider Skyrim to be the superior game overall. It's much more impressive from a technical standpoint, and there's simply a lot more to do.

If Bethesda would get its head out of its ass concerning boss battles, it would be an almost ideal game.

I prefer Bioware's brand of RPG's over Bethesda's. I enjoy the character involvement, and tight story over an open world.
 
beware, many issues with skyrim on the ps3.

many freezes occur, but I eventually had to quit the game as the main quest line is stuck. I'm supposed to talk to some person, but she is stuck underwater, so I can't talk to her. prevents the quest from finishing.

the game play got exceedingly easy anyway. my sneaking and archer skills got so good I could walk up to every character and kill them with a single arrow before being detected.

exactly my point,gameplay was terrible,but the overall story was awesome.


which is whyi think it should be redone without the 40 swings of a sword to kill a cliff racer and the general crashes.heck if someone remade it like skyrim graphics wise and playability wise but kept everything else the same,it would be an absolute hit.

i finished that game after work in one night in afghanistan,the game is so absolutely linear its laughable,almost as linear as duke nukem forever.

DA1 was much better than DA2 (though I have high hopes for DA3). I've almost certainly put more hours into Skyrim than into DA2, but definitely less than DA1, which was a ****ing masterpiece of a game.
 
I've totally fallen into Gamer Geek Zone.... me and my son had a long conversation over dinner about Skyrim, including arguments about whether Smithing was worth bothering with, and which was better Destruction or Conjuration...


Oh, the geekiness...

I have been trying an Illusionist-Thief with some conjuration, but I am not very good at using the magic. I do, however, usually assassinate my opponents before they ever get to me (sneak with archery and a sharp eye).

The only thing wrong with Skyrim is that I can't find another similar game to play :)

Smithing is definitely worth it. Dragonscale armor and dragon bone bows......can't beat it. The other is Enchanting. Dual enchantments rock.

Lockpicking and stealth are a waste. I don't know about any of the magic ones because I don't use much magic at all.

UR not doing it right. :)

I haven't found much reason to put points into the skills. Pretty much any lock can be picked from the beginning and stealth just levels through use.

well no I haven't put any PERKS into stealth or lockpicking... but the skills themselves are extremely useful, even if they do pretty much level by simple use.
