The interface is really terrible.
Some textures seem to have been taken from morrowind.

You trollan'?

I hate having to wait.  I want the game now.  I might cry... :(  Again...

I should have thought about this game way sooner than I did, then I wouldn't have to wait a week for it.  It better damn well be worth it.

well generally speaking you want to wait a week for a game's possible initial fatal bugs to be phased out first.

he has to be. The interface is fine. Not elegant, but not terrible by any rational stretch of the imagination. I have seen only one texture problem in 4 hours of playing and it was in a cave, ironically named *******'s Shame. (name blocked for spoiler's sake)

If it wasn't for this I'd be more annoyed that my PC is currently having it's issues diagnosed and will be out of action for at least another two weeks. Still wish I was playing nonetheless.

Speaking of spoilers,

While I think it lacks the pacing and subtlety of the original, it's nice to see Bethesda paying attention to the essential TES lore.

Which is impressive for a game this old.

I mean... how many games out there that had extensive lore never breached it?

I said some textures, most(ie 99%) are fine but when you see one really terrible in the middle of fine textures it really seems like it was imported from morrowind...
As for saying the interface is fine, are you playing on PC? I haven't seen a backward interface like that since the days of the bad capcom ports...

To make it clear, I enjoy it anyway, it's a good game, but it could have been awesome with a proper interface(wait, what does that make me think of? :p).

yeah that was great! I should also say I have read 8-10 books in game now just to enjoy the writing. I can identify at least 2 distinct writers if not a third so far. I wonder just how many people were writing them? I know there are more than 300 of them in game, most about 6-11 pages.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.

Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Re: Discussion on TES V: Skyrim - IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!
« Reply #599 on: November 11, 2011, 03:42:51 am »
I see an headline of 'it's actually good!'

so, how did this game turned out? it's leveled like hell as Oblivion? has it the same rails of Fallout?


edit

on a second thought what worries me more is the actual game balance: in a game where you routinely slay dragons, how are other quest to kill stuff handled? it would make no sense to have a dragon slayer matched one on one by a commoner bandit, after all.

any report on that?
