Meh

 

[Scutch]

LOL!

 

[wag1]

Not played this since december. I abused my eyes for well over a month and unfortunately my old PS3 died on me.

Any recommendations on restarting as a different character, I wasnt a Nord but the other warrior character, red blood or something.

ANnoyingly I noticed how bloody scatty the game was when I played it on my 46" TV. Is this normal?

 

[Brand86]

I was a High Elf. Pretty good for the extra magicka but after several hundred hours think everyone is pretty much the same depending how you decide to level up.

 

[Christopher]

I avoided magic with both of my characters. Harry Potter FTL.

 

[Scutch]

LOL, same. Although I did use the health restore spells quite a lot early on.

Meh

You've f***ing lost it if you think it's acceptable to be shouting "Fus Roh Dah" at the TV tbh.

 

[wag1]

I started as a high elf. Getting seriously pissed off with getting killed

Did all the updates now, no more jerking on the new PS3 either. Missus is going away on Weds till Monday so I officially have 5 days of nothing to do and a fresh Skyrim game!

Does anyone else have the urge for the dwarves to show their faces aswell? Cant help but feel cheated with the rubbish robots they left behind

 

[Brand86]

High Elf is good if you get them using heavy armour and enchant the f&*k out of it. Especially if you get a decent companion (I have Marcurio) and some conjuration going down...double permanent flame atronachs for example = super awesome win times!

Weird how I have gone from a massive addiction on this game though, to not wanting to play it again. Sort of repulsed by everything about it, simply because played it so much and after so much time on it, the main game ran out of steam I found...no compulsion to finish it off right now.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah every time I load it up now I just wander around aimlessly then switch it off. It's in desperate need of DLC.

 

[Brand86]

It's quite sad...I have found most Betheseda games start slowly...have 20-30 hours of epicness when you want to spend all hours of the day playing it, then all of a sudden fizzles out. Want to complete it but got so many pointless side missions to do first...I have walked every inch of the map so many times just feels like a job now! Also if I see one more bloody dragon...!!!

 

[wag1]

I second the dragons. They got seriously tiring. Is there actually anything really interesting to find though? Even things like the weapons arent unique in any way. Maybe the mace of molog bal but thats it IIRC

 

[Brand86]

Yeh, gets a bit samey after a while...and enemies get very tiring after a bit. Hoping the story conclusion is interesting but not counting on it...

 

[oska]

Tomorrow.

 

[Christopher]

Awesome. I heard rumours on Twitter.

There are 15 Daedric weapons that are unique. It's one of the Achievements to unlock.

 

[Scutch]

Tomorrow.

[Christopher]

I don't think it's Skyrim-related.

 

[Scutch]

I hope it is

I'm still to test the new patch with the kill-cam, too.

 

[Silent_Scone]

What is Sawyer from Lost doing in Skyrim

 

[Scutch]

What is Sawyer from Lost doing in Skyrim

He's got lost, more than likely.

I also just lost the game. Cheers.

 

[Silent_Scone]

lmao.

 

[Christopher]

I hope it is

I'm still to test the new patch with the kill-cam, too.

I tried it last week.

Anticipate for weeks. Download. Wait five minutes at the title screen for the patch to be applied to your save file. Load. Wander. Shoot a bandit. Watch an arrow. Feel dejected. Eject.

 

[Silent_Scone]

I'm still discovering s**t.

You boys want to try Witcher 2 on Xbox

 

[oska]

Bumsex, no DLC. Still, it's a new game at least.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Lets pray it's not as s**t as Brink.

[Christopher]

Thought as much.

 

[Scutch]

FFSnake.

Farce.

 

[oska]

They said April though didn't they?

Finally found the Sam dude for A Night to Remember last night. Was in a tavern in Ivarstead. Didn't think to look in the smaller villages. So now got the Sanguine Rose, also the Oghma Infinium the other night. Just got 5 more Daedric artifacts to get. Now at 85 hours and level 36. Now have enough smithing for Daedric armour but need to go and mine a shitload of Ebony.

Shrine of Mehrunes Dagon has some Ebony Ingots every 7 days I believe.

 

[Beef-Mc]

New DLC available in the summer apparently.

[Scutch]

PMSL @ that one image. W*nkers.

Still, excite.

 

[Chapppers11]

F**k sake, my whole summer will be ruined.

At least it didn't come out during my exams!

 

[Scutch]

So, I was just thinking this may be the best video ever :

It doesn't really matter. Your character ends up the same as everyone elses by the end anyway....

It's quite sad...I have found most Betheseda games start slowly...have 20-30 hours of epicness when you want to spend all hours of the day playing it, then all of a sudden fizzles out.

Snap. Same here. Bingo. Spot on. Etc....

If I get beyond 70-80 hours in a Bethesda game, it really is a personal achievement. You quickly realise that underneath the seeming epicness of the game, it's actually a thin veil of repetitive grind, with woefully few choices that are yours and yours alone. Nothing I managed by the end with my character was 'unique' to my experience. Tens of thousands of other players had the same kit, the same skills, the same homeboy in tow. Which is fine if that's what the game is supposed to be. But it clearly tries to make it an unrivalled RPG experience. Which in reality, is clearly isn't.

I have no doubts (though would LOVE to be proven wrong) that the next Bethesda title will be a rehash of the same formula. I'll love it for the first part and then quickly get very bored with it.

D.

 

[Christopher]

Can't wait for the DLC now.

The one picture I've seen of it looks awesome.

 

[oska]

 

[Scutch]

Holy. F*ck.

 

[Brand86]

I just can't get excited by it. As Darren said, after a while it becomes a grind and really repetitive. I prefer the likes of Mass Effect which you can complete in 30-40 hours but a much more satisfying game. I need to complete Skyrim though after investing 120+ hours on it.
