Skryim sucks. Don't have good melee combat = worthless. Maybe if codders implement mnb combat and multiplayer and dual wielding.
Looking at my friendslist on steam I'd say Skyrim is to blame.
I played both Oblivion and Fallout 3. Skyrim, from what I've seen and heard, just combined elements from these 2 games into 1 game, added the new dual wielding, then dumbed it down by removing features that older Elder Scrolls games had. OK, that could be a fun game, but is it worth $60 when I could just play an older Bethesda game? With more features?

"I bought it for the modding community."
Oblivion and Morrowind still have active modding communities. Just play those and save $60.
This is the company that introduced the plague of DLC (horse armor, just $2!). I like them less and less with every new release.
could not be farther from the truth. it is thee most amazing gma ei have ever played. i thoguht it was going to be the same shit, and boy was i wrong. SHIII...... I want it now :mad:. Sadly I have to wait alllllll the time till the weekend. Although I have brought mw3..... Let's just say I have already gone back go crpg and leave out an all caps rage tht will probz ban me :cry:
It´s Just skyrim.In about a Month everybody will be playing cRPG again.
/edit: EARTHD!Why did you give me -1?Just for your knowledge, I didnt mean it´s "Just" skyrim, I meant that the reason for people not playing cRPG is only Skyrim and none other.
I mean....work, girlfriend.....sleeping...food....the days are too short!

Games are too easy this day. They're always like "do this, do that". Not like morrowind and the "you are here. now be gone - wtf?" beginning. But then again, only high schoolers have enough time to enjoy such open worlds. Crappy casual players! Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
One big thing i have noticed on the TES serie.
The game has come a lot easier since morrowind and it is weakening the fun to play it.
i.e. with options to take quest pointers out from the game would add a lot for it.
You can turn off the active quest and you won't get the pointers.
Lol ill never forget taking High Elf and starting with heavy armour and longsword. Trying to kill just a mudcrab was an effort lol...
bla, bla, bla
You're living in dreams. :)
I had these exact thoughts (a bit extended) some years ago but i realized it's not gonna happen anytime soon. We'd all make great "game developers" in theoretical part but when it comes to actually getting it done........we fail.:)(click to show/hide)(click to show/hide)
Leshma - get a dos emulator, find the game "Darklands" in abandonware website and you will have found exactly what you are looking for (might like "Betrayal at Krondor" too). I go back and play great games like that and the gold box games from the early 1990s all the time, so much more fun than most graphics-dependent games that have the writing and story of a tv sitcom.
Never got that running, but I played "Return to Krondor" more than just once, though it's not very open world.
Yes you can, but game is still easy.
I always liked realistic games and realistic RPGs are my favourite. That's why I like games made by Piranha Bytes and BethSoft the most.
Skyrim imho is as good as patched Gothic 3 (really good game by todays standards) but I would like something more realistic.
For example, I would like to play RPG without journal, inventory, hp bar, char indicators and without hints. Also quests will have to be non-linear and completely independent of my actions or presence (no silly switches when my char get near). Also dialogs would have to be like in those textual adventures where you type the questions and get the answers (most kids nowadays wouldn't be able get any info at all).
In short: you can't carry more than 40/60/80 kilos and run, without bags you can't do anything else while carrying stuff, you manually put stuff into bags you can't fight properly if your limbs are injured (something fallout has but elder scrolls games don't), you have to sleep/eat/drink (unless you have special perk or are an vampire), you don't have automated journal, instead you have to write stuff you think are important, you ask questions you want not the predefined questions, you're leveling in the background and only feedback you will get is from fighting (no stats page) etc.
Now that would be the game I'll willingly waste a quarter of my day. Being 25 years old and someone who's playing actively video games for 14 years, who wasted 3 months of his life on Elder Scrolls III, who saw major improvement in PC graphics both after ESIII and ESIV came out, I must say that Skyrim is really good game by today's standards.
But actually for me, it's the game which belongs to the past and I'm again saddened that 10 years has passed and nothing worth of mention has happened in gaming industry.
I can't play Skyrim mainly because I've finished Morrowind fully (100%, every single quest done). When Oblivion came out, I've tried it, finished the main story but couldn't bother to finish it because the game was poorly designed (no adventuring at all...) and I got sick of Bethesda quests. Then I've played Fallouts and again those BethSoft quests again (but game was fun to explore). After that I've finally picked Gothic 3 with community patch and was stunned how better it is than Oblivion. It's epic game for adventurers because of three completely different regions (like in Morrowind).
Now there is Skyrim which is basically Morrowind with some features taken out, some new features, same ol' BethSoft quests and a lot of snowy mountains. If anyone can tell me that I'll find some city or place or anything that doesn't look like the first 3 starting towns I'll continue playing for the sake of adventuring. But finishing crappy BS main quest and silly side quests isn't my cup of tea anymore.

A game like that wouldn't sell and most of us would find that horribly boring. Why don't you just "house-rule" those things? Most of what you say can be achieved in Skyrim, you just self-enforce it.
Don't even need to make a mod. Just decide to eat every 6 hours, for example. Or carry only 60 lb of stuff. If that's your thing.
You know what, smartass?
Do you see that wall right in front of you?
Imagine it's a screen, then imagine wonderful real life state of the art graphics, million times better than Skyrim. It's already epic, isn't it?
But we're not done yet. Now imagine combat system ten times more complex than the one M&B has, with all the mounted combat (dragon mounts, bear mounts, mammoth mounts just imagine the possibilities).
Then imagine yourself being in the game, famous and rich and all the bundle of stickss you've met while playing c-rpg begging for spare change while you're in diamond armour on a Fenrir you've tamed yourself during a quest of blah blah blah. And everywhere on the street people shout: Xant! Xant! Here comes the great champion Xant! He's so handsome! He's so well endowed!
It's really something, isn't it? Imagination I mean.
But I want to play the damn game, not to imagine things..
I dont understand! can people not play more then one game at a time? :D its like you people can ONLY play Skyrim for 5 hours a day or crpg

I wasn't being a smart ass. But hey, suit yourself. If it's too hard to to restrict yourself from doing things that you dislike doing or actually (gasp!) press "eat" on the food you're carrying every now and then (you want the game to force you...) then, well... continue whining about the game not being a real-life simulator, eh?

I cannot deny. Although I haven't played warhammer for nearly a decade... only because I couldn't afford it anymore.
Problem with TES series is simple, it's damn SINGLE PLAYER. You play against SKILL-LESS BOTS who fight in easy to predict pattern and you as a player can exploit the shit out of their poor ai. This alone make this game virtually unplayable.
Plays just fine on my end, bots are actually smarter than the ones in Mount and Blade too. :lol:
I'd actually like to have an hardcore immersion mod. Not everyone's thing but I'd love it. It would include:Don't you realise?!?!? PEOPLE COULD DIE!!!!!!!
- removal of fast travel
- need to eat, drink and sleep, maybe accelerated by activity such as fighting (after clearing a dungeon one should be tired)
- in return getting rid of time compression or at least nerfing it
- making crafting and enchanting gains more difficult at higher levels, for example not improving with crafting cheap ass iron daggers after a certain point(with that an aspiring crafter would have to hunt for rare materials to reach master level)
- giving each material strengths and weaknesses to make item choice less linear
- in return getting rid of time compression or at least nerfing it
You can actually make time 1:1 with a console command!
"set timescale to 1" is real time. 16 is the default.
What do you mean, the rest of the game doesn't change?For example if the timescale is 16 - you need like 3 days if you run from one city to another, but if you set it to 1 (real time) you can do it in 1 hour.

That doesn't really make sense.How about chopping wood in five seconds instead of 5 minutes? Does that make sense?
Oh yeah, i noticed rivers have currents? Or was it something else :P

Maybe you won't play such complex and dynamic game (although I know that you're full of shit and that you would enjoy it just as I would).
Been experiencing the same thing. I had to take a long break, i left cRPG when there was at least 100+ people playing.. even outside prime-times. No that i am back i have seen fewer people playing, Skyrim is a factor ofcourse. But even few days before Skyrim less people where playing.
What im seeing ingame, is that people tend to play cRPG more casual now. Hardly any leet-speech or players in competitve mode, or grinding there ass off.
Like 50-60players on EU1, 20-30 players on EU2. EU3 is empty
Dead Mod, Mod is Dying
It happened suddenly. Several days ago number of players decreased dramatically. Around the same time Panos was banned. Coincidence?
Ok. 31. Your game still sounds like suck to me. Why on earth would I want to play some tedious, repeat: TEDIOUS, LIFE SIMULATOR. I already live one life that is filled with tedious necessities. Why would I want to torture myself with spending my free time on another tedious life, that doesn't even benefit my real life in any way?
Oh, there's a small niche crowd like you that would enjoy it sure (the term masochist comes to mind) but that's it. Small. Niche. Crowd.
Only way that would even remotely be fun would be with Matrix style technology, and even then I would want respawning and a bunch of the tedium removed. Like having to use the bathroom. Or eating. Or sleeping. You know how much life you lose sleeping? Yeah. Fuck that shit.

Maybe some guys got a girlfriend now and dont care about stupid games with stupid players?
Oh wow! Congrats! Did you kiss already? I mean real kissing, on the mouth. What I always wated to know: do you feel the other's teeth when kissing someone else on the mouth or not?Why so serious?
Oh please tell me, I wanna knowso bad.
P.S.: Did your tongues touch? If they did: wow! :shock:
Why so serious?
Tired of jerking on Youporn... :|I got it, you mean you still have to play this stupid game with stupid players.
Really, I jerk so much, I already had to switch my mouse from right to left side for good, although I am right handed... :(
I got it, you mean you still have to play this stupid game with stupid players.
Regarding to your question. Siiem must know, his farting vagina touches Xant´s lostab very often. Ok this is no regular kissing but you could ask him.
Thanks mate! :DWait wait, what was the point of our dialogue?
But I fear those new infos won't make my tennis elbow any better :?

Main problem with that game is that leveling is the same bullshit as it was 15 years ago. It's broken and it will always be broken unless they choose to redesign it.
Most RPG have the same problem but majority use different system with levels which require fixed amount of XP, and after that you can upgrade your char (typical crpg, or pen&paper system like in AD&D).
Elder Scrolls games use more realistic approach where you progress is based on what you do during the game. But it's broken and you can abuse it.
It makes no sense that grandmaster two handed warrior leveled from novice just by swinging his sword the same way for, lets say, 50 hours. I can jump in place for 3 months every day and I'll never become good basketball player.
What they should do is to implement that awesome system from that silly console game called Tony Hawk Pro Skater and tweak it a little bit.
For example, you're novice in two handed sword mastery, you want to get better so you practice and fight. Your progress depends of what you do and it's mainly based on creativity. So if you're creative and don't attack using the same pattern all over again, you will progress. There should be some algorithm which will measure creativity. I would do it by previously recording all possible combinations of moves and those which look the most elegant would grant most XP.
Only change I would make would be to eliminate time as skill factor and make so that you can downgrade from grandmaster back to novice if you play bad. Such system would be awesome for most rpgs and especially for MMORPGs and I would like to see it in c-rpg as well.
Every competitive game should reward skill (reflexes) and intellegence (smart play). Sadly, time is the only thing that matters in modern games, skill is marginalized.
