That's enough of that!

by Sethisto

Even EQD can't go past that point. Rainbow Dash had to stop Rarity before it was too late.

Looks like it's SKYRIM time!

(Thanks to Rodolfo for the original Rarity, Maximillian Veers for the Rarity vector, and Another-Story-2tell for Oblivion Dash!)

purpletraumaNovember 10, 2011 at 10:24 PM
Totally excited.

I pre-ordered it on Amazon, so I should have it by one on the release day. I'm not too over-hyped about it; some of their bragged features sound a bit dubious to me as to how well it could be pulled off. Like how they bragged about the conversation features in Oblivion that hardly anyone used.

Dynamically generated missions sound great, until you realize that that sort of crap generally results in simple and repetitive content that choose between the number/type of monsters you kill, a handful of NPC personality types, and two or three tones of voice if you're lucky.. unless they really did find an awesome way to get that feature running, chances are it'll feel same-y before you finish your first playthrough.

But will it be fun? Oh hell yes; by now that's a foregone conclusion with Elder Scrolls, especially when I heard how the new game system works. Fallout style Perks, Deus Ex (first one) style skill/class specialization, and Bioshock 2 style dual-wielding powers and weapons. That sounds like an awesome combination, especially when framed with the usual fantasy powers and open world of Elder Scrolls.
