Tortorella's Rant Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Well, now you know for the next one, lol. I haven't played Skyrim in months. I want to, just can't seem to build the motivation to pop it into the Playstation. Agreed. Skyrim had MASSIVE wow factor at first. But with many things, it eventually goes away. Now, when I play.. it's like.. meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Agreed. Skyrim had MASSIVE wow factor at first. But with many things, it eventually goes away. Now, when I play.. it's like.. meh. Well once you complete the main quest lines once thats kinda it. Ive done every single quest. Visited every single place. The only way Ill be playing anymore is whenever an expansion comes along. For however long it takes to do everything there. Still I got a hell of a lot more hours out of it than any other game in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Ill be playing anymore is whenever an expansion comes along. For however long it takes to do everything there. Still I got a hell of a lot more hours out of it than any other game in a long time. I'm at the same point. There's just absolutely nothing left for me to do. According to Skyrim, my playthrough is currently 370 hours in. Barely any of that was away from keyboard, and what was could be replaced and overtaken by the time's having to reload saves and all. That's not just more time than I've ever spent on a game in a long time, it's very likely the most I've spent on a game ever (and by a fairly large margin.) And that's just one playthrough, lol. But I think for me, due to the very linear nature of the story of the game and most quests, I don't feel like starting up another one just yet. I mean there's different races and character builds to master, but at least for now the incentive is lacking. It's a game I'll probably dust off for another full playthrough in a year or two. I'm still very ready for more expansion packs though. More stuff like Dawnguard would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 You spelled Morrowind wrong. Nay, for Morrwind hath already been raised upon the pedestal of greatness! Lo, the minor flaws it does posses are greatly out shadowed by it's sheer grandeur! And mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensive Threat Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Xbox release then another month till its available on PC...Least Im not on PS3. Dont they realize the proper way to do expansions is to have the next one ready to go the instant I finish the last one. So unprofessional.

DollarAndADream Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think they should have their whole company working on fixing the PS3 expansions, rather than release more and more for 360 and PC before the first one on PS3 is out...

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 They're still making money though, it's not like because it's not working for PS3 they aren't making anything. People on Xbox and PC are still paying them and so they are still making a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Got hearthfire finally for PC off of steam. Not as good as an expansion or anything but worth the $5? Yeah, sure, why not. Built 2 houses complete with every addition you can put on plus the stable, cow, fishing thing, etc. For kids theres a little girl in the orphanage who has the very creepy comment "Kill one person, and you can solve so many problems. I wonder at the possibilities." Yeah, shes a future serial killer, I took her as one of my adopted kids. The materials needed for building a house and its contents, for the most part, are about as easy to get together without becoming tedious as possible. It takes some time but it ends up being a pretty big place and theres lots of stuff to put in it. So yeah, Hearthfires no big deal but its nice. I haven't checked it out yet. Can you build your house anywhere on the map? I have a few places I'd love to make a house. I noticed there are some other house building mods on the workshop but I suppose those aren't as good as Hearthfire since the mods were created by the public vs Bethesda?

There are only 3 locations you can build homes. One each in Falkreath, Morthal, and Dawnstar. It's better than any mods out there I know of, mainly because of the interactions with your kids, and the few dynamic events. Plus this just blends in more seamlessly with the rest of the game, as an official add-on would. The whole thing is meant more for 360 gamers who don't have the ability to mod their games, but even on PC it's still a decent buy. Just something nice to have in the background during your campaign to beat the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for complete freedom; build whatever model you want, wherever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
