I would even bet there are individuals in Bethesda who would be happy to put that stuff in for fans. However, from Bethesda leadership's point of view: this is pretty much the issue with the video game industry in general now. No one wants to take a risk on anything. Even Obsidian played it safe with the Outer Worlds. --- zero earnings |

It's guild stories are better though, I'll give you that. But not as far as choices, roleplaying. Player dialogue is bad in Oblivion but NPC dialogue is so much better than in Skyrim --- zero earnings |

I hate how badly magic scales... in fact, build viability in Skyrim leaves quite a bit to be desired in a game geared towards creating your own character. Magic is completely half baked in Skyrim. Like the fact that for each school of magic you are required to spend a perk point to reasonably cast master level spells and then theres only one master level spell for each school --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 02/12/21 9:59:06 AM #24 | vigorm0rtis posted... Eh... I'm not a fan of how things are going with Bethesda, but I kind of disagree. A lot of people who complain about lack of depth in worldbuilding in Skyrim didn't pay attention to the details that I liked most. You know, there's no quest attached to it, but if you fish around it looks like Rorikstead is probably filled with daedra worshippers. There's a lot of that sort of thing the game doesn't reward you tangibly for, but I like looking for it. See I agree that little things like that are great, and I do enjoy that sort of stuff, but its just easy to look at Skyrim and see so many missed opportunities. We know theres a civil war, for example, and we know the thalmor are crushing tamriel under their boot, and we know that there are separate holds in skyrim that are ideologically opposed to one another, we know that there are highborn families in the different holds, why didnt they explore these things more? Bethesda is good at worldbuilding in the sense that they can create a very detailed static world for you to inhabit, but when it comes to plotlines theyre mostly concerned with trying to center it on the player and make you a hero. I would love to have seen more fleshed out storylines involving any of the plot details I mentioned above, just generally would have loved a more reactive world that changes around you in more tangible ways --- zero earnings |

I know Howard tried to justify it with some half-assed "making magic more mysterious" nonsense, but... come on, man. I loved being able to make my own ridiculous spells in previous games. if Todd Howard spent half as much time on worldbuilding as he does on industry posturing I wouldnt have made this topic --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 02/12/21 9:42:05 AM #20 | averagejoel posted... though it's true that Skyrim's writing quality is extremely inconsistent. the Forsworn questline and the Thieves Guild questline stand out as particularly terrible it is really inconsistent, and you really notice when you get into one of the quests that is written well (e.g. most of the Daedric quests). another issue is that sometimes the narrative is fairly strong, but the questlines themselves are so condensed and everything plays out so quickly that it feels unnatural and awkward (main questline, dragonborn DLC, etc) --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 02/12/21 9:38:31 AM #18 | vigorm0rtis posted... Ah, I see. Yeah, I don't really go back to the journal. I thought the in-game books were written as well as ever, though. As to the dialogue, I disagree when it comes to Oblivion-- I think it was every bit as bad as Skyrim. Sure, the interaction minigame exists, but... I'm not sure whether that's a positive in Oblivion's case. well the main thing with the journal is that when the writing is dense and detailed, you can come back to a half finished quest after a long time and remember what is going on. In Skyrim I find myself with quests that I got at some point that just say like investigate Alftand and I dont really remember the context and the game doesnt offer any. The books were written as well as ever, Ill give them that. TES has always had very good lore. And as far as Oblivions dialogue goes, it is bad from the players perspective, as most dialogue options are single words, and the interaction minigame didnt make much sense, but the lines that other characters actually say to you were a lot more fleshed out and believable than the dialogue in skyrim. --- zero earnings |

| Try_Another___ 02/12/21 9:31:06 AM #15 | vigorm0rtis posted... ... I'm not exactly sure what you're after. That sounds like every fantasy WRPG ever. JRPGs only differ because the protagonists are always confused and need a powerpoint presentation to understand what they have to do. I mean I guess I expect a AAA blockbuster video game to seem like it was written by and for literate adults who can stand to actually read something for longer than a quick glance. Bethesda has literally done it correctly before, Oblivion and Morrowind both had dialogue and quest journal updates that were way more dense and detailed than in Skyrim --- zero earnings |

ES writing has never been particularly strong-- even Morrowind, which was probably the series' storytelling strong point, wasn't really that great when it came to the writing. like I get the writing may not be the best in ES, but in Skyrim they cant even be bothered to write anything more than like single sentences to describe each quest --- zero earnings |
