You also

Also some awesomely fun and funny quests at ten penny tower.

NightAngel79 · August 30th, 2011, 10:59 PM

I just hated the inventory system and the overall slowness (seemingly) of how the story developed/got going (or how it didn't for me, lol)

alostpacket · August 30th, 2011, 11:18 PM

Yeah it took a good 2hrs for things to really get interesting. I was some 60+ hours of gameplay if you did a lot of side quests so.

I can't imagine you playing Dragon Age: Origins though -- that games was over 100 hrs long... to say it took awhile is..... well...

I have dragon age, lol
It was no mass effect but I admit to never finishing it. Didn't really care for the combat

One of the best RPG's I've ever played imo. Finished all the DLC's and everything. Maxed out a character of each class.

You sure do need to finish, and then pick up Dragon Age 2 once you're done.

so much this.

A lot of DA:O fans didnt really like DA2 but i loved both of them, even though they were very different games.

DA:O has a really, really deep story though if your explore it. The backstory of the old gods/Tevinter and Andraste is fascinating.

I think i might play some da2 right now. my DW rouge was such a crit monkey --- pure liquid damage lol

I had way to much trouble getting good at the combat in origin... Ended up putting it on easy, then quit playing

Hey its been a while and I'm all Mass effect! lol

Warrior... meh... something about the combat i just cant jive with.. still haven't messed with demo for part 2 but if i cant force myself to finish the first then i dont deserve to play the second... lol

Xyro · September 4th, 2011, 10:47 AM

I thought the combat in DA2 was better. A lot of people thought the game overall was worse though.

Hahaha

I think just focus on Strength and Constitution (HP) and make sure to have a healing mage around. I also played a shield warrior as my main. Slow but she was still the best DPS in the party.

I also always ended up taking 2 mages and gave them both some healing - though Wynne was clearly a better healer and Morrigan better dps. Then of course Leliana to pick locks and woo me with that sexy ambiguously European accent.

Yeah it was definitely lacking in some areas, but i enjoyed the combat and story. Esp. the way the story was told.

The re-used environments were just terrible. But I dug the game overall,

VegasOnAcid · September 4th, 2011, 02:47 PM

How long is skyrim supposed to be hours wise. Strictly main story line.

NYCHitman1 · September 8th, 2011, 12:52 PM

I would imagine about 40-50 hrs.

I don't hate fallout, I appreciate it as a great game. It just ended up boring the shit out of me.

alostpacket · September 20th, 2011, 08:03 PM

Fallout gets much more fun if your acquire some of the unique weapons.

Toasting a Death Claw with the Firelance is big fun

Xyro · October 24th, 2011, 12:52 PM

Two and a half weeks!

I was pretty annoyed to find out I don't have the following week off like I thought I did.

alostpacket · October 24th, 2011, 11:15 PM

I dont even thing a week would be enough time if it's anything like oblivion heh

9to5cynic · October 24th, 2011, 11:24 PM

We're getting close aren't we! I remember the very first thing I did when learning php was create a skyrim count down. No joke.

I think fallout is great fun. I've enjoyed all of them (though I didn't give fallout 1 a big playthough). Also didn't give morrowind as much time as I'd have liked to.

But SKYRIM!!!!!! I can't wait to use the bows. I am gonna arrow a bandit right in the head. Maybe pull a William Tell..?

SKYRIM!

dmodert66 · October 30th, 2011, 12:56 AM

I can't wait for this game. I'll be playing it until SW:TOR comes out in late December. I sat through the press demo for this at E3 and the Dragon Battles are freaking epic!

You see the latest trailers? Pet dragon action?

NYCHitman1 · October 31st, 2011, 08:59 AM

11.. more.. days..

alostpacket · October 31st, 2011, 03:54 PM

Oh boy, I didn't realize it was so close. Oh well there goes thanksgiving....

....and Christmas....and the next 2-3 years.

gallandof · October 31st, 2011, 06:53 PM

wow nor did I 11-11-11 feels so much furthur away, I cant wait! looks like dark souls is going to have to wait till next year

Great game, but hard as hell!

9to5cynic · November 3rd, 2011, 10:09 PM

Imperial Scum! (like the guards from oblivion

)

The last week is the longest week to wait.

But, I do think we should look back on the time we've waited. Remember freaking out when the E3 footage was shown? Seeing those huge mammoths, the dragons...

Oh, did anyone happen to see the 'Behind the Wall' on the ES site? It showed dragons fighting! Awesome!

Thank you kind sir.

NYCHitman1 · November 4th, 2011, 08:30 AM

Sad sad day for me when I realized I just might not be picking up Skyrim anymore

Just don't have the time for it. I also couldn't decide between 360/PC version.

VegasOnAcid · November 4th, 2011, 09:38 AM

I have had this for like 3 days now. Pretty fun, and I am not even into these type of games. Are there any good preorder deals, I have only seen preorders that get you a map..

Bramsy · November 4th, 2011, 10:57 AM

you and your methods.........

i have only seen the map also, so i think we're stuck there! PM coming your way

9to5cynic · November 7th, 2011, 09:00 PM

!!! Woah.... Here we go. Three days and some change (if your in for a midnight release...)

Getting real excited on this end. Playing some Oblivion to get in the mood. Also downloaded the old games (Arean and Daggerfall) from Bethsda's site, though I've yet to install them.

I am so excited for bows, gonna blast some bandits from afar, then sneak around and knife them. I can't wait to do some enchanting.

@Vegas, am I correct to assume that you found a copy in some store?

/*
Also, there has been some live streams going, I checked one out, but the fool isn't doing too much in the way of side quest / random dungeons. Just the MQ mostly. It's still pretty cool though, just gotta watch out for spoilers. I've limited myself to this one video and the official vids like Todd Howard's E3 demo footage.

I have a modded xbox.

But, game is really fun actually. I thought this would take a back seat to COD and BF for me, but I think it will get most of my time for the next few months.

My biggest gripe is when you use a shield, and you preform the killshots, there is tons of clipping in the animations. Lots of random stuff happens when just walking from town to town, very organic, fun stuff.

Xyro · November 8th, 2011, 11:50 AM

I saw this today, seems relevant:

NightAngel79 · November 8th, 2011, 12:06 PM

Thats awesome!!

(would show up better though if you posted with hide tags and let forum resize it i would think, i had to do mass scrolling to see on work pc's)

I edited hide tags in about 30 seconds after posting. You must've been quick off the mark

i meant if they weren't in hide tags then the forum would resize the pic automatically. since they are in hide tags when you click 'show' it gets so big that you have to scroll for 10 minutes to see all of it

Odd, my browser shrinks it, hide tags or not.

Blame Phases

9to5cynic · November 8th, 2011, 08:46 PM

Love that pic xyro, especially the drawings. And the massive size of the image is clearly a direct reference to the massive size of (I'm assuming and based on interviews...) skyrim.
(And if not skyrim, at least the Throat of the World...)

Anyone else having skyrim dreams? It's depressing waking from them because it's still days until the release. I pray to the Nine that Skyrim launches before I fall to the influence of deadra princes (except Azura).

Rudedawg · November 10th, 2011, 10:31 PM

So im creeping around at night along a town wall and woooah wTF is this I see. I could almost be playing RAGE ....oh wait a minute thats Bethesda too

Yeah I also can't decide between 360/PC. I think I'm leaning towards the PC since it's going to be a more in-depth game. Something about RPG's screams PC to me but I have never played one on a console.

Buying it on PC is worth it for the possibility of mods alone, in my opinion.
