I have the same gripes with the combat and the world, but idk, I guess maybe it was just a bit better designed world. Or maybe I just got burnt out with the style. It's been super long since I've played it, and really I only played probably 50 or so hours with vanilla (maybe 30 more messing around with mods), which is really chump change in Elder Scrolls games.<br /><br />And thank you and feel free to write reviews and use whatever sort of rating graphic you want (even if you want to do scores out of 4 or 10 or 100 all are welcome)The_Red_Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525942292730958810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7477061603581259013.post-60877024570201850442012-05-15T21:04:40.083-07:002012-05-15T21:04:40.083-07:00You make some extremely valid points.

I completely agree with your comparison of the game to a dead end job, for that's exactly what it felt like for me, and probably why I stopped playing. In fact, the most fun I had with the game was when I decided to take advantage of a leveling glitch and essentially play god for a while. It allowed me to instantly gain full access to the skills etc. but as expected, such antics are rarely gratifying for prolonged periods.<br /><br />It's funny, because I've played Oblivion and I feel completely differently about it than I do Skyrim. I don't know if I simply liked the world, characters, and quests more, that I myself was a bit more imaginitive and entranced while playing, or that it was due to the fact that my cousin and I had great fun discussing our adventures in the game. What's even funnier is that he also did not enjoy Skyrim, the very same man who put in 150+ hours into Oblivion.<br /><br />I'm totally digging the review formatting too, it's sweet.Scott Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02167176839992502556noreply@blogger.com
