Ho-ly shit this game. I thought the thieves guild quests where pretty cool, it feels more like I'm being a spy than a thief. Being sent out to other cities to preform corporate espionage, work over contacts and such. but shit just got real on my last mission. aside from the plot I don't want to reveal, it involved me and…
One of the screenshots id released for Rage -- while explicitly talking up how awesome the animation system was and how characters interacted in the world -- had a characters foot going straight into the floor. I was going to make a point with that but, actually, it's just a funny observation. Too many possible reasons to…
Maybe I should have gotten it for PC? Because I want my money back. Played it for about an hour before it crashed my xbox. This could be the worst lighting engine I have ever seen on the 360. At any given time 40% of my screen is flat black, even during the day. The shadows and shading are abysmal, and that whole HDR focus…
I think stats have their place. Stats like strength/dex increasing movement speed/dodging or enabling you to wield larger weapons or heavier armor while retaining mobility is something that can play a role without removing player skill from the get go. But again, i dont really mind numbers as a system when a game its…
***Falls not so much for me, but enemy damage for sure. Random enemies will sometimes be extremely tough for no apparent reason, or have super strong attacks. There's something wrong with the level scaling because it just seems to keep fluctuating. When I was lvl 15-20 I was reaping my way across the countryside smacking…
This game is huge. Picked it up at midnight last night, my wife and I played it for about 7 hours in total. This game feels drastically different than Oblivion to me. If you were expecting to step out into the world and explore like crazy kicking ass - think again. I tried walking from where you pop out to uh...some city…
Try using Grand Soul Gems you nut. The effect of the enchant scales with the size of the Soul Gem. While a Common Soul Gem will only add say 3 health a Grand Soul Gem adds 20. It was the same way in Oblivion. Also if you were so invested in enchanting you surely put perks into the Enchanting tree? I don't even have any…
I'll start out by saying i dont mind the RPG genre at all. RPG's and stats as a "Thing"... I guess a game like WoW or FF7 are clearer examples, whereby grinding is required in order for you to overcome problems. However its only really an issue in WoW when you play a meatshield kinda character, that has to trade blows...…
I have been sucked into the world of skyrim for a few days now and totally love it. I have to paint and decorate my new house and when I get home at about 10 p.m. I play till I suddenly realize it's 3 a.m. :) My best friend doesn't want me around when he plays a new game for the first time as I always tend to explain every…
