Character development was not (dont level too soon).Cons:Very, very bland. If you would like a "sleeper" that no one would look twice at. I thought it was clever and realistic. No "soul."Levelling system is terrible (character advancement, enemies, & loot)Aiming system is terribleLockpicking systemEnemy variety (lack-of)Initially, i liked hopping around and healing everywhere. Above that, enemies are all the same with different skins.
I really dislike the "feel" of the game. NEVER. There is a huge disconnect between the gamer and the character. The best way to put it is with an analogy. This is the only game that i have ever looked at a peak in the distance, and decided to go there just for the view from on top.
I actually forced myself to try to like this game, but when it came down to it, i just couldnt. Being an open-world game, it is always enjoyable to just explore. Very, very boring. This is a terrible feature, and one that should NEVER EVER be featured in a RPG. However, it really just devolved into spamming. This fits into the feel of the game as well.
It feels empty to me. The more you do things, the better you get at them. I thought it was nice to be able to purchase a house to store all those items in. That aforementioned disconnect is what killed it for me (as well as Fallout 3). Lockpicking is my last dig, but it didnt affect my score. They spent all the dev time on the scenery, so it is a bit forgivable, but not including dragons is lunacy. Then more spamming. Aiming magic and arrows is just awful (it was sad to see them implement the same mechanics into Fallout 3, albeit they added V.A.T.S).
Others have called it bland and boring, which it was to me, but i feel it was more than that. There are many good things, but much more "bad."Pros:BEAUTIFUL landscapesBuying a house is niceExploring is funCharacter customizationThe landscapes in this game are really well rendered. I am at a loss on that one (might have been in the manual, which i did not get with the game).I did play about thirty or so hours. I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to do it effectively. Leveled monsters and loot. The game felt outright EMPTY. If you like cars that look pretty, with amazing paint jobs, great lines, big rims, but dont do anything when you step on the gas, you will probably like this game. Character customization was innovative for its time, and fun to mess around with.
But even in the biggest towns, the game just felt dead.I think when it comes down to it, people just like different games. I dont know if i can do any better to describe this, so ill stop at that. No, i dont want Halo mechanics (i did like Combat Evolved), but it just handled really terribly. Of course there were NPCs, and enemies, etc. until you hit the throttle, you probably will not like this game.I could not force myself to like this game (and i really tried, my mistake)., but your mileage may vary (to keep that car analogy going)As with --ALL-- games, rent before you buy.
The game was exactly what i hoped for and i recieved it in near perfect condition in about 2 days.
I play it on my 52in Sony at 1080p. Great game for the XBOX360. Enjoy it very much. Graphics are great and game play is smooth.
I've been into the Elder Scrolls since Morrow-wind.This is great improvement.It's somewhat tedious but it's nice and long.This is one of the best RPGs I've ever played.Nothing further to add.
Excellent. I am so glad I got this for my brother. It came very quick and he is having a blast.
