It looks kind of fun. IDK if it looks as good as Skyrim though.
Like I say, the two are beyond comparison.
Is it a better game than Skyrim? I think so.
Is it a better RPG than Skyrim? Certainly not, and that's saying something because Skyrim's a pretty shallow RPG. Again, I don't mean to deride it, that's just the way it is.

It's not fun though...

Because just slicing the -blam!- out of everything is loads of fun.

Yup!

To you. Me and many others think it's fun. It's definitely not the most complex, though.

Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I also think melee and archery are both seriously under powered compared to magic.

Agreed, you can make crossbows that do 500+ damage with enchanting, same with swords and two-handers etc.

That's precisely why I hate Skyrim's combat.

Enchanting IS magic...

I really like both Morrowind and Skyrim's combat system, I don't know why, they are so shallow and simple. Why?
you like morrow wind combat?

DUDE ARE YOU -blam!- HIGH?

skyrim has better combat but it is still a bore fest......




im hoping they go and make the next one with the combat of chivalry.

Skyrims melee combat to me= Press A, D, A, D, A...while slamming left mouse.

Magic and Bows is where its at.

To each his own. But seriousily there's a lot of freaking people who love Skyrim's combat and Morrowind's combat.

It is not shallow, it is just simple. How would something have depth in mechanics if the fight system is simple to begin with?

But it's too simple, I don't understand how I enjoy it so much. Same goes for Halo gameplay, yes even Reach and Halo 4, too.

Because simple things are fun.
Simple things are only good if there is depth that is born as a result of that simplicity.

Skyrim's combat system is simple, but lacks depth. Dark Souls on the other hand, has a relatively simple combat system, but has a ton of depth.

Marley: next time try to be a little for inconspicuous.
John: What do you mean?
Marley: John, we grow lots of gear, right?
John: Yeah loads...
Marley: So try not to come back with a wasted girl and a packet of fertilizer!

The fighting gets less and less fun as you advance through the game. Killing a guy in one or two hits and then spinning around to combat another, then jumping down to avoid a spell or whatever, that's fun. Just mindlessly hacking and slashing at an enemy takes all the fun out of it. I'd much rather fight a whole bunch of low level guys than fight a dragon on land.

Yep. Morrowind is worse in every aspect now get over it.

  • 12.31.2012 1:38 PM PDT

Dark Souls is better

If Skyrim's combat is simple what's Oblivions?

actually the world is definitely better than the newest 2, but as of now the game is so dated that i could not get into it. i can see the appeal, i only wish i had played it when it was newer.

Got it 4 years ago, and I still have it and play it, and I disagree completely.
