Skyrim

[Unrighteous]

Is anyone else playing this game here? It's pretty excellent, and I was surprised that there was no thread on this forum about it.

 

Elder Scrolls fans unite!

Erm.... The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.

[Unrighteous]

Damnit!

 

Alright, thanks Dynamite! Teach me not to look past the first page.

I see on steam they have decided to charge for mods. I think it's absolutely shite idea. They have taken something creative that people enjoyed doing and creating an online community of practiced talents people learning about creating games developing on each other's ideas and they have monetized it. Taking upto 70 percent of the profits themselves for doing nothing. How long before game creators just become completly lethargic let moders fix all the bugs for pittance and just take a cut. The whole modding was like a fan base community that people shared each other's work, used each other's work and now there's arguements already about someone making profit on a mod that was initially created by them but adapted by someone else.

 

Most mods are bug ridden anyway. Just seems like they have taken something good and positive and corrupted it.

Good.

 

It wasn't the worst idea, but it was opening a can of worms and no one was going to benefit in the long run.

The older version of Harry Enfield's Stavros.

Anyone ordering the new Skyrim? I loved the original but don't fancy buying the new one as I rarely go on the internet and can't be doing with buying Xbox live just for this.

Unsure what to do. I loved single player RPGs, I can imagine online being full of over levelled players.

The witches 3 is the next big rpg I'm going for. Loved the last 2.

Witcher

how does it compare to elder scrolls?

Witcher 1 and 2 are stupidly cheap on Steam right now if you want to try them.

Isn't the map on witcher 3 almost double that of gta v. Grown up RPG you see titties and dwarves call you a cocksucker. What's not to like. I might save buying it until I've got some time off work, book a sneaky week off without telling the missus until it's too late for her to take time off then have a week sat infront of my tv playing the witcher 3, eating bacon frazzles wearing nothing but my muppets lounge pants and a satisfied grin.

 

Yeah that's what I'll do.

I got Witcher 2 for free of Xbox Games For Gold a while back, but had some other titles that needed finishing before starting it, so haven't got round to it yet, but it's a good one you say?

[setreal]

I finished Witcher 1 fairly recently and really liked it. What puts people off most is the combat I guess, but I was fine with it - it is like a timing-minigame, so you have to keep your cool even when suirrounded by enemies. No button mashing.

 

It is a bit like Mass Effect in a medieval setting (paragon-renegade), without all the squad stuff of course.
