I am not worried about the game at all. I know it will be a great one to lay. What worries me the most is the PS3 version because Bethesda refuses to show any footage of it.

All I'm worried about is whether I'll have enough time!

I'm not worried about the gameplay, I think they've refined it to where it's more or less as good as you can expect in a game like this, for this generation. What I am worried about is the story, I found Oblivions main quest to be very dull story wise, what saved it for me was the Dark Brotherhood side missions.

If Skyrim has a crappy main story it's going to put a big dent in this game for me.

i like what im seeing and reading about this game
but TBH i dont want to hype it OR get hyped (and im not hyped about this game)
because HYPE = disappointment at the end

just keep it simple
what im looking for is the next fallout using this engine
should be really nice
and im looking forward to this game too
but not like day one craziness

I agree that Oblivion had some issues crafting it's own special universe.

I really wish that someone would take the mirrodin universe and make a game world based off of that.

A world made of metal is just too awesome in my opinion..

Everything the Author of this articles is complaining about was fixed witht he Shivering Isles Expansion Pack. If you took the time to play that you'd See that Bethesda didn't forget about the fantasy aspect. It was in some ways a lot like the level design of morrowind but with richer atmosphere.

The only thing I am worried about is my GPA.

Your just going to have be worried. I am not. I enjoyed morrowind and it's expansions. And I enjoyed oblivion and it's respective dlc. No oblivion did not allow me to make insane magic that could allow me to do virtually anything including fly across the map like morrowind did. No oblivion didn't allow me to change into a werewolf like I enjoyed in morrowind. But oblivion is just that, oblivion. Morrowind is not skyrim. And right now I am silly happy that another elder scrolls game was even made.

So I will go into skyrim expecting diffrences that do no or did exists in the past games. I will forgive the small issues of magic restrictions for shouts and dragons. I will forgive the new leveling system that yes has similarities to fallout 3 not oblivion's but not for all enemies. We are actually getting both morrowind and fallout 3's leveling system in one. Not all enemies will level to your character, some will be beyond your ability to defeat them, but if by chance you do win, you will be granted a bonus for overcoming a powerful foe. Plus skyrim has DRAGONS! Lots of them! Automatic win!

I think everyone needs to calm down a little. Everyones tired etc etc.

Skyrim is the culmination of many years of refinement for the RPG genre. I'm 31 and started gaming when I was 6. The first RPG I really got into was 'Eye of the beholder'. You controlled a party of adventurers down linear corridors. The colour did the job, the characters were fun and I enjoyed myself. Thats the point kids, if you want a world to explore thats rich and pretty much anything you can imagine open the curtains, pack a bag and go travelling.

I see no reason why this young man has a reason to be worried, but I'm worried about the amount of people writing poor reviews for games on metacritic that are just seriously irrational.

Skyrim will never be perfect, because everyones idea of perfection is different.

I agree that certain companies have created bland titles to appease the masses but games such as 'the witcher 2' have created really interesting worlds but yet again they might not be everyones cup of tea.

My point is that the reason why this article was created was because the guy who wrote it gets to play free games all day and has to review them as part of his job and had to write some shitty article about the title, in short he is spoilt. I'm sure the guy he was when he played elder scrolls is very much different to the journalist you see before you now, perhaps when he played elder scrolls he too had a glint of childhood left remaining in his dark soul. Fine he found oblivion worse than the elder scrolls but I'v never played it and perhaps if I went back i'd think it looked shit. Oblivion was a great game, looking back I can pick faults but that would just be pointless.

So dear boys do not fret. And you young man,stop worrying like a girl, play the game and I expect an impartial review on my desk by the 10th of November. Class dismissed.

i just hope TES wont lose its touch :(

tell someone who gives a flying fux..look what miracle happened to the withcher 2 wow amazing change and the peasants rejoiced yaaayyyyy

I guess I was lucky because Oblivion was my first exposure to RPG gameplay. I have been a gamer since 1981, but never crossed that path. Because of that, I love Oblivion, and can't wait to get lost in the world that Bethesda makes for me. The moment I left the sewers, I didn't touch the main quest until about the 80 hour mark. I topped out at 180 hours for a single play through. THAT to me is a quality game. I can overlook bugs by carrying lots of game saves.

The whole "Bethesda" tag should be enough to make anyone worry. They're not exactly the most reliable developers out there.

New physics engine is where much of my excitement is at.

But I can understand the worries.

why im not worried: (blank)

I can't believe this guy said that Dragon Age would have anything over Skyrim or Oblivion... Dragon age had a nice atmosphere but it was boring and dull... It had decent voice acting and nice characters but had a terrible background. Go read some George R.R. Martin or Robert Jordan and you'll get me... Oblivion was great! Come on try to remember... Martin Septim, from priest to warrior to Emperor

I wish people would stop crying over Morrowind. Its not Morrowind 2 and it probably never will be, it's a different game, take it as it is or go with Dark Souls.

Actually, Todd Howard said something along the same lines in an interview; Morrowind was "alien" (in a good way), wish lush, unique environments, where Oblivion was more "typical" fantasy/adventure.

dont care, still want

Oblivion was better than Morrowind. There's a reason it got a higher Metacritic score.

I'm not really worried.. I suppose it's because I'm not anal-retentive or crictical about the games I play...

I've never bought games to discuss framerates or bugs or whatever else... I solely play games that I think I will enjoy..

when did everyone get lost in the technical side of gaming??? none of us make games, we fucking play them... so stick with what you know.. you only know the games you've played...

don't compare, don't assume.. that's how you get let down... don't go by ratings.. it's like your using someone else to choose your game..

that's when gaming has lost it's meaning.. we weren't mean't to argue and bicker over this and that.. we were all mean't to play them and experience the world...

sure they may not live up to everyone's expectations... but at the same time the developers are making the games they envision for us and themselves.. 100% will never agree.

just play the games.... I'm not worried.. who cares... if it's even remotely like oblivion it will be incredible... if it's in a class of it's own it will be wonderful. if it's a little like morrowind it will be wonderful... if it's like all of them it will be wonderful. and even if it's like none of them it will be incredible.

play the games you like. use your judgement.. it's a game.. made to be played... not to be analyzed and debated to death.

i'm worried about the time that i will spend playing skyrim and yes i will have no social life until i'm done with skyrim

i dont care about 1 item armors and whatever, on pc modders will change everything and it will be awesome

As a long time Elderscroll fan, I have to say that I've been a bit concerned about Skyrim myself. While I'm excited about the game, every announcement from Bethesda seems to mention either changing or removing long established features of the series. While I did enjoy Oblivion and have it both for my PC and PS3, (pc so I can enjoy the mods and PS3 for when I want to relax in an easy chair with a controller,) IMHO it was still not in the class of Morrowind, which still remains my standard of measurement for modern CRPGs.
