Would you kindly fuck off?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

oh shit another skyrim thread

better bump it

 

[hoopy]

Well I for one am not giving you the satisfaction of bumping your stupid thread.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Wait, WAIT, thrown/moving objects cause damage in Skyrim? Can I relive the great moment in Thief Deadly Shadows were a servant noticed me and started running away screaming, until I picked up a crate and threw it at him, hitting him in the head and killing him instantly?

GAME OWNZ

 

[Awor Szurkrarz]

What the fuck ?

 

[torpid]

Wait, so every time you're low on health, the game shows that "your health is low, better drink a potion" message? Talk about handholding.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Wait, so every time you're low on health, the game shows that "your health is low, better drink a potion" message?

No

 

[Excidium]

It doesn't, just on the first time you health/mana/stamina is low. But yeah, p. dumb.

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Well all AAA game tutorials/hints nowadays are made for people who have never played a single game, strategy games used to have good tutorials with possibility to skip "I'm new to strategy games" part but now it's just being forced on everyone.

Still, I don't blame that since if you're not a gamer then "drinking a potion" probably wouldn't be a instinctive action for you.

Whereas in Morrowind your instructions were "these are the basic interaction keys" and "please don't try and use your speech skills on Sellus Gravius, at this point you'd probably just piss him off".

Here's a good mixture of old and new. You've probs seen them before:

Seems like the blacksmith was going to give him the quest (around 0:36)but our ADD hero couldn't keep his fingers away from the left mouse button for a second.

On the one hand it's pretty cool that they can't simply see through the buckets, but on the other hand WTF?!!

 

[Erzherzog]

"Emergent gameplay"

 

[DraQ]

"Emergent gameplay"

Why is it that from oblivious onward bethesda is only successful (extremely so, I have to admit) at emergent gameplay if it means "emergent derp"?

 

[CSM]

but that kind of makes brawls dumb. your most likely gonna hit some random person by accident at get killed with a sword unless you run to a corner and move away when other people get close to watch you fight

Game is realistic in that sense..you punch someone else during a barfight in real life and he might want to kick your ass too. If he's drunk, probably going to use a weapon like a butter knife, or beer mug.
