Skyrim is so very tempting to me because its Bethesda, and they do know how to do the massive world things so well. I even forgive that the ship games with endless bugs and glitches. I love the style and the setting, I just am not into swords as weapons or all the potion and magic stuff that tend to be the mainstay of fantasy games. Arrggh, they need to make a medieval punk game.
That whole port from console to pc makes me rant like a crazy old cat lady. It's not helped by having no love in my heart for consoles, at all.
Aww, I love the magic and swords stuff! Well, to an extent. I like medieval warfare and whatnot... magic is a bonus, when done correctly. As far as the world being massive... oh yes. Especially since this is the same world they've been working on since the early 90s. All the books are readable, with stories that enhance or give glimpses into the ways of life, history, or even mythology of the world. It's pretty ridiculous how fleshed out this world really is. You can go back to old games that mention Skyrim/Cyrodiil(Oblivion)/Morrowind and go, "Hey! I was there!" There are landmarks in Skyrim I remember reading about in history books within the previous two games. I never played Arena or Daggerfall (which were different "kinds" of games).
I like certain things on consoles, but yeah... console gaming is really killing PC gaming and makes me sad. :(
The genre as a whole I really like, but with games, it just never has been a draw for me. I just like sniper rifles too much I suppose :P My nephew keeps at me though, determined that if I give the games a chance, I will forget the Fallouts even exist.
Haha! I mostly fight at range, with a bow... and some of the perks you get for Marksman make your bow like a sniper rifle. I can usually clear a camp before they even see me... if they even get a chance to. ;)
The comments about your nephew are cracking me up, though! I think I'll let him try to wear you down... haha
