Cantousent Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, speaking as someone who has adavanced to the towering level of level 10 just now, I can say that it's interesting. I find that I really hate interacting with the npcs for more than a quid pro quo interaction, but the game is fun nonetheless. I much prefer the FO games, and not just for the story. I like the fact that I feel more tied into the overarching goal even if I spend the vast majority of my time exploring the sandbox. I also like the SPECIAL system better. I understand the idea that we should advance our skills by actual use, but the SPECIAL system is just... cleaner? Both are fun, but I prefer the FO method. Overall, it's a fun game for exploration and dungeon spelunking, but there's not a lot behind it in terms of what we're doing and why we're there. I just don't care.

WDeranged Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'm level 34, 115 hours in and pushing on with the MQ, I just got to Blackreach which looks to be impressive, finding Sindarion's skeleton made me chuckle, see where your nirnroot obsession got you old man! I didn't delve much deeper as I was loaded down with loot, it was my first time in a Dwemer ruin too, I really like what the designers have done, afterwards I spent a bit of time doing random stuff, found a note at a campsite complaining of lost caravans, followed the trail back to a cave full of Falmer, who I exterminated like rats. Still enjoying myself, my character isn't levelled particularly effectively, I'm just bumbling around taking it as it comes but I aim to get most of the main quest lines completed by level 50 and put the game to bed for a few months.

HoonDing Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I finally got sick of the ridiculously slow flame/frost/storm thrall, but then I remembered the Dead Thrall spell. It didn't work on Astrid (unfortunately) since she was too high level, but now I have Orchendor the teleporting mage as thrall. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

MrBrown Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've been using a Storm Atronach for most of the game, and the only annoying part is when it runs away to shoot lightning from a distance, hence making all the enemies group up on me. I've almost maxed out Destruction, so I started playing support-mage. I just cast buffs, heals (for Lydia, of course) and summons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 (edited) So, who stopped playing already? :> I am tempting to uninstall the game to free up some space on my HDD. Since I took over my first town and joined the Stormdudes (and realized you can't resign from them), I totally lost the mood to play any further.

Orchomene Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've stopped. I may be interested in another playthrough, but not before some weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I stopped, not because I'm not enjoying it, but because I have other games to play. I started up Assassin's Creed: Revelations. And I've got Peace Walker to go through as well. I still want to get all the shouts, finish Dark Brotherhood, get the Windhelm house, do the civil war, and play a dead is dead Argonian Paladin named Does-The-Impossible. Row row, fight the powah!
