Was this the only good part of Skyrim?

Hearthfire was miles better,

No game has good waifus. Women are visually repugnant.

There is no good part of skyrim.

Dawnguard was shit because:
A. Crossbows did not scale for shit.
B. Armored troll, like all companions, was fucking useless.
C. You had no option to decapitate Serena the moment you found out she was a vampire.
D. The new 'vampire' shit was absolutely awful and did not scale for shit.

Dawnguard was fucking bad.

The entire plot was full-retardo.

Skyrim's writing in general was just shit-poor.

Dawnguard was a really bad expansion. Dragonborn was pretty good though. Herma Mora best Daedra lord.

Dawnguard had compelling dungeon design and Serena was possibly likeable.

You know, reflecting back on Skyrim, so much of it's gameplay issues boiled down to things just having either no scaling, or scaling horribly.

Part of the problem was that it felt like gear progression relied entirely on the upgrade system, meaning smithing was required to not have garbage fucking gear, and enchanting was sort of required because the RNG roll on end-dungeon rewards were typically ass or useless, but the downside was enchanting broke the game.

Skyrim overall was just severely poorly thought out in regards to it's perks system and scaling. They simplified so much shit, and broke so much shit in the process. In MW and OB, you could become overpowered as fuck, but it took work, exploration, and finding the right items. In Skyrim you can just wack away at the smithy all day and break down enchanted garbage all night, and in the end you get obscenely broken fucking gear.

It was an unsatisfying kind of game-breaking.

>>381051409
no, dragonborn was

>>381053890
In Morrowind, you had to go to a very specific place filled with dangerous enemies, defeat or bypass them somehow, then claim the stupid powerful item.

In Skyrim, you pound out 100 iron daggers in Whiterun and are automatically a smithing grandmaster, and give yourself a ridiculously OP weapon at game start that nothing else in the game will ever surpass. Same thing with armor.

When I played Morrowind, I had a strategy I created that would make me STUPID rich and decked in ebony armor and ebony weapons within a few hours. But to do it, I had to fetch mark & recall, shit down a mark on the mudcrab merchant, steal the grand soul gem from balmoras mage guild after luring the guard downstairs and use it to make a constant effect invis ring, shadow a guard at the vaults in vivic into the the vault, and loot all the shit, then port to the mudcrab merchant and sell everything I didn't want.

It was involved and much more complicated than I'm making it out to be. A noob to the game would never figure out how to do that without having played for a while and known the locations of the gem, the key, the vault, the mudcrab merchant, ect.

In Skyrim, I run over to Riverside or Whiterun, buy out the ore from the smith guy, wait 24 hours and do it again, repeat until I have enough ore, then sit on the forge for about 2 minutes shitting out daggers. Then I sharpen my shittastic iron sword and bingo bango its got over 100 damage on it. At level 1. Any retarded idiot can do this, and it shows. You don't have to go anywhere, you don't have to have any game knowledge beyond merchants refresh every 24 hours.

Skyrim is shit. Its only use is its expansive modding scene.

This, so much. Especially the fucking magic. The basic spray spells become completely useless at higher levels, and I wish there was some way to improve artifacts without mods.

A better question would be is there any video game that makes me feel like a legitimate vampire hunter with a terrifying atmosphere?

>>381056854
Castlevania series, depending on your terror tolerance.

>>381051645
>>381051512
Honestly I found I was enjoying questing a lot more when I had my two daughterus to come home to

>>381051409
Touching The Sky is the best TES quest of all time

>>381056945
uh no

>>381056945
I've never found most castlevanias to be scary. I also really don't like the whip.

I will say the N64 game legacy of darkness or whatever where you played as the werewolf had a terrifying part where you were trying to help a kid escape a guy with a chainsaw in a garden maze.

Are there any games in the WoD universe where you don't play as a vampire but instead as a hunter?

No, it was good from start to finish, unless you're a contrarian shit/eater. I fell for the memes and didn't buy the game on launch, only played it recently and found it surprisingly fun despite all the gay "Skyrim is a shit game" memers.

>>381057460
ive played probably about 1000 hours of skyrim but it is by no means a good game.

Oh, but it is, your contrarian opinion is irrelevant. It's also a RPG as well, despite all the retards on this board memeing otherwise.

Pick one, and only one.

P.S. If you've played over 40 - 60 hours of a game, you've lost the right to say anything other than "I enjoyed it", with a bit of constructive criticism.

I didn't much care for Dragonborn.

>>381057987
>>381058004
how is my opinion irrelevant? I have played the game in its entirety and can say wholeheartedly that it is not "good". while it might be fun at times and the mods have added so much to it, the base game is pretty bland and has so many glaring flaws that i really cant understand why you would say it's anywhere close to being "good".

>>Not NTRing the King of Rape
When I give her the dragonborn dick she can taunt Molag about how much better I was than him.

As a proud member of the Dawnguard it is your duty to fuck the evil out of every hot vampire that stands between you and justice.

I ain't no greybeard but I'll sure show these ladies how to shout if you know what I mean.

Talos would be proud.

A bit unrelated, but cannot get Skyrim to run on my computer.

Please, anon. I spent $60 on the game. I want to at least play it

>>381054863
I understand the sentiment but he's strictly talking about vanilla systems

The fact that consolefags can play without shit like frostfall or perk overhauls without killing themselves is incredible

No, Dragonborn was much better. Solstheim was great to revisit. Herma Mora was cool. Dragon riding sucked.

>couldn't side with leader vampire because being a mean vampire is not okay if it makes real changes to the game world, plus how can you be the dragonborn hero of the land if you black out the sun and fully align with the evil vampires
this DLC sums up everything wrong with Skryim
>useless weapons that aren't better than the dragon bone stuff you made at the smith
>no real interactions with anything like killing lady vampire right away or siding with leader vampire, just have to follow the theme park ride's path
>quest line has two sides, both take you down pretty much the exact same path

So you hacked the game for infinite money to buy infinite ore. Why not just hack the game to give yourself 100 smithing?

>>381060931
Can sell daggers for money for ore.

>>381061326
At a severe loss. The ore is like 60gp each and the daggers are 1gp each. You'd be lucky to have a dagger break even at Legendary with 100 Smithing.

>>381061425
Throw an enchantment on them. Badabing badaboom.
Now you're even more OP.

>>381061425
Iron Ore has a value of 2. A dagger has a value of 10.
