Is there a bigger newfag detector than saying that Skyrim is shit?
Like don't get me wrong it's not perfect by any means but Skyrim at worst is at least a good game worth sinking 10 or 20 hours into.

I mean really I've never seen a game like Skyrim (that isn't part of the TES franchise) that gives you:
>huge open world which lots of different NPCs
>a leveling system that makes you get better as long as you work on your skills
>exploration of a huge fantasy world
>a large selection of quests
>having the freedom to ignore the MQ from the very start of the game
>comfy feeling of trudging through the woods
>a combat system that's at least okay for what it is
>the ability to customize your experience with mods and other user created content

I instantly disregard the opinions of anyone saying that Skyrim is the worst game ever or even shit because it pretty much shows that they're newfags who either didn't play enough games to appreciate Skyrim or who bought the /v/ hates Skyrim meme.

You don't do jackshit in 10-20 hours, if you are going to play any TES game you need at least 80 hours in it.

Fuck off already. Skyrim is already becoming boring even with the normies who are sick of hearing about it. In about another year or so, it's probably going to start popping up all over in "Most Overrated Games" lists.

If anything Skyrim improved it from oblivion when most of the stats didn't mean shit and there so many useless skills.
Skyrim also improved from oblivion retarded level up system and fixed it's scaling.

Skyrim had no memorable quests like Oblivion or Morrowind all of skyrims quest end in a draugr cave

No skyrim had shit graphics compared to witcher 2 deus ex and bf3 which all came out same year as skyrim, skyrim looks like a game from 2001

Because it's "fun" does not mean it's a good game, and mods don't mean the turd bethesda put out is anything is a turd.
Also with games of this nature you're supposed to put at least 100 hours into it, skyrim manages to get boring long before you've come close to that point.

Play better games and git gud you fucking casual.

Imagine if Bethesda actually gave a shit and had created unique castle designs for every major location.

Instead we got Skyrim's """capital""" having like, nine enter-able shacks with a palisade around them. Solitude is basically the only recognizable palace, while all fortresses use the same assets and basically have the same lay-out.

RPGs have leveling systems, this isn't TES exclusive. If you are talking about how swinging a sword specifically upgrades sword swinging, that has also been done elsewhere, although is less common because traditional leveling systems are usually better.

Which? I have yet to come across a single combat system I've enjoyed. No game has the proper balance of control and feeling. It needs to be extremely responsive and accurate and it needs to feel powerful relative to the weapon you're wielding.

For reference, I don't like Skyrim's, Dark Soul's, or Witcher 2/3's combat at all.

Morrowind had 140ish enemies. Not including any enemies with unique names or the various human enemies in the game (bandits and so on).
Skyrim, including all DLC has 170. This includes all enemies with unique names and all the various human enemies.

I don't think anyone HATES Skyrim, the game is designed to be digestible by anyone and /v/ has a soft spot for anything where you swing a sword around. I think most people like it in fact.

But it's the epitome of an overrated, buggy normie open-world game with shallow braindead gameplay, that many would argue is strictly worse than it's predecessors. When someone says "Skyrim is my favorite game!", you can immediately dismiss their taste in videogames because they likely haven't even played Oblivion or Morrowind, and their "favorite game" is a buggy mess with piss-poor combat.

Not a fan of requiem. For combat I much prefer the a combination of:

Ultimate Combat
SkyTweak
TK Dodge
TK Hitstop
Revenge of the Enemies
Mortal Enemies
Combat Evolved

Drop in Ordinator for a perk overhaul, and install Disparity to get classes, and you've done most of what Requiem does, but much better imo.

You also probably want Morrowloot Ultimate to de-level a lot of the items, and Skyrim Unleveled is okay if you want to de-level enemies. Then maybe throw in a few magic mods, Lost Grimoire and/or Apocalypse. Thunderchild if you like using shouts a lot.

Sounds like it's more work, and I guess it is, but you get much more control over your gameplay experience. Skyrim's mechanics and combat are never going to be amazing, but they can at least be pretty fun.

>>382036735
It's a must-have, in my opinion. And hey, no problem, it's not like I have anything better to do.

The problem with Skyrim is it's an ok foundation (excluding the shit combat) that Bethesda never used very well. You've got to mod the fuck out of it to get the most out of it, but that has problems of it's own. Mainly it crashes frequently and the game is so old now that technical limitations are becoming a huge problem (and don't give me shit about the special edition, it has almost no mod support and never will).

Provided you have enough VRAM, you configure ENB, SKSE, and Crash Fixes properly, and you don't install ridiculously poorly-made mods by idiots, you should rarely ever crash.

It's not a bad game. It's pretty decent.
But it's way overhyped.
It's also buggy as fuck and has an army of apologists defending it from valid criticism.

I really like TES.
It seems like your standard Tolkien-esque Fantasy, but it goes much deeper than that
(God Machine, CHIM,etc.)

What angers me most is all the wasted potential, which is a feeling almost all Bethesda Softworks games give me.

They have Millions of Dollars to their disposal, but still make buggy messes.
They have hundreds of people, yet still fail to create quest that are as in depth as a small developer like Obsidian can create.
They have years of time, yet still their worlds are empty and feel lifeless.

Witcher 3 showed how to make lively cities, and realistic and beautiful countryside.
Fallout New Vegas, showed how to make interesting Factions, and intricate Quest lines.
Dark Messiah, showed us how to make a fun combat system.

For all their years of experience they have fuck all to show for it.
Except for mediocre games, and PAID MOD GUISE.

Seems like all the old school devs like Beth and BioWare shit the bed.
I really hope CD Project gets even more successful to force those hacks to improve.

I have more than enough RAM. The problem is the game was designed for 4GB of RAM and cannot utilise more than this ever.

And don't bullshit me. Modding Skyrim just causes crashes, and there are tools out there literally designed just to minimise how often the game crashes because of mods.

That's not true~

Configure ENB and Crash Fixes correctly.

I spend hundreds of hours autistically modding my game on a regular basis.

>and there are tools out there literally designed just to minimise how often the game crashes because of mods.
And they work extremely well if you use the properly.

Skyrim has a hard limit of being able to use 3.1GM of RAM. You literally cannot do anything about this, it's just how the game was made.

I dunno.

You have to meet the game more than halfway to have fun with it.

Like I had some fun with it but only after I heavily modded it and limited myself on top of that in the game.

I liked it then and I would defend that experience but the work it takes to get an enjoyable game out of this is inexcusable so even as someone who likes Skyrim I have to admit that just playing it out of the box is shit.
>>
>>382038851
So if they added a kick feature it would fix everything for you?
>>
>>382038626

Combat is shallow and there is just very little to it. You hit shit as fast as you can with no real thought or strategy put into it.
To add to that, magic is a complete joke and only a few utility spells are even worth using, while stealth is hilariously broken.

ESO is shit, but they got the right idea by giving all skills in the game a selection of usable abilities.

The only people that could think skyrim is good are those that have maybe played less than 3 RPGs before it. God, I remember when normalfags were shitting on modern warfare 3 and saying how skyrim was for "real gamers" when even MW3 was a better designed game than the shithole that was skyrim.
>>
>>382039109

Don't tell me it wasn't fun to launch people with the shout. Of course that wouldn't fix everything, but at least it would make it more physical.
>>
>>382039231
So do you think a change of how you need to fight eneimes would be better and its mostly a "everything can be killed the same way" issue or that the skills given need to be revamped also how would you go about it without losing the real world likeness

realizing skyrim is shit is every "gamers" rite of passage to patricianhood (unironically)

If you just throw mods into Skyrim, then yeah you might run into the memory limit, and it's going to be a problem because Skyrim normally mirrors textures in system memory, which is why modded games tend to crash so easily.

However, ENB wraps the game executable and separates texture allocation into its own 64-bit process. This means that the 3.1GiB for the actual Skyrim process is more than enough for whatever the game needs to do. With enough VRAM on your card (and using sensibly-sized textures if you don't have a lot of VRAM), you won't crash from running into the memory limit.

Though, Skyrim also has issues with memory allocation, not just addressing. Bethesda uses their own god-awful memory allocation code for some reason, and it has a nasty tendency of shitting the bed. Fortunately, Crash Fixes has a setting that allows you to bypass Bethesda's memory allocation code and use malloc() instead, which is orders of magnitude more stable.

>>382038926
>no SKSE
>ENB sucks
>>
>>382039654

>real world likeness

Nothing about Skyrims combat is real world or even remotely realistic.

Having a variety of abilities for each weapon type would be a start however. Magic also needs to be completely overhauled and stealth needs to stop being the strongest combat skill in the game.
>>
>>382039608
Im just trying to gauge what the issue is other than people screaming out "its shit" a kick would be great but the eneimes seem to be a bigger issue to me, if you were given the same skills and abilites but the npcs wernt all "hit as fast as you can to kill" and maybe get rid of the damage sponginess to it, it would make it more interesting
>>
>people unironically think Oblivion is better than Skyrim
This is why I can't take this board seriously.
>>
>>382039914
What would you change and add?
>>
Oblivion was way better
>>
>>382040309

I just said.

I want weapons to be different, not just hit shit until it dies. I want to be hacking off limbs with an axe, caving in skulls with a mace, slashing throats with daggers and if I'm dual wielding I want to be doing spinning flippy shit.

Magic needs to be more than a few buffs and 3 elements of damage in either a cone shape or projectile.
It's weird how dragon shouts could send enemies flying, disarm them, slow down time, make me dash forwards at super speed but magic has almost no variety at all.

As for stealth, it needs to stop being a 999x damage multiplier to damage, especially when enemies are basically fucking blind.

If we just hate it hard enough we will win.

The results have been the same on both fronts the object of their respective hate have beat the fuck out them.
