okay I said this game is boring in otf, but yet I'm still playing. It is kinda boring, but kinda fun as well. sometimes I just like listening in on conversations npc's have with each other. it's a nice touch. along with routines they have. One of the strong points in this game.
weak points, there are so many. So I'm exploring a cave last night. Sure I kill a few things, not much in the chests except a little gold. I'm only level 4, so I guess good items won't pop up this early. Exploring seems pointless if you can't find any good items. I killed this one guy, I hope he isn't part of a quest (esp fighters or mage guild). That's why I prefer not to explore as I don't want to kill anyone I will have to kill for a quest later on. other weak points are lack of wildife in the wilderness. And just lack of things to kill in the wilderness, I suppose this is realistic in a way. Better than an mmorpg that has a mob every 5 yards. Mobs here are in realistic locations like camps, caves, and ruins.
Combat for me is tough. I don't have a lot of FPS skills. It's tough to aim with bows and magic. I mainly use destruction magic if the target is still and I want to pull them to me (esp if there's a trap between us). Though I suppose I could use destruction at point blank range??? I don't think there are attacks of opportunity etc. Melee isn't too hard, but blocking is annoying and it's hard for me to get the rythym down. So I use a 2 hander. I start off with harder blows (still not sure how to get the power attack), but usually dissolve into fast clicking, esp if it's a tough, furious battle. I have no discipline
. I'm real careful with swinging if there are other npc's around, far too easy to hit them.
Sometimes the game is too open ended, and I don't know what to do. The only real draw for this game right now is progressing through the mages and fighters guild. I'm not sure how far I'll get through the mages guild, I'm a redguard and magic is a weak point for me. One of my magic skills is only 5. And then doing the main quest. Not sure what else to do. Eventually I may try the thieves guild and assassins guild with another char.
voice acting isn't as bad as everyone says it is. But they talk too damn slow! I just put subtitles on and click through it all. And I downloaded a mod to streamline the interface so it doesn't look like it was designed for 3rd graders. But I still can't figure out how to get the map screen to come up with one click if the last screen I was on was inventory, or quests etc. I wish I could hit the M key and map would come up, instead of all these unecessary clicks.
It's pretty choppy outside, but I don't want to lower the graphical settings anymore. I have a Radeon 9600 card, so it's struggling with the game. And I have the 3 main view distances at far. 0 antialiasing though, and low textures (which sucks).

it' was only like $1.70, but it's the point of it. If I actually do find I don't grow bored of this game in a couple days I may get game of the year addition, but that still doesn't include the small downloads.
She didn't do anything in the main quest line at all, and when I asked her how the main quest was going she looked at me funny and asked what quest that was ...
