Yup. It's still pretty buggy, stumbled across 2 myself. They got a bigger patch on the way soon.

There was one dungeon where a gate was closed and wouldn't open after you cleared the boss/treasure, locking you in. They fixed that one up, though. Currently, I can't exchange quest items or get rewards for quests, and they haven't patched it yet. I'm shit out of luck till the new patch comes out

the inevitable, biting question is: Empire or Stormcloaks?

i think ive spent most of my time cooking banging stews.

it doesnt level up anything but all of skyrim knows about my stews.

My characters not particularly stream lined, was gonna just do a straight sword and shield like in oblivion but found magic too fun so now im a nord with a sword in one hand and a fireball in the other. Smithing and enchanting is actually interesting too so im looking forward to making a mackin sword.

Not as good as I'd hoped but still worth a mong.

They reeeeeally need to come up with some more interesting concepts for quests though.
After so many years of GTA I'm getting tired of:
-Go to point A
-Kill B
-Grab C

The combat is a fucking disgrace. I'm sure even Morrowind was better than this. Can't use any weapons on a horse? What's the point of a horse then?!

Only played a few hours so far, not quite getting into it yet. Combat seems a bit iffy, having never played any of the Elder Scroll games. I think I spent most of my time in the intro sequence trying to attack my guide as I couldn't work out who was who.

Plus I found the story in the intro sequence rather flawed.

Will probably play it through though. Although tempted to play Morrowind and Oblivion on the side as well just for the backstory.

Morrowind/oblivion take place long before skyrim. They don't really relate story wise. The in-game books provide the background plot, and more.

played it for a few hours... didn't like it. then again, i didn't really like oblivion, tho i like skyrim more. just something about them... too clunky, and the combat just isn't very exciting. oh man... i'm being attacked by a random wild dog again. boof.

game is exactly what I expected no more no less.

Great graphics, great physics, great effects.

Decent writing, decent enviroments, decent sound

Clunky combat, insanely short main storyline, and my big gripe...........

the majority of the games content is OPTIONAL.... and the majority of said side quests are redundant remasks... ie go get this or kill this in


If you were a big fan of the previous games then this game is right up your alley.

If, like me, you weren't a huge fan and were hoping this game would turn out to be a game changer for you, it sadly is not.


back to modern warfare 3
