I understand that I can't speak with absolutes about a product that hasn't hit store shelves, but at least based on what I've seen and heard, I feel confident enough to stick my neck out and risk being wronged massively (because there is nothing I like more then being positively surprised). And that being the case, I can understand why they're trying so hard to go for the frontloaded strategy with Skyrim. And my logic is that if you can't respect the material of your product then your product probably doesn't deserve much respect. And I honestly couldn't keep up that illusion - in my own eyes at least - if I were to say say anything other then negative things about how Bethesda has handled the PR of Skyrim.
I would like to think of myself as one of the most objective and neutral gamers on GAF. The concept was infinitely interesting to me but I was too much of a console graphics whore and was too conditioned to like instantly accessible gameplay for it to work out for me.Īll things said, neither Morrowind nor Oblivion worked out for me (for either timing or design reasons) although I will gladly admit I do have very fond memories of Oblivion before I lost interest. So when I played Morrowind on Xbox in mid 2000's I was instantly appalled by the graphics, the fog and the combat. And before then I never had a gaming grade PC. I only joined the high end PC gaming in 2006. I think it's absolutely silly for some people to completely dismiss people like me who have objectively good reasons for disliking instantly accessible double click travel. Back then I felt good knowing that I wasn't the only one who disliked that mechanic. Until then I thought that I was the only one taking so much 'offence' to it. It was only 1 year or so after I stopped playing Oblivion that I first came across other people who deplored that system of travel. I even remember how accidental my discovery of it was and how disappointed I felt. I was having such a blast up to the point when I discovered fast travel exists.
I'm going to go on a bit of a tangent so please note that nothing below relates directly to mods as I have very little experience with them.įast travel in Oblivion was a total show stopper for me.
