Out of Pod Experience

Looks like hardly a day goes by without someone mentioning Skyrim in the EVE Online forums, according to forum search. Oh Skyrim this and Skyrim that oh la-de-da. And what's it been, now, two and a half years since Skyrim was released back in 2011?

Over 20 million units sold. Nearly $1.5B in sales revenue. Development time: 3.5yrs costing $85million including marketing. Game developers employed: 90. Voice actors: 83. Yeah... if that's all really true uh-huh.

So what makes Skyrim so damn good that you must incessantly talk talk talk talk talk about Skyrim somewhere on the EVE Forums nearly every.. freakin.. day?!?!?! Ewwwwww! Skyrim this and Skyrim that talk talk talk TALK TALK... ack!



This is now the what, how, where, why, anything Skyrim thread.

Gratz! you are the first person to bring up that game in four months!
Alas, this that is not.

So I gotz all the whole everything list of all Skyrim and what nots. But of course can you say Mods? so guess not all, but what there is that is, yes, good stuff. But I think that of it all, what stands out for me anyway, certainly the Black Hand - the Assassins guild. Little less clever than Oblivy, but pretty nice story progression all the same, and still with some little twists and turns, all bloody of course and stuck in deep. And yes, standing over the Emperors fresh corpse (see OP image) really gives a wonderful feeling of satisfaction that I changed the game world with nothing but a little poisoned dagger and a few arrows. Fulfilling, indeed.

But certainly, this soup is to die for. Now what were those ingredients again?
Oh, of course
A sweetroll (stolen no doubt)
Vampire Dust
Giant's toe
And one septim
Oh yeah, and that last secret ingredient
The wonders of modern cuisine!
But who would have thunk what came next, no?

But when all is said and done, the speaker must finish that next contract, of many to come, nothing as simplistically excellent as a well aimed bow shot at far-range. Poetry in motion.

And then off to find the next target.

Why do you Skyrim?

Forget Fallout, play Watelands 2 instead.

Because it's a freeform open world
Because it uses skill based advancement without levels
Because it's easily modable


The first two reasons remind me of another game .. you might have heard about it.
It's called eve online.

ENB FOREVER!


....I just need a powerful computer to run the damn thing with full settings.

yeah, some guy made these amazing screenshots that pretty much looked photoreallistic once with skyrim.


it, however, needed over 100 mods, and his top-of-the-line i7 was running the game at about.... 10fps or so. in 1900x1080 or smth.

I also have a huge gripe with skyrim that can be sumrized with this picture.

Ok, go from point A to point B. Issue: there's 19746593265904283165091328560986450918 dungeons with phat loots between those two points, and you can't carry them all.

I so hope they are working on a Fallout 4!

But damn Skyrim was awesome, I used to live in a castle and just ride around on my horse and do whatever, just basically live another life in that ******* game, had a dark elf lover who followed me everywhere, sometimes it rains, there's dragons, really Skyrim after Oblivion was like the perfect game!

^ I don't get it, they look like Diablo II pretty much and it doesn't seem like they're even doing multiplayer?

Then again I don't really play that "type" of game very much

Pfft weapons.

Unarmed FTW


Oh wait.... This is the Skyrim thread.

You mean, like they did with Oblivion?
