Hope they get magic right this time. So disappointing when I can tool around with enchantment/alchemy to enhance blacksmithing and get my weapons to do sick damage even against the ever-scaling enemies, but there was no way to raise magic damage past what was available in the perks.
You had to use enchantment as a mage to make it where your gear allowed you to infinitely cast spells just to have a chance, and even then with the "BLAAARRGH ZERG ZERG ZERG!!!!" style of enemy AI, you could still wind up getting your face raped because you couldn't kill those ****ing Draugr Death Overlords before they ran up to you and sliced you into quivering bloody sushi.
Oh, and bring back the spell creator from Oblivion.
It wasn't all bad though, I did something similar to this with my mage, and basically turned him into the ultimate assassin. Quiet Casting combined with Assassin's Blade, and enchanted gear that allowed for infinite casts was really damn fun.
So, I'll be the first to admit that I was never really into games like Elder Scrolls/Skyrim etc.
the genre just never interested me.
Well, until recently. I picked up Witcher 3 and love it.
Anywho, I was out the other day amd stopped by my local Target. They had the super awesome special edition of Skyrim for PS3 on close out. Bought it for 8 bucks and figured WTF? Might be fun.
Christ, I've put in about 3 hrs and can't put it down. Why didn't anyone tell me????
Even though it's dated, it's really a beautiful game. The fucking music is some of the best I've ever heard. This took a lot of effort from the Devs. [Reply]

I was the same way until i discovered Skyrim.. Maybe I'm the only one, but I just can't get into Elder Scrolls Online though [Reply]
Xbox Live had Skyrim for like $7.99 or something ridiculous about a year ago so I decided to hit it up. I think I put in like 80 hours on that game with one character and still only reached level 50-something.

Before we get into any details, this comes from an insider and should be taken with a pinch of salt until we hear something more substantial from Bethesda.
Let’s get into the details, which have been reported by eXtas1s on YouTube.
Heading up the leak is the potential setting for The Elder Scrolls VI, which is said to be Hammerfell, possibly confirming something that many fans had already figured out.
The leaker goes on to say that naval battles will be a huge feature of the game, which will be supported by shipbuilding.
This would be a massive step forward in world exploration and personalisation for players who can hopefully construct a ship and sail the seas.
Shipbuilding is, apparently, inspired by spaceship construction from Starfield, which makes a lot of sense.
There will also be underwater exploration with archipelagos to investigate on your travels.
Those are the big details, as everything else feels rather generic to report - combat is being significantly improved, and the character progression has been overhauled.
Both things you would expect from a sequel to a game over a decade old.

It'll be like every other Bethesda game - buggy and annoying as fuck at launch and for the first six months, then they'll work out most of the bugs and it will be fine, and then in another six months the modders will start adding awesome extra content that really makes it take off. My wife/follower will immediately wonder what's in the cave we just spent half an hour exploring the second we leave it. The main quest will be a boat anchor, and the faction quests will rock.
People will piss and moan about load screens and the same old interface and scream about Todd being the devil, while old farts like me will cherish the familiarity of it all.

Same as it ever was.
Hopefully sometime this year.
For sure, I still remember Daggerfall back in the 90's, what a total buggy mess that was. I bought a house then got stuck on the staircase in it and had to start my save over. Also remember a year after it's release a patch for the game that fixed a ton of the issues killed everyones save game. Way better now than it ever was but people remember the glory days differently.

Daggerfall was before my time - the first Bethesda game I played was Morrowind. I was late to that one as well, since I don't really remember any issues with it, but I didn't really care for it that much and never finished it. But after that, starting with Oblivion, I played and enjoyed them all, particularly Skyrim. Hell, I started another round of Starfield after that abortion of a Super Bowl. Needed something to take my mind off that shit. [Reply]
