wiggyrichard Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Thinking about getting this, is it pretty much Final Fantasy meets World Of Warcraft with a bit of Red Dead Redemption on the side? Also, does it matter that ive never played any of the Elder Scrolls games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT I want to play this now and lose my social life for a few weeks!!! >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I want to play this now and lose my social life for 6 months Fixed that for you mate :winkold: Also, does it matter that ive never played any of the Elder Scrolls games? No mate doesnt matter in the slightest. In fact, id say you will probably get more out of it going into it not having played the others. I cant wait now. FOUR DAYS!!!

wiggyrichard Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 So in a nutshell Stu, do you start out with 'nothing' and have to build up your characters powers as you go along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 7, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2011 Its not really like any of those Wiggy to be honest, bar some shades of WOW. I can't really think of any well known games that particularly relate to it much. It's a open world game were you create a character and spec them to follow certain paths, and gradually make them more powerful, like WOW. The open world is more about exploration than it is mucking about, you'll come across dungeons and shrines and ruins to go search and loot, sometimes you'll specifically be sent to them on a quest. You'll stumble across people who will give you tasks and some you'll be sent to to get quests. The fighting isnt turn based like Final Fantasy, its all real time, and the speccing of your character is more freeform than FF too, you can choose the type of character you want be that a robe wearing lizard wizard immune to poisons, a lightly armoured cat man thief with a liking for bows or a hulking great barbarian wearing full armour and a dirty great axe, but also a great persuader... Not everyone takes to these games because they dont guide the player much. Oblivion was renowned for once you'd got outside of the starting area you were given this huge world to explore and the main quest put back burner (if you wanted), it could be overwhelming. If you just played the main quest it was slightly disappointing. If you wandered, found other things to do, it was superb. You don't need to have played the earlier games, by and large the stories in the series stand alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 So in a nutshell Stu, do you start out with 'nothing' and have to build up your characters powers as you go along? Basically. The more you use something the better you become at it. e.g.If you use swords a lot your blade skill will increase. If you use the bow a lot your Marksman skill will increase. Then as your character levels up you can choose a perk relating to one of these skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Did i expect you to? I wasn't showing off I meant it will be a good benchmark for what my system is capable of as Bethesda keep barking on about there so called new "creation engine" which will apparently be on a par with crysis 2 which i very much doubt I've seen plenty of people posting about how they have bought a limited edition Xbox for modern warfare 3 and Gears of war...
