[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 5775378, member: 184"] What? I didn't expect a lot from this game, personally. I thought it'd be good, but I thought Portal 2 and Arkham City would be better games this year. Then I turned it on and played it almost non-stop for two days, something I haven't done with a video game for decades. I suppose I did that because I was a hype-machine zombie, a prescient one, too, as I hadn't read anything on it yet...it's okay to not like a game that is universally liked, but you don't have to make up stuff about how everyone else is crazy or dumb to justify it. :lol: Okay, after that, the above makes more sense now. :) Tough, but not impossible. Reminds me of Mass Effect 1, with enough determination, you really can go anywhere. I'll take your word for it, haven't played those. Okay, maybe I shouldn't be taking your word for anything after all. You don't like the game, so I assume you haven't played it too much? Because this is pretty much all false. Yes, there roads. Of course there are roads, it's civilised. It would be weird if there weren't any. But you can go off-road. In fact, I ignored them a lot, myself. But when I did follow them, it was clear that, just by following roads, I could go to any location I wanted to (a couple notable exceptions, but it sure isn't prevalent). Sounds like you'd only be happy with a featureless plain that let you literally walk anywhere. There'd be no where to go, but heck, you'd get there. ;) Ah, so it's not turn-based, I see. Yeah, that I can see that being annoying if that's what you prefer. It does let you pause to change weapons/spells, drink potions, use scrolls, etc, but it doesn't let you "target", so that is something to get used to. Elder Scrolls has always been a real time combat game, so it's tough to expect to not be that in Skyrim. [/QUOTE]
