My son got Skyrim for his birthday a few weeks ago, and I've been sort of watching him play a bit of it. I've heard about it and know something about it from just being around the Internet. I understand it's an open world game with dragons and such. But watching it, I'm not seeing the big excitement.
First off, it's ugly. Everything is shades of gray. Other than firey dragon breath, I haven't seen any color in this game. I'm not expecting WoW colors, but all and only gray?
I've seen him switch between his weapons. He's carrying about 6 big weapons. I thought games had gone beyond that, and most games used a more "realistic" load. I guess not?
He has 3300 gold, but hasn't bought a horse because it's expensive. But he didn't say how expensive. Does this game have D&D levels of inflation with gold?
I've seen him fighting giant spiders and some bandits. Otherwise he's just been walking and trying to find paths from one place to another. He's run from a couple of dragons, but not fought any. Granted, he's only level 7, so far, (though he has at least two characters he's splitting his time with).
So what's the big draw for this game. What's made it the sensation all the Internet buzz has made it seem like? It just seems kinda boring and bland. I *must* be missing something.
