You have no idea how bad it gets.... I wish I knew how to quit you...

[kspr]

the save file is still growing uncontrollably. i managed to get through the quest without it freezing, but my save is over 9000! (kb). i was really going for a maxed out perk tree, but i probably won't make it now

and without spoiling anything, are lycan or vampire lord perks worth it?

[Vicious Parker]

Uh... i don't know if this will work, or if it's related to a problem you're having, but I used to have an issue with slow menus that was caused by save file bloat. The solution I had to use, if I remember correctly, was to go in to an interior cell, and wait... a lot of waiting. like an in game week worth of waiting. That let the game remove all of the corpses and items you've left all about the word, resets spawns and merchants, and a few other things.

Again, I don't know if its related to the problem you're having, but it couldn't hurt.


I also don't know about those perks since I have never used them.

i spent a lot of time on Solsteim after killing the cultists in Whiterun that activate the questline, when i came back, they were still dead there.

I liked the DragonBorn DLC. However I felt it was a little too short-- story wise I mean. I feel it would have been better if there were some hidden hints, or more Easter Eggs in places less obvious.

I hate Giant Save Files too. Long ass load times and lag always annoys me.


Anyways my Skyrim CD is broken now. Feelsbadman. I play it on the Xbox (inb4 pleb) and my dad went crazy and literally threw the Xbox with the game inside it. Surprisingly the Xbox is OK, but the game wasn't.

I miss Oblivion though. Spellcasting just lost it's... feeling when Skyrim came along.

[Xteven Xavier]

well I have to disagree on the spell casting front, I think it got way better and more advanced in Skyrim.

[Lackadaisy]

I get your point.


BUT COME ON.


It was oversimplified. All you had for destruction was Fire, Lightning, and Ice. Then you had Calm, Frenzy, Fear, Light, Muffle... and then some Armor spells and Conjuration. COME ON. Where's my leech health? (Vampires don't count btw) Where's all the other effects and the fortify skill spells? Where's spellmaking? (Dear fuck I missed that one the most) I mean, I already missed some of the effects from Morrowind when I played Oblivion NOW THIS!? It, for me took a lot of the fun out of spellcasting. I could no longer make spells where I could jump onto rooftops. It's... just... ;n;.


I also miss Acrobatics.


But Skyrim is a good game, don't get me wrong. It's just I wished they hadn't babbied it so much at times.

A lot of the feels from Elder Scrolls went away after Morrowind.

I miss Morrowind.

I love Skyrim...but I wish there was more Morrowind.

[Vicious Parker]

I would love to use my scroll of icarian flight to jump to the top of high hrothgar. Yes...

[Donkeymog]

[Lackadaisy]

Ah, I remember my first use of the scroll.



I jumped and then died. But it was so awesome to use them then use levitate when you were close to dying.


Ahh... those were the good times.

I really should pirate it (Like I should with R:TW) but I never do. ;n;

Well you don't even really need to do that. It's always like a buck on Steam.


But I just remembered you're like 13 so that might be a problem.

[Donkeymog]

I endorse these pirating endeavours.

[Monkeydog]

You know, that's always what I wish Elder Scrolls games had more of...pirates. Basically more nautical exploration. Anywhere that is water is automatically labeled as boring in the back of my mind in games like these.

[Donkeymog]

Redguard should be more piratey.

While I agree, I would only say so if you are in fact on boats and in the process of swashbuckling. Water exploration suuuuuuuucks in pretty much every game, TES games included. How I miss my Walk on Water spells.

The only two games off of the top of my mind that really focus around water exploration are:

Windwaker
Pirates!

And neither of those games suck at water exploration. So it really shouldn't be hard for Bethesda to get it right.

[Donkeymog]

Levitation, water walking and attribute boosting spells need to come back. I miss being able to cast a spell that increased my jump stat.
