| twesterm said: I'm cautious about Bethesda games now. Oblivion looked beautiful and it was decently fun...for a while. It gave you too much freedom and I eventually got so powerful that the game was a joke. When I decided I should do the story, I didn't even remember what it was since the only story mission I had done was escape the prison. At that point, I just didn't care and have any motivation so I stopped. I tried it a few more times but it was always pretty much a variation of that story. With Fallout 3, it was largely the same but I mainly did the main story and eventually got bored of the game. I got so powerful enemies were largely a joke and the story eventually got to a point where it really died down and let me do my own thing for a while and I just lost interest. See, the problem with 20 plus hour epic games is you have to have the gameplay to support a game that long and a story I care about to keep me going. Bethesda games this gen at least mechanics are pretty muh sub-par so it's hard to keep those interesting. They're easy to break and even when you don't game the game, they're still hard to stay interesting to me. That's why most single player shooters aren't longer than 10 hours. And then there's the story. I'm sure Oblivion had an interesting story and Fallout 3 was interesting, it's just they give you too much freedom and you eventually forget about the story and stop caring. At that point, there's really no reason to keep playing the game. I'll keep an eye on Skyrim, but it's not a definite buy at all for me yet. |
Actually, not really. 
The main quest for both were passable, average at best.
New vegas was better, but there were too many bugs that pissed me off.
Now, if we could get Bioware doing the story, it would be epic.
