User blog comment:Jimeee/Bethesda Games Studios: "Moving to our next adventure"/@comment-68.9.69.209-20130525000800

Skyrim is a great game, there is no doubt on that. I truly have played this game for hours on end, completing the game (dawnguard, hearthfire, and dragonborn included) multiple times, on multiple difficulties. Taking my time remaking the characters that I made in previous elder scrolls games (yes all of them) giving them a new story and look I feel they deserved with the skyrim engine. Oh, and lets not forget the atmosphere that is provided, absolutely amazing.

But.... Here are some complaints of mine and what I hope to not see in the next game.

where I was able to remake characters in, lets say, Morrowind. Over time and time again giving birth to a new destiny and experiencing a whole new play of adventure, I felt that I was never really able to obtain that feeling in skyrim, where I had a set destination at all times, with lairs, forts and locations that never seemed to be any different or bring any new excitement of adventure to the table.

The unfinished story, shortcomings of quests, and "dumbed down gameplay"  is troublesome. I hate that the game is so limited compared to its previous titles. The quests are short and never feel fulfilling, the misc missions are so repetitive and boring that I never seem to even bother with them anymore after any completion with a faction, not to mention theres still nonkillables left after game completion. I feel like this game was so dumbed down just for sales reasons, that this game and series has become so mainstream and graphics/atmosphere oriented that it has lost it's vision on what makes a rpg.

I kinda hope they keep the story going in another game as I feel that the developers only looked at the big picture and let the little details slide by on what makes an excellent rpg. But looking at the history of elder scrolls games, they're usually split apart by a good hundred+ years.

I hope, if ever a new game is to come out, that the complexity of the older elder scrolls are re-added so that we have to actually use our brains to play the game and use our own imagination, instead of all that being done for us from the get go.
