Not liking the game so much, its just there isnt anything else to do (Although i do play a lot of the binding of isaac)
- the map is the size of a postage stamp.
- You got guys talking about going to the big city. Closest city was what 4 min on foot. for the love of god lazy bastard, walk
- you can only have 1 guy following you, and you cant decide what he/she should equip.
- as for exploring. there is no challenge, you practically trip over the different sites. its harder to walk from a to b without actually going to that new site
- the whole console interface sucks monkehballs
- leveling OMG im not 10 (mentally i am 11 and 11 does not equal 10)
- WHERE IS MY FUCKING CART
- all shops i run into have not enough gold for the crap i want to sell them
- where are all my exciting talking opportunities
- the average peasant there bitches more than i do

it does look ok though

-Map small? really i think its HUGE, i mean it feels epic.
- country bumpkins always think anything is big
-dont play easy mode with a follower ;)
- turn off compass
- indeed it does lets hope for a PC friendly one, either official or modded will do thanks
-what? what? (do you mean no stats? thats my biggest gripe)
- Wheelwrights still working on it, until then suck it up and stop being a loot whore, or pick stamina at level up that increases your carry weight, or buy a house to store your crap in between dungeons.
- its called speech, as that improves so do shops cash and you will be able to invest in them to give them more cash.
- mostly in taverns or guild buildings, sometimes random scrubs want you to do shit, try using shouts in town thats fun.
- they are inthe middle of a civil war and Dragons are being reborn all around, wouldnt you bitch?

Yeah its OK looking blame the 5 year old console and not your newer PC GFX card. ( buit you have used the ini tweaks posted above to make it look better havent you?)

- try eldarscrolls: arena or daggerfall, this is small
- they live next to it. they are lazy
- followers easy READ AND WEEP(from RPS)

Ahhhh, Lydia. She was the most glooooorious creature under the suns. Marie, Ajira, Akorithi. Rolled into one.

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia
Now have you met Lydia?
Lydia the uuuuuuuseless companion

She has eyes that folks adore so
And a breastplate even more so

Lydia, oh Lydia, as much use as chlamydia
Oh Lydia the queen of to-dos
In a doorway she’ll stand, if given the chance
Blocking access to chests is her foremost romance
Her ultimate goal is to block your advance
You can’t go anywhere with Lydia

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

When her bow is unfurled, she’ll fire arrows at the world
But targets need not bother her
She’ll miss rats in Ivarstead, spiders, the undead
And not trouble the wolves of High Hrothgar

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say have you met Lydia?
Oh Lydia the uuuuuuuseless companion
When you go into a basement
At the entrance she’ll make her encampment

Lydia, oh Lydia, get lost in Kolskeggr
Oh Lydia the queen of to-dos
To both combat and tact you only bring shame
With every yawn you emit, my ire I proclaim
Yet whenever you die I load my savegame
You can’t go anywhere with Lydia

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
- the next site is right there, why would i use compass anyways (to walk the mediocre longer distances)
- tightass console newbs
- damn right i mean no stats, im older than 10
- lootwhore is my life how do you want me to move all my crap to my house than! (also why dont i get a discount to my house with speachcraft?)
- i just sell to shops, if i want something i'll steal it, but cant steal a house now can you!
- didnt try shouts in towns, yet (will do that when i go playing after typing this post), but still they dont want you to go to a random generated dungeon, its all scripted and predictable
- well they could do something else than bitch. that would help a bit at least. And you shouldn't bitch if you build your house next to a burial mount and you know the dead can walk that the burial mount 10 meters from your house is haunted, you just shouldn't bitch. the mount was there first, if anyone should bitch, its the burial mount
- that was actually my compliment, it looks ok. didnt bother with tweaking it

Lol so true Jon.

Yes Beth however Daggerfall especially had lots and lots of randomly generated nothing. Size just for the sake of it isnt any better.

Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

but is was more like really exploring, there was something there, but you had to go out and look

here your next encounter can be spotted from whatever dungeon you just left

also that horse sucks
lost it once and had to travel all the way back to the guy selling it to pick it up again

Yeah my FOV changes every time I load my save, sometimes its at 95 where I have it set (1920x1080 sort of good for it), others its at the default.  :S

Tip: Disable the gamepad option in the ingame settings (there isnt an ini line for it). Ups frames, lessens what mouse lag there is (even after turning off mouse acceleration) and generally makes stuff butter.

They are worth the hard fight for the masks they have, got 3 or so now myself.

Just dont awaken them with a  dragon about, THAT IS HARD.

Sounds like i may have done the same on that one ;) Krosis?

Aye thats the one, but managed to not wake him before beating the dragon. He came at me as I was going for the dragon text afterwards.
