I hate to say it, but Skyrim is almost as repackaged as call of duty. It is to me, for all intents and purposes, Oblivion version 2. After playing so many hours of Fallout as well, the game just feels so old and dated to me.
I loved the first Elder Scrolls games (Morrowwind in particular), but felt the later ones were just dumbed down loads. Big arrows pointing to where you need to go, instant fast travelling etc. But my biggest complaint was the whole idea of levelled loot! It completely negated the point of exploring! You know what's in every dungeon, every cave simply by checking your characters level. Level 1 and you find iron/steel weapons etc, level 50 and its exactly the same but ebony or deadric gear. You never found anything unique or special like in Fallout say.
Anyway, can't wait for ME3, loved the first two, I class them as some of my favourite games. Huge sci-fi fan! where Mass Effect shines over others is the storyline, its like starring in your very own movie!
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan
