Looks like the werewolf's bloodlust has been changed from a severe health penalty to how long you can stay wolfy. I'm not sure what to think of this.

Edit: You know, I'd like to try one of these CoD-type games at some point, but if everyone's going to drop it a year later (compare MW3 vs MW2 players above) for the next version it seems a bit pointless =/

The CoD games are good and fun but every single release is just the same thing with minor changes and gets a tad boring. Any who, werewolves are AMAZING in Skyrim! :grin:

Get CoD4. Pretty cheap at this point, and last time I checked there are still a *lot* of servers up. It's a pretty time-tested game.

It pretty much is.
Want weapons? Give_item
Godmode? tgm
Noclip? I forgot but it's there
And you don't need to do anything in specific, it's entirely freeform, and nonlinear, hence SANDBOX.

Is it still a sandbox game on the consoles where you can't use the command line?
Skyrim wasn't designed to be a sandbox game, it's designed to be an open world game. Sometimes those terms can be used interchangeably, not always. It gives you a world to go free in, but doesn't give you the tools to go free with.
It's not really fair to call Skyrim a sandbox game just because they give you access to the dev console and mod tools. That's enough of a reason to call Half Life 2 a sandbox game.

Hey, Assbutt
* Buy Skyrim
* Download Skyrim
* Skyrim installs standard updates
* "Skyrim is now detecting system settings to determine video quality"
* This is ominous
* "Video settings have been set to Ultra High Quality."
Feels good, man.
If you're not playing as a female Khajiit with fire spells and terrible luck, you're doing it wrong.

Guess what mood I'm in today.
Male Khajiit, I've only just started, just past the bit where you kill your first dragon. I'm gonna focus on fire/destructive spells and one handed weapons. ^_^ Probably going to side with the empire, join the legion.

It's not an RPG. It's an action hack-and-slash with RPG-like advancement mechanics, just like Dark Messiah. And sure as hell isn't a fucking sandbox. Garry's Mod is a sandbox. Minecraft was a sandbox, now it's a sandboxy action-adventure-exploration thingie. A sandbox game is like being given a huge bunch of Legos and a can of Red Bull, and nothing more. Build a castle, besiege it, add to it, populate it. Build a starship, fly it around, invent a story for it and have space battles and away missions with little Lego crew members and such. Build a modern sculpture, a statue of Donkey Kong, a stand for your desk lamp. Whatever, whichever, however. THAT is what sandboxing is like.

If Skyrim is not an RPG then there exist no RPGs on any game system. It has detailed character advancement and is largely quest and storyline driven. You're descending into crazytown by arguing that the newest Elder Scrolls game is not an RPG.

He doesn't think it's an RPG because it's not a turn-based RPG, the only type acceptable to hardcore fans. Just because it's all real-time doesn't mean it's not an RPG. If there's a situation where I have to go fight a whole bunch of wolves to level up because I'm not powerful enough to fight a troll, I'd say it's pretty much an RPG. You create your character and can specialize in a bunch of skills. You keep playing to level up, and your attacks are based off of number systems taking from your luck, the stats of your weapon, random chance, and most of all, your SKILLS. It's an RPG.
Mine was set to High Quality. I jacked that shit all the way up for everything and it still plays at least 60 fps (it caps there for vsync).

And when did I ever say Bethesda was infallible? Bah whatever, you seem to be one of those special types of morons who'd cut off your nose to spite your face if given the opportunity, thus arguing is pointless since you'll never get over your own retarded preconceptions.

No, I chose Argonian because that was the first race I ever enjoyed playing in a TES game. That and because lizard people > cat people.
In all seriousness though, my character is now shown as my avatar.

Could you find a darker place to take a picture? I can still make out some detail.

Yeah, I thought about that after I uploaded it. I'll find somewhere lighter next time I'm playing and retake it. XD

So far, I'm a Nord who dual-wields swords and may or may not have drank some archery bitch's blood. I recently found the mines that have the materials I needed to make a full set of elven gear. Also I found out that Hircine's Ring is not as lustrous as it was in Daggerfall or even Bloodmoon. ...antler-headed fuck.

"Welcome to FurAffinity Forums, gentlemen."
So you say after I mention that being able to create new armor / gear is nifty?
I made my problems in here quite clear early on. But apparently, Bethesda causing notable retcons (such as invalidating everything the Morrowind player / PC did), removing skills, and removing weapons is double-plus awesome. Again, I have to wonder how many people who like Oblivion's lore wouldn't be upset if suddenly Bethesda released "And then the Oblivion Gates opened right back up and the Empire was crushed in its entirety. While this was happening, the PC decides he'd like to go and reintroduce Cliffracers to the burned out shell of Morrowind, before then joining the Daedra in dismantling the last Septim's dragon-statue." I imagine the general response would be less than "Oh mai gawd this is amazing".
I'll apologize on that snipe, you never did. You merely said that any cut content by Bethesda was, and only can be, an improvement.
Dislike changes made for Skyrim, is a moron. Gotcha.
So, I take it then you don't have a counter for why Bethesda treated the post-Morrowind lore the way they did? Why Levitate is still an absent spell (if worried about abusing it, one could always make it a drain-on-use power)? Or you're just refusing to do so because you'd much rather take pot-shots at my character / others who are not satisfied with the game (as you may very well call me on taking a snipe at you, but you took a snipe at another dissatisfied at the game first).
