Skryim: Challenging my conjugation skills.
I got this game. Everyone has been raving about it. It’s called The Elder Scrolls IV: Skrim.
So if you been around the internet a few times you would be quite aware that Skrim has been long anticipated, and Skrim has been out for about a month (as of writing this thing). Despite it being not finished, it even sold 3.5million units sold within the first 2 days of release. Steve would be proud, minus the lacking of a turtle character. YEE.
I wanted to find out what the Skrim hype is about. great graphics engine, open world, never ending quests and, of course, the continuation of The Elder Scrolls series. Please note that I’ve never played the other games, nor will I ever play them. Skrim.
I’ve sunk many a hour into Skrim (well in excess of 30) trying to level up my elf which I aptly named Doob. I wanted to call him Noob, butI thought it unoriginal and Boob would have been teen silly. As such, Doob it is (it is also a mirror image of itself).
I’ve gone down the path of sneak and archery, using the bugs, stupid NPCs and boring gameplay to level up.
I’ve spent some time arranging dead NPCs in compromising positions.
I’ve ridden a horse off the side of a mountain, replicating this scene from The Simpsons. LOL.
I’ve even tried to kill characters that will be needed later in the game.
What can I summarise from my Skrim experience aside from my slightly lighter skin, malnutrition, lake of sleep and anti social tendencies?
I HATE THIS GAME.
I was underwhelmed by the graphics.
I was bored by the pace.
I was annoyed that a head shot with a bow doesn’t kill.
AND WHY IS EVERYONE TRYING TO KILL ME?
F#*@!
Okay. I’m out of here.
I will be playing more Skrim.
