Storm In A Teacup: Who still plays Skyrim?

Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	so yeah my first run through was as a dark elf (lvl84) 900 hours then a high elf (lvl45) for 350 hours and now I'm a wood elf (lvl100) for 250 hours. Trying to get it perfect so that I'm all powerful but not so overpowered that bosses can't kill me after a few minutes. I really want an epic playthrough of all the main story quests including the thieves guild and mages etc
Flugmorph 09.06.16	fuck the game
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	crap I forgot about the haters
Snide 09.06.16	I still play, I'm almost always a Nord and I'm seriously hyped for the remaster coming in October (especially since because I have all the DLC I get the remaster for free). I'm about to start a new save file though but I'm re-modding the game currently.
smaugman 09.06.16	1500 hours without mods?? U crazy, U CRAZY!!!
Shadowmire 09.06.16	played around with mods endlessly but the game is awful but that's just my opinion man
Tyler. 09.06.16	fckng pisses me off that they are remastering it
Flugmorph 09.06.16	shadow knows
TheTripP 09.06.16	I play Elder Scrolls Online now but Skyrim was a godly game imo... loved it
TheSpaceMan 09.06.16	Yeah Skyrim is a solid 3/5
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	My friends got it on pc and said they played it for about twenty hours with mods and did everything that could be done and it's a horrible game but I feel like that's the worst possible way to try and play the game. Mod free you get it how it was supposed to be. Although I will admit some mods do make the game better, to say the game sucks comes off as really bland and biased to me. Although I've played it for 1500 hours so who the fuck is biased lol
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	I want to play the remaster soooo bad but alas...only have an xbox 60 :-(
Tyler. 09.06.16	they should have remastered morrowind or a game that wasnt like 3 months old
BallsDeep 09.06.16	Im not sure i want to know how many hours i clocked but it would be over a thousand too. Xbox is broken these days which is prob a good thing for my work/uni/social life
Flugmorph 09.06.16	the fabled xbox 60, precursor of the xbox 70
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	I know that when I get an Xbox One that I will never be able to own the remaster because I've put too much time into the game already with three other characters. Plus my brother has been dying for me to get Destiny and I hear that game is a time consumer. Plus the other ten xbox one games I need
Flugmorph 09.06.16	console peasant
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	and yes morrowind is the one that needs to be remastered. now that game was great. way better than oblivion
BallsDeep 09.06.16	Destiny was a dissapointment in this mans opinion but diff strokes for diff folks right
Flugmorph 09.06.16	only TES game i loved was oblivion
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	if i'm gonna pc its because i'm making or producing music. don't need to or want to divide my games into both pc and console
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	I don't think destiny looks interesting at all but my brother loves it and wants to play with me so I will do it
Shadowmire 09.06.16	yea morrowind was fantastic. oblivion had entertaining quests at least but skyrim just has nothing for me i played it on console first so no strange claims about mods ruining the game can be made
TheGreatQ 09.06.16	I don't even know where my Skyrim disc is. Don't really care either tbh
Flugmorph 09.06.16	i just wanted to tigger ye boi. no hard feelings. console wars are tiring af man.
demigod! 09.06.16	REMASTER MORROWIND U FCKN CLODS
Trebor. 09.06.16	Haven't played it in years but man have I logged a lot of hours in elder scrolls games
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	for real morrowind was a grinder too.
zakalwe 09.06.16	Jesus. 62 and a half days of Skyrim. You must have half meshed into your tele like some David Lynch vision of tech hell. Mouse Pad for hair, keyboard for mouth, controllers for eyeballs. I shall name you Tamirel and together we will conquer the world.
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	THAT'S IT? ONLY 62 days??? I feel so much better about myself now.
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	What's the release date divided by 62 days lol
Flugmorph 09.06.16	yeszs Â´crisd
zaruyache 09.06.16	From and including: Friday, November 11, 2011 To and including: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 Result: 1762 days
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	6.4 hours a week. huh. that actually sounds about right. but I've taken an entire year off from skyrim three different times so really it's more like 100 hours a week for 15 different weeks in the last 5 years.
zakalwe 09.06.16	100hrs a week!! No fucking way! You are Tamirel.
klap 09.06.16	morrowind is GOAT. never understand why they got rid of levitate
Flugmorph 09.06.16	You are Tamirel. [2]
Shadowmire 09.06.16	yeah it's just one of many streamlined sterilizations of a once interesting game/series. skyrim is morrowind lobotomized
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	agreed to some extent. they have good intentions streamlining the games but there are things you can do to make it better like keep levitate as klap said
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	I read an interview where one of the designers(?) said they don't think they would remaster morrowind because it's too different from skyrim. So basically they don't want to lose sales and they think people would be too dumb to figure the game out. Really disappointing to hear because the combat I the game needs a definite overhaul.
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	Some people are too dumb he meant the people who spend the most money on what they see in mainstream advertising
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	Don't come at them with complicated shit and they might ask questions leading to not spending the money on the game. I'm sure half of games bought are parents doing the buying but I wonder if it's a higher number than that even
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	I'm sure it leads to a decent chunk of sales that way but the majority of gamers arent kids. It's basically down to the games industry pumping a sickening amount of money into a game so they want to make a good amount on the returns. So it helps to be a game that can appeal to a wide array of people like the gta series or even skyrim.
elliootsmeuth 09.06.16	Honestly play it nearly every day.
MeatSalad 09.06.16	Lol nope, game sucks. Somehow manages to be even worse than fallout 4.
elliootsmeuth 09.06.16	"Hey look at me! I'm hating on two very popular games! Look at me! Please! Give me your attention!" Jfc, off yourself. There's a difference between expressing your honest opinion in an intelligent way and being an attention whore.
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	I might try Fallout 4 five or ten years from now but probably not. I only like New Vegas anyway. Played that game a lot too
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	Fallout 4 is still a good game but disappointing imo. Like Bethesda isn't making bad games they just aren't making games with as much depth as before.
Tyler. 09.06.16	if dishonored 2 is a let down bethesda is dead to me
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	oooohhhh I've played about 4-5 hours of the first Dishonored. I still have that game...I should finish it.
ShinjiIkari 09.06.16	Skyrim wasn't that good. Honestly, Bethesda in general is highly overrated.
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	Dishonored 2 will rule. Bethesda is only publishing it not making it.
Tyler. 09.06.16	they could still fuck it up ea does it all the time.
Storm In A Teacup 09.06.16	Bethesda and Elder Scrolls did a lot to contribute to video games early on in terms of "firsts" in gameplay and design.
Tyler. 09.06.16	well that's nice and all but all they like to do now is pander. just like obsidian make the next fallout game ffs
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	EA isn't involved though and Bethesda dont seem the type of company that would make a dev team water down a game for sales. I feel pretty safe in saying Dishonored2 will be great.
Tyler. 09.06.16	they wouldnt make a dev team do it they'll just do it themselves youre right honestly
Tyler. 09.06.16	just looking forward to dishonored 2 a lot and besthesdas track record hasnt been the best lately but honestly it should be fine
RogueNine 09.06.16	Game is great, need to start playing again.
ConcubinaryCode 09.06.16	But Bethesda aren't the ones making it. They're just publishing it and every game they've published lately is pretty spot on. It's actually pretty clever of them to make millions off their own games and then aquire a bunch of studios that put out a bunch of praiseworthy games.
Tyler. 09.06.16	i know they arent
Tyler. 09.06.16	the only games theyve put out recently that i would consider good are doom and dishonored. the evil within was lol
ConcubinaryCode 09.07.16	I liked the new wolfenstein too. Rage was a pretty garbage game though and the new quake probably will be too.
Tyler. 09.07.16	never played the original so i probably wont bother with that
MeatSalad 09.07.16	"Jfc, off yourself. There's a difference between expressing your honest opinion in an intelligent way and being an attention whore." Todd Howard in the flesh!
MeatSalad 09.07.16	Also +1 for bethesda's recently published games being on point - doom, dishonored and wolfenstein were all varying levels of great. looking forward to dishonored 2
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	yeah doom is fuckin badass looking. haven't played it but I watched the play through of it think I'm gonna play dragon age though next after I get tired of crisis 3 multiplayer
Anthracks 09.26.16	i've never played this game for virgins
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	aren't we the cute lil embellisher
omgbecky 09.26.16	Does anyone play eso?
smaugman 09.26.16	Yes ofc it rules hard
Dodenakker 09.26.16	I will with the remaster.
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	I wish I could play eso. I should watch some playthroughs of that actually
smaugman 09.26.16	eso remaster??
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	no skyrim is coming out again with a remaster he was answering the thread title lol
smaugman 09.26.16	why would they remaster skyrim? it's only 5 years old...
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	I guess they completely rebuilt the graphics and added a bunch of new graphics related things into the game like volumetric god rays and a new snow weather thing
smaugman 09.26.16	seems pretty unnecessary
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	it's abusive actually if you research the statements they've made to press/media
smaugman 09.26.16	what do you mean
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	It's $60 for console and free for pc http://www.gamezone.com/news/here-s-why-the-skyrim-remaster-will-be-60-on-consoles-3440636
smaugman 09.26.16	im fine with that : )
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	did you see the twitter conversation that took place on the link?
smaugman 09.26.16	notyet
smaugman 09.26.16	fuckin bethesda needs to make a top notch elder scrolls 6 with a brand new, exclusive engine or something
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	that's at least 4 or 5 years away
smaugman 09.26.16	dunno man, eso and ess was 5 years apart. fallout 3 and 4 7 years. they are just plain lazy if they use 9-10 years to develop a new elder scrolls
Shemson 09.26.16	Skyrim is probably my second favourite modern game and I will definitely replay the whole thing when the remaster comes out. Favourite modern game is The Witcher III btw, anyone who likes Skyrim and hasn't played the latest Witcher game really should ASAP.
smaugman 09.26.16	i second that shemson, witcher 3 is literally perfection
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	they already officially said 2019 is the goal but they're also trying to have it be a virtual reality game so I can already see the push back to 2020. also yeah my brother has told me about witcher III. so jealous he has a next gen console :'(
smaugman 09.26.16	christ storm, dont be such a pleb. get a fucking desktop
Shemson 09.26.16	CDPR are such great developers man, they put so much love and care into their games. Both DLC storylines were outstanding as well as the main quest and all side quests! There was no part of that game I didn't feel completely engrossed in tbh.
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	I will. some of my best friends always just build their computers. they've been nagging me about it for years.
smaugman 09.26.16	Do you not have the funds?
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	no I don't have any extra money for anything.
smaugman 09.26.16	: (
guitarded_chuck 09.26.16	smaugs daddy gives him anything he wants as he wastes away in their basement, tho daddy hopes one day for him to emerge and go into the world as a real man
TalonsOfFire 09.26.16	Played Skyrim two days ago, always more quests to do it seems. It's definitely one of my favorite modern games, and agreed with the people who say Witcher III is perfect for Skyrim fans. I need to get into ESO more, but all the differences with the way it works can be confusing for someone who hasn't really played MMO-RPGs before.
Storm In A Teacup 09.26.16	yeah 400 quests done on each playthrough and I still find stuff I haven't even done before. I also like how there are so many unique bosses. the two final bosses of the game are pretty sweet. The Ebony Warrior is so much easier to beat than stupid Karstaag. ugh he grinds my gears.
Shemson 09.26.16	I never bothered buying ESO because it's an online game and when I play video games I play them to escape the world, I don't want to interact with other people. Am I wrong in thinking like this with ESO?
TalonsOfFire 09.26.16	I haven't played a lot of ESO yet but I haven't really harnessed the social aspect of it so far and find it very fun. I've found the best part of the game is how detailed and diverse the world is
omgbecky 09.26.16	Shemson, you're wrong. I'll admit that the majority of other players are annoying af, but you can turn that off & do your own thing.
Shemson 09.26.16	Can you literally turn it off so it's just computer controlled characters that you interact with? If that's the case then yeah I might have to get on this.
ConcubinaryCode 09.26.16	^no there's still people running around because it is an mmo after all. I'm almost certain it's that you can turn off chat voice and ignore all interactions. People still pop up but they don't block or hinder you at all. You can do things on your own. Also storm didn't mention the skyrim remaster is bringing mods to the Xbox one if anyone owns that thing.
Dewinged 10.28.16	At the office waiting for the clock to tick to go home and dive into the Special Edition. I wasted 1 year and a half in fucking Skyrim. 1000 hours, easily. I even stopped listening to music. This time, it'll be different... Yeah, it'll be different.
smaugman 10.28.16	anyone got the remastered version? im going to play it later today
Storm In A Teacup 10.28.16	I wish
smaugman 10.28.16	are you a console pleb?
guitarded_chuck 10.28.16	i usually start a new skyrim file every winter, feels like a classic winter game sort of like how black metal fits with winter
smaugman 10.28.16	i havent played it since 2013, except just a little last few days. today i think im gonna start up a new character on the remastered version
Avagantamos 10.28.16	started it up on PC and it's slow as fuck
smaugman 10.28.16	remastered one? what's your specs?
guitarded_chuck 10.28.16	i just got a new comp a couple months ago im sure itd run super good but i cant really be bothered with paying for a game i bought years ago again i dont think
Avagantamos 10.28.16	GTX950M graphics card, 8gb ram, 2.6ghz i7 processor I have another 8gb ram I could install
smaugman 10.28.16	kinda slow processor tho and chuck, i'd say it's not worth buying atm. i mean it's basically legendary edition with some graphical updates. i got it free so i mean cool
guitarded_chuck 10.28.16	get me one for free bro u kno im ur fave
smaugman 10.28.16	)
Storm In A Teacup 12.04.16	looks like the graphics update isn't that much different. the only reason to get the new release is mods I guess or if you've never played it before
Sinternet 12.04.16	i never finished it the first time so i've been playing it again recently (although kinda stopped because that big no man's sky update dropped) but it's been real fun so far if a bit repetitive, there are some pretty good character mods which make it 10x better because i don't have to stare at my character's ugly arse rat hair any more
Gwyn. 12.04.16	haven't had the slightest desire to pick it back up since 2012 but I did play it for 150 or so hours so I guess I got a good value
budgie 12.04.16	im playing skyrim requiem
