Dear Bethesda, I would like my life back please. Sincerely, f*ck you. (Fallout 4 and Orsinium)

[Hyzenthlay]

Favourite: *Shivering Isles* the expansion pack of Oblivion which is my fave main TES title. Morrowind is my 2nd fave. Dont have a most hated Bethesda game.

I dont notice the bugs or they jus dont bother me as much when I play. I finished Shivering Isles in like a wk, so addictive.

I dont remember much of any. I usually punch NPCs when they smack talk me like that. I prefer random lines like " Your stick is a lot nicer than mine, Sheogorath." and " He loves dogs. Dogs like sticks. Dogs like meat. I wonder if they like meat on a stick" lmao

I LOVED the Shivering Isles. To be honest I love that cheese-obsessed lunatic in general.

Ha ha ha, I was talking about my speech in the OP but now that you mention it TES does have some of that going on anyway. In ESO about 2/3 of the Khajiit sound like they are trying to get into my pants. Maybe it's just the way they talk, though? There was this one particular one that was outside a fighting arena. I'm pretty sure that If I had died in the arena she would have still come up to my corpse and hit on it.

I have only ever taken back a single game in my lifetime, and it was fallout 3.

I assume this sucks just as hard. Graphics are dirt, gameplay looks suffocatingly unoriginal.

Bethesda made wolfenstein the old blood, that sucked also.

The Witcher 3 for GOTY

peace out, plebs.

No need to start a class war in here! I have never played the Witcher 3. I played 2 but, to be honest, I was put off by the combat system. It seemed clunky and heavily weighted on rolling out of the way. Dodging, whilst technically more realistic, doesn't keep my interest. It tends to break my immersion and I scream at the screen. I like to relax whilst playing a game and, much like Dark Souls, I was not relaxed whilst playing the Witcher. That being said I do believe that I'm just not very good at the aforementioned games. In fact I believe they are currently in my living room singing "No, I don't want no scrubs…”

Fallout 3’s graphics were dirty? I remember them being pretty good for their time but then again I can’t really remember what else came out that year. 2008… What came out that year? :S

OutlawTorn and Heartless Angel- You guys clearly know more of the lore of TES than I do. I don't know either of those guys but I will definitely keep my eyes open. I tend to get so lost in the world that I am in that I barely remember the lore that I have read. That being said I think it's interesting in TES when it comes to wizards/ mages. It's very difficult to tell who is the most powerful. Take ESO, for example, I have come across some very powerful mages like Vanus Galerion who is (correct me if I'm wrong) the founder of the mages guild. Now Vanus has done some insane spells in that game. I saw hime pull himself apart to keep away the daedra and then put himself back together. Insanity, that's some straight up Voldemort stuff right there. Then I met Telenger the Artificer who managed to fend of Boethiah for a while and kept out daedric influences when other powerful mages couldn't. He did these things with seemingly minimal effort too! I tend to think that the Psijic Order are the most powerful of all the mages, and their leaders the most powerful of them. I don't know why I think this. I guess it's the mystery of them.

Right, I guess I'd better answer my own questions, huh? Here we go...

What is your favourite/ most hated edition to the Bethesda gaming arsenal to date?

My favourite is and always will be Fallout 3. Fallout 4 is incredible, and i love the new base-building aspect, but I bought Fallout 3 with no expectations and no clue what it was and came away with a feeling that I can never replicate. It's a feeling I only had with a few other games such as FFIX, LoZ: OOT and Skies of Arcadia. I only own Fallout 3 because I got a voucher for Game and it had more money on it than I realised. I went in for Mass Effect and came away with a number of games. The wonder i felt when stepping out of Vault 101 was incredible. I felt lost and I've never felt that in a game before or since.

Bethesdas worst game for me was Brink. That game sucked so hard that I only played it for about an hour and it hasn't been used since. I hate multiplayer only games but this one was just so, so bad.

Do you feel that the bug that inevitably come with a Bethesda title should be ironed out before release or are you just happy to sink another 8 weeks of your life into one way relationship?

Like Crescent I honestly don't ever notice bugs. Even if I ever see a glitch, or whatever, It's always minor like the ragdoll physics sending bodies flying or whatever. I've never encountered a game ending bug like some people. I know Skyrim had some but I guess I was lucky. I think the strangest one i had was when the corpse of Lydia turned up to my wedding in Skyrim. That was just hilarious though. I remember writing about it on here, my adventures in Skyrim.

Will the sexually suggestive speech come back?

Probably...

What is your favourite moment playing a Bethesda game, or what made you dislike a game?

My favourite moment in a Bethesda game is really, really hard to choose. I tend to fall in love fast but it's fleeting and I move on to roast another game (after like 200 hours. ). I did love my Skyrim guy, though. When I got all the jewels and suddenly every burial urn had gems in it. I had about 300 diamonds in Skyrim and an unappreciative wife. I also loved taking on one of the group dungeons in ESO recently. Just me and this one mage took on a gladiator arena and the whole time i was shooting arrows, hacking people to pieces with my twin axes and thinking "wait, why are we killing these athletes again?"

My favourite moment, though, the one that stands out the most is probably when i first took on a Behemoth in Fallout 3. When the Lyons Pride was there helping me and we were getting absolutely annihilated. Every last bit of ammo I had was being thrown at it and people were being flung around all over the place. Then... Out of the dust and smoke cloud that was my last rocket (which I missed with in a panic) comes Charon, my faithful ghoul sidekick (who I thought had died hours earlier when we were in the subway) he's dressed in sexy lingerie and is armed with a baseball bat. He runs right over to this colossal monster and just starts wailing on it's knee. I lost my sh*t, was in fits of laugher with tears running down my face. Then the super mutant falls down deadand Charon runs over and just says "did I hit him?" pauses, looks around and then "what the hell?". I should probably note that he was in the lingerie because we'd just been to Dukov's brothel-like house and I wanted us to be appropriately dressed. Anyway, very fond memory.

I also love that moment of the sinking, haunting realisation that Dr. Braun in Fallout 3 was actually the little girl Betty and was absolutely crackers. This game is the reason little girls terrify me.

Why are they charging £10 for a bear cub? It's pretty and I want it. (seriously though, do you think that it is okay that Bethesda have gone into the 'online items market' or do you think this new type of gaming hurts the industry?)

Usually I don't mind. I've played F2P MMO's before but I do think that the prices should reflect the item and I don't think Bethesda's do. You end up spending about £40 on useful things and £10 on thinks that have no value except as vanity items. It is was too expensive for things that don't impact the game. I can't complain, though, they are letting us play sub-free (even though I pay for ESO Plus).

EDIT:

I found my original post on Skyrim. Originally posted on the 23rd of Nov 2011. Here it is, if you wanna read-

I'm a huge Bethesda fan, anybody who knows me can vouch for that. This game has seriously killed my social (with a legendary, enchanted dwemer dagger roused with frostbite poison). I've been constantly tired since I bought it and rarely do much else. (Sorry Lucid) I should be coming on here and getting on with my Rp. Perhaps, dare I say, go out? I mean, it took me several hours and numerous trips to choose a spouse. My god was that a waste of time. Her meals suck, I have nothing to spend the money on and all she does is thank me for helping her a year back. I've resorted to running past her whenever I'm in the house. Or shouting 'SILENCE, WOMAN!' Anyway, my point is that this game, while amazing, is taking over my life.

Currently I play as a male orc who is the spitting image of Vinnie Jones and is thus named... Mikael. He's level 30, enjoys long walks on the beach, chasing butterflies and beating people with twin maces. His only friend, Lydia, was chewed on by a dragon and thown from a mountain (along with his priceless collection of dragon bones). Since then he hasn't trusted another person and goes it alone. He now spends his days with his trusty steed (who, to save heartache, is an immortal nutjob). During his time in Skyrim Mikael has developed burning hatred if children, small inpossibly hard to navigate rocks and people called Cicero.

He's been on numerous adventures and has seen some incredible things. Such as the time he and an argonian woman took on a dragon together on a lonely walk to Windhelm. He felt a certain comradery with the woman. Sadly the argonian died in the battle. This left Mikael to do the only thing he knows- loot her. It was then that he found the note. She had been an assassin hunting for him. So he threw her corpse in the river.
Then there was the time he got married and all his closest erm... I guess they must've been his fiances friends because he'd never seen that scary witch wither tattooed face before. The beauty if the couples day was ruined, however, when the corpse of his friend Lydia turned up (presumably to give back his dragon bones). Now they live in a house in Windhelm where she makes him a pie a day and gives him spending money to blow on dragonflies.

Mikael shall continue his adventures in Skyrim and will strive for better.

Good times.

I actually love this game.

Hyz.
