It's less about combat mechanics and loot, although they are still a key part of things. It's like being part of something, part of a story. Whereas Bethesda games aren't like that at all. Generally for me it's "tedious time sink" where other folks see gameplay, and I never really feel like I'm a character, the hero, rather just more of a guy sitting at a chair at home trying to raise my avatar's stats by angling my character in a corner of the mage guild basement while I tape my spacebar down to raise an athletic skill while I sleep (I literally did this in Morrowind  ). It's a grind.
Different strokes for different folks. 
That's the world we live in. It's like 15 million people watching American Idol while 400 thousand watch The Wire. I happen to think The Wire is a far better thing to watch, but I'm in the minority. |
I love Diablo style romps, Skyrims system of endless quests and Bioware namely the Mass Effect series..Love em' all.
