The second-generation Pontiac Sunbird, introduced by the automaker for the 1982 model year as the J2000, was built to be an inexpensive and fuel-efficient front-wheel-drive commuter car capable of seating five.

Don't play skyrim without a mod file that's at least twice as large as the base game. With 130 modifications the game goes from _Bad-Vanilla-Boring-Watered-Down-Console-Shit_ to _Just-OK_.

Worth noting that Morrowind is a great game out of the box, rumor has it that with graphical modification it even looks about as pretty as Oblivion.

Oblivion was the worst of the bunch really, Skyrim isn't as awful it just gets realllllly dull and repetitive after a while.

Someone needs to pick up Bethesda's slack and make a comparable game that actually has exciting combat mechanics, just steal the melee system from Chivalry:Medieval Warfare and you're good to go really, on that note, if some of you want to just hack and slash at other people with variety of big blades and polearms you can't go wrong with Chivalry. There's even fun to be had in that game by just spamming ASOIAF spoilers.

Those games need demons/dark souls combat, and as soon as I realized how good that mashup would be, I no longer had any will to play any of them as they currently are.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Overly technical, punishing combat is not what Elder Scrolls is about. You want Dark Souls, go play Dark Souls. I don't much enjoy Dark Souls, myself, and wouldn't much enjoy Skyrim if it were like that. :shrug:

I'm weird, I like games for particular reasons, I know that. It's mostly that I hate morrowind combat and would love games for the world and the quests if I weren't forced into combat so frequently. Just straight removing combat altogether might even be more fun for me.

More importantly, the slow, methodical combat of Dark Souls wouldn't gel well with a giant open world as it would mean it would take forever to get anywhere over land or through a dungeon. Let alone the lethality of Dark Souls with carefully placed respawn points doesn't mesh with it either.

I wish I could take all the weapons and abilities from Far Cry 3 and use them in Skyrim. That would be a game of games.

I dunno, slow methodical combat seems like a straight upgrade from what I can only call "slow haphazard combat". I'm more talking about swinging a sword feeling like swinging a sword than the relative strength of monsters vs the player. It's dark souls mechanics I want, not dark souls difficulty.

Honestly surprised there hasn't been a top to bottom westeros mod for skyrim. There's a couple chumps trying to make one but the chances of that ever getting finished is up there with the next book release.

Wouldn't the HBO DLC just skip everything and toss in the Sandor Boss fight? Like the title screen is a road sign left or right. Left is the books and right is HBO. Clicking HBO skips all the story and cut scenes and BAM you're in a fight with Sandor. The left sign turns the game into a text based adventure game.

With plenty of food descriptions.

To truly represent the impact it'd be more like the DLC would brick your system and then invite attractive, interesting people over to play a Mario Party style remake and one of the girls is thinking about giving you a handy if you would only stop trying to tell everyone what's different between the base game and this other game.

So, like Winds of Winter, that handjob is never coming? Nor are you?

The handy in this scenario represents the extremely positive story changes enacted by HBO and how we're likely to get more of them if we can tamp down on inevitable book-reader pansies who would give up something as perfect as the Sandor/Brienne fight just because it didn't happen in Ser Comicon's tome of sadness.

No, this is not a fighting simulator. This is why we felt it was important to end the story before saltpans. If you are interested in a fighting simulation game, perhaps we could recommend "Sword Fighting Simulator".

Ty made a deal with the devil when he was 20: ten years under the lash of GRRM, serving his every harrowing want, and then he would be a published author in his own right.

And Satan gets his soul, but that's pittance compared to "the tutelage". :devil:
