Umm...No...
I appreciate that a smiley at the end would change the tone...That's why I always add the smileys, to make sure if my tone is intended to be light, that is obvious...I know that what I say could be sometimes taken wrong...This is because I am, at my basic level, a git...

Unfortunately, what seems to be a very vocal majority of a very
minor section of the people who play the game
and post on the Bethesda site, appear to be repeating, parrot fashion, the phrase It Ruins The Immersion. And I absolutely believe that it's being said without really understanding it...Hence, its repetition to the point of cliche...
And once more, I say that while it is an amazingly immersive experience that it is
absolutely possible to lose onesself

my way, where I can happily play for 20 mins as the dual Bound Sword wielding Bosmer Knight of The Nine, Caerellin, before I go to work and do a
bit, or anyone else's way, where they absolutely refuse to fast travel, and all that...It is...Only a game...
Sorry if I offend anyone with it but, that is my - however different to anyone else's it may be - Opinion...
