Yeah the game has fewer skills, there are fewer spells, spellmaking is gone, signs have been removed and turned into a blessing system similar to the 9 divines, classes went away, and weapons/armor never degrade.

Placing items onto shelves is also very annoying because due to the broken physics system, items frequently fly randomly all over the house when you enter it. This makes it pretty pointless IMO to bother hand placing anything almost anywhere. The item boxes are also very large so two things can't be sat close together without causing an explosion of flying items that you just spent 15 minutes tediously positioning.

That said there are lots of good things about Skyrim as well. The quest system provides with infinite small quests to keep you running around killing time, the environment is beautiful, the main quest as well as all of the DLC quests are very entertaining and expand on the ES lore quite a bit, the world can be interacted with more, and the combat has been further improved.

It is a mixed bag for me. Some aspects have improved but at the same time it is hard not to notice how many skills, spells, and various other small things have went away in favor of simplicity.

Should've bought one off that Nord trader.

But it's on the verge of breaking. It takes more than one hit to kill me

Interesting, Kiln. If I ever get my hands on a PS3 I think I´m gonna try it and see what I think. Maybe. If I´m not too occupied with Arena through Oblivion!

Shoulda spent more time farming the Market District, Thorny Boy.

Not if I do it right



And when it breaks I can always stab him iwth what's left



Well you expect Orcs to be good smiths. They make some damn good armour after all.

I still think they stole that design form the Mongols.

Nords for the weapons, Orcs for the armour!

And yet I've never so much as heard of an Orcish horse archer

How on Nirn did they do it?

That's the most true thing I've ever heard

And Imperials for target practice

I was going to say Bosmer, but dem bows, and Buffy.

I'm burning soup lol

Youtube has changed again, I hate it

It changed?!

Ooooooooooooooooooohhhhh did it.

Maybe it´s just my computer, but I can´t comment any longer and any response that has a link to it only links to the same clip and not to what it responded to. I don´t know what´s happened

Thumbs up/down on comments is also gone, at least on my end.

There's a thread about it in the community discussion section over at the Bethesda Forums. Google's trying to push Google Plus on everyone seems to basically be the gist of it.

Edit: An article shamelessly pilfered from that thread about what's going on@ link

More restrictions and forcing then, it seems. Welcome 1984. Next thing I bet is we can´t even see clips without connecting stuff to other stuff and give out our phone numbers and address

Yep, looks like no Google+ account, no commenting.
