Its GameFAQS after all, i know that feel

Did they fix the resistance bug yet?

It's pretty much my one gripe.

as far as i know, yes. my Redguard is running around with 85% Magic Resistance and 50% Frost Resistance

More like Skyrim 1.05.

Kill cams? This is literally the least fun thing they could have worked on. How about adding some depth to the combat?

The combat isn't really an issue with me. My biggest gripe is the lack of equipment. I have never found a weapon that was worth using over a glass/ebony/deadric weapon. I have no reason to ever search chests or loot bodies. Its all junk.

Yeah that too. Skyrim really killed dungeon crawling with smithing. I wish they would use a diablo style loot system, maybe less extreme, but don't just give every weapon the same stats.

Elder Scrolls games do a lot, but frequently I keep feeling unsatisfied at the end because the mechanics are all so shallow once you get past how big everything is.

This. Over and over again

the fans wanted it after seeing the GameJam video, and Bethesda gave it to them for free.

sure combat needs an overhaul, but i don't think Bethesda should be heavily criticized for giving a large number of fans what they want, for free.

I'm loving Mass Effect though. The game feels very alive compared to Skyrim, because the world is so small it seems like there is a lot of detail in everything, the combat can be very strategic, and sci-fi is way cooler than medieval shit.

medieval shit has more impact imo plus your just mad cause your xbox was confiscated

Well if that's what people wanted, I guess that's good of Beth to do it. I guess I'm just alone in not caring about it. The only one I like is the one for arrows because I can never find bodies I shoot off of high places.

I can't understand how one of the most successful game developers ever, like Bethesda, can't at least make these animations look good. Make the weapons not clip out of the character model that they're stabbing and have them leave a mark like a hole in the armor.

i understand if it's not your thing, but imo its good of Bethesda to listen to the fans and see what they can do. there were a lot of things in the GameJam video and i assume that the Killcams were the most polished or tested thing they could put into the game. im still waiting on ambient screen occlusion and the new water flow shaders though

that being said, i agree that some of the animations do have clipping issues. the most noticeable being the one where you stab them in the chest with a sword while behind them, that could do with more work.

Yeah, the half assed animations just reinforce how terribly done everything else is done in the game. Not many games have magic, stealth, combat, dragons, quests, enchanting, alchemy, loot, and all of these other things, but none of them are done particularly well in Elder Scrolls games.

i got bored of my 2H and SnS characters by level 20, the 2H combat is dull as hell.
Thief/Assassin builds are the only ones i get past level 30

i was also surprised at the lack of an Unarmed tree.
Hand to Hand was in Oblivion, and Unarmed is in Fallout as well (and is fun to play).
