Skyrim's story was just so cliche and boring to me. I enjoyed all the little Side Quests more than the Rebellion and killing Alduin @.@
I'd like to see an Elder Scrolls game where Bethesda finally just gives up trying to tell a grandiose story, because their NPCs are about as convincingly human as celery sticks, frozen in place, staring at you, in a paranoid fashion. It also doesn't help to reuse the same six voice actors over and over and over again. It you're gonna go that route, just give us a giant sandbox Tamriel with tons of side quests and guilds and so on to play with. Forget the grandiose storyline, forget a giant war against the Durrgons--just let us have the giant sandbox. Not the MMO, that was a poor attempt to be Guild Wars 2.5 and you know it.
Just give me a sandbox Tamriel, take the resources you'd normally dump on million dollar VA's you kill off in ten minutes and on scripting these humongous events, and just give us a robust graphical engine with a giant Tamriel sandbox. Let modders do the rest. People would
buy it. Better still, expansion content at that point would be ezmode and rake in loads more cash. Like an Oblivion Realm DLC adding the princes and demonic hellish fiery zones.
Just a thought.
Oh, and while I don't like the MMO, I would totally be down for a local server multiplayer type thing. It'd be a lot of fun to load up Sandbox Tamriel with my dad and go tromping through a dungeon together. Just throwing that out there.
No? We're going to do more of
this?... Sigh... Okay...
