I got a new video game a week ago or so.
Well, new to me anyway… :)
I bought Skyrim as I had heard it is a good
game and because I usually play Dragon Age and from what I could understand the
two are quite similar. They’re both RPGs set in a fantasy world and you can
choose if you want to play as a warrior, rogue or mage.
On my first hour of playing Skyrim I got the
bright idea to pickpocket someone. You can do so in Dragon Age no problem, if it
fails it fails and that’s all that happens. I figured there was nothing to lose
so I did the same in Skyrim – and before I knew it everyone was attacking me. I
managed to kill the one I pickpocketed and that’s when more people showed up in
an angry mob. I didn’t know how to use the controls properly and thus got killed
by an angry man with a frying pan.
Playing as a rogue is easy in Dragon Age.
You just be opportunist whenever you get a chance. In Skyrim, however,
everything is illegal and they will kill you for it. You can’t trespass, pick
locks or steal without consequences (unless you’re really good at it and don’t
get caught!).
I torched a random chicken with my fire
magic because I was quite bored - and got killed because of it. One teeny tiny chicken, caused the death of four people.
Overall, this game is much too complicated
for me.
Sellingpoint vs my reality
You can go anywhere! I get lost
Visit loads of places! I can’t find them
So many side missions! Over-flooded with scrap
You can steal anything Someone will kill you
Daytime/nighttime It gets dark a lot.
Weather changes It mostly snows or rains
Make a character Y U NO pretty?
The main thing is miss in Skyrim is that
in Dragon Age I have funny companions. In Skyrim I’m allowed one at the time (if I’m
not mistaken) and in Dragon Age I can have three and they all make funny remarks
that make me chuckle :)
I'm not done playing Skyrim, but I have no clue what the hay I'm doing.
The title menu song is scaring the bejesus out of Schmoosie...
