Let's Play The Elder Scrolls - Arena (7): More Rihad Stuff

Yep. More selling loot. More running around the city. And yes, I *still* get lost in Rihad.

Not to mention. I think these newer installments of older games like TES are still marketing towards our demographic. I think Bethesda knows that people like you and I have adult lives and therefore do not have time to really deal with all the intricacies of previous TES installments and have thus made the game simpler just for the sake of allowing us to enjoy the games around busier schedules.

Ironically I'm able to play older-style (read: complicated) RPG's within the scope of my busy schedule just fine. They're really dumbing them down to appeal to the console masses, who have absolutely no idea what an RPG really is and just want a game where you whack things in the face. There's a point when you go too far and make the game simply not worth playing though, and Oblivion crossed it.

Try picking a lock, then tell me that. -_-

@DWTerminator Things like lock picking shouldn't be that hard

@DWTerminator

Yeah it is, why I get to laugh at my friends when they can't do it :D

The new lockpicking system is painfully easy.

@DWTerminator

not to mention the speech.. I loved doing that. Though I do prefer the new lock picking, and sorry to cut in ><" Just wanted to point it out.

@DWTerminator I see you hating on the newer installments of TES. While I agree that they are easier than the previous installments, I feel they are still great games (Although, having played Skyrim for the last week, the difficulty level is much higher). I've been gaming since '89 and I think you and I both have the same problem of being nostalgic for older games which makes us fault newer games for not being like the older ones.

Just had to double check on the wiki and yep haggling was changed for Skyrim. Now it's part of the Speech perks tree and it changes buying and selling prices by FIXED amounts (from 10%-30%). I have to say the earlier games make haggling a lot more interesting.
