But it's gets old. It's like seeing a monster movie and seeing the monster at the very start and for a long time. It loses it's momentum.

If you fought a dragon every 5-10 hours then I think that would be better.

I have to disagree with you. I find nothing more awesome than minding my own business doing some random side quest and suddenly being attacked by a dragon. It's a great reminder to me that, even though I'm not currently doing the main quest that the main story is still going on, that hell is still breaking loose.

I dont think Dragons were ever supposed to be some rare boss monster or w/e. Its still fun to fight, see them and watch the random things they get up to.

Also concerning the Dark brotherhood storyline;

Spoiler:
Thing is creepy as shit, climbing into the darkness of the night mothers tomb, her rotten corpse faceing you while a complete madman whispers behind you, only to have her light up and start speaking inches away from you...

I need help. I began doing the Crimson Nirnroot quest, and left after I found the object for the reason I had been in Black Reach to begin with. Does anyone know how to return to Black Reach? What is the entrance called, and where on the map is it?

Never mind I found it.

Does anyone have a phobia to spiders? I thought that the Spider Daedra were creepy in Oblivion, and now they go and put full blown giant spiders in Skyrim... I hate spiders.

Anything that says "great lift" goes down into black reach. Although I am sure almost any ruin puts you in there, since theres a lot of Dwarven ruins that have access routes.

Also, concerning black reach;

Spoiler:
Are there any more quests down there other than Crimson root and the Elder scroll one? What about the big city and glowing globe in the middle? I went there, but I am surprised there are no other quests for such a large area

Actually I found another quest nearby.

Spoiler:
if you travel, West, Northwest, of Alftland you will come across a lighthouse called, Frostflow, which has an interesting quest, that I'm doing right at this moment. I'decided that I can return to Alftland at any time, and find the remaining Crimsom=n Nirnroot samples. The Large chest, and cryptic message's left by the tenants of the lighthouse has piqued my interest lol

Learned Transmute this morning, such a good spell! Can buy Iron Ore for 4g, transmute to Gold Ore and sell for 25g...or smelt it for smithing.

Finally retrieved all of the Crimson Nirnroot. Wow that place was huge.

We got this a couple days ago, I have to share it with my stupid girlfriend, so I can't play all the time. I play a warrior type at the moment, specializing in Heavy Armor and Two Handers. I'm level 10 and

Spoiler:
just became a werewolf for the companions

But yeah, it's great fun, and so vast.

This is the reason why I have two systems. PS3 and X-Box 360. With two you get to hog all of the glory. I'm just up in the air about this Rock Smith game and which console to buy it for... I have to have it.

But yep Skyrim is serious, I hope one day Bethesda gives us the opportunity to play an Elder scrolls that spans the entire world of Tamriel, or whatever you call the planet that all of these Elder Scroll games take place on. Now that would be epic. I'd love to work for Bethesda.

I got a PS3 and 360, too. But I only have one big TV, and no urge to buy Skyrim twice.

But, yeah, I was also thinking that it would be cool to see the whole continent, but perhaps there are human limitations getting in the way of that.

A true fan would buy it twice.

Three times even.

Yeah, but I'm not a true fan, just think it's a neat game...

You should return the game. You clearly don't like it.

Nah, it's alright, I just play it to relax between Halo and Madden.

When you say human limitations, do you mean the time it would take to play such a game, or Bethesda's ability to make one?

Spoiler:
Boethia's Ebony Armor is incredible, it poisons the attacker, or anyone that gets within striking distance, and it's also sneak armor to boot. I have to run after my attackers, because the moment they they attack, they start losing health ha ha ha this is great. Oh and it also looks great with Nightingale armor (well... the helmet, gloves, and Nightingale boots that is.

I mean the ability to make one. I mean I don't really know anything about game making, and I'm sure tools get better and better, but I could imagine that there's still a lot of work going into the individual parts of the world, and that that might increase a lot the more space they have to cover.

I see your point. A game like that would certainly have to be played on a system much more powerful than current gens allow, but the next gen may be that lot more power that would be needed. I just thought that it would be great to play a complete world. Despite Skyrim's incredible feel, I have yet to feel the atmosphere that I felt when I first played Morrowind. I'm looking for that feel again. The Vampire clans, Telvanni, Redoran, Indoril and other house clans, gave Morrowind a certain, je ne cest quoi.

I never got into Morrowind funnily enough, I have it on my shelf but I probably wont be able to play it, doubt it would even run and I would prboably rather play Skyrim anyway.

Also, what I would like to see is no instancing, it would probably take a bite out of your processing power or something but as peeps said, tech is growing more powerful and being able to go into cities and such without having to transition would be nice. I would also like things to animate at longer distances or show up, the view distance is not quite far enough imo, too often towns from high up have no movement in them or waterfalls seem to freeze as if the animation doesnt appear until I am closer.
