It's like the other versions, until you get maybe 40+ hours in, then the game gradually becomes unplayable. It's honestly not worth buying on PS3 now, it's insulting.

I thought the Dwemer disappearance was obvious? Wasn't it explained in Morrowind to be something to do with the heart of Lorkan?

The leveling system, as in perks and health/magicka/stamina is fine. The leveled enemies, loot, and quest rewards, however, are complete garbage.

Seriously Bethesda, just get rid of scaling all together. All scaling does is hide poor game design. You can make it obvious when there's a high level ...

Well actually, if you're going to wear the complete set, it doesn't matter what you wear out of Daedric or Dragon: you will easily hit the armor cap. However, it is a bit of a waste of a perk.

But if you aren't wearing a matching set etc, for example wearing Otar's mask, you will probably want ...

You can rename your weapons when you enchant them OP.

I renamed my Skyforge Steel Battleaxe to the Skyforge Iceaxe when I added a frost enchantment.

I would presume that daggers are the best pure DPS simply because they can stack more enchantments at a faster rate.

I'm going Battleaxe for my first playthrough though, I may switch to Greatswords later, but I just feel it fits my character better.

Other factors you didn't mention: Swords have ...

Yeah these would be my choice:

Imperial: +10 speech +5 one handed +5 heavy armor +5 block +5 light armor +5 archery

Dunmer: +10 Destruction +5 One handed +5 Archery +5 light armor +5 sneak +5 alteration

Redguard: +10 one handed +5 light armor +5 block +5 Archery +5 smithing +5 lockpicking

I'm ...

Some personal advice I have is don't put any points into weapon specific perks (axes/maces/swords etc), just put them into general one hand perks. That way you don't have to commit to your weapon type until late in the game, at which point you will have a good idea which weapons have better ...

I think with Skyrim it seems this way early on because there is such a huge difference between bandits and higher level stuff. I had it bumped up to Master and was wrecking Draugr etc, but then I went into a Vampire Lair and fought a dragon, both of which owned me, and I turned the difficulty back ...

Yeah sadly Bethesda didn't add nearly enough interface options in the game like widescreen/not widescreen, more readable fonts for SD TVs, not able to flip around third person, weird map movement etc. But the game is awesome so I forgive them. As Conzeq said, I imagine a mod will change this in the ...

Your race makes little difference at level 12. Keep in mind though, that Khajiit stat bonuses are designed for a stealth character. So take advantage of sneak attack criticals, poison, taking foes out from a distance etc. Honestly it sounds like you are either in too high a level area or you're just ...

I'd go dual wielding daggers, with a bow, and with light armor. Focus on Sneak, Enchantment, Illusion and Alchemy. Maybe Conjuration if you have perks left.

If I were you I might pick a High Elf, Redguard, Khajiit, Bosmer or Dunmer, although feel free to pick what you like, it makes little ...

You did get the 'answer is in the palm of your hands' hint right?

His name my name. He's a male Nord, heaviest build possible, short dark hair and a five-o'clock-shadow type of beard.

I'm using Battleaxes, Heavy Armor, Smithing, and tiny amounts of Archery/Restoration/Alteration.

I first put all my points into health (level 8), but now I've realized that I need ...

I've heard there's a way to turn the 3rd person animations off. Is this true? On Ps3. If so, where is it, I can't find it under settings or controls.

Secondly, just having some issues with the game. I'm playing on an SD tv, about ~30 inches or so, it works out okay. But the text is very difficult ...

It destroys Oblivion for all the right reasons: better art design, better voice acting, better animations, better world, better characters, better dungeons, better enemies, better combat, better leveling system, less scaling.

Maybe it's better than Morrowind, maybe it's worse. I don't think anyone ...

Yeah this would be a shame if it's true. I mean, take Nords. They're supposed to be okay at restoration magic, good with both armor types, block, etc. But if you had given the Nord skills (in skyrim) to the Redguards, maybe swapping one handed to +10 instead of two handed, I wouldn't have been ...

What's wrong with Link?

I don't want unicorns. Maybe Griffins/Chimera instead?

TLDR;

Haha!

Didn't read it all but seems pretty cool.

Demon's Souls... was exactly that. Very frustrating. But once you mastered it it was a rewarding experience. One of the best games I have ever play.
Games like this are very unforgiving and make for a great challenge.
What they don't do, is appeal to a large audience, unfortunately.

While I ...

Combat wise, I use Long Blade and Heavy armor generally, sometimes using shields.

Outside combat, I use magic for everything from levitating to opening locks to teleporting, to restoring attributes etc.

However, when I play through my mage and thief characters in the future I may change my mind.

I've gone with Wood Elves. They look better in Skyrim, but in previous games they were thieving cowards with annoying voices. And there was Fargoth.

Most of Ocarina of Time had almost perfect dungeons. I remember the Forest Temple particularly fondly.

A good dungeon should have (ideally): its own unique music, a variation of big open caverns and claustrophobic spaces, interesting, unique puzzles, a good backstory, unique loot, some kind of boss ...
