How will you play?

Vrek · Post by **Vrek** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 7:47 pm

More to the point, when you drop into whatever prison your in at the beginning, how will you set out? Fast travel everywhere to do the main quests. Do a guild? Or just walk through the wilderness. And what do you think of fast travel?

For me, I feel like it ruins me feeling IN the game. If I'm bored of the landscape, then yeah I'll skip. But a whole new world? Nah.
I'm definitely just gonna do the main quest without fast traveling. I wanna learn the new world!

I can't vote for some reason. But what I'll do is this: Whatever my character would do in the given situation. In other words: RP my butt off!

I shall embark immediately to find Sweet Rolls.

Odd. Zee Poll IS broke! And I can't fix it. ><

Sweet rolls are important. Watch out though, a childhood rival WILL try to take it. (Learned from Morrowind/Fallout.)

You just made me realize a little fallout easter egg

I usually have an eye for these things but that one had slipped past it. Touche

Goof off and not fast travel at all. Just see the world. Make a character, and do whatever I want to when I'm playing. Only on my 20th playthrough will I use fast travel.

Never thought about it 'til I saw the poll,but doing the main quest without fast travel,first time,seems a good idea. Think I'll do that.

theo1170 · Post by **theo1170** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:25 pm

all of the options given, I will probably use fast travel though.

Vrek · Post by **Vrek** » Sun Mar 27, 2011 8:33 pm

Anytime Mars. Anytime.

Something about doing the main quest first feels right. I didn't do it that way in Oblivion and I wish I had. And g0oing back to play Morrowind I did. Plus, I am way excited to see all the new stuff!

I think I'm going to do everything at the same time without fast traveling.

I will most likely end up doing main quest with fast travel, although I will try not to.

Im going to do everything

As soon as I leave our inevitable prison I will start roleplaying straight away, thieving, stalking, killing... My usual playstyle. Coupled with alot of exploring the nooks and crannys around the world usually stumbling upon something interesting.

Every now and then I'll do a small bit of the main quest, and I'd it's anything like oblivion with the brotherhood coming to you after you murder someone I'll be following that questline quite early.

I just want to get ingame to "play" it tbh...

I will be RPing.

Mattbott · Post by **Mattbott** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 12:38 pm

i usually don't fast travel until i've opened up a lot of the map, but i dont see the choice to use it as 'anti immersive' or 'anti rpg' in any way whatsoever

actually, one thing i'd like to know about people's playing styles for skyrim , is how will you deal with the dragon breath/cold weather thing? It'll be a land of extremes, Nords will presumably be cold proof and Dunmer are 75% fire proof, so these two races seem to be better suited to what we know about Skyrim, but will this affect the way you make your charcters?

Revenant · Post by **Revenant** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:11 pm

I'll probablly start out with a few guild quests, and general exploring around before I get to the main quest
I like to get associated with the lay of the land before I get into the serious business

As for fast travel - I'll use it once I've been to the major areas - but my first trips to new cities I'll go without I think

It depends on if they have hand to hand or not. If they do, then I'll be interested in making Sabretooth(Nord) and Hulk(Orc) if they have any kind of regeneration power, and if I get it for the computer and am allowed to cheat, then Superman(Possibly an Imperial?).

If not, I'll be making my Dunmer(the same character from Oblivion, since he's a Vampire), and, I dunno, fast travel I'll use as travel between towns becomes more and more repetitive. Especially if we don't have any kind of mounts.

I usually go on with the main quest first, but after im done with that I make a few new characters and start getting money as im leveling up, and do every quest possible. I couldn't really get interested in exploring oblivion. (I did in shivering isles though) Everything in oblivion just looked the same..

comparing oblivion to morrowind in my opinion, oblivion is much more fun to explore than morrowind. EVERYTHING looked the same in morrowind.

Vendetta · Post by **Vendetta** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 7:33 am

I'm nit comparing it to morrowind at all... I like oblivion better. I keep trying to push myself to get through morrowind but I find the game boring

I_am_one · Post by **I_am_one** » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:34 am

I'm going to roleplay while doing the main quest (Doing the main quest, while doing a few side quests here or there). Since I'm roleplaying, no fast travel.

I'll head to the nearest major city and check out the place. Do a little shopping, see what kiind of mischeif I can get up to and what the guilds are like.

If you watch the trailer you may notice that the character isn't affected by the dragon flames. Dovahkin are immune to them I think, but anyway it is magic fire not physical fire so may be treated differently.

Chances are we won't get frost damage from standing in snow so we don't really need to worry about that either.
