- The combat engine is SHIT. I'll have the stick pegged at the enemy(s) but the stupid fucking guy is thrashing around in the totally opposite direction like a blindfolded Mexican kid flailing at a pinata. If you do get him to swing in the right direction visually you are almost never making contact but the sound effects tell a different story. And then you're dead. Really fucking nice.

-The unmarked indistinguishable buildings in the towns are SHIT. I don't care how many times I go back there. I can never remember which is a house, bar, merchant, or hotel. And there's an endless train of owned beds nobody is sleeping in. Fuck.

-Traversing the mountains is SHIT. The spots where it looks like you can go up you can't, and the spots where it appears to have a incline of close to 90 degrees you can just waltz on up. And then there's the other 80% of the time when you can't visually tell what the fuck is going on with the graphics smashed up against the screen. I take that back. That's 90% of the time.

-The navigational bar at the top is SHIT and having to exit the main game screen to see the map is SHIT which you have to do frequently because, like I said, the navigation bar is SHIT. Then there's bouncing between the region map and the local map. Kill me. I had my aim tight on the quest icon on the navigation bar in attempt to secure the dragon's ankle bone trinket which landed me in a dungeon cave which took me forever to complete because the combat engine is SHIT but when I emerged out the other end I still didn't have the dragon's ankle bone trinket. What did the map tell me? It told me it should be there. So like an asshole I ran through the same 16 mile long dungeon cave 3 times before I just threw my controller and went to go look at some porn. Not even George W. Bush can be fooled that many times. The piece of shit.

-The quest system is SHIT. I just told you why.

But thank christ there's like 6,000 quests because the only way to complete any of them is to accept them all and complete them by blind luck wandering around aimlessly.

If there was ever a time on this forum for you to use the face I think that would be it.

1. if you suck at the combat system then you must suck at pretty much every first-person game...the combat system is pretty easy...

2. Um, every store is marked with a sign And besides, when you look at a door it shows on the screen where the door leads to (e.g. "The Bannered Mare")

3. You're right - there are times where you can't walk up 70 degree inclines...I'm not sure what you mean by the graphics being "smashed up against the screen"

4. Wow, you really suck at this game...

- My followers are just dumb, they keep running in front of me in tight hallway battles while I'm casting spells, and before you know it they're permanently dead.

- Just like Fallout, it's stupid hard to find merchants with enough cash to buy half my loot.

- There's almost TOO many quests. Hard to finish one without having 20 more thrown at you along the way that are all more tempting than the one you're working on. I'm almost afraid to talk to anyone because they're going to give me more quests at this point.


Really fun though, the new leveling system is awesome, and the dungeons are all nice and unique this time around. Great stories too.

For me it doesn't get much better then the BioShock games. Thoughts?

I thought the first one was great actually. The story was really, really good, gameplay was really good, and graphics were really good. Bioshock 2 was really good too, though, while it had more "wow" moments than the first one, I actually thought the first one's story was a lot better and less predictable.
