Hey

Long time no see everyone

Ohey. It's that kid. Funny you come around now. I'll probably be able to start playing later today or tomorrow.

So what's up?

My motherboard is fried. My dad is gonna help me install the new one when he gets back from work. That'll be between 1-2 hours, probably. Just kick some ass for me.

I've been playing Skyrim again recently whilst waiting on friends to get on/ques to match me up or any other event in League that requires time to get going. Anyone played the Dawnguard DLC? Is it worth it Y/N?

I haven't seen the full list of things added in Dawnguard, but I'm going to go with no.

I only have about 50 hours in Skyrim, but I'm pretty much bored.
I don't know what it is about the game. I just don't feel like it has much replay value.
Sure, you can start a new character, with new skill specs and playstyle, but the overall experience remains the same.

A game that is really worth playing is Diablo III.
Even though most people would argue that it's a terrible game compared to D2, but I think it's fantastic.

Even though Diablo is considerably more linear than Skyrim, it has more variety in its loot, dungeons, monsters, etc.
The only thing it really falls behind on are the immersion and story, but that's a given when you compare anything to a Bethesda game.

Gotta say I was not impressed with D2 or D3. It's pretty, but the game is about as immersive as watching clay figurines fight, and without friends, killing the game's enemies is about as fun as playing League with only minions. Can't say I liked the dungeons either; seeing as they were just randomized platform for you to just kind of mindlessly loll about in, and the treasures you get rarely feel meaningful, especially since you'll probably just get a better pair of pants in the next hour in.

Skyrim... has similar problems, with boring treasures and bland, one-track enemies, but the game is so damn immersive that exploring becomes it's own reward, and that I like tremendously. It has its boring points, too, though. And stupid parts. Like crouching in the middle of a hall full of a lord and his guards so I can pickpocket the clothes off his oblivious and strangely always hot sorceress. Or bursting into a merchant's bedchamber while killing his mercenaries, only to have that merchant turn to either an invisible bystander or the voices in his head and say "I'll bet on the big one!". Or Lydia.

So... now that we've hit 30 pages, is someone going to make a new one or are we just going to loiter til a mod boots us out?

The lack of creative name is why I'm holding out on making a new thread, chief.

I'm just not gifted with wit. D:

Lol wasn't asleep just wasn't paying attention . Keep postin' guys .
