Why does there have to be entire threads/journal posts, and soon to be news posts dedicated to it, is it really that special?Why does there have to be an entire thread about Minecraft?
The thing with games like Fallout / The Elder Scrolls is the freedom element. Your character is unique in that you level up the skills you use most. I'm playing as an archer and sneaking around a lot and through continued practice I can now pretty much snipe anything and get a 1 hit kill.
There is also the crafting side of things. I'm currently wearing some leather armour which I have kept working on to the point where it is now tougher than some of the steel stuff I come across. The best part is, it is entirely my work. I killed a sabre-tooth tiger and skinned it's hide, I turned the hide to leather in the next village and then crafted some armour. Whenever I get a new hide, I reinforce it.
In other news, I am a huge nerd and I love it.
I would play it, but I haven't even played any other elder scrolls games....so?
