This is a very weird point of view: bethesda released a broken product on ps3...who else is to blame instead of the developers and the publisher?
With regards to Skyrim being the best game: absolutely not imho. The game is great, but the difficulty leveling is completely off and unbalanced. I did all major side story lines and my character ended up too powerful after about 80-100 hours put in. I wanted to play the main story line, but I just can run around and fireball all enemies away in a second...boooring. So boring that I stopped playing. My character is basically maxed in specs and items as well...so I quit the game. I came back to test the vampire dlc, but as a vamp you just get even stronger...
In this sense, the gamedesign of Skyrim is fundamentally broken imo and thus, such a game cannot win best game of the generation award.
It depends on the character though. My most fun and complete character ever is a vampire called Sarah Dandelion Cloveclaw. I turned her into a vampire at level 1, and she is level 57 now.
The Expert difficulty setting is challenging for her, and dragons, certain bosses and Forsworn Briars, for instance, kill her with a single hit or two -Briar heart warriors-.
In this case the key is that I don't like combat neither I did experiment with Blacksmithing, Enchanting and so on, because it's not my thing. She was meant as a healer / conjurer and my *armour* has no armour at all. (I use Dragon Hide when I truly need it)
I use the Archmage Robes, a mage hood, a mask, and some gloves. I complete a quest or so every time I play and I love playing this way.
Additionally, I've set the Mehrunes Razor dagger to her right hand because of it's chance to kill an enemy in one hit regardless of their health bar. And I also use Grand Healing in the left hand. A very functional configuration. :smile:
Sarah also possess the ability to regain her health once a day if her health bar goes below 10%, which is a very useful perk in some cases where I "forget" to use Grand Healing.
The result is that I find her to be a very fun and challenging character. I used to cast the Dremora Lords in combat a lot before, but I prefer to fight enemies myself with the Mehrunes Razor now, and I get some hits too during close combat, which increase my Light Armour skills.
I don't like Cookie cutter builds and there are many ways to play Skyrim.
Arwin, which three games are you talking about?
