Lately, my apartment has been discussing a problem that's been nagging at us.
Skyrim is awesome. It's been out for a little over 20 days. Everybody in my apartment is playing it, except for the girl who has final exams coming up.
And it's remained constantly good. I'm at level 37 and I'm not running out of content. I think I've hit the point where the game's easy, but then I get annihilated by some creature I've never seen before. You think "ah I'll never have to worry about gold again", and then spend it all in one shopping trip. I keep finding fascinating locations, quests, and NPCs. In short, the game hasn't stopped being awesome.
So here's the problem:
what if it never stops being awesome?
what if we never get bored with it?
I'm remembering the people who have died while playing WoW or Starcraft or Halo 2. We could die this way!
Or on a less life threatening level: what if we never need to buy other video games now? The whole video game industry is in danger.
This is Skyrim's potentially biggest flaw: It's too good.
Randomly remembered this post.
I am now reinstalling Skyrim.
