Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up?

Elder Scrolls games but specifically Skyrim.
I have tried it multiple times but I just don’t understand how so many people can put so many hours into a game when an element you are going to be engaging in for a lot of your play through is one of the worst in the genre, the combat. It is floaty, imprecise and has zero feeling of impact. It is just horrible. I felt the same about Oblivion but Skyrim seems to be held in even higher regard.

The ragdoll physics still felt novel at the time. Nothin quite like headshotting a goblin and they go tumbling away from the force of your arrow

Elder Scrolls games by and large suck out of the box. The prolific mod community is what makes them worth buying / playing. I’ve got a few hundred hours in Skyrim and I’ve never actually finished the main storyline. Don’t know how it ends, don’t care.

Skyrim does have a lot of combat overhaul mods to make it feel like you want it to. Of course, ideally you shouldn’t have to, but the option is there at least.

Oh man, yeah the hit reg and combat physics in Bethesda games are awful. At least Morrowind had good RPG elements, I would rather have that DND style of combat than what Oblivion and Skyrim have done with theirs.

To be fair I never played the older games so I was more specifically referring to the new ones. At this point as well I think the older ones are too old to go back and try out for me having never played them and I doubt I’d get on with them without the nostalgia element.
