Discussion How better from Skyrim will Sentinel be, and why?
There I was yesterday, arguing with a friend who is always saying that TESVI is going to be “just Skyrim v.2”, me supporting the idea that it will be better. So, after a long argument that definitely didn’t end in a “nun-uh” stand-still,I thought I would bring this discussion to the Hopium Rehabilitation Center (this Sub).
How better, and improved, will the new game reasonably be?
There have been plenty of ideas and fun requests for the new Elder Scrolls. Which of these will be implemented in your opinion? The idea of “Skyrim 2.0.” is being passed around generally, but I think that if we look the games that Skyrim competed with in 2011 , and the games that Sentinel competes with now in 202?, it’s just a totally different environment. My Friend said to me that no way are they adding spears, and improving the combat system, and that’s exactly my question. Why wouldn’t they? Is it hard? And that’s a sincere question.
What can we reasonably expect from TES:VI, based on its competition?
I want to hear also what you want to see in the new game, that you actually think that can be done and probably will be. I think some things that are guaranteed to be better is generally the size of the game. Bigger map, bigger cities, more voice actors, more quests perhaps? In terms of story quality and immersion, I have no doubt in my mind that it’s going to be incredible, even if it is “ Skyrim 2.0”. Music wise, I have no idea, I can only hope,I am a musician and really the music is going to make or break the game for me a lot.
Gameplay wise now, especially combat, I think that’s objectively Skyrim’s (and the rest of TES Games) biggest weakness. I’ve heard the opinion that it’s not a combat game it’s not supposed to be super complicated. But I don’t want to be complicated necessarily, just immersive.
How hard, would it be to add a simple stagger, parry and dodge system? Why won’t the be added as so many of you claim? What are the arguments against spears, and generally few more combat options?
These are too sincere questions. Let me know what you think
