Take a peek at Skyrim's Achievements photo

Do people still get pumped when they see Trophy/Achievement lists ahead of time? That used to be the norm, though I suspect enthusiasm has died down considerably in recent years. If you don't mind quest-name spoilers, the Achievements for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim might be worth looking over.

These largely seem to be the same objectives that Bethesda has always had us complete. Leveling, exploring, stealing -- that sort of thing. I do love it when open-ended games try to get you to tinker with mechanics you might otherwise avoid, like "Hard Worker: Chop wood, mine ore, and cook food."

Really, I just want to go around being a bastard to Skyrim's citizens. None of these seem to get in the way of that goal, so no complaints here.

So refreshing to have 100 percent, purely offline single player achievements. Seems like every game I've played recently has at least 300 points that require online and I have incomplete because of it. Would have been excited for the game regardless.

Also, I see that achievement for reaching level 50. If they are going to force me to level up for an achievement, I hope to high heavens they fix that auto scaling. I ended up finishing everything in oblivion at around level 5, because I was tired of the fact that leveling up would mean that a single scamp would take 20 minutes to deafeat.

I only ever beat about half of oblivion.
But Skyrim looks so polished and smooth that im very interested in playing it. I've been on a big RPG addiction for awhile.

So what?

Also, inferior textures. That is all.

That's not all. Mod support too. I played Oblivion a lot on Xbox 360, but thanks to mods, I played it even longer on my PC. I still play it today, as a matter of fact.

Not saying that consoles are inferior. I only played on consoles until the beginning of this year, but mod support is so, so sweet.

Mods are such a pain in the ass. You have to sort through so much shit to get to one decent one. Either the modders think they can tell a story (which they usually can't) or they think it's interesting to introduce balance breaking gear. Really the best case scenario for most mods is making textures look "better" or reskinning your characters but who gives a shit about that when you could actually be playing the expertly made game.

@Sean the only mod i really love for oblivion is the open cities mod. Only newer machines can really run it along with better textures, but the modders did change a lot and it makes the towns sooo much better.

Yeah, there's a lot of mods.

Yeah, many of them are dumb or poorly made.

Yeah, there's a small learning curve to implementing them.

These do not change the fact that modding is possible on the PC. It's fine if you don't personally care about modding your game. But to anybody who is actually interested in modding and knows how to have fun with it, simply having the option to do so is a huge deal. Modding generates infinite replayability and new content far beyond even what the game's developers had in mind. You can't disregard the mod scene when comparing the PC to console version of a game.

I'm a PC newbie, but I'm planning on making Skyrim my first full fledged (free Portal on Steam doesn't count) PC game, mostly due to the ability to mod.

the only reason i care about modding is huge ass bug fixes. Unofficial Oblivion Patch was a godsend for Oblivion. Bring on the patches, commuhnity!
