Re: Skyrim
I think a lot of us are saying pretty much the same thing but using slightly different language! I totally agree that the cutscreen story telling device has no place in games - games are not films and need to be treated as a medium in their own right. Close-ups in particular wind me up no end. A clo...
Re: Skyrim
I love how the first thing people discuss on these forums when a new game is out is NOT graphics. Seriously, I hate those people who judge a game solely by its looks. Hehe, if that's what you want :) The color palette has the same problem as MW3, lots of brown ;) At least it's a step up from Orange...

Re: Some new high efficiency recipes
It makes sense too. If you tear a log apart or split it with an axe, you end up with a lot of waste that isn't useful for anything but kindling. Using a saw to make clean cuts you get a lot more useful wood out of that same log. So having thought about it I really like the idea of moulding replacin...
Re: Skyrim
Games are such a diverse medium that there is room for both ways of thinking - there are plenty of great games with no real storyline - they rely solely on their gameplay and there are games with a great storyline but uninspired gameplay. It just depends what hits your switches at the time I guess! ...

Re: A Reason to grow more crops
I like the idea of encouraging the player to use more food sources as there are so many!
A simple way of achieving this would be to reduce the "satisfaction" each food gives you every time you use it, and simultaneously increase the others.

Re: BTW Pure Mods
I'd add Better Ore Distribution to the list too. It clumps all the ore into veins - this means that resources are tricky to find but when you find them, you build a proper mine at the site to extract them. I enjoy the extra challenge of finding the ores, it forces you out and about, exploring all th...

Re: Power the cake... and eat the donuts.
Doesn't eating food which would overfill your hunger bar (e.g eating pork when you have only half a hunger icon empty, it is virtually full) extend the time before it starts to deplete again? In which case this would add game function by allowing you to maintain a full bar without having to wait unt...

In a furnace, when your first plank/coal/what have you finishes burning and another begins to burn, if you're in the middle of smelting an item, will you lose your progress? No. Actually yes, you do lose all your progress. Also, just use 9 logs - I've never had a problem and you get to extinguish m...

There are several reasons people are against it. 1) Too many powerful weapons in the modded game already. We already have two ranged weapons. One is instant fire, one charges. One is strong, one is weaker. One fires close with a pronounced arc, one fires far with a flatter arc. To add a third ranged...
