No mounted combat is such a ******** dumb idea. Even Two Worlds had ******** mounted combat even if it was absolutely awful. There's no damn point in horses without it.
The Road goes ever on and on
    Down from the door where it began.
    Now far ahead the Road has gone,
    And I must follow, if I can,
    Pursuing it with eager feet,
    Until it joins some larger way
    Where many paths and errands meet.
    And whither then? I cannot say.

I've been over this. There is a point to horses without horse combat... Its called riding them.


Anyway, you will be able to get married

I love the friend idea and I'll probably get married so I have a punching bag.

Yeah, but because I'm an equipment-selling medieval magnet, I have to kill bandits I ride past. It's much easier when I don't have to move 10 metres away, dismount and then kill them.

I like the option of being married, to be honest. As long as it's implemented properly, it could offer some interesting quests for the Dynamic Quest system, and could help immersion. Again, as long as it's implemented properly. If it turns out to be a gimmick, then :x.
I can picture my future now. Itinerant organist, roaming the wilds of Canada with a number of horse and hunting with bow and arrow. I travel between cities, give a concert and take whatever pay to buy essential supplies. Then I move on, leaving behind a legend.

Wait. So you can torture children AND beat your spouse?

AWESOME.
"When the castle falls, all those inside will be put to the sword. Your herds will be butchered, your godswood will be felled, your keeps and towers will burn. I'll pull your walls down, and divert the Tumblestone over the ruins. By the time I'm done no man will ever know that a castle once stood here." Jaime got to his feet. "Your wife may whelp before that. You'll want your child, I expect. I'll send him to you when he's born. With a trebuchet."

So Todd apparently suffers from the same delusion as Peter Molyneux that players value one random NPC with no personality over another. Going through this pre-release hype is kinda like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
I don't see you complaining about Mount and Blade.
He is super-witty.
Sleeping just for the sake of sleep isn't sufficient to warrant sleeping.

Go **** yourself. Seriously. Every single time I've seen you post in OG, it's been to criticize, in an absolutely self righteous way, a subjective feature. "Oh that sucks because I don't like it." "Oh that's not cool, NO ONE will like that." "Haha, you don't know what good gaming is, I do!"

**** you. **** you with a thousand blazing poles.

As long as they do it more Bioware-ish and less Fable-ish, I like it.
80% of the shots you post are of scores or naked men.
OH!  I get it!  He's trying to tell us he wants to score with naked men!

Well, in Fable it was kinda tongue-in-cheek. Skyrim will probably take the serious approach.

He has a point with the pre-release hype though. It's hilarious to see.

Not so much with the not "caring".
Even though I wouldn't call it caring. But preferring one character over another happens often enough and for more than game related reasons. At least for me.

Of course it happens. You'd have to be a moron to think devs would make differing characters for no ******** reason. Devs are gamers too, most of the time.

Newsflash: The purpose of games is to provide fun. What is and isn't fun is an inherently subjective question, ie. everything about games aside from technical parameters is completely subjective.

Being a gamer is no guarantee of being a good game developer. Otherwise there would be no bad games, and frankly I think the inclusion of marriage in Skyrim is a monumentally bad decision. Even if they do it really well and the characters are believable and fleshed out, it's still not going to fit into the game, at least judging by what we've seen of it so far. They're promoting it as a hack and slash game where you play a legendary dragonslayer, not a viking dating sim. My guess is that it's going to end up being one of those rarely used gimmicky features with no depth that you use once, go "huh, neat", and then get back to the monster killing.

Although you seemed to claim that nobody would ever find it fun, simply because you didn't.
