[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 252883, member: 4106"] So far I've played Skyrim, and not Fallout or Doom. I suppose I will dive into Fallout tonight. Okay, first off, it's very pretty, but I just get the feeling Zen would love me to be playing with a moving camera instead of the 1w static camera in portrait mode. It all runs very smoothly in 4K DSR sampled down to 1080x1920 though, rock-solid 60fps. Though DSR does mess with the table UI somewhat. My overall impression of the game is... repetitive, and frustrating. Repetitive because every mode or quest is pretty much some variation of "shoot the flashing shots, then kill the bad guy" (often multiple times). Frustrating because the main story quests have to be restarted from the beginning if you fail them, but at least the ability to save progress from game to game makes it less annoying. As for the constant interruptions to switch weapons (run out of arrows!), or level up, or open chests... geez, you think a grace period when un-pausing might be nice? It may be a Zen thing that I as a total newbie need to get used to, but it ain't fun having the game decide to stop and throw you into a dialog when you know the ball is headed toward a flipper. I'm also wondering what the heck the point of collecting all that stuff is. I can't do anything with it. I can't sell it; I've yet to play long enough to come across a town where I can sell it! (Contrary to Skyrim itself, where if you're following the "expected" path through the main quest, you come across a village and a major city very early on.) Then there's the audio on one of the quests, which grated me no end. Wouldn't annoy someone not familiar with Skyrim, but I replayed this same quest enough times to be shouting at the screen. Three quotes in particular: "[b]The[/b] High Hrothgar" - no, it's just "High Hrothgar", no "The". Aargh. "... your shouts or Thu'um..." - no, the correct translation of "Thu'um" is "Voice" (though as with all such things in the Dragon tongue, there's much more nuance to the notion of "Thu'um" than can be conveyed simply by the word "Voice"). "... learn your new Thu'um ..." - no, "Thu'um" or "Voice" is the ability to Shout words of power in the Dragon tongue; and collectively the words of power are referred to as "Shouts", so it should be "... learn your new Shouts ..." or "... learn your new Words of Power ...". Yes I'm a fanboy and unashamedly so ;) [/QUOTE]
