I would have guessed you would be more interested in the story and development in games.
And I am. Which is why I really don’t see what everypony is freaking out about Skyrim for. Pony Revolution was infinitely better, and you hardly hear anypony mention it anymore.
I certainly haven’t finished all the major storylines yet, but none of the ones I’ve ran into in Skyrim were much to look at. Kill some guys, here’s some werewolves, some guys you never really knew every well die, obvious betrayal, obvious revenge.
The final fight in the Thieves Guild was pretty cool. Beyond that I’m mostly just interested in the mechanics.
Edit: I think part of the problem with Skyrim is that death is treated so insignificantly. Somepony died in a dragon attack? Who cares? Look! Bones! U mus’ B da drawginbohrn!
