Why is it so hard to grasp that if the green bar is low, you miss a lot and should probably drink a potion to get it back up?

Harder than understanding that someone with fists lowers your stamina by hitting you.

It's cool how when people play video games they pretend that they are temporarily complete retards and can't figure out even the simplest things

Stamina is barely even at issue, weapon skill makes it irrelevant quickly. Just don't make a stupid character class that has only minor or misc skills for weapons.

edit: Also if it isn't on by default turn on "always use best attack". as much as I wish it were, Morrowind is not Ultima Underworld.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

It looked like it had promise at one point, but H1Z1 now looks like it's going to be poo poo. (If you haven't heard of it, it's SOE's attempt to make a better DayZ.)

H1Z1 appeared to have a real-money store built into it; for months, SOE's been promising to the press and player forums that the store would be cosmetic items only, and that they would not implement pay-to-win mechanics in the game, since that defeats the entire purpose of a game about scavenging and survival.

In a recent devblog, they quietly announced the addition of "airdrops" -- pay money to parachute in a backpack at your location with a randomly selected weapon, ammo, and survival gear in it. Bam, people can be lethal right from spawning if they want to pay for it. Of course, this is being used like mad by rich people, and completely defeats the theme of the game. There's a huge uproar about it; the Steam reviews have turned pure negative overnight, and Smedley went on twitter to offer refunds to anyone who's offended by the addition.

It is pretty funny, though, to watch people try to use an airdrop at their spawn point and promptly get rushed by 3-4 other newly spawned players hoping to steal the airdrop's contents.

I loved the Dwemer area in Skyrim that looked like a giant underwater cavern. I wish it had more stuff like that.

My only complaint about the Morrowind combat was that melee felt like rear end; there wasn't a good matchup between the swing/stab animations and where the actual "hit" point was. Magic and ranged weapons were ace, though, as long as you have a mod to automatically add arrows to bound bows.

the only problem with skyrim for me is that i am too stubborn to stop trying to climb over all the mountains on the geometry seams instead of just using the paths and adds a lot of time and frustration to the experience.

the warp through objects while holding a plate and putting buckets on people to rob them stuff was more than enough great fun for me.

The only good open world RPG I can think of in the vein of TES is New Vegas. I guess Skyrim uses something newer that's not directly "gamebryo" but New Vegas is still twice the game Skyrim is.

An expensive escort for you to play with, one would hope. Can't think of many other features that would justify that pricetag.
