Elder Scrolls IV? disappointed

Yes after just 2 days playing it, I’m thinking to give it up and go back playing Everquest 2 instead. The game looks great, has great atmosphere, etc etc.

Is not a BAD game. But is a BAD RPG 🙂 I understand the XBOX owner enthusiasm since there aren’t any CRPG on consoles, but seriously, would you define a RPG a game with:

– impossibility to bash door opens (yes you have to be a thief to solve many quests)

– real-time combat without ANY strategy, block-hit block hit, cast some spells or just sneak and hit from behind (again, this is taken from thief 3)

-impossibility to have a party or be part of one

– unusual level progression! you basically improve skills as you use them, then every level you just get a bonus in the primary attributes. Pretty bad compared to Fallout leveling (with perks, etc) or even just standard AD&D leveling. When I earn a level here is like nothing happened!! 🙁

I could go on, but I think you got the idea. Oblivion? a great game, something like an adventure with rpg elements, but definitely not a classic RPG for windows.
