It is Friday, it is a very slow day at work and I am extremely bored. I guess it is time for me to write another blog, which in all honesty I am not a blogger, but when you are bored you can become anything! I had the luxury of being able to take a few days off work and fly home, which does not happen as often as I like anymore. I feel I spend more time on a plane then actually doing anything, but I got home nonetheless.
One of my greatest guilt in gaming history is that I never finished Skyrim. I absolutely love the game, and I quite frankly obsessed over it for quite some time, but I never actually finished the game. I currently have about 198 hours on it and just started the "main mission." I think subconsciously the main reason why I didn't finish the game is due to my true love for it. I know there are a lot of things to do after you finish, but when it is truly "over" I think I would feel more depression than joy. I game I have obsessed over, put countless hours into, and was devastated when my follower just vanished to never be seen again, but yet I searched the lands and the tombs to find out if they were dead or just lost, this is a lot of dedication. I know there are two expansion packs out, which I will end up getting once I finish the main quest, but will those two expansions fill the void? I just don't know.
Elder Scrolls Online's beta is just around the corner. I feel a little underwhelmed for this game. My biggest fear is that this online game may prevent another vast single player campaign. If this does happen, I don't know if there is a game out there that will satisfy my adventure, my thirst for exploration and getting lost in an amazing world. Next gen seems just around the corner and I can only imagine what can be done next, but will a single player Elder Scrolls actually happen again? If it does, will it be five years away? Possibly longer? By then I will be five years older, will I have time and the same love for games to enjoy it?
I don't know what is next, but I am hoping for something big when it comes to Elder Scrolls. Here is to hoping for an even bigger work, more great quests, and amazing atmosphere with astonishing music!
