Yes, technically you would be, even if not a very good one.
 
The Lighthouse is a bad movie and audiences were just pretending they liked it.

So let us try this one more time, feel free to post below opinions that you think are unpopular, whether they are related to video games, anime, tv shows, whatever. Discussions must be kept civil. People that can't handle themselves will be warned for the appropriate rule broken and not allowed to continue to post in this thread.

I will start:
  • I think root beer is disgusting, but a lot of people I know drink it. Particularly the AW root beer brand. I did learn I liked their cream soda though.

I don't know what makes people think The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt can rival Skyrim. It can't. That game is basically War-Induced PTSD having a child with Resident Evil Without Guns.

Gameplay is fun. Combat is fun. Story is interesting, and so is the way the game narrates the story. But compare all of that to living in Fourth Era 430 in the province of Skyrim and milking your goat Hilda for the family's daily milk, having a cup of wine with the house bodyguard Argis the Bulwark while your spouse teaches your two kids how to brew potions and then you spar with Lydia outside to keep your combat skills sharp, knowing you can do all this all day for literally weeks because no annoying dragon can break through the walls of your great city, Markarth, with its extremely thick stone walls and dwemer metal gates. And being rich enough to sustain the family and friends for two years of living expenses because you're an accomplished adventurer and *Dragonborn* who accumulated so much wealth from your travels and conquests.

... Meanwhile, Geralt just got ambushed by drunken idiots who failed to realize the guy they are attacking contributes to the safety of the town because he's a witcher who fights monsters who are trying to eat them.

Yeah... I think it's obvious which is the better game. lmao.

Just my opinion.

The Witcher is a good game, but I do still prefer Skyrim.
 
But Skyrim is fundamentally so... Sparse. Scenery wise it's really good because if you're not trying to emulate mainland Europe at all and go high-fantasy the way Elder Scrolls does it literally doesn't matter. Where as Witcher is attentive to the fact that, hey: people got to live here too.

Plus it's not as though Skyrim's bandits are smarter than Witcher's highwaymen. Both are incredibly stupid cannon fodder type enemies. The only difference is that Skyrim scales enemies to the player level which honestly makes the game so much more annoying if you can't just abolish annoying enemies put there for you to level up on in the early game.

Honestly, Skyrim feeling as barren as it does could have very well been a hardware issue. For its time it was groundbreaking and an incredibly visually attractive game, but by today's standards there is a lot missing.

Barren in not so much a physical terrain aspect but in terms of content and depth. Fallout New Vegas released the year previous and while it's as physically barren in parts as Skyrim it also realizes what is there very complete. It also realizes, unlike Skyrim the mutual incompatibility of its parts.

Where Skyrim is made under the Todd Howard philosophy of, "I was president of the highschool chess team, debate team, DnD team, cheer team, and ten thousand nerd clubs; so can the Dragonborn", New Vegas goes "what? Of course not."

But to also refocus on Skyrim vs Witcher 3 it's very much worth pointing out that both games actually take place in settings very much the same. The province of Skyrim is in a state of civil war, The Empire as a whole is under military occupation by the High Elves, there is a literal race war in the West of the province; The Northern Realms in Witcher are being invaded by the Empire Nilfgaard, Temeria is fully subjugated by the Empire. Normal civil order is suspended under the extreme circumstances of either setting. But, narratively, the extreme circumstances of Skyrim aren't realized. Which also contributed to the barren nature of the game and its writing. You could feasibly write the Imperial-High Elf War out of the game, and the civil war in Skyrim, and make it just about fighting dragons and it would be the same game. No one would be behaving any differently. There might just be 75% less bandits, but 90% of all enemies in Skyrim are just Draugr and Weird Little Cave Guys anyways

I recently had someone comment to me that skyrim was "boring". I was like.... wtf? That game has so much to do. And if you get mods... omg, it suddenly becomes worlds better even if you just go around being a murder hobo.

I asked what kind of games they liked, and they rambled off with some titles I didnt recognize (which isn't saying much, tbh) but i do remember them being excited about a DBZ game and CoD. I dont know much about DBZ, but to me Call of Duty is pretty low on my interests. So, obviously, we are different kind of gamers.

Besides, the cake is a lie.

See, I love sweets, but I'm not about cake or pie (though I love pumpkin pie, so that one gets a pass!). Both are just too dry for me.

You've never had an actually good cake or pie before then, I would think. XD Make some at home and they're perfectly moist- especially fruit pies, if you don't dislike them, and fudge cakes the same.

Everyone says this and I assure you I have. I just don't like it.
