Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In the days after the official launch of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", posts about the game have occupied the major VR game discussion forums, and a large number of players have frantically discussed the content of the game.

At the beginning, it was only a relatively unique point, such as the chickens in Ximu Town, the lines of the guards, and the dragon language activities that have not been revealed by the players so far, what genres are powerful, and where are the tasks hidden.

But as players progress towards the game and gradually understand the background and ancient times of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", all players' attention gradually returns to the main storyline of the game.

In Ximu Town, a place that made countless players heartbroken, the hotel came into contact with Delphine, who are legendary blade fighters loyal to the Dragonborn.

After beheading a giant dragon that revived in the wild, the next step is to let the player sneak into the tube of the Thomo people to investigate the origin of the dragon's appearance.

From Solitude City to Rift City to Macarth City, the Dragonborn in the game traveled between the sky in their journey to find the truth of the dragon, and at the same time understood the reason for the recovery of the dragon.

That is, the return of the giant dragon symbolizes that Alduin, who destroyed the world, broke away from the seal and returned to destroy the world again, but because the protagonist is a dragonborn, there is still hope.

But Song Ren in the game didn't feel that way at all.

If there is anyone in the game that he hates the most, except for Mage Thalmo, who shouts, "You are just a dog, I am your master" as soon as they meet.

That's the Blades duo, especially the old man Isborn.

Of course, it's not because of the bug that the sewers of Rift Valley City did not open in the previous life. Compared with the various original bugs in the previous life "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim", the one developed by Nebula Games is completely eliminated.

What really made Song Ren feel disgusted with dogs was the performance of this old man.

With the progress of the plot, the appearance of the ancient dragon Alduin brought the Empire and Stormcloak together under the guidance of Greybeard, ready to temporarily sign a truce, but because of the interests of the Empire's General Tullius and Stormcloak leader Ulfric There was a deadlock at the negotiating table.

At this time, Isben stood up and made a deafening speech, which directly surprised Song Ren for a while, feeling that this old man was not an easy task, he must be a wise man.

It's not good to have a bad temper with the Delphine who is usually arrogant with the hotel.

But in the next task, it turned out that Song Ren thought too much, and the two guys were more irritating than the other.

Originally, he thought that this blade fighter was a loyal subordinate of the Dragonborn, especially in some book records, the blade fighter was a very powerful existence. The legend of the blade club also relies on the real blade fighters who have died in battle to protect them with their own sacrifices. down.

But Song Ren seriously suspected that the Somo people had made a mistake about these two goods. These two goods were simply cleaning the toilet in the Blade's Edge Club.

Can I enter the Dragonborn Sky Sanctuary without him? Without his Dragonborn, you, Isben, would have died in Rat Road, and the corpse would have stinks by this time!

But in the Throat of the World, they forced Song Ren to control the Dragonborn to kill the old dragon Paktunas, even though Paktunas was actually carrying countless crimes.

Once a minion of Alduin, he burned the earth with fire and killed countless people.

But in the game, at least at this moment, Paktunas is more like an old man who guides him, and he also teaches the player **** Alduin and how to limit the dragon's roar: Dragon Soul torn.

In contrast, the two toilet cleaners in the Blade's Edge Club would be much more annoying, and they were reluctant to say anything about the attitude of not killing Lao Long.

In addition to Stormcloak's boss Ulfric, Song Ren, like most players, had a much higher opinion of Stormcloak than the Empire at the beginning.

Because when he entered Helgen Fortress, the female captain who would behead him indiscriminately made him completely unacceptable.

But with the progress of the game's plot, especially after going to Windhelm and seeing more stories about Ulfric, Song Ren's views on this brother have completely changed.

Although the Empire has a lot of bad things, the head of this Stormcloak is completely different from what he thinks.

At first, Song Ren thought that this old man was the leader of the rebel army who was dissatisfied with the oppression of the empire, and that the empire was ready to rise up in the face of Thomer's weakness, loss of power and humiliation.

But in fact, this guy is purely a racist. According to the words of the soldiers of Windhelm, that is, except for the Nords, all other races are lowly existences.

Just like Song Ren, when wandering in the Skyrim Province, he experienced the local customs and customs. There are too many characters and things in the game that players can remember deeply.

There are more and more interesting points in the game, and many interesting stalks have also emerged in the player group.

Except for the guard's line: I was an adventurer like you, until I was shot in the knee.

In addition to the chicken **** in Ximu Town, there are also various characters with distinct personalities in the game.

The leader of the thieves guild in Rift Valley City, known by the players as a 'bright and aboveboard' good Mercer.

The only two members of the Blade's Edge Club, Delphine from 'Reasonable' and Isborn from 'Witty Talk'.

The Storm Army who believes in 'everyone is equal', and the 'Chest Martyr' Harja who has left countless romantic affairs.

Of course, the 'simple folk' Markas is indispensable, allowing players to experience what is called 'good law and order' in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

The stalks formed by these distinctive characters and characteristics have also become the indispensable game culture of "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim".

And compared to previous games, most players only play the main line of the game.

After getting through the main storyline of the game, unless it is a game with a multiplayer mode.

Otherwise, it will basically be closed, except that it will be opened occasionally, and basically there will be no repeat play.

Even if it includes open-world games like Red Dead Redemption.

The reason is also very simple, because these games give these players the feeling that the main storyline has been cleared, and there is not much content to attract them.

Except for some obsessive-compulsive disorders, the completion of the game must be brushed to 100% different, and many players simply follow the main line and cannot pick it up.

But The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a different game.

After the end of the main quest, it does not mean that the story of the Dragonborn has been completed.

In the entire Skyrim Province, there are countless tasks waiting for players to complete.

And there are some quests that are no smaller than the main quest, giving players a sense that the end of the main quest is just the beginning of the Dragonborn's life.
