What happened to game developers? I happily opened up an article from IGN with fantastic news about Skyrim, Turned out to be not so fantastic.
Athletics and Acrobatics skills removed and replaced with a sprint button, the eight character attributes replaced with "Health, Magicka and Stamina". The reasons being that you don't run around like and idiot trying to raise your skills and that the eight attributes still only raised the points of health, magicka and stamina. Really?
Strength let you carry more, Willpower increased Magicka recovery, there was even Luck.
At Elder Scrolls 8 they will have removed the skills and replaced them with runes or something similair that you have in your armor that you can't change. You upgrade these runes with gold.
At Elder Scrolls 9 it'll be a pure FPS being called RPG because you can change the color of your armor.
"Streamline" away, every game will start looking and behaving the same, atleast the "mainstream" games.
I bet that the Indie industry is the future of gaming lies.
