...but so is...yo momma.

Wait a minute: After 4 games with an interesting non-XP leveling system, they went *back* to boring experience points? Why did they do that?

"Azure Agony"? That level is a pain in the ass...

it was an ok game i played at hard but i missed the last secret level - the nameless city. i think the portal to enter it was under some bridge and there's lava below so i didn't even think to check

And this is why I don't talk to you. It's not even funny. Welcome back to my ignore list.

Actually, the main games have always had XP, but invisible XP - the skills give you XP, and the XP makes them level up. Eg. casting a fire spell improves your Destruction skills, but you only see the bar move up, however underneath it there's some kind of a number or percentage system that determines how much do you improve by using the skill.

In TESO you still have skills however they work a bit differently as you have skill trees, look them up, the system is quite complex. This is a simple explanation of how it works. :)

Well, now it's 14 dollars only for the base version, or you can wait for sales and get the Gold Edition with 4 DLC later this month.

I...wasn't even aware I was being ignored, but I apologize if I offended you somehow.
I do tend to be joke-y 90% of the time, and of course not everybody likes that. So be it.

wow so it happened! :P i myself am patiently waiting for the day you'll apologize to me too (^_^) your apologies mean SO MUCH to us! keep up the good work!
