Can I build a castle with wood obtained by punching trees? If I push over that big arch that Steve visited, does it create huge waves? I can push it over, right? Cus I want to. Can I make a wing suit and jump off a really high mountain, then glide into underground caves, splash through a waterfall and land on the back of a white stag? Can I persuade everyone on the whole continent to follow me, then walk into a big lake and see who can hold their breath the longest? `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Ten minutes is more than long enough to say yes seven times. Why are you ignoring me, bitch!? :@ `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

You seem to be misunderstanding the following things: 1. The English language (and human language in general) 2. What a simulation is "let you do whatever you want" is contextualised by "They simulate a fantasy world". For example. If I say: "Here, take these keys, use my house for a week, you can do whatever you like". Do you take that to mean that you can become a tiger? Or destroy the moon with the power of your mind? No, you don't, unless you're severely mentally ill. You realise that the possibilities are limited by the terms of the premise. You realise that I am saying "you can do anything which physics and other restraints will allow - I am not imbuing you with superhuman power, I am merely indicating a degree of freedom". Similarly when saying someone can do "anything they like" within a simulation, it goes without saying that that is bounded by what is possible with in the simulation. A simulation where you could do, in the way you're reading it, "anything you like" is inherently impossible (what if 'I would like' to both do X and not do X simultaneously?). Your reading makes 'you can do anything you like' meaningless in all usages. And given that it's a fairly common construction either you or the entire of humanity for most of its existence is wrong. Statistically, your chances of being right here are slim. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

That was a rubbish reply. I'm not playing Skyrim now. :@ When can I pick up the keys? `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Will you become a tiger and/or destroy the moon with the power of your mind? If not, whenever you like (<-- yes, I mean that quite literally.

Ah, thanks for outlining the differences.

I'd like to say I'd be able to play Skyrim and enjoy it, but I just don't think I've got the time at the moment, possibly 1-2 hours on some evenings and sunday morning are all I've got for gaming.

If it's as in depth as people are saying I don't think I'll get much continuity of plot/storyline between my disparate gaming sessions. :C

Aye it's... a hell of a time sink. I'm maybe... 40 or 50 hours in and I've really genuinely not scratched the surface of anything yet. I'm still just finding my way around. It really does require obsessive play. Having said that, I don't know that it wouldn't be enjoyable in 2 hour snatches here and there, it may well be. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

I was going to say that if it's anything like Morrowind, you can quite happy go on for half an hour and 'potter' - go around selling stuff you don't need, topping up your equipment, doing "small" quests, collecting ingredients...
