The real dumbing down in the conversion from PC to console is the aspect we used to expect from the Elder Scrolls: pixelated nude people
ES 1: Check.
ES 2: Check and double check. The temple of Dibella is creepy.
ES 3: Nope. Though there was one truly disturbing bar with dancing mannequins hehe.
ES 4: Doubt it.
No big loss hehe. In ES 2 that was the creepiest thing because they were 2D and so were always looking at you.
And yeah, one of the devs was saying that they noticed a lot of console players being confused that they couldn't operate the shield in MW. It's all about expectations rather than limitations.
