This is one area where Skyrim is lacking in a great extent. I find items in the game have almost no descriptions. You find weapons, rings, amulets, spellbooks, all kinds of items and the only thing you get is a list with weight, damage -if applicable- and price. I am not saying that BGs, IWDs, Torment, where better games for it. The overall quality of skyrim and its excellence in so many other areas would make such a statement folly. I only want to say that i miss right clicking and reading those few lines with a history for the item i have just found.

I also miss the identification magic spell. It seems that there is no need for identfication of magical items in Skyrim. Do all PCs have it on automatic? :WTF:
How do you justify instant knowledge of function when you grab anything magical that you know nothing about? :WTF:

My fantasy story

 

"Man, in his discussions with other men about questions of religion, statecraft, geography, trade, has always reached a point in the discussion where it has seemed wise to reply to his opponent by disemboweling him or knocking his brains out."

 

My name is Thomas Hockenberry, Ph.D., and I think the "Ph.D." stands for "Pouring His Draft."

 

"The study of modern science today is being done by the brain of primitive man."

I like reading items' personal histories, so I guess I agree with you. Though I don't really care too much about actual identification...
