My overworld immersion broke when I actually became good at the game and realised a single AoE DoT on a proper build is all you need for any questing content.
Honestly, once you start maxing out your combat stats, all immersion is ruined because the game becomes faceroll easy.

Thing is that once you actually know the game, it tends to lose some of that magic of exploring a brand new world and you focus more on building your char and less on appreciating the world during next playthroughs.
Being first person during quests helps me, and playing a character you have a backstory and personality developed for helps as well. Keeping all chats off, may also help, I used to do that when questing in other games so that I could focus on the quest and not chat that's going on in guilds. I'll probably do all of that for Vvardenfell quests.
There was a time I used to be very...thorough, in my quest to set the right mood for questing and immersion, I used to literally light scented candles, have lots of snacks and drinks nearby, and have the room I was in with relaxing lighting, no skype or chats anywhere accessible...and cleaned my room for some reason. It made questing more enjoyable. Xd

I get what you mean, but difficulty does affect immersion. The harder you try and the longer it takes you to do something, the more attention you end up paying and the more important everything seems. So it's just a little easier to be immersed in difficult content.Kiralyn2000 wrote: »Immersion
..is a mostly meaningless buzzword because it means different things to everyone.
(this thread, for example, with people relating "immersion" to how difficult a game is. Gotta say, that's a new one for me.)

If I do EP or AD zones I feel like a traitor because I was so attached to DC.

If they add Emotions or idle animations to NPCs, that would increase immersion quite much. Also Childrens, Lovers, Families, Homeless, Plaqued, Injured etc etc.WalksonGraves wrote: »This game has no immersion, just swimming on the surface.
This guy gets it, just like the zone design is like going from one artifically made place to another, but my idea would help a ton. Skyrim had more immersion than this game.
