Anyone else managed to convince a fps only gamer to play skyrim?

I have, but not the way i hoped for. He seemed to like the intro during helgan, but after that when the game slowed right down, it took a lot of convincing to get him to play it any further, but i managed to. Now that hes about 40 or so hours into the game, he's saying its definitely the best game he has ever played in his whole life. He spends all day playing it. But something i have noticed is that he flat out ignores the storyline, and pays absolutely zero attention to what anyone is saying. He keeps on skipping dialogue, and when he has to listen to 2 people talk, he's always jumping around doing stupid stuff, or casting spells at objects making them go flying around until those people are finished talking so he can continue the game.



I try to tell him that hes largely missing out on the game by doing this, and he says he does not care. It annoys me with how hes playing such a great game, but still missing out on it. Does anyone else think call of duty or some other generic shooter has really screwed with peoples way of thinking and making them like this?Anyone else managed to convince a fps only gamer to play skyrim?
Heck, if he's having fun he's having fun! You're both enjoying the game so why should it matter if he enjoys experiencing it in different ways from you?Anyone else managed to convince a fps only gamer to play skyrim?
Some FPS players may be skewed because they aren't playing for a storyline. Some COD players play just for the action, as that's why they bought the game in the first place, the gameplay that they love. Thus, they don't care much for the story, they just want to dive right into shooting people. So, when he plays Skyrim, he just wants to kill the enimies. He doesn't care for the story. That is the most exciting part of the game for him.



Although, I will not stereotype COD players and say they're all like that, cause not all of them are. Some pay attention to the story of the campaign in COD, and some also play other types of games, like RPGs, as well.Anyone else managed to convince a fps only gamer to play skyrim?
