Emil should have been a writer for fable, not the Elder Scrolls

Emil should have stuck with games journalism, and at this point be cooking the fries Alyssa Mercante bags.

So, it's finally happening. A week or so after the release of the Oblivion remaster and people are starting to finally notice and talk about the issues. Bugs performance issues and other problems with the game. I can't believe it took a week. I noticed it was UE5 slop right off. I guess the high from the nostalgia trip took a little time to wear off with this one.

To be fair to him, his claim to fame is the DB questline in Oblivion. I wonder if he is just better working at a smaller scale with tighter restrictions or he just got lucky. I know he has said some really braindead things but it might just be he just got promoted past his ideal station

My personal theory is that it's the only part of Emil's writing that was genuinely inspired on his part. He also oversaw the Arena questline too which hasn't got stellar writing. In interviews about it, he said he saw his version of the DB as some sort of perverted and evil Catholic Church; Emil really likes writing about or trying to incorporate themes of religion into his plots if he can. The most enthusiastic he got for Starfield (enough to make him get a tattoo) also pertained to that game's religious aspects (shit as they were). And Fallout 4's best outing writing-wise is when they introduced a cult (Children of Atom) for Far Harbour, the completely shit main story was devoid of religion otherwise. And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention he was also the lead writer for Fallout 3, which framed Revelation 21:6 from the New Testament in its opening and the game's original ending pushing you towards a self-sacrifice to save the 'world' tells us he has a boner for religious themes.

His sweet spot might be small-scale factions with some sort of theistic connection, because it's what tickles his brain the most, not dictating the main story and whatnot. Maybe we'd just get repeats of the Oblivion DB over and over but it'd likely be an improvement over a guy whose clearly not inspired by anything other than a quasi-religious angle. It'd be like getting Agatha Christie on the writing staff and telling her to write a space opera — it probably wouldn't work. And if she made the attempt, the main plot would play out suspiciously close to a murder-mystery story and not take full advantage of the setting she's writing it in. This is why Starfield's 2nd half also tackles the idea of a religion being created with the sole purpose of carrying out some ulterior purpose I.E. Sanctum Universum being made to encourage humanity to explore the stars to find McGuffins.

I think a lot of the Oblivion Dark Brotherhood is carried by the good quest design, the writing isn't really stellar and suffers in the 2nd half (not to mention the purification was kinda silly), and especially the ending where the destruction was extremely contrived. However, it is still infinitely better than the absolute travesty that was the Skyrim Dark Brotherhood.

The whodunit quest is a revelation especially coming from something like Skyrim.

Yeah he is. At one point I thought he was at least ok. But he is a massive faggot.

The only reason anyone dickrides Morrowind in Current Year+10 is because they're insecure about their e-penis and need to flex their nerd cred.

I'm sure it's a great game in its own right. But like New Vegas, one of my top 5 vidyas of all time, its greatness is sullied by a fanbase of insufferable arrogance and pretentiousness.

Why are Todd games so popular? Because they're fun. I know the concept of fun makes the basement dwellers snort and seethe as a slight to their delusions of superiority, but at the end of the day, people play Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 and 4 because they had a good time with them.

>"buh buh but NOOOOOOOOOO IT'STH NOT A REAL ARGPEEGEE YOU FILFEE CASUAL!"

I don't care, you neckbeard incel faggot nerds. You are the same losers who get assmad over the difference between dragons and wyverns. I hope jocks steal your inhaler and break your glasses.

ACKTCHUALLY,
Morrowind is a Todd game too. I know you're only doing this to farm trashcans, which is respectable, but you implied that Morrowind was a BESThesda game and not a Todd game and the retard in me couldn't let it slide.

Todd's role in Morrowind is severely overstated. He mostly did tard wrangling for the studio, like he does now, and wrote some of the Legion questline. If you want the actual project lead, look at Ken Rolston.

 

[Tablet County]

Can you imagine taking a time machine from 2006 to 2025 and then finding out everyone is playing the same shit but with better graphics?

Honestly? If more video games today were just the same shit with better graphics the industry wouldn't suck nearly as much.

 

[Incorrigible Bigotry]

Wait, that wasn't a joke? That's in the lore? Guy got so good at swords he split atoms? The fuck?

Elder Scrolls lore is full of fucking crazy shit that the games often fail to do justice. Just off the top of my head:

- the sun and stars not being big balls of plasma, but tears in the fabric of this dimension created by gods trying to escape Mundus
- Pelinal Whitestrake screaming the name of Emperor Reman Cyrodiil 2500 years before he was even born while chewing on the neck veins of some Ayleid aristocrat
- shit, just everything about Pelinal Whitestrake in general, like how he's a time-travelling cyborg... maybe
- the fact that the Empire had a space program and visited Nirn's moons (which are also the bisected corpse of the dead god Lorkhan, who did nothing wrong)
- the Empire for a time was ruled by a vampiric snake-man from Akavir, part of a race known as the Tsaesci (pronounced "say-es-see")
- Akavir being this entirely seperate continent with it's own people, cultures, history and conflicts that we never get to see directly

I could go on.

Don't forget that time a bunch of hardcore Imperial cultists who followed a gorilla prophet performed a ritual to remove all of the elven aspects of Akatosh, thereby creating a long period where linear time stopped existing.

My favorite part of the Marukhati is the fact that their commandments are all labeled "1" as the Selective decided they were all equally important and shouldn't be ranked in any manner.

The Exclusionary Mandates of Maruhkite Selection: All Are Equal
1: That the Supreme Spirit Akatosh is of unitary essence, as proven by the monolinearity of Time.
1: That Shezarr the missing sibling is Singularly Misplaced and therefore Doubly Venerated.
1: That the protean substrate that informs all denial of (1) is the Aldmeri Taint.
1: That the Prophet Most Simian demonstrated that monothought begets Proper-Life.
1: That the purpose of Proper-Life is the Expungement of the Taint.
1: That the Arc of Time provides the mortal theater for the Sacred Expungement.
1: That Akatosh is Time is Proper-Life is Taint-Death.

>shows a plebbit thread
>does not link it
Pathetic.

- shit, just everything about Pelinal Whitestrake in general, like how he's a time-travelling cyborg... maybe

pelinal is only known to plebbitors/secondaries because he is the gay cyborg since the gods had to intervene during his knife ear purge.
which sucks because he should have finished the fucking job, no altmer to ever coup the empire.

I’m conflicted. I made a imperial female, started with red eyes. They are the dark elf or elf of any kind eyes. It seems like the red eyes were meant for dark elf’s, but I seen other elf’s with red eyes. I picked them because they looked like vampire eyes. But the vampire guy you meet in the dark brotherhood he has yellow eyes. My eyes turned yellow instead of red when I turned into a vampire. I have a save game right before I turned into a vampire and turned it off after I became one. I like the red eyes better than the yellow eyes! But I gave my imperial red elf eyes because I wanted to become a vampire! What should I do? Just keep the red eyes or be a vampire with yellow eyes? My brain!

this is insane to me! On Skyrim, if you become a vampire you get cool glowing red eyes. On Morrowind you get white eyes if you become a vampire. on original oblivion your eyes stay the same if you become a vampire. But on oblivion remaster your eyes become yellow! Instead of red! My brain does not comprehend!

You're suppose to look normal if you feed often and unlike other vampire lore the more you go without feeding the more your vampiric power and features grow. Though vampires are different in every game so idk bethesda is not a serious dev with serious writers. I sort of stopped caring after morrowind as the dragonbreak was already bullshit.

 

[Meriasek]

They might have French-ish names but they’re clearly supposed to be English/Irish/Welsh/Scottish types AKA Britons.

So, uh, Bretons. The Celts of the Bretagne.

/edit:
Also, Kirkbride lore is hilarious. Too bad they stopped taking acid at Bethesda.

>"OBLIVION REMUSTARD IS BAD ACTUALLY? END OF GAMING??? #AD"
It's just so tiring. Bro it takes 40 hours to 100%. It was less than $90. Move on to that french persona clone if you wanna force political discourse about the newest game. Oblivion has to be the most boring game to try to make a clickbait video out of.
