Yeah, it's pretty amazing. I don't think I've played Morrowind since maybe 2005 so I thought OpenMW was a standard fanmade script extender or another similar utility, but this is a brand new engine. Some amazing things are happening here and it's all much more interesting than whatever Bethesda is actually cooking
We'll never get another elf focused game because the Skyrim High Elves were literally neo-nazis and there's no way in hell they'd be allowed to do that again by Microsoft HQ. Doesn't focus group test very well, and the pink haired twinks they hire as pets to show off to each other would lose their shit if asked to write race supremacists with an ethnostate.
Actually Bethesda not ruining a thing you like is a good thing. Do you really want Valenwood: Emil edition? Hammerfell is the perfect sacrifice.
Not only Emil written but also written by the danger-haired ogre looking broads they have working there. Every Bosmer male would be a twink and all the women would be strong wahman. They'd all be gay, of course. The Silvenar would also be a tranny.
I swear too many of you have an unnessecary hate boner for Bethesda, Emil probably won’t even be writing the next game
Why? He’s only become more and more influential within the studio with no sign of it stopping, and he was the lead writer of Starfield. As it stands now he’ll likely also be the lead writer of TES6.
The fact something like Morrowind got made and released feels like some statistical anomaly of the universe and if you think about it too hard you'll wink out of existence. Never really played that much of ESO but I didn't care too much for what I saw and like (I think) someone mentioned before if Morrowind didn't get made and have so many fans it would've been completely generic. Can't stress how much Morrowind's art direction/art style carries it at the risk of sounding like I'm tonguing its anus if it were a person.
The word you're looking for is "talent", Bethesda had talent at that point. By the time Oblivion came about, even if they had any, it didn't matter since they already made it their brand to release sterile, sloppy console pseudo RPGs instead of real CRPGs.
if they hired devs that were actually good it would have a chance, but its likely it would require nuking 80% of the studio and replacing them, and MS might be total faggots in terms of greenlighting that, if you really want to explore those areas ESO exists, its far from perfect though and I wish Bethesda's workflow would drastically change so we could get more Elder Scrolls, even if its on-par with Morrowind instead of Oblivion or Skyrim visually

If only. Really feels like ESO killed the series. Seems like MMOs for established series tend to do that.
Saw that recently, It's pretty nuts. I'd only play it if I can figure out how to install it locally though. I don't need CIA niggers listening to my mic and collecting my data.
It's cost upwards of $10k to have a dedicated PC to run the AI model for this and have it not take five+ minutes to generate lines. It'd need to be a PC on your network with at least one of those 96GB AI cards but you'd be able to have control over the LLM and make the NPCs say whatever you want with whatever voice gen files you want. You could make Ulfric sound and react like Trump and have Tullius sound and respond like Biden.
I'm not so sure about that. I can run a basic text gen LLM right now. Probably not at the same time I'm gaming but it's not that far a stretch. 12 gigs of video ram moving to 24 would do it, so maybe 1-2 graphic card gens especially if they actually bother to do it instead of intentionally keeping the plateau where the extreme amounts of profit currently is.
I'm more entertained by this zoomie suffering than the game itself.
Either way, neither the setup involved, the hardware, nor the electric bill seems to be worth it to be honest.
Seeing him try to explain the Skyrimised Dwemer ruin retcons as something in-universe was incredibly depressing. Do ESO players just readily eat up the visible degeneration of TES aesthetic and character without any criticism?
