Oblivion's character creator never ceases to amaze me with its potential for abominations.

The only thing that would make that guy better was if you gave him that Jimmy Neutron hairstyle (I can't believe that's a thing).

Cinematic? I can't think of many games that need to have Exposition Man show up after the main story's been done to spend ten minutes explaining why you did all that.

Perfectly appropriate for medieval times, though. Christ, politics were an absolute clusterfuck back then, even worse than today.

You misunderstand what I mean. It has more traditional cutscenes and a set protagonist, villains, the main plot is more defined, it's definitely told more like a straight movie than Elder Scrolls.

No, I know exactly what you mean, but I was just making a bad and terribly-written joke that KC: D should be described more as "literary" since the epilogue is well... ten minutes of Exposition Man describing the political state of things like Tolkien talking about a roundtable.

Oh I gotcha, yeah I guess that's not a bad point at all. (I never finished Kingdom Come, fun game but too janky when I played it)

I guess when you're dealing with a heavily political historical setting getting some further explanation as to what happened and why isn't a bad idea.

Oh it really isn't.
Spoilers: So, TL;DR Wenceslaus cut a deal with Sigismund that would put Sigismund in de facto control of the HRE, leaving Wenceslaus free to drink and fuck as much as he pleased. He then backed out of that agreement since it left him completely powerless and dependent, and began telling everyone Sigismund was trying to take his rightful title from him. Naturally Sigismund got offended at that, and then decided to take power for himself since his half-brother was being an ungrateful cunt. So yeah, because two siblings couldn't get along, a massive chunk of Bohemia got burned to the ground.

Or you could just look things up on Wikipedia.

I love how much of medieval history is just familial disputes that result in hundreds if not thousands of regular people having to die horrible deaths, because Lord Fucksnuffle and King diggersnit couldn't agree over which ale was the best or which of their three cousins had the warmest butthole.

Now do you see why Exposition Man has to show up and explain things, both to you the player and Henry the character?

Honestly, Skybabies not knowing anything has become such a meme at this point this could just be a shitposter.

Then again, I'd bet there are people that work on these games now who don't know basic shit, especially 10 years after Skyrim.

Reminds me of when people got pissed that someone in Riften says "Friday" instead of "Fredas" and when they bitched Bethesdas response was basically "get a life". Bethesda don't care because the vast majority of players don't even realize there's a calendar.

I mean, that's pretty fucking lazy on Bethesda's part. Half the people that post things like "did you know Solstheim was first in Morrowind?!?!" are deep cover trolls or karma farming, though.

Bethesda hired some so-called loremaster to keep everything straight in ESO. I remember he was on a livestream with the team, and when somebody asked who Zenithar was, the dumbass had to go to UESP to get the answer. I get not knowing a random detail like the name of a trainer in a specific guildhall in Daggerfall, but the Imperial pantheon is as basic as it gets.

It seems like a waste to hire a loremaster when Bethesda could have just had a Dragon Break happen to sweep any inconsistencies under the rug.

Actually, they are probably at a point where they've forgotten Dragon Breaks are a thing now that I think about it. Aren't there a bunch of anachronistic books in ESO and their explanation was simply "they were pulled through time?" when there was already a precedent in Morrowind that Dragon Breaks could cause books from the future to appear before they were written?
