The Elder Scrolls

Newfags need to get one shot by a cliff racer scoring a critical hit on them because they neglected to level up in the seyda neen slaver dungeon before getting on the flea to Bal Mora.

This is universal law. The game is working as intended. "Oh sorry, did you expect a hand hold?! Does baby zoomer need to be told to go into the slavery cave and given a structured quest first?"

No. The children need to learn. Us old fags didn't need the computer to tell us what to do. It builds character.
I generally agree that hand holding in videogames is bad but I do think there is a such thing as being too obtuse, I've tried multiple times to get into Morrowind and it strikes me as a game that falls into the latter category. I am a zoomer but I've been into retro games my whole life, all my favorite games are thirty years old so I don't think it's a me issue. Maybe at some point I'll be able to get into Morrowind and enjoy it though.

Try OpenMW it should fix any issues and honestly Morrowind is the most exploitable game in the series. If you thought Alchemy was broken in Skyrim and Oblivion then wait till you get into Morrowind's Alchemy. If you wanted to you could beat the game right at the start or completely break the economy so gold will never be an issue as early game Morrowind tends to leave you tight on septums if you are role playing or just casually playing.

Also Morrowind does have "fast travel" you just have to earn it and understand the game.
 
Acting like those N'wahs would even be able to continue playing after they receive a proper greeting from the locals. Skyrim and Bethesda did the Dunmer dirty after Morrowind as they know doubt knew that just like New Vegas they would never be able to top their magnum opus and destroyed it while forcing the Dunmer to be mere underlings to the Nords.
More like they had to punish them for being slavers. Bethesda are American as you no doubt know so their self loathing grew as gaming became more mainstream and leftoid politics became ever more ingrained with the industry. Skyrim came out just a few months before Mass Effect 3 and all the behind the scenes shit that would turn into Gamergate was already in full swing. Where before you could create a race of slavers and let the consumer make up their own opinions you now have to make sure they understand that slavery is bad. Siding with slavers? Forget it. Creating Morrowind would be unthinkable now.

There's definitely the opinion on the usual places like reddit and tumblr that Argonian, Kahjit, Bosmer and Redguard xenophobia and violence good, Altmer, Imperial, Nord, and Dunmer xenophobia and violence bad

Even if you don't intent to outright break the game, having the Tribunal expansion enabled does that job for you. Do yourself a favor and disable it till you're done with the main storyline.

The worst part about Morrowind is how it doesn't really tell you how important fatigue is, it effects your chance to hit, cast spells, how far you can jump and even certain NPC interactions. I love the game, but it's a garbage mechanic that most players simply circumvent by spamming potions.

The only good thing about the oblivion remaster being successful is that Fallout 3 remastered will definitely happen which will breathe life into the fallout 3 modding community.

If season 2 of the show pisses off New Vegas fans, all Godd Howard has to do is crack the whip on the Chinese sweatshop tier devs and make them buy Fallout New Vegas at 60$ but 64bits this time.

I'd love to live in a timeline where Fallout: TTW 64bits is a thing even if its going to be 250-300 GBs.
Yeah but it's still gonna be Fallout 3. Admittedly, TTW makes it a bit more playable, but the best thing about Fallout 3 in TTW is that you can look forward to getting to NV.
I want to say I wouldn't mind a NV remaster, but as I said before, I would actually prefer downgrading the graphics to late 90s graphics. Low polygon count, unfiltered textures, that sorta stuff. The Gamebryo era aged like milk, being extremely uncanny valley imo. Just make it more abstract.
It's probably been a decade since I played Oblivion. I didn't like it upon release, coming from Morrowind, and never really got into it. I had more fun in Skyrim since it pretended even less to be a serious RPG and did away with all the mechanics, leaving a (for the time) decent looking power fantasy walking sim brainless time waster. It was fun. So shallow you never really had to make too much of an effort, just fire it up and turn off your brain for a few hours. Oblivion, to me, always felt in-between Morrowind and Skyrim for me. Morrowind is the more serious game, with deeper mechanics and generally being more involved. Skyrim is the fun time waster. Oblivion? It still tried to be a serious RPG, but the mechanics were so scaled back it didn't feel good anymore. The world also felt incredibly generic. Morrowind felt exciting and alien, Oblivion just felt boring. Skyrim wasn't all that creative, but it did feel a bit more unique in its artstyle. I mean, it was kinda generic fantasy viking stuff, but the way it was presented felt at least a little better. Dunno how to describe it.
 
release version of the game doesn't have a proper occlusion of player's model. it has no shadow

The statue of Empress Alessia, the Founder of the Empire and Saint of Humanity, changed to hide the cleavage and give her a strong female lead stance. Their woke obsession with censoring femininity is bizarre.

Holy shit.. This just keeps getting sadder and sadder. The "current year" for gaming really is something. Imagine being this insecure that fully covered boobs on a statue in a game upsets people enough to change it. :story:

I'd say wait for mods to fix it if i didn't think Nexus might delete it.

Thart's because in first person you're just a pair of floating arms... like in the original. Yes, really. If the free camera console command still works, you can type in "tfc" (assuming you have the tweak that prevents console commands from bricking achievements), move around and see your character's disembodied arms floating midair with everything you might have equipped.

edit: oh yeah, I forgot. Found out how to make 2handers usable, possibly great even - spam the spin2win strafing power attack. It has such a gigantic sweep arc it's borderline impossible to miss, and feels like it has a massive hitstun chance. Went into the IC Arena to level up my blunt and end up just smashing fools around with my ebony warhammer. Master difficulty.

It always bugged me that the journal you need to find for Brand-Shei is basically a Dunmer, having watched everything he loved burned and destroyed, basically writing "Well, we sure had this coming. Fuck white people Dunmer!"

Speaking of Dunmer, can I just vent about that quest is Solstheim where you have to stop a conspiracy by the Ulens to murder the Councilor? The Second Councilor makes a huge point to tell you how cloak-and-dagger this needs to be and how the slightest error could cause the colony to fall apart. But it turns out that you literally go to the bartender and just ask him about leads.

He knows full well that someone has been visiting a shrine they shouldn't be and has told the authorities. Whenever the Guard stake out the shrine the Ulens never show up. Which means they know that the Councilor and the Redoran Guard are on to them and still regularly visit the shrine anyway. At least they keep their incredibly incriminating letters locked in safe and not just on their desk in the open unlike, say, Mercer.

Between this and their propensity for getting brainwashed (Vaermina, Minorne, Ahzidal, even Vivec if you think about it), I'm starting to think that Dunmer are the dumbest motherfuckers in Tamriel.

guys I'm trying to start my journey as a content creator on youtubr. Is it ok if I take a game that it's currently being discussed and call it slop?
Hate that the word has just become "thing terminally online people don't like"
It's supposed to be reserved for passionless garbage shit out onto a plate for the great unwashed to shovel down until they can consooome next corpo poop pie.
Skyrim clearly did not lack passion and effort put into it.
 
No, definitely not. In Skyrim you can't even fail quests. What choices does Skyrim have, the copy-pasted civil war? Destroying the dark brotherhood? You can kill Lucien when you first meet him in Oblivion.
Yeah I love Skyrim but it's undeniably a very on rails and streamlined game, to a detrimental extent.

Tbf, they also had House Rederon (Nationalist warriors) push the Argonians back and halt the invasion and the Black Marsh's government is fascist and their entire invasion of Morrowind was based on opportunity with the Red Mountain erruption and Morrowind being devastated by the Oblivion crisis.

The Dunmer in Skyrim are largely just refugees who refuse to return to rebuild their homeland despite the crisis (the Argonian invasion) that caused them to flee being over. The Morrowind/Solsteim Dunmer are led by the Nationalist Hosue Rederon that repelled the Argonian invaders who's invasion was only successful due to circumstance and are actively beginning to rebuild and resettle Vvardenfell.
