The Elder Scrolls

[Blood Bath & Beyond]

Those perks were always in the game. They were just unlisted.

The combat dodge IS new though.

The combat dodge is NOT new. In the original it was unlocked at level 50 Acrobatics and was excuted by pressing jump while holding the block button and a direction.

Regardless, I have absolutely no interest in playing this. Oblivion has always been kind of shit tbh, the combat was overly simple and lacked weight, the story and dialogue of the base game was completely uninspired (though the issue was allieviated to an extent with the expansions), but the dungeons especially have always been utterly pathetic. They are essentially a masterclass demonstration on the fine art of the copy-paste. Every single cave, ruin and dungeon from one to the next feels like the last one you visited only minutes prior. There is absolutely no way I will be forcing myself to suffer through such mundanity in order to experience the few bright spots that game actually possesses, particulary since I've already experienced all of those bright spots before as this is literally a game that I - and the majority consoomers who are actually buying it - have already played... being sold to us again for $60+ USD.

I prefer ascending AC for sure. However, regardless, in TTRPGs, you are presented with complete rules. It is not too hard to figure out what chance a wizard might have to successfully stab an orc in any edition. Even without autismo-tier math, you can eyeball that a wizard won't ever have a high chance to hit. In most computer games, you are presented with an utterly meaningless array of numbers. Moreover, quite a few series change the rules with every iteration, so you don't really know what is "good" or "bad" at the outset or what the scale even means. AD&D, for all its warts, is quite clear that 18 puts you at the top of humanity and gives you defined bonuses to various rolls.



We're in our 40s now. We have families and careers and houses and things like that now.

I disagree bring back thac0 and the actually dangerous monsters it will scare off all the casuals, theater kids and redditors. In fact make it even more complicated by adding in armor slope weapon bonuses/negatives to each individual armor type then when all the 5e and up players leave change it back.

The vast majority of my hours in Skyrim were spent playing as a self-made Orc mogul who lived off the land

The thing i remember the most from my Skyrim playthrough was being harassed by bears, idk if it was an oldrim bug or what but the same complain people had with wolves in oblivion i had it with bears, my character had unintentionally become a bear pelt salesman

Even after my character had became a turbo chad full daedric gear with that cool golden priest mask you get after gathering the others, i still was fucking harassed by them everytime i took like 4 steps out of a city, it didnt mattered were i was, if i fast traveled or not, like flies to honey, bears would come out of the woodworks to attack me, i hated them so much!

After dicking around in the map doing miscelaneous shit i see this NPC that has a random quest about colecting bear pelts because she also fucking hates them, after i did the mission i instantly married her because of our shared hatred of bears. It was love at first sight.

I still dont know what caused so many bear attacks.

I will most likely be removed as the janny's cope post below the body type selector stated that they will ban similar mods.

A body type 1/2 backport to the original? They won't even consider removing this one, heh.


Someone should just replace it with gibberish for fun. Apples / Oranges. Howdy / Yee Haw. ? / !.

dipped into some youtube for the newblivion memes and saw a bunch of videos crying about ps5 base and xbox performance. is it really that bad or is it neckbeards crying about 59fps?

 

[Caddo Cobgang]

A part of it is, yes. But not all of it.
Other areas are jungle, some are Badlands.
Others are Savannah.
Remember, each ES game has different looking Khajiit because Khajiit can look different depending on what phases of the moons they’re born in.
Some end up looking like Nekos with slit eyes, cat tails and ears like in Daggerfall. Some end up coming out as regular ass looking cats and some look like Sabertooth Tigers.
Some look like Lynxes like the Skyrim ones, etc.

its why i Enjoy Cyrodill as a setting, its at the crossroads of all of Tamriel so you get varied Biomes from deserts to snowshit, I like Skyrim but Jesus Christ it has been annoying to stare at just Snow for the past 10 years

It’s weird. The dedicated GTA complaining thread has less negativity.
Maybe this thread should be changed to “The Elder Scrolls Grieving Thread” and a new one be made so people who don’t wanna sift through the complaints can have conversations and the complainers don’t have to see people saying good things about something they don’t like.

people just shit on anything new that comes out these days, hardly just restrained to Elder Scrolls sadly, its what happens when you let YouTube hicks do your thinking for you instead of evaluating a game based on its merits and flaws and playing it yourself

When I think of peak RPG experiences, it’s stuff like this.

Someone openly uploading malware to the mods trying to get some of the troons to download it for heckin' stunning and brave validation would be... some pretty low tier trolling.

Isn't because of the file being the .exe?

There's need to be a gender selector that goes: Breeders/Seeders
Simple, straight to the point and inclusive!

"You will always be the Dragonborn." In F:NV you are always the courier

You do not understand how many times I’ve had to explain this to “people.”

Some faggot was whining about how “I’ll always be a former soldier looking for my son” and I was like “Okay, in New Vegas you’ll always be a mailman looking for the guy who shot you.”

Hell, Courier 6 has more of a backstory than Nate does.

RPG was casually used to describe a character-story driven game, often with levelling and class elements.

Remember, when RPG‘s had really specific stories where you played as this character that you couldn’t change the look of or even the clothing of and the only thing you could change was the name?
You know like the original Final Fantasy games specifically the first two. And you know all those old RPG’s on the NES and the Super Nintendo and all those old consoles?

Sure, you had side quests and what not and you could buy armor and spells and new weapons and blah blah blah, but it didn’t change the way your character looked or anything like that so I’m not sure where these people are getting this idea of what a “ classic RPG is“ when none of the things that they say a “classic RPG“ or a “real RPG“ has to have in them was in any of these games.

If we are going by their standards of what a “RPG“ is, then those really old Final Fantasy games and any other game series like Final Fantasy isn’t a “real RPG.“
Final Fantasy and those games like it would be “turn based adventure games.”
So yeah, one of the greatest RPG franchises of all time is technically not an RPG by their standards.

“Todd derangement syndrome” really describes some of the individuals in this thread.

It’s the fallout thread too. Anything to do with Bethesda really. Some of it is deserved, I’m not denying any of that. But some of these retards act like Todd killed their firstborn son, burned down their village and established himself as the dark evil wizard trying to take over the world when all he did was make a few games that they don’t like

You are a seriously dumb faggot.

Don’t bother with that moron. He’s a clinical Obsidian fanboy that can’t cope with the fact that his favorite studio is in the shitter and his most hated studio has risen from the ashes like a fucking Phoenix.

YouTube hicks do your thinking for you instead of evaluating a game based on its merits and flaws and playing it yourself

I assume you meant to say “hacks.” if so, I completely agree like that one retard who posts thumbnails of himself, crouching with a fucking exercise ball in his hand and the title is like: “*insert popular game that everyone likes* actually has BAAAAAAD game design.”
Give me a fucking break. I fucking HATE video game “essayists.“
You click on the video and it starts with the sound of a VHS tape being inserted into the fucking VHS machine and then there’s some weird fucking filter on the screen and it’s some douchebag standing there with a microphone in his hand or something else you know like they’re sitting at a desk or something.
Shit sucks.

Base PS5 has me catching fairly stereotypical dips in areas like Kvatch and they sure didn't make the cell-loading stutters any better. Otherwise the performance on performance mode seems decent otherwise.

It performs about as well as Oblivion does normally if you load it down with a bunch of visual overhauls, I.E. not ideal.

I'm having so much fun with the game, I've completely forgotten about the Body Type bullshit.

 

[Microplastics In My Blood]

some minor issues I have with the gameplay of the Remaster magic-wise are:

Max magicka doesn't affect magicka regen speed.
Blocking while casting doesn't speed up casting.
Chain-casting no longer works.

Why? Seems like they wanted to introduce some balances to make magic less OP and Melee more viable but got cold feet halfway through. The fact is that you can still multiplicatively stack weakness effects on enemies, you can still make spells that make certain skills useless (Fortify Armourer 100 for 3 secs, Charm target 100 for 3 secs, Feather + Fortify Acrobatics for x seconds etc.) and you can still gain magicka by casting Telekinesis with an Absorb Magicka effect

Not regenerating magicka would be an issue except Oblivion has a ton of ways of getting magicka back (potions, Welkynd stones, Nine chapels, Alyeid wells.)

They removed some of the "features" that made magic a bit stronger and left in all the things make magic retardedly powerful and kept in some weird mechanics/bugs that allow you to exploit the magic system. Now that the magic skills are easier to level (especially Restoration) it's now easier to get to the point where you can make spells that break the game. I don't really get it.
