Our favorite zoomer TES content creator paid his teenage sister $100/hour to play TES: Daggerfall. It goes as well as you think.

I'm one of those people who get turned off by everything being Starfield levels of randomly generated content. There's aspects I enjoy, it actually feels like you're dungeon delving, but the questing and locales is so ass

That's pretty optimistic considering Starfield only has Helmet and Armor.

model wise, yes, saarfield still has the equipment system from FO4, including dual wielding from skyrim.

I was actually a little disturbed watching this. This girl is very obviously barely literate. They play it off as a joke but she clearly has trouble reading, and not in a "hurr durr zoomers can't pay attention" way. I think this admission says it all:

How does a 17-year-old interact with something for hours and afterward need her parent's help to enunciate her opinion? If she isn't stupid then society has utterly failed this girl.

It makes me wonder if he speaks to her like that because she's mildly retarded of if she's mildly retarded because the people around her have been speaking to her like she's a moron for her entire life. He sounds like he's speaking to a toddler at points. It's creepy.

Sorry for the effortpost. I just found this video really weird and, given the girl's possible leaning difficulties, it comes off as a bit exploitative.

I have an autistic hatred for UE5 for it's dogshit systems. You have a retarded hatred for UE5 for no reason. We are not the same.

Don't know how I didn't see this.

My problem with UE5 is the developers. When pocket calculators came out when I was a kid, teachers used to discourage us from using them, saying it would make our brains lazy.

Seems like UE5 is doing the same thing to developers. It makes them lazy. Whenever you see a new title coming out on UE5, you can bet your ass you're going to receive an unoptimized mess.

Likely has dyslexia mixed in with a poor attention span.

This dude introduced skyrim to his sister and had her do the "House of Horrors" quest where you beat a man to death with a mace multiple times in order to get him force him to pledge his soul to a demon.

He should have had her do Mara's quest. What girl doesn't want to help people in love? Then have her do House of Horrors while explaining the lore of Molag Baal and how his penis was bitten off so it could be forged into a spear to kill Chimer Jesus.

He hates Daggerfall because his zoomer brain can't comprehend that games of that era required you to have the manual and a guide open to figure out how to play.

Frankly, looking at his sister, I just think stupidity must run in the family. Plenty of zoomers learn how to pick up Daggerfall and even more autistic games, that includes straight up simulators, this guy is just the most stereotypical Skyrim baby and that's all there is to it. I wonder what he thinks about Starfield, considering that he is the target audience for it.

the girl literally says it's not her type of game, obviously she would be uninterested on the game overall and i would love to see her first draft as he implies it's the basic first-time-on-daggerfall skyrim-ish player take that triggers every morrowfag and daggerfag for pressing the right buttons in the same way you can anger a EVE player for saying you like space games and not flowchart simulators, the way she talks it gives huge sims/riotgames type of player and she is in the tiktoker age range too...
she does remind me of a acquaintance of mine way back in ancient times when i tried playing NFSMW with her, the exact same uninterested voice tone were it not for the 400 quid, quite the insight to have on the normalfag and a reinforcement to the golden rule of liking a reality-escapism hobby.

I'm sorry you see yourself in her bro, you know seeing as you're a cuckchanner who unironically put 1000 hours into Starfield without a gun to his head. Only one I can think of who did this were PatricianTV and PrivateSessions, and both of them were doing so for an autistic 4-9 hour video that got them paid. Both you and her are just retarded, there is nothing more to it than that.
"But she LE TRIGGERED morrowfags and daggerfags!"
There is that cuckchan speak again. Nobody is triggered by your shitty opinions, because it's common truth that /v/ is always wrong and doesn't actually know anything about videogames, therefore their opinions are always wrong. How she behaves, aside from her awful video game skills, shows there is clearly something wrong with her, even if it's just low IQ. There is a difference between someone who just plays Sims and Farmville being told to play Skyrim or Daggerfall as a prank, and someone who can barely string coherent sentences and thoughts together.

Either way, Skyrim is one of the easiest games to pick up, notoriously being "babby's first RPG" just like Halo is babby's first FPS, fooling an entire generation of teenagers with an xbox that this is what RPGs look like(they don't as Skyrim isn't an RPG). If there is a game a teenage girl should be able to pick up and play, any one of them, it's this one, and indeed they have since Skyrim is rather popular with women. Oblivion and Morrowind, not so much unless they're already established RPG fans, just driving my point home.

Someone already alluded to it, but Daggerfall was the Starfield/No Man's Sky of its day. It was heavily promoted in PC Gamer and other rags as offering a "world of infinite possibilities" or some such nonsense, meaning randomly generated Mad Libs quests and the occasional minor side quest dungeon that branched out into an endless spider-web of tunnel mazes. When you first played it, it was amazing, but after good solid 10-15 hours, lots of people said, "Wait a minute...99% of this game is just crap-quality filler generated from obviously repeated building blocks." This resulted in a lot of people feeling cold on the game and eventually dropping it.

And this was in the era of 8-bit color where the choice of palette made the difference between eye-searing muddiness and appealing graphics...Daggerfall of course going the first route. One of the tricks of that era was that to make 8-bit VGA graphics work, you need to constrain your color space, like Doom did. Go overboard, with too many colors, and it just looked like crap. The game also shipped with a bug in the main quest that made it unbeatable. IIRC I had to get the patch from a friend on a floppy (still never beat it).

The difference between Daggerfall and Starfield is that the former actually makes it's scale work and has to fill in the gaps with procedural generation by necessity. The latter is a shitty Fallout 4 mod where you occasionally use your flying box(internally a Skyrim dragon) to fight another flying box in a big black skybox, in order to get to a randomly generated dungeon with maybe 12 different enemy/layout variations total, that has to last you for over 100 hours of playtime. Oh and the story of Starfield is literally just a mcguffin quest, there is nothing more to it, just go to 27 or so randomly generated dungeons, do the Superman 64 flying ring minigame, get another shittier version of a Skyrim shout, rinse and repeat. At least Daggerfall had something resembling a story and an intrigue inbetween it's randomly generated quests, which mind you have more variety than that of Starfield too. Also, Daggerfall is an actual RPG, where as Starfield only has one or two viable builds and is not an RPG under any standard, an FPS with some RPG mechanics if we are charitable maybe but I am not, so a poor man's Fallout 4 is what I am going to call it since that game at least had better gameplay mechanics.
