I always thought the skill/level up system kind of sucked in Morrowind and Oblivion. It rewarded power-gaming and just focusing on skills that would get you +5 to attributes every time. That said, I hated the perk system in Skyrim even more.

I want to enjoy Oblivion the way it's supposed to be played, but they really should have added some way to level up unique quest items like the Escutcheon of Chorrol. I know there are mods that do it, but it should have been in the game from the start.

>>384555737
I feel it was only there to vex autists. Beyond strength increasing your carrying capacity stats don't really matter and you're bound to max out your main ones whether you liked it or not.

>>384555737

What it encouraged was differences between classes and races. The attributes system would mean that you might not choose a major / minor skill that doesn't really fit with your build or race, (or you might pick only skills that do that to be a min maxing faggot), so you can't be a master of all trades like you can be in Skyrim. Also it had a nice feel to it. Swing clubs around a lot, you get more strength. It makes sense.

That said, it's no where near a perfect system, there's always room for improvement.

I liked it. I never was a power gamer and played on a casual level without planning my build out or going put of my way to level some specific attribute and I did just fine.

It's more like the system makes powergaming possible but you aren't forced to

Never finished Skyrim. I realized I was spending about 80% of my time in inventory screens and just wasn't having fun anymore. It was just the continual cycle of find a dungeon, kill everything in it, loot it, go back home, try to sell everything I can, and store the rest.

Did anyone ever manage to make a half-decent inventory screen mod? Either the spreadsheet view from Oblivion or the grid view from Morrowind would be a massive improvement over the piece of shit that we got. There's no way to store all of one type of item, so I'm spending 5 minutes storing alchemical ingredients every time I make a trip. There's no way to view information about items without selecting them. There's so much goddamn wasted space. I don't need to see a close up of and be able to rotate a 3D model that was created in 2006.

It's less of a big deal in Morrowind, since the world doesn't level scale, so if a place has tough enemies, you can always take your time catching up and come back later.

Oblivion, though; goddamn, that was a mess. Good sidequests, but one of the worst examples of level scaling in videogames.

>>384563443
I'm only a little less greener than you, but I can tell you, pick two weapons, one armor (maybe two if you can fit it in somewhere, I went light AND medium because the dlcs have very good medium sets I heard) and alchemy, enchanting, and whatever else you prefer.

Alchemy and enchanting are universally agreed to be the two best skills in the game.

don't put acrobatics into your major/minors. You will level it up FAST regardless. Kinda same for athletics, but the running speed is very useful early game.

Axes deal massive damage, but are heavy and kinda rare.

I like wearing the dark brotherhood armor while wearing the common robe over it, I wish the other games would let you wear clothes under armor and robes over them.

>>384565185
Ok, so, at the stilt strider in balmora, head south from town, there will be a little bridge going across the river, take it and head straight-ish. Hidden away near the hills is a mine, an ebony mine to be exact. Has a V in the name (sorry for vagueness but the area is small so you will find it)

Loot all ebony, stash or sell, then head to vivec, st olms, to the haunted manor. Take the lock picks from under the table to the right when you come in, and pick the lock down the stairs. In there you will find some bros chillin in a room. One of them you can tell about the ebony mine. He will reward you with a daedric weapon of your choosing!

Or you can tell some other person somewhere and get 2k gold. The ebony is worth more than that tho so the weapon is a better choice.

>>384557972
There's a reason nobody really talks about Neherim unless they're some kind of social retard, anon.

No, there are no eye slits whatsoever.

I assumed that having any openings at all would be a safety breach, so instead you have to just become a blind master and/or sense the world through magic.

They literally retconned the entire aesthetic of the Imperials in favor of making it more generic, and then in Skyrim they retconned it right back.

Well, I guess it's subjective, but I consider it to be pretty true.

You should play it only if you've beaten Oblivion so completely that you're willing to spend your time on a shitty tumor of a mod just because it has content. If you want content, then play it, by all means.

You get somebody with a lick of talent to make a nice thing, without too much precedence set in stone. It's original and defines the look.
Then a few years later, once business is booming and the investor puppetmasters have their hands thoroughly embedded within your upper stomach via the rectum, you let the coffee gopher who's here because he wanted to work for video games design a totally new version of the thing. Unfortunately, there's no care put into it, and you wind up with a bunch of random shit hanging off with no apparent nor actual purpose. Subtle and elegant design choices are thrown aside in favor of over-embellishment and disregard for why things were the way they were, all so it can go in the faggot's portfolio.

I feel like they retconned it way too far back in Skyrim. In Morrowind it had a clear roman aesthetic but wasn't tied down to lorica segmentata and the no-pants-with-skirt look, it was more like a roman aesthetic for the 13th century. In Morrowind they were just really roman to the point of looking entirely obsolete compared to the other basic sets of the game.

Oblivion could've been so much better aesthetically. Imagine if they'd actually differentiated between the Colovians and the Nibenese, giving the former a more Byzantine/eastern aesthetic than the latter.

That's just a shitty excuse to handwave their deliberate goal of making it more generic.

All throughout Morrowind, we are only aware of the area as a jungle, but they didn't want to do that so they just handwaved it.

And guess what? Elder Scrolls Online (Which takes place before Talos' birth.), the region isn't a jungle either, and Bethesda explained that the excuse they made was a "transcription error" in addition to all the references of it being a jungle also being "transcription errors".

The truth is that they soured on the Jungle idea, retconned it, came up with an excuse, invalidated that excuse, and then retconned away the excuse entirely to come up with a different excuse.

You have no reason to go native in Morrowind, since even as a dunmer you're still considered as an outlander and the only great house worth joining is scarcely even aware that empire is a thing.
Oblivion doesn't even give you the choice.
You have no reason to go native in Skyrim either unless you're a nord, but even then you'd be seceding from an empire founded by your own people (more or less) and the game presents you with an absolutely retarded alternative to the empire anyway.

MK is probably creeping around the elder scrolls reddit page right now, you better get over there, fast! It's been over 10 minutes since he got his dick sucked!

For real though, he's a one-hit-wonder hack. He came up with a good setting by cribbing off of Hinduism, and he's been milking it to a pathetic degree ever since, even long after he left the writing team. I'd take his """canon""" with a grain of salt if I were you, especially given his own autistic rants about how canon is a fake concept that exists in the eye of the beholder which is somehow why his further writings are canon despite not being canon (?).

Should also be noted that the only type of person who is going to say something along the lines of "Truth is subjective, and we can all decide for ourselves, which is really freeing because it means you get to accept everything I say! Weeeee!" is a major narcissist by default.

It's a bit of a reach in Skyrim, but regardless so what? Unless you're playing as a native you don't really have a reason to care, since the local yokels hate your guts anyway and the empire is very roman like in its provincial development efforts.
I can play the mighty conqueror's role every bit as happily as the plucky freedom fighter.
