I'm playing Morrowind again at the minute and holy shit, it's like bethesda have scales they just can't balance.

It's literally content or graphics. Oblivion is the closest they've ever come to a balance (for it's time). Whereas Skyrim is a souless borefest that looks semi-pretty, Morrowind looks like absolute shit but has some of the best quests and world I've seen in a long while.

>>387309248
You do realize Morrowind came out in 2001 while Skyrim came out in 2011, right? Morrowind was quite difficult to max out back in the day if your PC wasn't xboxhueg, it wasn't Max Payne tier graphics but it still looked really pretty.

idk what happened but i finally started playing my copy of skyrim (with 42 mods) and i'm loving it, and i never thought i would. playing on legendary difficulty and i've had to get creative with almost everything i've done because a straight 1 on 1 fight is literally impossible most of the time, unless it's against a wolf.

it's a shame skyrim is garbage, a better use of dev time would be to have made dungeons not linear as fuck instead of fucking ants.
the only people that enjoyed skyrim were autists who had never played a previous elder scrolls

>>387309707
Honestly I felt like I was playing a B-movie version of elder scrolls or something to that degree. The voice acting can be pretty terrible like with the daedric princes and the games quirks mount very quickly. However I found it to be enjoyable and funny, you can literally kill Mannimarco the big bad nercromancer from Daggerfall in seconds. Not to mention the level scaling makes gives bandits glass armour along with being randomly attacked in the street by that corrupt guard guy which somehow gives me a bounty. The game doesn't even take place in jungle cyrodil but a forest one. I found bumbling around the province enjoyable although I never when spelunking a lot or dungeon crawling so I don't know how stale it can get.

>>387310218
>The game doesn't even take place in jungle cyrodil but a forest one.

Jungle Cyrodiil was never a thing.

People just know the line "It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle." and jumped to conclusions but if you actually continue to read the book it goes into detail as to what makes up that "jungle", i.e. grassland, rainforest, deciduous forest, swamp and marshland. Pretty much all this stuff is present in Oblivion with some new additions to areas that weren't mentioned, e.g. Anvil, and some rearrangement so that it makes a little more sense from an ecology point of view.

>>387310117
I've played all of them sans Arena and I like Skyrim.

>>387310524
Actually, if you read lore books it seems Talos had access to CHIM and retconned Cyrodil being a jungle

not even kidding

>>387309020
>grass clipping through wood
Huh... So this is the power of Skyrim

>>387310524
>Pretty much all this stuff is present in Oblivion
With the exception of you know, the actual jungle parts, which are the biggest parts.
And if you actually read to the end of the paragraph it even says "but most of Cyrodiil is a river-based society surrounded by jungle."
In Morrowind they even say "It is the largest region of the continent, and most is endless jungle."
It was always a thing until Oblivion retconned it.

One of the funniest things about skyrim is that the audio is so godawfully mangled no one knew the dragons actually have a shitload of spoken lines during the fights where they smack talk similarly to the bandits et all.

To fix the level scaling. In the vanilla game, you are more powerful at level 1 than level 25.

>>387311452
Because the game is pretty shit without them?
Oblivion goes from a 5/10 game to a 8/10 game with mods. At least for me.

Or where you asking what mods? Check out the Tesgeneral website or just google "Oblivion mod guide" or something.

>>387311452
>>387311536
Sorry, I meant what mods, not why. No clue why I wrote why.

>>387311214

It's says that jungle is rainforest. There IS a rainforest in Oblivion, it's just moved to the east of the Imperial City instead of surrounding it and the deciduous forest, also mentioned in the book, as been moved east so that it comes up to the western side of the Imperial City. Cyrodiil remains "endless jungle" in Oblivion, it's just not what you pictured that jungle as being.

>>387309248
I love Oblivion but you're falling for nostalgia. Skyrim has way more engaging dungeons, quests and writing than TES4. Oblivion is memorable for the comfy atmosphere and non-neutered levelling system.

Dark Brotherhood was better in Oblivion though.

Why Skyrim needs 2000 releases and is praised as the best RPG ever is fucking rage inducing.

Im not the Morrowind guy here but holy hell, can people stop praising it to kingdom come? It came out almost at the same time as Dragon Age II and Witcher 2. Jesus, time to die already. Both Bioware and Polskis already released sequels or new games that was successess or super failures.

Are you ok?

>>387309020
Honestly I know this guy that likes Skyrim/Fallout 4. And he has never played previous titles in either series.

How does bethesda get away with it? Neither of them are good gameplay wise. The exploration is bare bones as fuck and there is no player choice or agency for you to change something and have the world react to it.

What is it about Bethesda that makes normies go full retard and enjoy them so much? The stories in both games/writing is seriously awful and barely even qualifies as above 10th grade script quality.

When will the meme about bethesda games end?

>>387311282
At least in spanish the dragons never stop talking. Right now I can't go back to skyrim without feeling bored as shit, but I remember playing it in 2011, on 360 (some friends gifted it to me, yeah, I was hyped as shit for some shitty trailers)

Anyway, the fight with the first dragon, he kept talking shit in dragontongue and normal languaje and almost at the end of the fight the main theme started and when he was dying and said DOHVAKIN NOOOOO the chorus got in and I thought it was scripted but I did the same fight like 5 times on PC but it never happened again...it was pretty cool, but I guess I was just lucky

>>387311760
Skyim has the best open world bar none.

Most western developers (including the witcher 3 and GTA guys) think making everything big compensates for their lifeless world. Skyrim actually cares about improving NPC behaviors to make it seem as if the world is alive and everyone has their own life.

Its not perfect buts its better than any open world game there is, thus making it the perfect sandbox, specially for mods.

>>387311590
Firstly, Blackwood is not a rainforest it's a swamp, secondly, even if it was a proper rainforest it's not tropical as was described in the book, nor does it make up a large part of Cyrodil.

I don't exactly care too much that they changed it, it would be neat to see, but it never triggered me like it did with so many others. But we shouldn't pretend that Cyrodil wasn't always supposed to be filled with tropical jungles before they changed it for Oblivion.

You're not allowed to talk about any Elder Scrolls before or after 3 on /v/ because the Numale Army gets triggered. Reminder that Numidian was from the plane of Aetherius and it having anything to doEpik Quirky Science Dwemer was a major lore destroying retcon.

>>387312081
It is anything but. The world is lifeless and sterile. Morrowind has a better world because it's more interesting, varied, more side quests, interesting phenomena that can happen. More atmospheric.

Skyrim looks,feels and plays like absolute shit. It's painfully obvious this was your first and only elder scrolls game.

Also not that guy you responded to.

What did Skyrim do better?
>>387312081
WITH MODS, always with the fucking mods. I had more fun playing Witcher III than doing the same shit over and over in Skyrim and hearing the same voice actor and the same "WHO ARE YOU?" from idiot Jarls, having to redo the same fucking type of quests to buy a house. The Witcher 3 also do that with NPCs and it do not feel like im riding through dead lands like it did in Skyrim. I find Skyrim to be one of the more dead open world. Litterally super long rides t hrough boring land.

Still, it do not render a million remakes to be sold to the idiotic mainstream who think this shit is the best RPG when it is the most shallow made in the Elder Scrolls series.

>>387311671
Yeah no. The quest design in Skyrim is so awful, these days when playing the game I skip 90% of them because of their focus on more cinematic and "epic" shit which just forces you to stand around waiting for people to finish talking or walking. The dungeons might look a bit nicer but they are just a linear corridor most of the time. Oblivion gets a lot of shit for the dungeons because they all look and feel so samey but their layouts are actually some of the best in the series.
Writing is just as shit as Oblivion with none of the characters having any semblance of a unique character or personality.

>>387312081
I’m honestly confused when people think they’re comparable. That’s not saying Witcher 3 isn’t a good game, and that it did things better than Skyrim or other Bethesda games, but in terms of open world? Absolutely not.

Witcher 3’s open world was more comparable to Assassin’s Creed than anything else, and frankly there were tons of issues with it, the same issues that plague a lot of other open world games these days. So many of these games have three or four simple tasks, and instead of introducing variation, they just repeat those same tasks over a massive overworld. In Assassin’s Creed it was always climb the thing, open the chest, climb the thing, get a camera shot, climb the thing, get a feather, climb the thing get a chest.
And Witcher 3 really is no different. You’d get a bandit camp, a monster nest, a village where you kill some monsters and they move back in, etc, etc, etc.
Skellige was the worst example of this. They filled the ocean with the same three floating chests over seventy times. No variation, no change. It wasn’t a substitute for actual content. Which is the problem. Witcher 3 didn’t NEED to be open world, it didn’t really gain much from going off the beaten path, whereas with TES games it’s kind of the core of the games.
People also somehow cite it being better because it’s bigger or whatever, but then I didn’t really feel that argument. The fact is the overworld is bigger, but Witcher 3 is very limited when comes to interiors.
Think about Skyrim or Oblivion or even Morrowind. Every house, every interior, everything you see, you can enter. Skyrim has a fucknugget of sprawling dungeons, where Witcher 3, like most open world games, is mostly above-ground. Caves end up being fairly small or limited in size, and often tied to quests, and are even more samey than people accuse Skyrim of being.

>>387311725
Don't bother. Elder Scrolls lore is retconned every game. Morrowind destroyed Daggerfall's, then Oblivion Morrowinds then Skyrim Oblivion's.

Just start by reading up on stuff on the wiki.
Start with a thing you would like to know more about like say, the Dunmer, then as you read the article you come across information and links to things that sound interesting, like say the Ghostfence, then in that article you find a link to the Red Year, and so on.

Granted you will actually have to find the stuff interesting, but then again if you didn't what would be the point in even learning it in the first place.

>>387312253
The Witcher 3 is a superior RPG game on every level compared to Skyrim, The only part is that you are Geralt and there is no self insert but who wants to play a Dragonborn? I didn't.

Witcher 3 is more alive to me with more varied design on the world than Skyrim. I just do not see how people can call Skyrim the better sandbox when it is so easy to just dig a little at the world and it comes collapsing down cause Bethesda cannot make a interesting NPC worth a while.

It might have a shit ton of houses and shit to visit but what good is that if its just a house with some no name NPC that is boring as fuck and nothing of interest inside it? I like visiting houses, I can plundet through all the houses in Baldurs Gate but that feels like im really finding quests and weird shit in them while Skyrim got nothing of interest or has "capital" city of 12 houses. Another immersion breaker. That is also a reason why you can visit all houses, cause the settlements are fucking villages.

You are not going to get tropical rainforests next to deciduous forests. It's a temperate rainforest in Oblivion. And yes, it is in the game. It's borders the mangrove forest, also mentions in that book everyone always refers to, that is located in the south.

They even adhere to the elevation description from the book. The only thing that isn't mentioned is the dry grassland towards the west, but they do mention that area is a wet dry region that sees frequent fires in summer so maybe they thought something like what we got would be better than more forest.

That armor is sub par. The arm and leg pieces don't need to be made of so many parts. They could be one part and much stronger. The torso plates being segmented would make sense if they could rotate, but they are all locked to each other by that frontal spine.

Also Daggerfall had an uncensored version of the Real Barenziah where she gets fucked unconsious in the middle of the bee and the barb by a khajiit's thorny cock. She late was given a forced abortion by Tiber Septim and his wizard and woke up in a puddle of fetus giblets.

Crassius made me restart the game. It was either get locked out of completing any great house quest line or get sexually harassed.

Am I missing something here?

>>387315227
Someone probably just thought of some names for diseases they thought were clever and put them in. It's not like it'd be hard. Probably a few minutes of work since all the systems needed to implement them are already there.

>>387314392
>Crassius made me restart the game. It was either get locked out of completing any great house quest line or get sexually harassed.
I thought that was only required for Hlaalu.

>>387315416
Probably counted before dawnguard.

>>387315539
Yeah but you can't join another house after joining Hlaalu so I had to restart. Which isn't that big a deal since you do stuff wrong on your first playthrough of an rpg. Joining Hlaalu being one of them.

>>387309707
I had plenty of fun playing Oblivion, and there is nothing you can do about it.

>>387309821
wrong. It was one of the first games to support pixel shaders for water and the water looked incredible but, you had to have a geforce 3 or equivalent card which at the time not many people had.

It's biased anyway. It separates weapons into it's subtypes for Morrowind.

1H Axe
2H Axe
1H Mace + Club
2H Hammer
Staff
Dagger + Tanto
Short Sword
1H Sword + Katanas
2H Sword + Daikatana
Spear + Halberd
Bows
Crossbows
Throwing Knife + Throwing Star + Throwing Dart

Well, that's 20. Your can try guessing which one they didn't count. I guess either Halberds or Clubs.

During an interview with Todd Howard, he was asked why they don't have spears. He said people keep thinking of thing to add to games while he tries to find unnecessary thing to remove.

So streamlining or simplifying I guess is his answer.

Morrowind was always ugly, and it was only difficult to max out because Bethesda is incompetent at optimizing their games.

Kingdom Hearts came out the same year Morrowind did.

I don't know why everybody has a problem with level scaling in oblivion, just get a mod to fix/replace it or just play at level 1 like I do ya doofuses.

It's about it adding some variety and depth to the world or at least an illusion of it. You can actually go read Glathiars notes about his paranoia in his house. Hackdirt is simply some wierd shit that can intrigue the player.

Vivec imagines himself to be a poet. He writes in obscure and nonsensical metaphor specifically to obfuscate the truth, and in doing so define his own reality. He's basically such a weirdo and egotistical bastard that he mantles Mephala and acts as the daedric prince in certain instances, like the Pomegranate Banquet. But just as Vivec actually did modify some bits of reality, there's also parts of his sermons that are straight bullshit and just being hard to understand to give him a mask of false divinity.

One thing that always bugged me about Oblivion and Morrowind was that your Endurance level dictated how much your health would increase each level. That meant if you increased your endurance at a lower level you would end up with more health than a character that increased it at a higher level, even if you had exactly the same stats.

It's not hard. Even DnD had the common dense to increase your health 1dwhatever per level if you increased your constitution.

It was such an easy fix. Apparently it was all too much and Skyrim had to get rid of attributes all together.

>>387326931
Good riddance to attributes. I don't want to spend half an hour each level trying to max out my gains. Especially if there's level scaling so I'd have to do it.

At least it was easier in Morrowind since the level scaling wasn't as bad, it just changed the enemies and there was no limit on how much you could use trainers. Still didn't like it.

>>387312549

>>387309248

>>387326931

That was almost certainly deliberate because, as you said, it's a ridiculously easy fix. You can't make a game like TES and not know how to implement retroactive attributes, especially considering other attributes in the game are retroactive. TES is not DnD. It's not "leveling up", it's ostensibly living a life. Someone who has built their endurance from a young age IS going to be hardier than someone who waited until later.

It doesn't really matter anyway, min maxing has never been necessary because it's too easy to become an OP god in TES 1-3 and there is level scaling in 4 and 5.

>>387309248
>Morrowind looks like shit

Lmao. The scenery is god tier in that game.

Morrowind still looks better than Oblivion just by virtue of having better scenery.
