All I'm saying is there wasn't much separation between oblivion and skyrim, in terms of how much fun I had playing them.

literally i think the only reason i played oblivion was because it looked nicer than morrowind. skyrim is now out and looks nicer and is also a moderately better game, so there really is no reason to play oblivion any more. i went back recently and was like "lol no".

Oblivion had adoring fan and skyrim had this dumbass talking dog. Hopefully they continue the trend of annoying characters that follow you around and teleport out of nowhere.

Crewmine posted:fallout 3 might have had a retarded "no but you see you HAVE to die it's FATE" ending, but at least it had a proper setpiece at the end with the giant Americabot hurling miniature nukes quarterback-style at the enemy. F3 was loving stupid because you had two companions who were completely immune to radiation who could have set the thing off without any danger to themselves or anybody else, but they both politely declined because "It wasn't their place". Gobblecoque posted:yeah, bethesda spent pretty much all of their voiceactor budget on sean bean and patrick stewart so they had like two guys and a chick voice literally everyone else lol They got so ripped off by Pat Stew. He said like ten lines and then he died *not even half way through the Prologue* I mean, the hype surrounding "Patrick Stewart is going to play the Emperor" was one of the first and biggest marketing points of the game. I didn't even know Sean Bean was going to be in it until I met his character.

The only decent parts of obliv was the shiv.isles and the nocturnal cowl gimmick. Guard sees you wearing it, enters pursuit, *remove cowl*, baffled guard forgets why he was chasing you.

This is okay because Caius Cosades explicitly tells you to go spend some time freelancing before returning to him. Incidentally, he says a different line if you go to him as a higher level, maybe 10+ I think? He says that one look at you and anyone can tell you're an experienced adventurer, so that will be your cover. It's little things like that that add to the feel.

Actually now that I think about it I'm really confused about the playerchars whole relationship with the empire at the beginning of the game. Like, you're a prisoner? But then they release you to go do freelance work and report in (or don't lol) at your leisure to a washed out drug addict? Empire runs a tight ship I tell ya

The Thirty-Six Lessons of Vivec: Sermon Sixteen The Hortator wandered through the Mourning Hold, wrestling with the lessons he had learned. They were slippery in his mind. He could not always keep the words straight and knew that this was a danger. He wandered to find Vivec, his lord and master, the glory of the image of Veloth, and found him of all places in the Temple of False Thinking. There, clockwork shears were taking off Vivec's hair. A beggar king had brought his loom and was making of the hair an incomplete map of adulthood and death. Nerevar said, 'Why are you doing this, milord?' Vivec said, 'To make room for the fire.' And the Hortator could see that Vivec was out of sorts, though not because of the impending new power to come. The golden warrior-poet had been exercising his Water Face as well, learned from the dreughs before he was born. Nerevar said, 'Is this to keep you from the fire?' Vivec said, 'It is so that I may see with truth. It, and my place here at the altar of Padhome in the house of False Thinking, serve so that I may see beyond my own secrets. The Water Face cannot lie. It comes from the ocean, which is too busy to think, much less lie. Moving water resembles truth by its trembling.' Nerevar said, 'I am afraid to become slipshod in my thinking.' Vivec said, 'Reach heaven by violence then.' So to quiet his mind the Hortator chose from the Fight Racks an axe. He named it and moved on to the first moon. There, Nerevar was greeted by the Parliament of Craters, who knew him by title and resented his presence, for he was to be a ruling king of earth and this was the lunar realm. They shifted around him in a pattern of entrapment. 'The moon does not recognize crowns or scepters,' they said, 'nor the representatives of kingdoms below, lion or serpent or mathematician. We are the graves of those that have migrated and become ancient countries. We seek no Queens or thrones. Your appearance is decidedly solar, which is to say a library of stolen ideas. We are neither tear nor sorrow. Our revolution succeeded in the manner that is was written. You are the Hortator and unwelcome here.' And so Nerevar carved at the grave ghosts until he was out of breath and their Parliament could make no new laws. He said, 'I am not of the slaves that perish.' Of the members of Parliament only a few survived the Hortator's attack. A surviving Crater said, 'Appropriation is nothing new. Everything happens of itself. This motif is by no means unassociated with hero myths. You have not acted with the creative impulse; you fall below the weight of destiny. We are graves but not coffins. Know the difference. You have only dug more and supplied no ghosts to reside within. Central to your claim is the predominance of frail events. To be judged by the earth is to sit on a throne of wonder why. Damage us more and you will find naught but the absence of our dead.' The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

But then they release you to go do freelance work and report in (or don't lol) at your leisure to a washed out drug addict? Everything I've encountered so far is that the Empire is a total basket case. Everyone is on the take from someone else. Their proxies from the native population on the island are slave-owning mafioso landlords. There's an attempted coup back in the capital. It's like the Austro-Hungarian Empire about to poo poo itself. So you have a bunch of ne'er-do-wells and prisoners you want to get rid of. Easy peasy, you ship them off to colonize the backwater island of Vvardenfell and hire them as low-budget informants. For a sorta real-life equivalent, there was a story not long ago about how in the early years of the revolution in Syria, Assad deliberately released a bunch of jihadists from his prisons. Just let them go. There were hard-wired Al Qaeda types that other rebels knew were in prison before the revolution now popping up in charge of the jihadist brigades. It's like: "what are *you* doing here?" The answer was: they're here so the U.S. isn't. And to allow Assad to get away with leveling your city and salting the earth. They weren't necessarily working directly with the regime, but they were getting used by it. Oh God what is happening to me.

seriouspost but what happened between morrowind and oblivion? morrowind , while lacking in graphics, had some really cool aesthetics with its own style and "culture" making the world actually look foreign and interesting while oblivion was just dull as gently caress as everyone knows. skyrim too. did people quit working at bethesda or something??

What does look pretty horrible are the animations. But between overhauls and Morrowind Graphics Extender providing distant land and modern shaders, Morrowind can look pretty drat good today.

Kirkbride, their crazy alcoholic writer, left. And Oblivion actually sold better than Morrowind. And of course Skyrim sold even better. So I wouldn't expect them to ever return to Morrowind's exotic style when the market has taught them that they can just keep pushing bland crap. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll farm an Elder Scrolls game out to Obsidian again?
