Who wants some waffles?

A game about Redguard pirates exploring their ruined civilisation (obvi there would be some ancient evil they awaken you gotta stop) and hanging out with Ottomans, travelling with caravans across the desert and delving into Aladdin style treasure caves would be pretty cool. Too bad gamers won't buy a game about black people.

Bethesda could sell a game with a turd on the front cover (like actual physical human feces, not an artistic representation of said poo poo) at this point. Chances are, they're either going to go to Hammerfell or Valenwood next game.

Probs Hammerfell then, they can reuse all the brown wasteland textures from the next Fallout game.

Valenwood will probably be too much like Oblivion-esque Cyrodiil imho, but Hammerfell would be pretty cool. Even though it's a blander landscape than Skyrim, or pretty much anything else they've done. (except Oblivion lol)

Where does it hurt?
I have been playing Morroblivion because my roommate wanted a copy and I booted it up out of boredom, and it's got fcom and oblivionxp and a bunch of stuff added to it.

Cyrodiil is a boring slog and after two hours I had a better spell and a sword with 20 charges of mediocre.

I went over to Vvardenfell and had 4 Jinkblades and assorted rad light armor and most of the Redoran vault funneled into Creeper in 20 minutes, and was hanging out with Ernand Thierry and making broke rear end potions.

reinstalling morrowind, gently caress morroblivion, the only benefit to it is to ignore oblivion's setting completely and romp around vvardenfell in a new engine with different buggy quirks

the problem with setting a game in a particular province is that the provinces have like one notable trait. skyrim is mountains and snow. cyrodill is forest. black marsh is swamps

theres no reason any of them have to be such one trick ponies as morrowind showed but still. anything can sound boring if you distill it to a descriptive noun

There is also a jungle part of that province, and they have something like merchant cities and there are also dozens of cat subraces so they are never gonna do it :(

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
I'd like for Bethesda to go to Valenwood next but lol at their ability to do forests.

If Bethesda ever finds the ability to do gigantic WoW-esque forests where the canopy is a hundred feet high and so thick you can barely see through it, while lots of area under that is actually huge open space, I'll get excited about tromping around through the woods in Nirn, but it's Bethesda, so who knows if they'll get anywhere close to that without trying to add like 6 orders of magnitude more polygons.

Now imagine if they do that and give you the option to climb trees plus moving/jumping from one tree to another. It will give you another dimension to combat/traveling.

Bethesda already did an admirable job of simulating backwater nomads with the ashlanders. If they can create a Hammerfell environmentally inspired by a blend of North Africa, Central Asia, and Mongolia it'll be amazing. However, lol, like they would do that when they could slap brown people on light brown landscape and call it a day.

To be frank, they couldn't even program walking on land correctly. I love Morrowind, but the number of times I got stuck on a loving rock is embarrassing. Not to mention stairs or NPCs. Daggerfall is even worse!

They got a bit better at later games though.

Guys I've got it. The perfect TES game would have all the provinces open and fleshed out except for a closed off, zombiefied Cyrodiil/rim by aforementioned flying soul-powered doom fortress from the Black Marsh. Apocalypto-Morrowind was there, WoW-style tripped out massive cathedral-jungle Valenwood and Black Marsh was there, Mongolia-Hammerfell was there and Bethesda has gotten their poo poo together with basic fundamental game mechanics and quality control and a whole army of talented voice actors and ...

Does anyone have some recommendations of mods that work with Morrowblivion? Does FCOM work? Do things like texture/model/visual mods have an effect on Morrowblivion?

Know why this game is the best?

I haven't played in near a decade. Decided to search for the Boots of Blinding Speed. Looked up that they are North of Caldera but didn't seek any super-specific info. Two nights now I've spent an hour looking for them. Each time I end my session without them, yet having found some awesome poo poo in interesting places I wouldn't have otherwise visited.

Yeah, I remember the circumstances in which you find them. It seems I was a bit off on the location, though.

And the beauty of this game is that I'm not even bothered by it. In oblivion it would've been nothing more than a waste of time

Eventually, a technique called the Pankratosword was developed that could allow the sword to split atoms.

This is the dumbest goddamn thing in all of TES's convoluted-as-gently caress lore.

Edit: I mean I assumed you literally meant atom splitting and not 'Oh its some kind of mythical voice bomb that can kill a few dudes at once but totally isn't a Thum'. Suddenly injecting somewhat real science into 'A Wizard Did It: The Game' seems unbelievably laughable. Either way dudes singing at each other so hard that an entire continent was destroyed is dumb too.

idk if it was literally "splitting the atom", the description is something like "dividing the indivisible" or w/e so you dont need to clog up your elf game with boring dumb science if you dont want to

I like to believe that newtonian physics, germ theory, etc etc all apply in the TES setting but magic exists so who gives a drat.

One day, an dummer man got a message from prophet. “U ARE NEREVARINEINE!” said prophet. But the man said “but nerevariane is dead!” the prophet respzoned “no not nervaerean but nervareineine. You care reincarionate of neverain who is reincarnate of neeverar. Dogoth ur has returned and got CHIN. You are only one who can strop him!” neverevainain was like “DAGOTH ER MORE LIKE FAGGOTH UER” and so he went.

He taught “the only wae to defeat somebody with CHIM is to get CHIM yourslef. I nede the CHIM jews!” then he met man who was exploding. Neverevarinin undid curse of exploding man. Exploding mane said “thanks I was thalmor boss who was cursed to explode forever but now after exploding for ten thousand yeers I am good now. I will get you the CHIM stones. One of them is in yokuuda!”

so they went to Yokudda and wheil they were theres a giant copres monster army. Neverarinine went at got out machien guns and blasted them, while thalmor boss kicked them so hard the yokuda exploded again. But when check the ruins of yokewda, they discover gem was missing. “DAGGOT DIDN'T PUT GEMS BACK WHERE HE GOT EM!” yelled nerverineine. Thalmor boss said “he's hidden them. Only person knows where they are is haermas mora.” so neverevainin punched so hard he broke barrier between mundas and apotycra, and jumped there.

At apotycra hermase mora was there and said “whatcha want?” the neveravrineine said “WE NEED TO KNO WHERE CHIM JEWELS ARE AT”. Heramora said “okay they are hidden at black march, akaver, hammerfall, and to realms of oblition: caldharba and moonshadder.” thalmor boss said “thanks harmas mora” and they were about to leave when harmaeus said “NOT SO FAST! In exchange for this info you must giev me your sols!” the nevevrineine and thalmor boos were like “HELL NO”, so hermaeus mora aggrieved tthem!
