I played some morrowind and decided to do the temple for the first time, it was pretty loving sweet flying around on pilgramige

but the thing that always fucks me up in morrwind is I keep mixing up east and west. I don't understand what the gently caress is wrong with my brain but I never had that problem in obliv or skyrim.

I guess I've been subliminally thinking east = "towards rome" and morrowind being on the other side of the rome stand in is jacking me up or something.

so I was wandering around inside the ghostfence at level 3 all hosed up and lost

Why do people constantly bitch about titty armor in video games

Nobody gives a poo poo about how you think video games are the proxy rape of every living female, and nobodys going to call you out if you don't throw on your white knight armor and defend digital women from the patriarchy

And if your reasoning is "I'd be embarrassed if somebody saw" then lol your playing a video game they already think your autistic

the lafemme plugin is trash, both armors are lovely looking
adamantium is ok tho
havent played siege at firemoth in forever, but afaik the fort is just a big hall full of skeletons, dumb as poo poo
entertainers is pretty pointless, i don't think i ever even seen what it does

the rest is ok i guess, propylon travel can be legit useful

I don't see why Bethesda cannot shell out the cash for a better engine, more programmers, and so on. I mean, they can cut some of the marketing budget, right? They can just say "Hey new Elder Scrolls!" and it would sell tons. gently caress they could've bought CryTek in its entirety with the money they invested in the Elder Scrolls Online.

Yeah, why can't they do that? That engine for Rage wasn't too shabby. It could've used some more work and optimizing, but it was decent. It would've been a better investment than a MMO, of which none have had much success outside of WoW and EVE, at least. I honestly think that Todd and friends are just so used to using Gamebryo that adjusting to a new engine would be far too much effort for them, so they're going to keep using their old engine even in this next gen of consoles.

yeah i get the impression there's no one with any real far reaching vision at bethesda and whilst sales are still good they have no reason not to keep just doing what they're already doing. and marketing sells games far more engine stability or game features anyway just look at overhyped poo poo like titanfall and destiny and see how it compares saleswise to [your favourite cult hit], AAA gaming is no place auetuers or visionaries (well, maybe kojima)

which would probably be hilarious at least

imagine the battle-scarred nord warrior who's been hounding your footsteps appearing at a window in dungeons sometimes like a g-man whose presence makes lettuces fly around the room, finally stepping forward to confront you, and once you find him at the bottom of the hole he fell down when he stepped forward, he announces that he will finally take his bloody revenge for that time he saw you accidentally open the lockpick minigame when you clicked on his friend's shop door at 8:59am

idk, the levers can be set to either 'on' or 'off', so im guessing maybe i need to set them in some specific pattern or order? after i pull one there's this sound after a few seconds as if something heavy is moving that is loudest near the point you enter the room, a bit further from the doors, but as i said nothing actually moves

doesnt seem as if there're any mod conflicts either, everything checks out fine

Kinda weird that Jeremy Soule didn't make a good soundtrack for that game. I guess the theme for the plant people's home was really nice, but everything else was really meh.

Also I dropped GW2 after like 40 levels as a Mesmer. poo poo wasn't worth it. Call me when they actually make all the classes fun.

Mesmer is hands down the worst class in the world to level. I actually had to ban myself from playing any other char just to get that bitch up to 80, but once I was there and had the traits its my second fav class.

e: the tea mod made by that good kicks rear end and everyone should get it because mw endgame is making the prettiest house with all the best artifacts arranged perfectly, and I don't see how that can happen if you don't have a matching tea set and tins.
