Gamecube was the last Nintendo console I bought and probably will be, for all time.

The Switch is powered by mobile technology!

The others are at least slightly customized, Atari probably means that they're literally PCs with off-the-shelf parts.

They took the only good thing from the series post the first game (the fast, frantic combat) and replaced it with boring, slow, methodical combat.

Kratos was in a lot of different places in the trailer and seemed to play a big role in the story so it looks unlikely. It looks like they're doing a total 180 on his characterization, though.

My fav was Thrall deciding that what he really needed was a son around the same time that Chris Metzen had a kid. Metzen is too good for this world.

He seems like he is no longer too angry to die so I'd say his deific plot armor has expired.

What's really funny, considering the company's situation over the last decade, is that "Atari" describes a game-state where you have no moves left.

Dadgames have a much better track record compared to dudegames. Twee teen games are 100% unassailable, however.

Okay I decided to start playing Morrowind for the first time ever. Everyone walks like they poo poo their pants!

What are some:
- General good tips for a first-timer like me?
- Recommended mods? Quality of life stuff mostly, such as item ownership indicators so I know when I'm stealing or not. I'm not interested in things that improve graphics or whatever, though I will take anything that gives me more resolutions/ARs
- Recommended races, classes, skills?
- Races, classes and skills to avoid?

For reference the only games I've played so far that are remotely close to this are Fallouts 1 - 3 and NV.

Playing Morrowind in 2017 sounds like a recipe for pain. It was painful enough for me playing it in 2003.

It's a 2DS with the New hardware model and it looks pretty sweet. If I didn't have a N3DS already I'd probably buy one.

they are walking with virtue, outlander

IMO the most fun & useful class would have most of the magic skills, but with a weapon skill instead of Destruction and maybe Heavy Armor instead of Unarmored. Do all your fighting with Bound Weapons.

The simplest starter is a redguard with long swords as a major skill since it lets you actually hit stuff reliably out of the gate. Also take endurance as a main stat, with the birthsign that raises it further. You can pretty much get through the game with just that, take whatever else to taste.

I didn't know it had the New stuff, that makes it a lot less weird and dumb. Still seems a bit silly to save $30 and deny yourself of even having the option of using the 3D, like the 3D is well done in some stuff and it's cool to turn it on every now and then.

probably depends what you play though, I guess the N2DSXL would be perfect for the Picross and puzzle game crowd

The absurdly common cliff racers will be your worst enemy and the combat sucks a big fat one. Have fun!

enchant a something with a cheapo 5 second levitation enchantment the instant you fill a petty soulstone

get your enchantment skill up in general since they're waaaaay more useful than spells in morrowind (100% chance of success, regenerate charge over time)

also if you enchant something with a telekinesis spell with a bit of distance you can stealth around a corner and loot shopkeepers blind with no consequences

just don't talk to them while you have their entire inventory shoved down your pants they'll get upset
