So if I remember correctly, each of those missions was just like a one-off combat encounter. I'm envisioning a questline that leads up to each mission, with cool dungeons/areas to go through. For example you have to figure out where the courier is going to be before you can catch him. I do remember liking a prison escape quest, although I don't recall if it was a civil war one or the one for the kid from that family in Whiterun. Maybe I actually just want to play a different game than a TES game.

I agree Bethesda should stop trying it (no one is playing their games for that) but has any non-RTS ever done big full-scale battles well? Even in a newer game like AC Odyssey where having more than thirty enemies onscreen at once didn't completely melt the engine they were easily the worst part.

Some more news regarding Starfield from Todd the man himself, including a 1 hour interview with him : https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2020/11/03/bethesda-reveals-first-new-starfield-info-in-a-long-while/ Some snippets : There will be a huge overhaul of the central Creation Engine, the thing that powers most existing Bethesda RPGs. Howard says that it will be a larger jump than it was moving from Morrowind to Oblivion.... ....Starfield will be completely single player. Both Starfield and ES6 are using procedural generation for the map, which in this case is not about randomly generated terrain, but more about scale. Promises to be “much larger” than the Fallout 76 map, which is itself 4x Skyrim’s size. Cities, specifically, are mentioned as being much larger than past games.

Procédure génération sounds awful to me, but larger cities would be fantastic, it's so hard going back to skyrim cities after seeing novigrad. Hopefully they don't also make half of the quests randomly generated.

It'd be nice for the population density but I don't wanna have to wade through a pool of no name NPC's when I'm trying to find someone to give me some quests or lore or something.

I'd be 1000% fine with a poo poo ton of gameplay mods added in to Daggerfall Unity to tick all these boxes. We need Super Daggerfall.

John F Bennett posted:Some more news regarding Starfield from Todd the man himself, including a 1 hour interview with him : But still only three or four voice actors for 90% of the NPCs. And said NPCs will still have potato faces. And 90% of the quests will be boring radiant quests. I am also not sold on game worlds being huge just for the sake of being huge. Fallout 76 is a chore to travel around on foot and you just fast travel everywhere. Fast traveling costs money which for new players that cost can add up quick. It wouldn't be so bad if there were mounts/vehicles or even a reduced cost but slower taxi service (think flight paths from World of Warcraft). Though mounts were so bad in Skyrim that I never used them except for the ghost skeleton horse due to it being infinitely summonable.

Just started playing Oblivion again with that mod that turns levelling into the traditional XP system. And loving hell that's so much better than vanilla, at least with OOO and MOO installed. The first time I've ever felt like I wanted to dungeon crawl.

I hope they keep the sallout four style companions and the mod system for guns and change nearly everything else. I had completely forgotten how bad they hosed up perks and skills in that game.

I really liked the weapon modding in Fallout 4. I can't see how it would be applicable in Elder Scrolls, but I could see how you could still work with armour customization.

Anybody here a Pillars of Eternity fan? dunno if I should ask this in POE2 thread or here but it's more about TES, I think. I get the feeling the Huana are the favored faction on this forum. I also get the feeling many here hate the Stormcloaks. Both faction's main argument is self-determination. Only the Huana have abhorrent practices far beyond the discrimination we see under the Stormcloaks. The caste system and support for slavery is far and away more heinous than anything the Stormcloaks get up to. Is there anybody here who supports one and not the other? Any reason why?
