deus ex is absolutely an rpg. it meets both definitions of rpg: 1. your character has an inventory that you have to manage and 2. it has swords

So, Fallout 2 is an RPG, but Fallout 1 isn't. Got it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Fitting that a space game by Bethesda has a puddle of wealth you can dip your toes into and receive mountains of loot

I'm sure the Bethesda loyalists will be saying thank you goddess while the loot ot hits their faces

There's a puddle outside of new Atlantis that you can crouch down and loot a vendor's inventory box. It'll give you a bunch of poo poo you can just keep waiting 48 hours and continuously get more and more poo poo

They would have to rewrite and rebuild it from scratch because nothing in Morrowind plays or feels like any of the newer games. The dialogue system? Total overhaul. Map design? Lol, total overhaul, nobody would put up with the bullshit of vivec city nowadays. And of course all the mechanics are dangerously uNbAlAnCeD

The laser sword that clearly extends like a light saber still takes up it's full extended size in the inventory. <:mad:>

It's a new engine as in it's been spray painted a different color


But it's the same crappy engine that has taken them from daggerfall to ESO.

it's more about the experimental and weird spirit of the game that seems like it would be tough for them to recreate (remake or not)

im going to sign up to help the skywind people if they need any sound design or music. maybe ill try some voice work too.

if you have any relevent nerd skills and want to see the closest thing to a morrowind remaster we're ever going to get, you should help out too! https://tesrskywind.com/

Its an iteration of the Creation Engine, which was used for FO4, Skyrim, and FO76, Starfield is using Creation Engine 2.

Yeah every decade or so they change the name of their engine, but it's still the same codebase under the hood.

Starfield uses Creation Engine 2 which is, unsurprisingly, an iteration of the Creation Engine (Skyrim, FO4, FO76), and Creation Engine is a fork of the Gamebryo Engine (Morrowind, Oblivion, FO3). Despite Morrowind being old enough to drink a lot of the same engine quirks from that game are still present in Starfield because if you dig deep enough it's all still using the same code.

At least bottom of the barrel Unity games can have cars and ladders in them. Forbidden technology, in Toddslands.

have there been any ladders that aren't inside a ship? i can't recall any, but maybe i subconsciously ignore them and just boost up, since the boost pack is one of the few features they really nailed
