Obsidian's Oblivion was the vanilla campaign of Neverwinter Nights 2. But unlike Bethesda it didn't signal a creative death spiral and just turned out to be an anomaly.

NWN2 was p decent tho? I wouldnt put it in the same category as shitass bitchshow Oblibion

the kwama actually look better imo but that scrib is disgusting

Also they still don't look at all like examples of the same species

lol, they're awful

the morrowind kwama are cool and weird, the warrior is a worker flipped around with a forager inserted into it's 'head', which suggests some freaky anatomy and lifecycle. tho I gotta agree, I only recently realised that the scrib are supposed to be the same species.

these are just boring humanoids with bugfaces. wow, much original, etc.

honestly idg how can anyone look at other games in the series and not think that morrowind was a giant fluke that has zero chance of ever happening again. every game since has been pushing to imitate lotr as close as possible, every even remotely interesting piece of lore has been retconned or ignored. because see, what people want from fantasy is wander around european deciduous forests and shoot fireballs at dragons (tbh, that's probably what people actually want).

Pyandonea has the potential of being morrowind 2, since its an island populated by weird elves ruled by an immortal god-king. or maybe Morrowind during the war of the first council (playable dwemer anyone?). or something based on Kirkbride's 5th era stuff with time travelling cyberelves and fantasy space exploration. or do something interesting with argonians, who're supposed to be these sexually ambiguous weirdos perpetually high on sentient tree sap.

But lol, never gonna happen

The Sharmat posted:

I think Morrowind 2 would just see Bethesda poorly aping the most shallow characteristics of the setting (giant bugs and mushrooms everywhere) while totally missing what really made it good in the first place.

its cool i'll go to that tomb by the lake with the veloth shrine inside

I realise that ur coming from teso, but c'mon

you can:
buy / steal potions
buy / steal scrolls (restore str is on scrolls I think)
learn spell
enchant a pair of pants to infallibly cast restore str
eat alchemy ingredients with restore str

all of the above but fortify str

all of the above but feather

The Sharmat posted:

my only problem with Tel Uvirith is that there's no fast travel from it and it's in the middle of nowhere. If it had a silt strider it would be perfect. They should have added a quest to get fast travel to the strongholds. Like a boat on the Odai river for the Hlaalu one, a silt strider for the Redoran one, and some kinda magic teleport thingy to Sadrith Mora or something for Telvanni.

I honestly don't mind lack of fast travel that much. I set up a permanent mark in the lower bedroom and that's pretty much enough for me. I just want some place to put my ancient tomes and glowing swords that's not the floor. There's one shelf and like two tables in the entire magical stronghold of a big important Telvanni wizard, for Vivec's sake.

I wish that most of the texture people would pay more attention to keeping the art style intact. Better Heads is bad because while you can count all the polygons on the vanilla heads, they had a lot of artistic character and feeling to them. Better Heads on the other hand are just scans of celebrity faces plastered onto Morrowind meshes, and they look gay as hell.

What was the consensus on whether or not C0DA, and other out of game materials by Kirkbride, are considered a canon part of the TES lore? On one hand Kirkbride is the king of TES lore but on the other hand he is loving nuts and doesn't work for Bethesda anymore.
