Taking Arthmoor's assertion that the gates don't go away as a given:

Seriously, though, aren't the gates made of the same stuff as daedric weapons? This makes them a valuable resource. If anything, the gates would have been destroyed in short order.

In any case: And there should be farms with daedric stone walls. I imagine the Nords would have the same solution as New England farmers and smash the drat things to get them out of the way and make low boundary walls out of them. Two hundred years later, you'd have fully-developed forests where farms had been abandoned and you could conceivably stumble across a lucrative, if heavy, daedric stone wall that you could haul off and use to make arms and armor.

Well, they'd be made of Ebony with Deadra souls slapped in them, so yeah that would be pretty drat valuable.

Of course, this all hinges on Arty being correct that the only reason oblivion gates closed was because Bethesda -wanted- them to stay standing but couldn't ~figure out how to do it~ and that's the most ridiculous loving assertion I think I've ever heard about anything.

My favorite Flowerchild story is the one where he declared war against Technic and then he and his mod became irrelevant and Technic paved the way for the legitimization of easy-to-acquire mod packs.

My favorite Flowerchild Story is that he deliberately made his mod as incompatible as possible so that no one could play his masterpiece of wolf murder in any way he didn't intend.

He did this against the rising tide of Mod packs and Player-adjustable configs while doubling down on his strange Wolf-torture and animal BDSM shticks, ensuring that he offered the most unappealing choice on all fronts.

He did the exact same thing when he started modding Kerbal Space Program, too, even going so far as to revamp the tech tree in a manner that made it so there was one and exactly one "correct" way of progressing, so narrowly-defined that if you did things in any other way, unlocked techs or visited planets in any other order than the one he decreed, you were basically screwed and had to restart because there wouldn't be enough science available to unlock what you need.

You forgot the one-sided rows he had with the devs when they wouldn't listen to his suggestions.

(He would ban you for making suggestions for his mods on his own forums)

Of course, any good tribe keeping you hostage as a living bloodbag have the foresight to also keep you very drugged so you can't kill yourself to gain freedom and actually play the game.

yes in a game where you can harvest people's organs to sell on the market, make clothes and items out of human skin and eat the corpses of people you've skinned, the fact that an incomplete romance system was being blown out of proportion by a gaming rag that lost its credibility years ago is the end of the world.

I mean to be fair backer bios are essentially mods that people paid the developer to include in the base game. There's no quality control (have you played Prison Architect? Same problem).

The lack of 'quality control' on backer rewards always puzzles me. Someone has to actually go through those submissions to transfer them to the game, you'd honestly think it not that hard to shoot an email to someone telling them 'No, we're not going to add your Nazi OC or some poo poo about how you have issues with women, pick something else you loving grog'.

I don't understand why Bethesda insists on having kids in their games and then making them the most insufferable kids ever.

Children 1) exist and 2) are actually annoying 99% of the time.

However, none of their game inclusions have been so annoying as to justify the fixation of murdering them.

silentsnack posted:

Generally I'd guess that the reason people want to kill kids in games is probably the fact that it is somewhat annoying to be given 'freedom' in a sandbox game, and then having that freedom=fun logic derailed by arbitrary rules you don't necessarily agree with, because that breaks the illusion of freedom. Yes it is basically a "but my immersion!" complaint, but try to remember that people are irrational (despite the cognitive bias that makes them think they are being objective and rational) and negative emotional reactions are almost always very disproportionate to the cause, and in this case the immersion is the idea "this is a game that lets you do pretend to be whoever you want and do whatever you want for fun, so by playing it you are having fun!"

I think if your enjoyment of a game is being kneecapped by the fact that you can't murder children for being in it, you need to stop playing video games and talk to a professional.

It's clearly untrue because Tale of Two Wastelands exists and would violate that policy. Tale of Two Wastelands requires both games to be installed but it doesn't read the files from one directory to the other, it copies them to a shared directory and uses that instead.

That doesn't make it untrue, it just means there is an aspect at play here we aren't privy to.

Consider it thoughtfully for a moment, the options for 'untrue' are...

The FO4/3 team are lying with really nothing at all to gain in the slightest

or Bethesda is lying to them about there being an issue but 1) Why would they bother lying when they have any number of legitimate rights muscles to flex and 2) That still kills the project in it's boots anyway, unless you wanna take them to court to prove it isn't true??
