The Dragon Quest foldouts were all top tier. Pictures of all the gears and monsters (RIP Toriyama), big world map, all a good size. Plus the instruction manual came with like a gamefaqs walkthrough for the few few dungeons, lol.

like years and years ago i got a complete set of Wing Commander games on ebay for like $20 and they had all the documentation including poo poo like blueprints, and ship magazines written in-universe. it was sick

Right when Skyrim first came out, Amazon had a sale where you could buy all 5 Elder Scrolls games for $15 very briefly, like in a nice case that came with all the maps. I think most of the discs just kicked off installing the games through Steam but it was fun to convince myself I was going to play Arena for a couple of hours.

Been playing Link Between Worlds before bed and I'm amazed this hasn't been ported to Switch

It was awesome having a brief period of time when you could play every Zelda game as long as you had both a 3DS and a Wii U. I hope they port more over to the Switch, there's really no reason it can't handle stuff like the Windwaker sequels.

Wasn't there a bunch of drama about a Nexus Oblivion mod that rebuilt Kvatch but also had a bunch of horny stuff in it and the creator melted down when people tried to strip the horny parts out and deleted it? I may be misremembering some of the details.

I think that's the one I was thinking of, lol. I remember it happened right around the time I was replaying Oblivion and it was suddenly hard to find any of the mods I'd used because everything got splintered off by some kind of mod creator civil war.

Cyberpunk 2077 feels like it was a good game that got rushed into being not as good, but I'll probably still play the next Witcher game.

After Fallout 4, I think I sort of gave up on Bethesda. I actually still enjoyed it, it's just that the Oblivion charm gets a little thinner with each of their releases, I don't have time to install a zillion mods to get a game to actually function, and it's clear they are never going to fix their creaky engine. I'll be happy if they have some kind of transcendent resurgence with ES6 but it just doesn't seem likely.

Yeah, the hot takes, everything is either the best or the worst game ever made, "Nintendo MUST fix this one issue in the next Zelda game!!" clickbait stuff makes it all totally insufferable, because everyone in the space has to compete with that and end up writing their own version of it and trying to develop some weird persona. Even E3 got so dire and boring toward the end that it felt like a mercy-killing when it died. Just about the only ways that I enjoy interacting with video games anymore are playing them or posting about them in the Imp Zone.

I missed Morrowind and just assume it's the best in the series but that it's hard to go backwards with Bethesda games.

I think Oblivion is better than Skyrim, but I admittedly played Oblivion with mods and Skyrim without them. I think the jank/charm thing is right, but it's sort of hard to defend that, lol. I just know that I never did all of the quests in Skyrim, but I had a file in Oblivion where I finished everything and then went and sat on the Madness throne in the Shivering Isle before saving, and to be honest and to give it to Godd Howard, it was deeply satisfying in a way that few games since have been. If I had an absolute eternity and an ability to duplicate my mod set up, I'd do it again.

Like, Skyrim had a ton of intentional easter eggs, but a ton of the smaller quests felt like the joke quest in Oblivion where that guy in the Shivering Isles asks you to find 100 tongs, and the bugs, while funny, were not as funny as stuff like "Every file you have, at least one pair of Imperial Hunter guys accidentally shoot each other enough times that they get locked in an eternal battle of shooting arrows into each other's shields."

Oblivion is only better than Skyrim if its modded to take out the level scaling system.

That system sucks and makes it easy to build a character that just gets weaker and weaker throughout the game.

This is true but it was very easy to do. Well it would be except that once you install a leveling mod, you suddenly want the mod for house map markers, better UI, making the glass armor look a little less like it came from Nickelodeon's Aggro Craig, bigger elf bazongas, and so on until the number of mods makes everything even jankier, crazier, and more Oblivion.
