Open world Thief: The Dark Project was fun. So was Gauntlet, the journey of the retard. Also, autism sperg gamebreak mage action adventure was fun.
What's Oblivion?

Agreed, Oblivion has the best quest writing of any TES game. Morrowind and Skyrim were pretty weak in comparison. Curious.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ March 23rd, 2023, 05:42
The problem you are referring to may come from the lack of a dedicated writer during the development of Oblivion, the developers had to take on that role themselves and so they couldn't really afford to delve in deep with branching quests. Especially when they had deadlines to meet and engine troubles to iron out. Given these limitations, and how many people hold Oblivion quests in higher regard (myself included), things turned out pretty well.

If you want autism and autism only, post in the Codex. Real gamers can enjoy the simple things, and despite it's shortcomings, Oblivion is a good game. And isn't that all that matters here?.Tweed wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 03:07I thought this was Role Playing Game Head Quarters not Retarded Plebian Gamer Head Quarters.
I have been wondering if we are being targeted to send all of the Bethestards from the Codex here. I've seen more awful game related posts here in the last couple of weeks than I did in three years on the Codex.Tweed wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 03:07I thought this was Role Playing Game Head Quarters not Retarded Plebian Gamer Head Quarters.
Why should I leave when you're the one who's wrong? Go on, beat it.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 03:50I thought this forum was for those rejected by Codex, for refusing to tow the "Morrowind is God's gift to gaming" line. I see that I was wrong.
By all means, return to Codex and leave us decent gamer folk out of such nonsense. Oblivion is a damn fine game, especially with mods like "Better Cities". In fact, with such mods, Oblivion is twice, maybe three times as good as Morrowind could ever hope of being. And Daggerfall?, Oblivion with Better Cities uses Daggerfall as a wet nap.
That is to say nothing of those godawful CRPG games. Baldur's Gate?, yeah that's about as fun as doing my taxes. I struggle to even call that a video game lol.
Hey you want to know what the best CRPG game is?, it's called Microsoft Excel!. Yeah you get to make your stats, keep track of them, roleplay. It's a REAL RPG for REAL RPG gamers. Baldur's Gate IV is already on the way, but you know what they'll call it?, TurboTax 2025. WAOW, checkmate Oblivion CHUDS!.Tweed wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 04:14Why should I leave when you're the one who's wrong?

Yes, you are wrong, retard. This site is for people who were too cool to deal with the administration's faggotry over at the Codex. Not for people with shit taste in games.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 03:50I thought this forum was for those rejected by Codex, for refusing to tow the "Morrowind is God's gift to gaming" line.

How's the weather in Tel-Aviv, faggot?. Imagine being anal about a quality game because it's not autistic enough for you. The CRPG genre is the most jewish genre in gaming history. They are largely stats and numbers based, and barely have any real gameplay. It must be good training for young kikes before they enter the banking industry and inflate the money supply, and they hate masculine power fantasies because they aren't masculine. Oblivion requires at least some physical skill to play, therefore it's automatically hated by kikes like you.GhostCow wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 11:54Yes, you are wrong, retard.

I like ACTION RPGs, games with real gameplay and real fun to be had. Not spreadsheets and graphing calculators.GhostCow wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 14:51Imagine coming to a site about RPGs when you don't like them. You don't belong here.
I would, but then you'd probably pop over there to keep crying and seething about Todd too.GhostCow wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 15:03You should head over to gamefaqs. You'll find plenty of people who share your shit taste there.
The level scaling doesn't just affect the combat though but also the items you find as well as the creatures and enemies you see in the world. If the armor that random bandits wear and dungeon contents depends entirely on your level then that actively works against the world feeling believable.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 24th, 2023, 19:08The complaints of level scaling and such in Oblivion always felt like they missed the mark. I never really cared about combat in these games because it was never good to begin with.

When I saw the title, it reminded me of the goblin farm quest.
I assume they did away with it because it was just too hard to get it right and the payoff for getting it wrong is too high. Nobody will make fun of your janky AI having conversations if they simply don't have conversations at all.KnightoftheWind wrote: ↑ March 25th, 2023, 03:14You can't even say that Bethesda took these elements away in the name of simplicity, as Oblivion is just as accessible as Skyrim is and it looks better too (Skyrim NPCs look like ghouls). Perhaps the departure of Ken Rolston caused an ideological schism within the company, but Skyrim seemed to sacrifice a lot of this stuff for the sake of cinematic flair.
But Todd Howard is nothing if not inconsistent, he designs Elder Scrolls games based on his current mood at the time. So whatever is the next big thing in 2025+, he'll base ES VI on that. If it's set in 'Hammerfell', I'm excited to be able to base my char on George Floyd though just saying.
