Chronicling the inability of gamedevs to make video games
I knew starfield was going to be trash but ES is something I've always loved. I still hope that the game will be at least as good as Skyrim, but even that seems too optimistic now.

The Creation Engine started out as Gamebryo which started out as NetImmerse which started out as (partially) multiplayer online RPG code.rusty_shackleford wrote: ↑ March 26th, 2024, 03:01Retroactively turning a single-player engine into a client-server architecture is impressive
What a long, strange trip it's been...

more like hammerstole
So I'd either need a mod to make every character killable, or a race change mod to change the whole game.
I need to get into modding again.

i think the main problem with hammerfell will be the terrible and boring writing.
people always joke about how bad emil and bethesda writing is but it is undeniable that there were improvements going from Oblivion to Fallout 4, with each one having slightly better or more interesting writing than the last... however Starfield obliterated all of this by having the absolute worst writing ever seen, worst quests, worst characters, least story coherence, everything about it was abominable.
no reason to think there will be a sudden improvement for hammerfell, if anything it will be worse.

It'll be a carbon copy of Black Panther. There's no way they can tell a story in that setting in the 2020s, without resorting to the tired old "We wuz Kangz, and wypipo want to steal our resources!". The fact that Hammerfall is known for having a sub saharan african and middle eastern aesthetic makes it all the more appealing for DEI, and they'll have a trump card against fans who can no longer claim 'X' is against Elder Scrolls lore, because hey, they're honouring the aesthetics of Hammerfell!. It was always there, duh!.

I haven't purchased a bethesda title since Skyrim. I just wanted another good ES game, but of course in this day and age it's too much to ask.Irenaeus wrote: ↑ March 27th, 2024, 00:24Finally, the sheeple are awaking.

WorthABuy summarized my opinion on the developer reaction to BG3 perfectly
developers from studios owned by EA, ubisoft, Sony, … saying "wahh we can't do that" is only true because yes, they can't do that, but not because they lack the funding or some magical circumstances Larian had that nobody else did. And sadly, Larian won't be able to do it again either.
This is the real reason they can't do it anymore:
And he's right that it was an attack on Larian. "How dare you?", they know games like BG3 threaten their livelihood because they simply cannot make a good product.

The Assassin's Creed: Red character reveal trailer is going to be a very fun time.
