most of the races that are not Altmer are not absolute abomination usually…but really Altmer and Dominion in general is epitome of retardation
Most books are meh instead of bad, there are some neat metaphysics related to White Gold but it's pretty simplistic mostly
Main problem is that majority of faction quests are retarded lore breaking shit, main quest is absolute dogshit with shittiest ending ever and that there are a lot of minor lore details they just ignored
Honestly I feel like TESO is a retarded kid in school that tries to write well, sometimes he will write a semi-decent sentence, but then he will just shit on his hand and smear it over the paper
Anonymous 10/23/14 (Thu) 22:09:26 No. 1945
>>1933 Coldharbour was decent, Molag Bals redesign was not, Mannimarcos association with him was done poorly.
Vampirism is decent and I think to the lore standard but isn't integrated in a truly immerse manner or inclusive manner and seems underpowered even though it's supposed to be the first one that came to be, not to mention the siring mechanic has created literal lycan/vampire prostitution markets, which literally kills the immersion, in addition to killing a key concept about vampirism in regards to propagation of the disease because constantly breeding results in a weaker bloodline in most cases, there's no penalties for picking weak players and no way to make it so that you should be careful on who you pick to sire and the cooldown time for siring.
the Imperial City still does not show evidence of being part Ayleid architecture, STILL.
The artstyle is still out of place in contrast with the other TES games overall.
Magic has been done better than any prior TES games it's no longer that Target, self, and touch shit, but that AND actual shit that get's creative and diverse in it's deployment on par with D&D game spellcasting.
The animations for everything in the game are far too unrealistic and toon-like which unfortunately are intensified by the art-style collaboratively.
The Creature rooster is hit and miss with the Prior lore content and new content which have enemies that look like they belong in different games entirely or ones that bring up lore related inquiries that no one should really have to bring up at all.
There are things that are too frequent in the era it's set in placed around the world in addition to things that shouldn't be common in the era, or easy to acquire, and the lack of locations that give substance and life to the world conflicts with the dispersal of NPC's and PC's that litter the world.
For example, enemies on roads may not even have camps or evidence of being present at a location, some don't evenhave schedules or daily living patterns and the like.
Like, you see people EVERYWHERE, like Tamriel has that high an overall living population when the presence of civilization is barely evident throughout the land beyond cities and large settlements, there needs to be more worlds in the came with server caps to reflect the dispersal of races and populations amongst the provinces.
A.I needs work, adds to the great lifeless ness at hand, and of course daedric invasion and scripted battles a shit.
Also Daedra are used up the ass and they don't seem as overbearing on the world, like when you come across them "Oh, just another day in TES:O I guess."
No, fuck that, make it so that people have NOT A CLUE what they are doing as to not kill the purpose of exploration in the game, take away the spoonfeeding and give less information on doing particular ingame things, kill off spoonfeeding and the playerbase will become better people for it.
They'll still play, it's a fucking TES game and an MMO for fucks sakes, you've already reeled them in that much.
Also, a lack of racial variation stemming back to older titles is an issue at hand and the frequency of uncommon things, like non hostile undead that talk to you, and coming across and conversing with otherwise less than reputable NPCs kills immersion greatly.
Like, why the fuck would I find dark brotherhood members in broad daylight in attire not even hiding?

In Skyrim you could marry anyone but it didn't have to be canon, it was just an ingame option for the lesbian furfag waifu custom race type of player. What they did in TESO suggests the social justice warriors had their hand in the game.

>>2889 >>2895 It's just the way they present it that looks like Thalmor propaganda: by having a male character casually referencing another male character as "my husband" with a straight face. It really stinks of typical "normalization" tactics to me.
I'm not saying there aren't homos in the other Elder Scrolls games. There's Crassius Curio and his weird perversions, the dead son of the Fighters Guild leader in Oblivion and the two dead male Nords on Solstheim who seem to have been more than just friends. And of course the god Vivec is a shapeshifting fertility god and so naturally has sex with lots of weird otherworldly beings. Those games have "homosexual" behavior, but it isn't "forced" the way Thalmors do it.
Anonymous 11/15/14 (Sat) 22:02:01 No. 2906
>>2902 I don't get it though. Not trying to be a dick here, but: How is having someone mention their husband casually supposed to be MORE forced than a bisexual, bigender fertility god that fucks Daedra? Or blatantly gay Crassius, or the guy who makes you strip and kiss him in Morrowind?
I understand that like, this whole board pretty much grew as a reaction to Thalmors in video games, but I can't help but feel like you're being a bit paranoid. It would be one thing if ES added in dialogue or narratives like "OH IT'S SO GREAT THAT THE SKYRIM GOVERNMENT RECENTLY FOUGHT BACK AGAINST THE RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE OF TALOS WORSHIPPERS AND BEGAN PROTECTING MY GAY RELATIONSHIP" but they don't do anything like that. They just have gay characters, and they don't really have anything else that suggests they're being influenced by Thalmors.
I think you might be just…too ready to see Thalmor influence in video games, and you're seeing it when it's not really there.

Anonymous 11/16/14 (Sun) 01:59:53 No. 2914
>>2913 1. But gay marriage isn't really completely peculiar to the contemporary world.
2. Even if it were, there are other things peculiar to the contemporary world present in ES. You'll note the world doesn't have the rigidly defined gender roles you'd expect of a medieval setting, and there is an awful lot of religious tolerance.
3. Gay marriage is not really the work of Thalmors. There is a difference between Thalmors and 'all non-conservative people.'
3. And there's actually no reason for there to not be something from the contemporary world. Or, really, there's no reason to expect ES to have anything like the social mores of the middle ages on earth. There's a completely different level of technology, there's magic, the laws of physics aren't the same, they worship a pagan pantheon that regularly speaks to the population, there's a rival Daedric pagan pantheon that people also worship, people can become gods by half a dozen methods that are RECORDED, and so on. Their beliefs are going to be all over the place, and at some points they're going to intersect with modern beliefs.
It seems more to me like you so closely associate gay marriage with Thalmors that you automatically assume, any time it shows up anywhere, that they must have had something to do with it.
Anonymous 11/16/14 (Sun) 02:41:58 No. 2917
>>2914 The only case that I can recall in all of history, other than the contemporary world, is decadent Roman emperors claiming to be married to their catamites. However it is unlikely that this was treated as a true marriage by the ancient, strict and complex Roman marriage law.
Also it's more than conservative people who opposed gay marriage, a ban against it was actually passed in California of all places, but activist judges demanded it not be enforced.
There is an actual strategy to promoting gay marriage and winning support for it, and it is essentially a manufactured consensus like all the other social justice causes. Presenting it as perfectly normal in video games would be the same sort of move as presenting transsexual "die cis scum" type behavior as perfectly normal in a video game: it is an attempt by the Thalmor video game lobby to impose their ideology on young male gamers who normally either oppose it or don't care one way or the other.

Personally, I think trying to make a true TES game set in Valenwood, Black Marsh, or Summerset is futile. Just read The Argonian Account or A Dance In the Fire – could an open-world game based on these provinces really be successful? I think not.
If I were a rational developer with good time-management and planning abilities (as in, not Bethesda) and I was tasked with setting an Elder Scrolls game in Valenwood or Black Marsh, I would turn away from open-world-wrpg and instead make an action-rpg in the vein of Deus Ex, Bloodlines, or Dark Messiah.

Should the entire lore be ignored though? there seems to be a huge bulk that we are missing should we choose to disregard it all.

>>4826 No, most of the people who care about lore are going through it with a fine toothed comb to decide which should be on the garbage bin and which should be kept. This is causing yet another round of bullshit as ESO has a number of interesting books that explicitly references Kirkblade's writing and retards insist that we throw out its obvious meaning because dey no liek kurkburd

>>5058 Nearly all the content, aside from the civil war battles of course, is single-player orientated. There's only one optional group dungeon in each zone, with a few more end-game ones. You used to be able to solo these by just over-leveling yourself but they scale now; so if you really want to run them you'll just have to spend a few minutes in the group finder. Or just not do them, they don't contribute anything to the main quest.
That being said, if you do wish to play socially, there's plenty of players and the game is well enough active, especially since b2p. Cyrodill battles are actually really impressive and fairly epically scaled. Standing on a battlement wall as a hundred or so of your Pactmates shoot siege weaponry at a rushing zerg of enemies is really satisfying. And the leveling is done in such a way that everyone can be effective on the battlefield.
It's actually a pretty fun an relaxing game. I despise the whole MMO progression system of leveled zones, and the whole racial alliances thing still doesn't make much sense, but ehh whatever, could be a whole lot worse. I think it's the best MMORPG that's been made, but that's not saying much considering how terrible that genre is.

Personally, I don't post where there are filters because I disagree with censorship in general.
However, I am definitely enjoying the Oblivion mod thread, which is very helpful.

Not to play devil's advocate, but come on man, at least 3/4ths of that shit is flat out not true. Everyone has their opinion, but you are doing some serious nit-picking.

Uh, what exactly about it isn't true?
These are my exact experiences playing the game. I'm not going to pretend it was good game just because it has TES in the title.

Lets fucking hope so. I'm thinking if Bethesda has any Nord honor and they aren't a bunch of monye-grubbing kikes, they'll pick out the few good books, add whatever little bits of lore are good and dismiss the whole thing as a myth that may-or may-not have happened in those dark days in the 2nd era.

That's kind of how I treat it as an active player, anyways. We know that thanks to the Dragon Break and whatnot, all this shit gets kind of nullified.
As for the war? Because Talos happened.

Not true. Maybe back around release, sure. But combat feels much smoother now.
>running away from enemies almost never works
Personal experience, I've had no problems. Maybe you need to lay off the sweet rolls, kek. Or just not run away in heavy armor.
>lock on arrows/magic and, like, a meter range
Okay, you're right on that one. But That's fairly balanced out by charging attacks to close gaps and all that.
>atmosphere is shit, barely even feels like Tamriel. Land is smothered with shit happening everywhere, Zenimax didn't even try to make the world feel big
Bull. Shit. If they've done well in any area, it's the environment. IDK if you just played in one zone you didn't like, or have retarded standards, but every zone is unique and genuinely feels like it belongs.
>Liked exploring cities in TES? Well every city in a province looks the same
With you on that, to a point. The cities in individual zones could use some different styles and whatnot, but consistency isn't always a bad thing.
>quests are awful, repetitive, and uninteresting you just want them to end. Though you basically have to suffer through every boring second if you want to level up at all
Again, horseshit. Some are silly/dull, yeah, especially in EP zones. But to blow all of them off without actually going and doing them is retarded, and you know that.
>main quest is fucking level based so I never even got to finish that shit, but from what I played, it was nothing special. Pretty much Oblivion 2: The Prequel
So?
>muh strong female characters
You mean like every goddman ES game so far? It's a fantasy world where badasses come in all races, creeds, and both genders.
>the dialogue is absolutely useless seeing as you're always given a single response (Zenimax forgot who the most important character is). You'll find yourself skipping everything npcs say
Why would you do that? Sounds like you're just impatient.
>I don't even think roleplaying is possible in this game
The vibrant and healthy RP community would like to disagree with you, especially the fine folks of TESO-rp. (http://www.teso-rp.com/home )
>4 classes
Yeah, that can get boring. But you don't even have to use your class skills. They might add more, who knows.
>exploration is impossible unless you spend hours leveling yourself up (which is fucking boring)
Yes and no. You can still go straight to zones that have higher level enemies than yourself, and explore. You just have to be a bit more careful.
>book-lore is for the most part fine but most of the in-game lore is absolute ass (fucking Auridon, holy shit)
Might have to be a bit more specific there.
>game has been out for a year; still consists of only about 50% of Tamriel
Agreed. (Content supposedly coming SoonTM after console release cools down.)
>If you think they fucked up Mannimarco in Oblivion, they buried him in this game. Mine as well name him EVIL ELF WIZARD OF DARKNESS. Truly saddening
Yeah, but he's a fetcher, so who cares?

Well I'm certainly not going back to try it out
>Personal experience, I've had no problems. Maybe you need to lay off the sweet rolls, kek. Or just not run away in heavy armor.
Enemies with swords have ridiculous reach, and you can't dodge arrows. It basically makes it so that you mine as well fight to death than take your chances running away.
>But That's fairly balanced out by charging attacks to close gaps and all that.
Balanced or not it's still retarded
>Bull. Shit. If they've done well in any area, it's the environment. IDK if you just played in one zone you didn't like, or have retarded standards, but every zone is unique and genuinely feels like it belongs.
The world looks plastic,unnatural, and over saturated, at least the areas I explored. All the little world spaces barely even felt connected to each other, unique does not necessarily mean good. It does not capture TES exploration. And I swear to god every small town I came across was infested with ghosts or creatures or something. Not that any of those towns even felt real anyways.
>but consistency isn't always a bad thing
Suck Zenimax's dick harder. Next you'll be calling me an entitled gamer.
>Again, horseshit. Some are silly/dull, yeah, especially in EP zones. But to blow all of them off without actually going and doing them is retarded, and you know that.
I did do the quests because the game literally requires you to do them . I stopped when I realized I wasn't having fun no matter what quest I was doing.
>So?
I'd rather not be forced to level up in order to continue the main story. I'd also prefer that the main story not be shit.
>You mean like every goddman ES game so far? It's a fantasy world where badasses come in all races, creeds, and both genders.
There's a fine line between having a women character who happens to be strong, and using a fucking retarded trope made to help women feel better about themselves, yay . THIS GAYM PROOVZ WUMEN R JUS AS STRUNG AS MEN .
>Why would you do that? Sounds like you're just impatient.
Not going to listen to uninteresting and inconsequential dialogue, especially when I only get one response anyways. I've got other boring quests to do.
>The vibrant and healthy RP community would like to disagree with you, especially the fine folks of TESO-rp. (http://www.teso-rp.com/home )
I meant more along the lines of keeping your own character mentality and goals.
>But you don't even have to use your class skills.
4 fruitless classes that are all mages
>Yes and no. You can still go straight to zones that have higher level enemies than yourself, and explore. You just have to be a bit more careful.
Except there's almost nothing to do in these areas if your not at the right level. And it's just plain annoying to try an avoid these creatures, still hindering exploration.
