>>4596 Close but no dice.
The Ayleids were just hiding for some reason, and this Ayleid made a fake Chim el Adabel and time travel shenanigans to become emperor of Tamriel. Luckily, you make your own copy of the Chim el Adabel and armed with it and Pelinels heart (which the author fails to realise is the actual Chim el adabel) you stop him.
Also the Ayleid boss has Sotha sil's armour for some reason (Yes he thinks it's armour) and somehow uses it to time travel.
On top of being hilariously lore breaking, it also has bugs up the ass and terrible voice acting from 12 year olds.
Also it breaks balance by letting you have an army of 64 knights following you.

… I'm pretty sure there's already a mod for that. Or rather, it's part of a larger pregnancy mod which clocks female characters fertility cycles, and if they're not already marked as pregnant - they get the "Bloody Rag" item added to their inventory.
Though I feel that mod won't really be complete without a way to feed those menstrual rags to Serana as a way of explaining how she can stay with the Dawnguard without having to drink fresh blood from living people.

This isn't just about this video. There's lots of fetchers on this board who think they could make a better TES by saying 'better quests' and 'better combat' a thousand times, without giving even the slightest insight as to what they think would improve stuff.
For example, if I'd want to improve combat, I'd increase armor rating and decrease heath of most enemies, so destruction magic sucks less (cause it bypasses armor, but even bandit chiefs have low armor rating), physical damage is about the same and the armor-bypassing perks for maces and warhammers become good. Bam, combat improvement.

I have always felt that a more strategic aspect to gear selection is the single biggest possible improvement to combat. For example heavy armour in all but the lowest tears should be immune to cutting damage regardless of amourrating. This would actually make heavy amour better than light armour and give players a reason to use axes/blunt weapons. I would also like to see different types of arrows like broadheads for lightly amoured foes and bodkins for heavy amour with a decreased damage.

This is a dumb idea, as it will effectively force you to use blunt weapons, and you should know that even back in medieval times people still used swords against people in armor because if you hit a dude in the head with a sword that weights up to 8 pounds it's going to mash their skull even if they have got a helmet on.
Most of the damage from medieval type swords (which are the ones the TES are based on) as apposed to renaissance rapiers (and the fencing swords in your pic) was from the weight of them, coupled with slashing, rather than piercing.
I think any move that shoe-horns you as the player into using certain equipment (by making certain types non-viable) is bad both from a role play point of view and a fun/variety point of view.

iron and steel would still still be vulnerable to swords, which unless beth fucks up the leveling again is what most enemies will wear. also the point of this idea is to force the player to strategically pick their load out. remember that a sword has traditionally been a side arm to larger weapon like a poleaxe or spear. finaly the average weight of a medieval onehanded sword was 2 1/2 - 3 pounds not 8 which is the same weight as a rapier. the swords in pic were fencing foils the training swords for the 18th century small sword and just to illustrate my point

I think weapons and armors should have embeded properties to them, expanding on what they added in skyrim.
Like maces have a chance to stun your oponent (when crits), they do heavy damage to heavy armors (Degrading them faster than other weapons) yet do almost no damage against light armors (almost no degrading). When blocking with a blunt weapon you "absorb" more damage with it, they also degrade the slowest of all weapon types. They're mostly clunky and slow but have great damage output yet a low chance for scoring criticals; they can be used to knock an enemy unconcious on sneak mode or with a certain perk or something like that.
Swords are great for piercing light armor, they swing fast and have the best range of all melee weapons, they do average damage on all sorts of armor, they degrade somewhat fast but are easy to repair and temper. They're shit for blocking but great for parrying.
Daggers are pretty much the same as swords but faster and with a greater base chance for criticals, they do the least damage and work better against enemies with light or no armor, they do not degrade armor very much and poisons applied to them have a 50% of lasting two hits instead of one. Criticals guaranteed while unseen.
Axes are a compromise between swords and blunt in terms of damage and speed, they're not very good for blocking or parrying but they may inflict bleed damage to compensate and have a critical chance higher than both swords and blunt. They inflict slightly more damage to heavy armors than swords but the same to light armors.
As far as armor is concerned, shit like heavy shields wouldn't give a fuck about arrows and thrown weapons. Steel and Iron armors are cheap as fuck to repair and temper, Dwemer's fucking heavy but offers a tiny resist magicka % and takes enchantments like a champ, Orc shit is like elite steel that barely degrades. Ebony and glass are great for enchaning too, better than dwemer, specially to resist fire and shit.
And Daedric armor? shit son they make your enemies shit their greaves or something, i don't know.

You're not responding to what I actually said, let me reiterate:
> forcing players to use certain types of equipment by making some types literally do no damage to (even just some) armor is dumb, from a pure enjoyment point of view I should be able to use a sword or mace or whatever I want ad it should still be viable in game, and while we're at it bring back hand to hand as a skill!
> Swords are not traditionally a side arm (at least not usually) of course you can find cases where this did happen, but it isn't the norm and it doesn't prove your point. For a start how could a two handed sword (that really can weight 8 pounds, I wasn't lying) ever be considered a "side arm".
> The swords in Elder Scrolls are NOT the slashing/piercing swords you are saying would be useless against armor. Medieval type swords are a heavy piece of metal, and they're designed that way so they wreck armored enemies just from kinetic force. If you really think hitting someone as hard as you can with a heavy lump of metal isn't going to hurt them because they have armor on you're insane. It may not cut through the armor but it will probably deform it and break the bones underneath.
> the reason swords evolved into the fencing swords was because people STOPPED wearing armor because of guns. People stopped wearing armor because it is pointless against a gun and its better to be able to move freely, so swords went back to being lighter-weight slashing and stabbing weapons.
> the pint about "strategically pick loadout" works for a game like mount and blade, but not Elder Scrolls, its an RPG, not a combat sim, it has magic for pete's sake. Even if we were to wrongly say swords are no good against armor it would still be dumb to implement it like that in game. It's not going to be fun, or viable to force the player to carry several different weapons around.
> its also silly to say swords can never damage say Ebony armor, as you can obviously use an ebony sword! So it makes sense to keep the low-level weapons do little damage, high level weapons do more damage. To all intents and purposes if you're in full high quality heavy armor you are already effectively invulnerable to low level weapons, and vice versa.
I also notice in your earlier post you suggested axes should be better against armor than swords, this is clearly nonsense as an axe is a pure slashing weapon, most of them have a wooden haft, that is going to break if you hit something hard enough, unlike a metal sword.
>>8690
I agree with this up to a point, but I think the way to go is to give different materials different enchanting potentials (we've been talking about this in another thread so I'll try NOT to just repeat it all).
So the "mundane" materials like Steel are just rubbish for enchanting, and the more "magical" materials (Daedric) have greater enchanting potential. And things like glass would be better for fire, stalharim for ice, and so on.
They should also bring back weapon degradation, and have it so Steel, Iron degrade slower than the higher level armors, and also have enchanted armors be harder to repair (as was a little bit the case in ES4).
I think messing with the basic properties of weapons more than was in the case in ES5 isn't a good idea. Again, we want to retain as much variety and freedom for the player as possible, so don't make certain weapon types too niche or less practical in game.
Again, not sure why you think axes should be good against armor (they're terrible at it, especially compared to a sword) but this is irrelevant! We don't want to make certain weapons useless against certain types of enemies.
It makes much more sense to keep the current better-quality-weapons-do-more-damage, as this effectively achieves what you want anyway:
When you're high level in high level armor you are already practically invulnerable to enemies with rubbish weapons, and vice versa.
And this makes sense - an ebony weapon will be able to damage ebony armor and so on.
Like I said, there is another thread somewhere where we have got into this in quite a bit more details so maybe move it there if you want to continue this?

Wrong. HEMAfag here, and you are fucking wrong. Your average one-handed sword, was in fact a sidearm, even if it was in a purely military context initially- later on, as swords became more common among civilians, they eventually ended up a standard of a gentleman's outfit. And yes, this happened roughly in the 13th-14th century, just prior to the Renaissance, so they were "medieval" swords. It was all the rage in countries like Italy, Germany, and on occasion England, the latter at one point having a piece of legislature called the Assize of Arms, which stated that, by law, every man was required to own a weapon, as afforded by his station- essentially, whatever he could afford.
>The swords in Elder Scrolls are NOT the slashing/piercing swords you are saying would be useless against armor.

Fucking. WRONG. Your average one-handed medieval sword weighed in about 2 1/2 pounds, some lighter, some a little heavier. Your average "longsword" (a sword generally intended for two hands with a long blade) weighed in about 3 pounds, the heavier ones weighing in at about 4- the same as a rapier.
>the reason swords evolved into the fencing swords was because people STOPPED wearing armor because of guns. People stopped wearing armor because it is pointless against a gun and its better to be able to move freely, so swords went back to being lighter-weight slashing and stabbing weapons.
What you're seeing with the fencing swords is a tradition that comes out of late Renaissance smallsword- which is called that because it was smaller than the standard rapier- you have the foil, the training weapon for the smallsword, the epee' which is the training weapon for the 19th century "epee de combate" or French dueling sword, and the sabre. Which is exactly what you think it is.
These weapons were largely used because of fashion, however, and had generally little use outside of civilian duels (with the exception of the saber)
Furthermore, in Morrowind, we clearly see a wide variety of weapons, including 19th century styled sabres. So, the weapon technology of TES is all over the place anyway.

> Wrong. HEMAfag here, and you are fucking wrong. Your average one-handed sword, was in fact a sidearm, even if it was in a purely military context initially- later on, as swords became more common among civilians, they eventually ended up a standard of a gentleman's outfit. And yes, this happened roughly in the 13th-14th century, just prior to the Renaissance, so they were "medieval" swords. It was all the rage in countries like Italy, Germany, and on occasion England, the latter at one point having a piece of legislature called the Assize of Arms, which stated that, by law, every man was required to own a weapon, as afforded by his station- essentially, whatever he could afford.
I don't know why you're trying to make Elder Scrolls into a history sim (it's a fantasy RPG btw), but regardless you're still wrong, and only responding to minor points in what I am saying rather than my overall point.
My overall point is that making certain weapons useless against certain enemies is just dumb from a gameplay point of view - it wouldn't be fun and it would shoehorn you into using certain equipment which is a bad thing.
I know full well that the majority of medieval soldiers (thanks for the history lecture though) in a battle would not have a sword. But what does that have to do with Elder Scrolls, and how does is prove that a sword is useless against armor?
The reason most people didn't use swords is because they cost a lot more than a spear or other "standard" weapon, and probably because they're not suited to a shield-wall / formation in battle type fighting. But that isn't like the fighting in Elder Scrolls, so the comparisons are not relevant. You're not fighting in organized units against other units - you're mostly fighting one on one, and the cost of equipment isn't relevant either as it isn't conscription scenario.
And regardless of all that the materials in the Elder Scrolls universe are not the same as real world materials - when you can show me how "real" ebony armor or weapons react I might bother listening to you speculations over their physical properties.
Fact is that if you have a high level sword it should be able to damage high level armor, and low level weapons are basically useless against high level armor as it is which is how it should be.
> Fucking. WRONG. Your average one-handed medieval sword weighed in about 2 1/2 pounds, some lighter, some a little heavier. Your average "longsword" (a sword generally intended for two hands with a long blade) weighed in about 3 pounds, the heavier ones weighing in at about 4- the same as a rapier.
1. Do a quick search on how much a zwei-hander (an actual two-handed sword that was used in the real world) weighted.
2. Regardless you're missing my point and getting wrapped up in challenging minor details - my point which is that a heavy ass piece of metal (a sword) hitting you in the head is going to hurt a lot and probably crack your skull even if you're wearing armor.
Remember - I'm responding to your original idea that wearing armor would make you invulnerable to swords, and it obviously wouldn't and you're just jumping on minor points and semantics to defend your dumb idea.
tldr:
Just accept that you were being a dumbass when you said someone in armor would be immune to being hit by a sword.
>>8716
totally agree - that's the point I've been making all along (and more specifically that forcing players to use certain weapons by making others do no damage to most enemies is stupid).

Not what I'm doing. I'm just responding to the point that I know for a fact to be inaccurate.
>I know full well that the majority of medieval soldiers (thanks for the history lecture though) in a battle would not have a sword. But what does that have to do with Elder Scrolls, and how does is prove that a sword is useless against armor?
Actually, they were very popular as sidearms, and if you could get one, you had one, generally. As well, swords WEREN'T useless against armor, especially chainmail, and even platemail wouldn't protect you, assuming you used the appropriate techniques and hit them in the right place (arm pit, back of the knee, ect).
>Do a quick search on how much a zwei-hander (an actual two-handed sword that was used in the real world) weighted.
I've seen and handled zweihanders and montantes (spanish) and spadones (Italian). They usually weigh about 6-8 pounds. They were also largely used either by knights who wanted a polearm-length weapon, but wanted the status symbol of a sword, OR by guardsmen.
>2. Regardless you're missing my point and getting wrapped up in challenging minor details - my point which is that a heavy ass piece of metal (a sword) hitting you in the head is going to hurt a lot and probably crack your skull even if you're wearing armor.
Eh, depends on the armor, but if you're wearing plate and someone smacks you in the chest with a sword, yeah, it's generally not going to do much.
HOWEVER
Here's the thing- Armor doesn't make you invulnerable (though it's very much a valuable asset), so having certain sets of armor basically cancel out weapons is neither realistic, OR fun.
TL;DR you're a fucking fetcher, but you're right from a game design perspective.

Yeah man that's exactly why I spoke about bringing weapon and armor degradation back.
>>8736 gets it wrong
>but blunt weapons doing shit against light armor and blade weapons doing shit against heavy armor is over the top.
What I'm saying is not that blunt sucks against enemies with light armor, or that wearing light armor makes you resist blunt better, but that the DAMAGE done to the armor's health is less when it comes from blunt weapons.
It's like if you take a piece of leather, you pound it with a sledge hammer it's not going to break, whereas if you hit it with an axe you're gonna chop it all to shit. It's about how weapons and armor degrade, adding depth to that system.

Okay, fair enough, but I think you'd agree responding to my post on an anonymous form would look like you were the person I was replying to.
I still think your "no being hit by a sword won't do anything if you're wearing armor" is really stupid - like I keep saying, the impact of a heavy piece of metal is going to hurt you even if it doesn't penetrate the armor. If you hit someone with it hard enough it's going to break an arm or crack a skull, or knock them out even if they've got armor on.
> They usually weigh about 6-8 pounds.
This is why I said "8 pounds" in my original post.
> Armor doesn't make you invulnerable
This is what I've been saying all along, and why I think the current high-quality armor protects more and is pretty much immune to low level weapons and vice versa system is both fine from a game-play point of view and generally makes sense.
>you're right from a game design perspective.
I think this is as good as I'm going to get, so thanks.
Just as a final point though:
Think of it this way - which is more realism breaking (never mind irritating):
1. Every-time you spot an enemy you pause, go into the menu and swap your equipment round otherwise you wont be able to damage them properly.
2. Being able to use any weapon against any enemy, with lower quality weapons being bad against higher quality armor and vice versa.
I really don't see why you would push this as a game-play concept, it wouldn't be fun (my main criticism) and frankly it doesn't really make an awful lot of sense from a realism point of view - the idea that popping on some heavy armor makes you invulnerable to half the weapons in the game is just stupid.
good discussion though, I enjoyed it
>>8755
I think having some sort of equipment degrade is viable, and it could spice things up a bit, but it couldn't be the model used in the previous games, maybe something like they degrade a lot slower, and you can still use them even when they are "broken" but at severely reduced stats?
Could also be used to balance out enchanting a bit (the most OP thing in ES5) by saying enchanted items degrade quicker and and harder to repair (we saw this a bit in ES4 but I don't think it was implemented very well).

How is saying that all the suggestions and comments in the video >>9296 are pretty much wanting Fallout features in Elder Scrolls alarmist - if you watch the video that is exactly what it does?
I'm not saying Bethesda would do this, or even that it would be a completely bad thing, some features of Fallout (particularly the more complicated story mechanics of New Vegas) would be welcome in Elder Scrolls (compare the civil war in Skyrim to the war in New Vegas), but the two titles do need to maintain differentiation.
I don't think anyone wants to see two games with the same mechanics and play-style where the only difference is that one has swords and the other has guns.
Again, to clarify, my comment about "make Elder Scrolls more like Fallout" was a response to the comments made in the video, nothing more.

Come on now man.
Our only hope is to either make a retelling of current TES games using Open MW or make our own TES like game. At this point I don't think anyone in power at Bethesda wants to make a game that isn't anything other than a lowest common denominator cash sweeper. One thin I don't understand is that for some fucked up reason other companies don't want to make similar games, Call of Duty 4 sold about 2/3 as much as Skyrim and every company saw this and cashed in on it to an extreme that set back gaming, but there are no other first person immersifests that have released since Skyrim, Dark Souls sold like 5 million copies all up, much less than 1/4 of Skyrim's totals and that got fucking clones.

> why don't other companies make Elder Scrolls clones
A few reasons that come to mind right off the bat:
> building an RPG engine is tough, if a company with the time, budget and resources of Bethesda make a buggy game like Skyrim can you imagine what a company with no experience of making an RPG, less money and they're rushing it to cash in on the Skyrim popularity would do?
> a big part of what people like about the Elder Scrolls is the universe, most companies flat out don't have the time or creative license to come up with something as big, fleshed out etc. as the ES universe. It the same reason why fantasy films are always based on books - it's pretty much impossible to build a new world from scratch, and even if you do people wont have the inclination to spend the required time to get immersed in it when there is a "better" game on the market (ES).
> I think there are a lot of games around that fed off the Skyrim popularity, the number of Viking type games and magic type games does seem to have gone up a bit.
I can see what you're saying about Bethesda wanting to make "the lowest common denominator" of a game, and while I agree to a point I think your focus is the wrong way around.
No company, not even Bethesda would ever deliberately make a bad game, or a game that alienates it's fans. That's just common sense. However, every time an Elder Scrolls game comes out people compare it to two things - 1. their favorite previous ES game and 2. their idealized ES game that they have been imagining for about 5 years by the time the new game it out. Already this is a tall order, and add in the fact that there are millions of fans of ES all doing this. So it is literally impossible for them to create a game that appeals to every fan.
So what is their solution? They make a game that appeals to the majority, a completely utilitarian approach, make the game that the majority of consumers want to buy. And for the most part it works - sales of subsequent game keep going up. Like it or not, every game developer works this way.
Even putting this aside it is a no win situation, I guarantee that even if you get the two biggest fans of ES3 that hated ES4&5 and had them outline their perfect Elder Scrolls game there would be serious discrepancies. And even if there were not, you would undoubtedly find that some things sound great, but just don't work if you implement them in a game (e.g. ultra-realistic stuff sounds great, but is almost always not very fun to play).

I say no, an RPG engine isn't anything explicitly more complex than most open world games these days and there are a lot of open world games, the modding aspect is also nothing special, many games have similar internal development tools allowing maps to be compiled in pieces so multiple people can edit different parts of the same map, really what Bethesda do special is release a stripped down toolset so players can modify the games themselves, these toolsets used to be quite common too, a long time ago.
Buggy Bethesda games are due to low quality QA being unable to find all the errors within every nook and cranny of the world, also that QA team is probably just lazy.
World building is a natural aspect of any game, and there are many games with rich lore, not as much as TES though, that lore be fat. There are fantasy worlds ripe for the picking, and the people who helped build some of these worlds are still around to help you build your own, I don't think it's a big ask. Honestly.
Maybe it just has to do with fads and trends, when Skyrim came out Call of Duty was still in it's prime, and AC was still hitting big, maybe we will see it catch on with FO4, probably this years fastest and highest selling title, maybe it's just hard to greenlight such a project or the people who manage these games want to make other games.
I mostly just don't agree with you on this part, something else has to be stopping people from making first person Immersifests, Creation Kit isn't some magically complex engine, half the lore is leftover shit from Kirkbride anyway, and the other half is people inferring the true nature of things thanks to Kirkbrides previous work.
I actually kind of agree with your next part, they don't go all out to make the game as dumb as possible, it's just optimization to make the game run smoother with each iteration, I think the core of the whole thing though is Bethesda not really getting Role Play, I mean they give you freedom but I just can't immerse myself in their worlds past Morrowind, too little consistency and almost no Choice and Consequence and the games fear of locking players out of content. Because Bethesda dosen't really get Role Play there wasn't any priority to maintain it while trimming the fat from the game.
