bethesda is normie central. when you ask normies what they think of rpgs, they instnatly think of Bethesda games. oblivion sold 9 million. fallout 3 sold 13 million (nv sold 12 million), skyrim sold 23 million. fallout 4 sold 12 million in like a month. idk how much it's sold since then but you get the point. it's not just a skyrim thing. skyrim was huge but so were every other bethesda title from the past 10 years. 60+% of all of these sales are on xbox btw. by the way /v/ talks you'd never think it, but the amount of PC players who play bethesda games pale in comparison to normie consoles.

oblivion and skyrim are still rpgs, they're just deep in the "action rpg" range. i'd say that fallout 4 is the cutoff point at which bethesda games are just "Far Cry 3 with some dialogue options".

You have a point. 4's decision to do voice acting was weird as fuck and ultimately hurt the game, and the removal of a lot of the neat little choices relating to your skills and perks was pretty bad too.

>>
>>334783323
>>334783195
Thing is if you use your mind, eso has created tamriel but not all places, then atm have left out elswyr valenwood and black Marsh, we have already had human and elves areas so it would make sense them to use a beast race and an area not yet in eso, so that then eso can create the area around the tes game at a later date.
My bet would be on elswyr, kajit are less "scary" to argonians and a storyline around an outsider being immune and eventually curing the katian flu would seem right into the tes hero story.

There was a time when I'd get a giggle from this. there was a time when I thought, "meh, oblivion wasn't the best but it had some charm, I think skyrim just missed that and felt really stale." then fallout 4 happened and now doom. Bethesda is just shit that will never reach it's Alex selling billions of copies because morrowind had potential.

What about somewhere completely new, like those islands in between Tamriel and Akavir, or Pyandonea

Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind are all new assets, multiple types of buildings and terrain won't be even remotely hard to do.

Hes right, 2 majorly distinct areas would mean mega assets for both.
Think of the last 3 es games how they used the same assets everywhere.

>Skyrim in-game is canon minus size of cities
Skyrim is smaller, removed cities, and reduced city size all because they didn't have the time and resources to make enough assets for the game. And that's not even mentioning changes to the Throat of the World, borders, the Sea of Ghosts, etc. that are legit canon cleaving. And they even did this with Oblivion beforehand.

And somehow having two completely different biomes, both requiring extensive, large, specialized assets will somehow not be a problem? Keep dreaming.

You literally make zero sense, how does the size of the map and less citiescitation needed equal to less assets? They would have just used the same assets that already exist for the game but on a larger scale

These games are fun and all but why do they feel so shoddy and at times cheap?

Witcher 3 is as big and mad ein fucking Poland with a smaller budget but it looks and plays so much better.

In 3rd person mode even, when you look down and strike something on the ground, the animation will just look like your character is looking forward but in 1st person they are hitting the ground. The textures in Bethesda games are always muddy as fuck as well and it always annoyed me how shit fallout games looked.

The animations have always been really mediocre as well, Oblivions were horrible and while playing F4 the other day, I noticed how nothing blends together, like walls and ground textures, they're just slapped together and you can see this as if the game world was made of a bunch of tiles. It's jarring.

Nah. The Dominion marched on in and BTFO the Redguards out of their own land. And this is after the Redguards were ordered to assist Cyrodiil where the Dominion were sacking the Imperial City and the Redguards reneged and kept their forces home.

Eventually, the Empire defeated the Dominion on their own and drove them all out of Cyrodiil except a small occupying force in southern Hammerfell. The shitty Redguards quit the Empire then spent five years with their entire army trying to dislodge the handful of wounded Altmer holding the entirety of their southern lands.

After that string of embarrassing defeats and single Pyrrhic victory, they started nigwalking around with revisionist sunglasses going "YEEEEEAH BOOOOOI, we sho' kicked da shit outta dem elves!"

Bethesda RPG's are literally babbies first role playing game, they are the entry level of the genre, its a normie fest for that reason.

They're not actually cannibals, that's a myth connected with how the god who created them forbids them from harming the forest and its vegetation, so naturally meat is all they can gather there.

Literally the only parallels the Altmer have to the Nazis are the Thalmor. They have much more in common with the classical Chinese, down to being unbelievably arrogant and treating all others like barbarians.

It's not that hard to grasp.

And if you weren't so mired in /pol/, you'd understand Aryans refer to Indo-Aryans.

So Persians and northern Indians.

Argonians openly worship Sithis. Only 2 of the Elder Scrolls games have ever had Argonians with poison resistance, and even then, the recent two haven't. So, again, what's the problem?
>>

I dunno enough about Argonian lore or the Hist to comment about that, but the real problem is that he's praising Sithis aloud, to a COMPLETE STRANGER.

>>

playing elder scrolls has nothing to do with being an idiot
>>
>>334791452
Than why are you in this thread if you haven't played the game?

>>334791424
Sithis literally doesn't have a consciousness to begin with. He (it) is the embodiment of the void, nothingness, zero, nada. Sithis is the equivalent to the ancient Greek concept of Chaos.
>>
>>334791370
Maybe if I was in the right mood, I don't know. At this point I'm just sad. It might be because I really wanted ESO to be good. Probably still hanging on to that disappointment, even though I shouldn't.

>if they do hammerfell it'll be a fraction of daggerfalls size

>>334791564
Right.

Sithis is a god-shaped hole.

I was always curious. Does Mephala have a connection to Sithis?
>>
>>334791424
There's still worship, ala the Dark Brotherhood, born out of ignorance or adherence to the Night Mother. However
>>334791210
If ESO has fucked up SO much that they actually present Sithis as a sentient being, and not just being the ploy of the Night Mother, then who the fuck knows! Maybe he is now pure sapient evil, or some fucking garbage like that.
>>
>>334791292
Skyrim obviously screwed up the lore. Argonians are supposed to have %100 poison resistance.

Fuck me, but the casual lore crowd are some smug autists. Again, Argonians openly worship Sithis. It isn't a big secret, or something they hide. Also, 4 out of the 6 games you can play an Argonian in the race has ZERO resistance to poison.

I know. You played Oblivion, and maybe even Morrowind! But you acting like there's something wrong here just proves how out of your depth you are.

Insider here, not Beth employee but someone close to the studio. The next title has not been chosen, but it will not follow the 'Elder Scrolls: Location' formula, nor will it contain a numeral. The next Elder Scrolls game scheduled is a new entry in the Elder Scrolls Adventures/Tales series and is a joint venture between Bethesda Softworks and another studio I will not name that is currently being brought under the Zenimax umbrella and will be rebranded.

You don't have to believe me, it won't actually be too much longer before details start to be released. You should be excited, actually.

Adding "muh" to them don't make them any less valid. You want time traveling mages and deities, you're going to get them.

And that's not all. He's just outright wrong about some things. The towers don't protect Tamriel from invasion, that's the dragonfires and Akatosh's covenant with the Amulet of Kings. It's how Dagon was able to invade and how Molag Bal is in ESO.

The OP of that thread knows just enough lore to get offended, but not enough to be right.
>>
I've not really been following ESO, but I remember there was a huge controversy before ESO came out about Queen Ayreen, and why the Aldmeri Dominion would even accept her. She's 23 years old (an infant by elvish standards), and is at odds with the prevalent Elvish xenophobia. She's traveled outside of Summerset Isle by her own, and has pretty progressive views.
Has there been any non-bullshit explanation or resolution as how to she has become queen, without any resistance? Or is the only good explanation still that she's KINMUNE?

No comment on the rest, but the "Kvatch Quests" he's referring to is probably what Todd Howard described when answering a fan question about what the fan described as Oblivion's lack of complexity and faction politics in comparison to previous games:

>In regards to the politics comment, that's a valid statement, in that Daggerfall and Morrowind both have main stories dealing with a lot of politics, and that wasn't the story we wanted to do this time. There was a time that the Oblivion main quest featured a ton of that, dealing with the Elder Council, but we did end up cutting it while it was still on paper, in all our story reads, it really defocused the main quest from dealing with the daedra, which we wanted the focus to be. Anyway, I think the lack of actually seeing and dealing with the Elder Council is certainly one of my "I wish it had this" things, as we wrote some great stuff for it that just didn't make it in. It was the "nobility" faction line, where you made your way up and became "The Duke of Colovia" and sat on the Elder Council. The only remnant of that questline in the dead Duke in Castle Kvatch, which was to be the beginning of that line.

So, while it is indeed cut content, the official story is that it was due to design rather than constraints.

Not that the last part isnt changeable, remember Vardenfell was closed to most people until right before the game, you can easily have the game be about how huge parts of the marsh have turned less hostile in recent years and make the main quest be about finding out why
