But in Oblivion you couldn't fast travel to something without having been there first. Am I being rused?
>level is based on a semi random number put on all your gear and then added up
>>336417591
the game's just letting you know because you're obviously retarded to die more than once at any given point in any video game ever, that you can make it easier.

You could fast travel to any major city from the start, while in Daggerfall you could literally fast travel anywhere from the start
>>336417623
Oblivion had it so that you can fast travel to any city straight from the start, everywhere else you had to discover first.
Pretty sure the more popular overhauls like OOO removed that though.

I think it might be detecting some part of your system which makes it think you have a better machine. For instance, my piece of shit with integrated graphics has 16gb of ram.

how anyone can NOT use crouch and prone as toggleable keys is simply beyond my comprehension.
>>336418018
>>336418031
Alright then, my mistake. To be honest I didn't pay much attention to Oblivion since I didn't like it. I don't even know why I played Skyrim since I knew it was less of the same.

prone toggle always, but crouch is always hold. You have to be playing some garbage like COD where you duckwalk to have the slightest semblance of accuracy to want crouch on a toggle. Or DoD I guess which is just as bad.

Game designers: if you don't want a player to go somewhere, put an obstacle big enough that they can't assume they CAN go there, there's nothing more infuriating than thinking "oh hey, I can go there if I do this", do it and hit an invisible wall where you should have succeeded.

>>336435065
Funny how one of the first 3D games to really pull off sheer maneuverability, Super Mario 64, cleverly made damn sure to pit or box in the levels so that invisible walls aren't usually a problem.
But no, now everything has to be realistic, so we must invisibly lock off the areas if they're not an island in the sea, and we must make sure the player doesn't progress too fast.
>>336440064
This
I know you think your adding variety for the sake of pacing, game designers, and that sounds great in theory, BUT THE FUCKING ENGINE AND TOOLSET YOU'VE PROVIDED THE PLAYER WITH IS ILL EQUIPPED TO ACCOMMODATE THIS SHIFT AND IT FEELS LIKE FUCKING GARBAGE 100% OF THE TIME
>>336440008
well classic Doom literally changed item and enemy spawns depending on the difficulty, the easiest halved damage you took and gave you double ammo, and nightmare made all enemies move and attack faster, respawn indefinitely with a randomized timer, and double your ammo to even the odds
enemy health never got altered once
>>336440008
more enemies, different placement of enemies, scarcer supplies, literally anything but just increase health and damage.
>>336437873
>Why even use auto detect anyway?
Because you don't know what all those settings mean, don't care a whole lot about graphics anyway, and just want to play the game.
>>336439302
And on the other end of the spectrum,
>Quicksaving makes a new save slot every time
>>336440803
i actually like this to a certain extent, but in some games you end up with too many and now it takes forever for the load screen to load.

>>336440064
>that stealth section in witcher 2
>>336435065
It's worse when you make it up there but some invisible force of nature pushes you off and then you die.
Like it's a personal "fuck you" from the developer.
