Why is every tavern in an RPG exactly the same as another?
taverns in witcher 3 were better and different
Because I want to have sex with Hermione.
This thread is now about the best taverns in RPGs
Pic related was comfy as fuck

What are you expecting? Some kind of trendy hipster wine bar?
>>337947296
not as good as the one in whiterun m8
>>337947213
They were also mostly copy pasted
>>337947128
I live in Wisconsin and every tavern here is exactly the same.
Maybe all RPGs take place in Wisconsin.
Inns in the Witcher franchise tend to be comfy imo.
>>337947128
You know when I watched the movie, I've never even once had double thought about Hermione or Emma Watson.
But seeing it here makes it totally different.
Anyway, Developers are lazy we all know that, but you can't blame them on doing something similar taverns in their rpg. Try comparing all the bar in your city you'll see how similar most of them are.

>>337947128
White people.
most taverns irl look the same.
>>337947296
Oh yeah that tavern. The one that is also found in every single other province of Skyrim, I love magical taverns.
>>337947296
Look at that shit design
>tall ceiling
>in the cold north
pfhahaahah
zero
effort
>>337949743
Ah yes the pointless empty board field aka the infinity engine tavern
>>337947296
Coming across the random roadside inns on your first time exploring skyrim was such a great feeling.
>>337950096
How so?
You can literally walk across the entire country in an hour.
>>337947296
I like the Bee and Barb, it has proper fucking rooms for rent and storage down stairs.
Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm and Silver-Blood Inn are also great.
>>337947128
because it's a tavern, not a shopping mall or a barn or a stable or a presidential suite
it's literally some old wooden building that looks exactly similar to the other buildings around it, houses etc
>why is a house's interior the exact same as another
>>337950559
Oh I also forgot the Winking Skeever.
What a fucking stupid name.
>>337950096
> playing my first TES is such a great feeling
> muh mods! muh open-world! muh graphics!
> the post
>>337951075
But if I don't sleep at an inn I'll get fucked by spiders.
>>337951075
you tell him bro

---------------------------------
99% of gamers prefer skyrim, if you are the EPIC 1% that thinks morrowind is better copy and paste this to your sig \m/

Oh I get it fisting dudes, yeah that's pretty gay.

Some professional concept artist (Feng Zhu) was talking about it on Youtube and he said the reason things look all samey is there isn't much room to be ultra creative with things.
For example let's take a tavern, when designing the game you want it to have the broadest appeal you can get (which includes casuals and whatnot), and obviously you want the people playing your game to know it's a tavern. So you just take the usual design of what a tavern is. So 70 - 80% of the design is the same stuff. The last 20% or so is where you can be creative.
Can't remember which video it was but if you search fzd school on youtube you might be able to find it
>>337952375
Well if Feng Zhu said it that solves it!
>>337952581
Not really sure what you're getting at but he works in the industry and that's his take on it.
Are you implying he doesn't know what he's talking about or something?
>>337952807
Yes, I'm saying that anyone saying that there isn't much room to be ultra creative with room design in a video game is a fucking retard.
What did this Feng Zhu guy design exactly?
>>337953045
Not sure about everything he's worked on but I know he worked on Star Wars. He has his own school as well. He's been in the industry for years iirc.

His about page shows the clients he's worked with but I don't know what he's designed specifically. And maybe it was my bad paraphrasing, you'll have to watch the video he did.

>burning a fire indoors without a chimney or a hood
>tall ass ceiling
It's like they want to die of carbon monoxide, and not have any of the hot air stay by the ground.
Was this your first RPG? Usually that is why people like such shit.
>>337953762
I won't do that because the quote is obviously nonsensical, to dismiss creativity like that. Not to mention it pretends there's no variety in real life bar design which is exactly the same concept.
>>337954398
Alright calm down
Age of Conan had some pretty comfy taverns.
>>337954516
Oh go away you ponce.
>>337954872
Wow you need to relax mate.
>>337947296
This tavern gives me a comfy boner

This is now a Leopold the Second of Belgium thread.
Out of my way you fucking plebs.
>>Drawn by a haunting voice, you come to the Elfsong Tavern. It is a small place, filled with a motley assortment of patrons.. and grisly trophies. There, the haunting voice is all around you.. and the patrons are silent as the song washes over them. One by one, they all seem lost in it's call..

persona 5?
>>337955695
Not him. Looks like Catherine.
>>337955584
The slab is too low
Just look at that crap
No wonder bartender is hiding his crotch
And how low the elbows are, just imagine the back pain after your second mojito.
>>337955667
Awwww yeeeeeah nigga.
>>337947128
The same reason 90% of big hospitals are the same man, because it's a single building made for a single purpose. It's uniform and easily recognizable so people can get in, do their business and leave.
>>337954804
for some reason this really feels like a real environment for me
>>337949743
Don't you get raped or something in there?
