Don't know about the population, but if we look at the surface area we could go by Daggerfall. That was basically as big as they wanted it to be and I guess a 1:1 representation of the location's in-universe size. It's something like the size of England, so if each province is like that then I guess Tamriel is like the size of Europe

Kirkbride indeed was probably the recipe of Morrowind's success - unique and outlandish lore of Vvardenfell is definitely what hooked me and many others. I didn't know anything about previous TES games but all the books and character dialogues and land painted such a detailed world... I have no idea how much Kirkbride actually contributed to Morrowind's alien direction but judging by how... normal Oblivion felt he did a lot.

The quests, man. Oblivion has the best quests in the series. That's one thing that mods can never change. For all the grafix, Skyrim will always be Dungeons & Draugrs. Morrowind is honestly kind of boring with the copy/pasted NPCs. It's so refreshing when you talk to a nobody in Oblivion and they introduce themselves by name, tell you what they do, etc even if they don't matter in the least. Shame about the lack of inventory slots, though.

kirkbride left shortly after morrowind
todd howard became more confident in a leadership position
emil pagliarulo wasnt even working at bethesda
their art team/programmers didnt evolve to meet the needs of modern game development
the game having moderate success on the xbox lead bethesda to target console gamers as their primary demographic due to a lack of competition

Reminder that there are over 300 npc's in the largest city of Morrowind. In Skyrim it was far less than 100.
>>
>>338183826
I guess. They became increasingly focused on flashy technology that ends up getting scrapped in the end because they don't have the chops to pull it off. They still arguably make good immersive worlds though, which is what really matters in these games.

There aren't really any definitive builds so just go with whatever skills you think would be fun ...Except stealth. Stealth is pretty much useless.

As an actual programmer, we're always honest. The problem is dumbasses like Todd, who will see us testing a feature that breaks a dozen other systems if we implemented it that way and then go around telling everyone it will be in there in the final product. And then it gets cut because those other dozen systems are more important and we don't have the time to implement it correctly.

Boring.

>Nords
A Humanoid race of great warriors and conquerors who were born out of wind and can use their voice as a weapon of mass destruction.
>Bretons
An experiment of Aldmeri elites breeding programs including old Nedic people. They're quite literally a mix of elves and humans.
>Imperials
A mix of Nedes, Colovians (themselves a mix of Nedes, Nords and countless other groups), Nibeneans (Nedes+Nords+Ayleids+Akaviri+misc) who joined together, combining both military provess of the West and the mercantile and magical nature of the East to become a nation of victors.
>Redguards
A mysterious race that can sing swords into creations; those swords can explode as devastating as an atomic bomb. A huge civil war made their continent sink; they embarked on a journey across the ocean, slaughtered a bunch of beast-folk and settled down where they landed.
>Altmer
Elves who practice eugenics the likes of which Hitler couldn't even imagine. They strive for a perfect elven race and their names in elven are just numbers. Their plan is literally to conquer the world, destroy the magical towers and "end" the world, making them the only living race.
>Bosmer
Created out of wild spirits, they protect their part of the woods and eat their enemies. Can shift into the Wild Hunt, a huge horde of Bosmer who shift back into their old form but can't turn back. The Wild Hunt consumes anything in its path, even Mer.
>Dunmer
Elves who got pissed off by the Altmer so they travelled across the continent, settled down near their cousins the Dwemer and fought wars with them and Nords. Used to have golden skin but a god put a curse on them. Live near an active volcano that has an effect on their voice.

Relatives of the Bosmer whose appearance depends on the phase of the moons when they are born. They can look like Bosmer or like huge tiger-like beasts, or anywhere in between. Their leader is born on a special day and grows fur so long he has to be carried around. They got so high on Moonsugar once they climbed up to the moons, something the Cyrodils could only do by flying, magicka-powered ships. Because dude moonsugar lmao.

In a sense but it was also because Kirkbride was the first and only WRITER who had a major role in actual design of any TES game. I believe that's the main reason why lore seems to be so well integrated into Morrowind without bashing you over the head constantly. People honestly forget he did not personally write or come up with every single idea in Morrowind.

Morrowind to Oblivion was definitely simplified, but the quests and world were so good that I don't care. It struck a perfect balance between being a technological upgrade to Morrowind and not being a casualized borefest like Skyrim.

You subhuman baboon. You literal nigger.
How dare you speak, you swarthy jungle monkey. How dare you open your big lipped, rim encrusted, menthol cigarette smelling mouth?
You are human trash, Diego Tyrone LeShawn de Maradona. Universally despised, derided and mocked. Your nationality and skin tone offers no hope to the world that South America can ever prosper. Crawl back in to the Brazilian jungle you came out of, you literal orangutan.
I hope you decide to sail your grandfathers skip to the Falklands and rape some sheep, as is in the negroes nature. It would still be the whitest pussy you ever had. Give Nigel and Robert a chance for some target practice, your sole use to the world. Argentinians obsession with a few windswept islands in the Atlantic is hilarious but sad. Coincidentally its the only worthwhile contribution Argentina has made to the medical field. The MUH LAS MALVINAS sentiment in the average negro Argentinian is both an early warning sign of autism in children, and early on set Alzheimer's in adults.
Take your black hairy fingers off your keyboard, and never talk about the human species again, you mockery of our supposed shared ancestor.. No amount of olive oil and wheat flour slabbed on your face every morning will make you white. It's about as delusional of an idea as your daydreams of European heritage.
You nigger.
You make Bolivia look like a beacon of civilisation.
You are the Baltimore of South America.
Go fertilise the pampas with you and your families corpses, its the best you can hope for in life. For the first time in your life, nigger, you have a job making food for beings vastly superior to yourself. Uruguayan cattle. Coincidentally, it would be the first time an Argentinian "man" provided for a family.
Die, Diego. No one would miss you. Except for Australian Aboriginals, who now would have no one to make them look good.

Because they are part of the world? I already said that I found it aesthetically appealing. Shit like Hackdirt and Goblin clans are less quests and more part of the world.

Is this about finding bandits in high end armor or about health increasing? Because I never found the latter to be an issue as my damage still increases far higher than their health as I level.

My name is hollowed-out-stump and I hate every single one of you. All of you are low endurance, overencumbered fetchers who spend all of their days rummaging through crates outside of Balmora. You are everything blighted in this world. Honestly, have any of you even gotten daedric weapons? I mean I guess it's fun adventuring because of your own low attributes, but you all take it to a whole new level. This is even worse than doing Skooma.

Don't be an outlander. Just hit me with your best spell. I'm pretty much perfect. I was Archmagister of the Seyda Neen stump team, and Kinsman on my ponds' dead tree team. What quests do you complete, other than "Trying to avoid the cliffracers?" I also have an engraved ring of healing, and have a paranoid Wood Elf companion (he just hid a journeyman lockpick in me, shit was SO gold.) You are all s'wits who should just catch the Corprus disease. Thanks for listening.

Everything is a part of the world by that logic.

I'm not going to go into the retcon that was Oblivion's world because it doesn't really matter, but it was a bland world, they tried to make a distinction between the border to Skyrim, the colovian highlands, the nibenay basin and the border to black marsh but in the actual game there only was a discernible difference between the mountanious zones and the rest.
The swamp didn't feel like a swamp at all.
And there was a complete lack of dense forests.
And that's without mentioning the limited diversity of dungeons, that amount to caves, ayleid ruins, forts and oblivion gates (that are a chore to begin with).
The world was just boring as fuck.

Leveling scaling is not only the enemies leveling with you, but the whole world, with contributed with the blandness of it to make exploration almost entirely pointless, since you'll never find loot that won't be obsolete in a few levels.

I hardly play vidya games any more, I buy them even less. I am by your standards of /v/ an old man with kids. I bought DLC for heroseige, a game one of my kids gave me from his 4 pack. I burned through the DLC in like an hour. I was not even trying, I just started playing and it was over with. 1 hour was $2.50. Thats modern gaming. Thats what your money is worth in modern games. That is why I quit a few years ago. I gave up. None of you fucking understand or care I know but it used to make economic sense for me with video games. I hated TV, I wanted something to kill time at home so I played PC games.

I would pay $30 for a fallout or Elder Scrolls game and get literally thousands of hours for the money, no DLC involved. I would spend a fucking year looking in every nook and cranny doing every conceivable thing to every conceivable critter with every mod found or made myself. I mean that was some fucking value. Now, $2.50 an hour. For an indy game no less. And that one is a steal compared to some of the others.


Its scary to think its just going to get worse from here. Like somebody today will look back 20 years from now and think "oh man, it used to be fucking awesome! I used to only pay a days wages for a game that would last me all weekend! These days in 2036 you gotta hook up the blood draw or do payment plans to get through the weekend. I mean yea the graphics are good but shit I gotta eat too".
And then somebody calls him out for being only middle class instead of the .001%.
