>To take Morrowind and then to completely rebuild it? It was an Xbox game. To completely rebuild it have it be relevant for today? That’s a pretty massive team doing a massive amount of work,
Bethesda's Pete Hines is saying Morrowind was an Xbox game. Isn't that nice?
http://www.gamesradar.com/a-skyrim-remaster-might-be-on-the-way-but-heres-why-bethesda-will-never-do-morrowind-hd/
Yes let's ignore PC as much as possible, never mind that the 3 previous Elder scrolls games were PC exclusive!
>>340522538
but it was an xbox game
what did he say that was wrong?
I honestly don't want modern Bethesda touching Morrowind anyway.
>>340523179
>I know it will work perfectly
Take the road from Vivec to Ebonheart. Most Xboxes shit themselves.
He's not the bad guy
>>340523270
It was an insult to the legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise. The Xbox version was just a retarded version of the Pc version.
>>340523774
Who knew the "master race" were so sensitive about shit that doesn't matter.
>>340523909
Yeah sure, it's only like if Bethesda said Oblivion could never be remastered because it was made for mobile phones.
>>340524260
no it's not
>Morrowind was a masterpiece
>>340523179
>work perfectly
Nigger I played Morrowind on Xbox, it did not work perfectly.
>>340523594
I loved the game needing to load every five steps
just look at this shit why does Pete Hines even bother
seriously Morrowind fangirls do you want to see TES VI in the near future?
Why does he have to shit up both Fallout and TES with his bullshit attitude?
He brushes off Morrowind's very existence. He was completely dismissive of the previous Fallout lore. New Bethesda really are just thugs out for as much cash as possible, the older fans are just embarrassment to them.
>>340522538
Funny, considering fucking kids in their houses can rebuilt the whole game with the Skyrim engine with new voices, quests and shit.
I really hate these cunts at Bethesda. Todd and this guy seriously need to fuck off. Give Fallout to Obsidian and ES to Zenimax.
>>340524880
New Bethesda are just trying to become a publisher like Activision, they've published a few games over the last couple of years, now they're IP that made them, they are destroying by rushing them and over charging everything because they can.
They will never be Activision. It's a shame they're dragging Fallout and Elder Scrolls down with their stupid new aims.
>“You go back and look at it. Do you remember the dialogue system in Morrowind?” points out Hines. “Do you remember what it was like talking to someone and scrolling through this long list of questions. You put that out for someone that just finished Skyrim and they’re going to be like ‘What in the hell…?’”
why are we giving todd howard shit again if pete hines is the casual faggot here?
>>340525029
>Funny, considering fucking kids in their houses can rebuilt the whole game with the Skyrim engine with new voices, quests and shit
you're giving skyrim mods too much credit, most are absolute trash
>>340524410
yes it is and you're being a cunt. it's a slap in the face to those of us playing since arena
all four of us
Morrowind is a perfect game, why would you want neo-Bethesda to go back and fuck it up?
>>340525354
>You put that out for someone that just finished Skyrim and it'll damage our new brand
So it's basically confirmed that they understand their new audience wants nothing in the way of RPGs, so they're no longer making RPGs.
This is the same kind of horse shit that led them to Fallout 4's dialog system. And they'll never let another studio take a crack at the series and make an actual RPG again because it confuses and divides their poor, stupid fanbase.
You know, TES is their baby to fuck up however they want, but I wish they'd just sell goddamned Fallout. It's sad when I say that I think Bioware might've made a more competent RPG.
>>340525029
>the Skyrim engine
It's the same engine.
What if Todd actually did nothing wrong?
What if he's been wanting to make good games only for Hines to constantly stop him and remove the features he promises?
>>340526258
It makes sense.
>>340525489
Todd is the face of the company and enables pete.
>>340525856
nah anon FO4 dialogue was just bad and poorly executed and also janky as fuck
They wanted to do the dialogue like Bioware style except that Bioware has far more experience with a voice protag and they are better at presentation in general.
>>340526258
I don't think Todd is as much of a faggot as /v/ pretends he is.
He's worked on Morrowind, he liked Kirkbride's stuff, I don't think he has ever called something too hard for players like Pete Hines does.

>some people actually believe that it makes financial sense to remake/remaster Morrowind
>There are people in this board who believe videogames isn't a business nor it should be
Look I want them to remake Oblivion which is objectively the best in the series, but it isn't going to happen. The remaster is Skyrim and you have to accept that because they are a company that, like any other company, exists to create profits.
>>340522538
hes right, the only people who would want a remake are the newfags that use morrowind overhaul and mge, and dont understand anything about the game other than it's an elder scrolls game
if they remade morrowind they would just fuck it all up
Pete is ruining Fallout and TES. Someone needs to kick him out. Holy fuck how come he is Vice president of Bethesda game studios.
>>340526790
yea good luck with that let me see you "remaster" the character models for all of the nps in Oblivion
Everyone forgets a huge problem that skyrim, oblivion, fallout 3 and fallout nv all share but morrowind got right
The stairs. In the later games If you try to run down stairs you just glide off the top step. If you want to actually descend the stairs step by step you have to walk. Same goes for hills. In morrowind you could be running super fast and still go down stairs properly
>>340526258
>"Can you help me? Pete Hines trapped my girlfriend on that ridge!"
I mean, he's right.
Would you rather pay a team to completely re-do every single texture, re-place every single object, record every single line of dialogue, possibly have to massively change the engine to get all of the skills and spells in and functioning properly, or would you rather just create an ultra-HD texture mod for Skyrim and then charge people $40 for it?
>>340526989
I seriously do not get why normies want a Skyrim remaster. What the fuck is the point? We've played that game for years. It's done.
Why have the put finances and time into a remaster of a game that isn't even that old. It seems fucking pointless. If anything, normies should be screaming for a Morrowind Remaster.
it's genuinely annoying me seeing normies hailing a Skyrim remaster, I don't fucking understand.
>>340522538
Can he even smile like an actual human at all?

>>340527531
And you are right but we don't know yet what they did with this "Enhanced Edition" maybe it is worth it we'll have to see.
There are many console players out there who are very excited about this.

This is kind of like an obnoxious and loudly talking guy spouting idiocy all day berating you for being so stupid... while spitting parts of his meal in you face.
>>340527862
>Why have the put finances and time
They're just going to slap the HD texture pack that they released for the PC version on it and call it good. PS4 and Xbone are practically PCs, so it wouldn't be much effort to port the game over.
>>340528304
>developers make a shit, half assed game and sell it like it's the best thing ever
FTFY
>>340526690
I do since they pretty much have a monopoly on the type of games they do.
>>340526790
Because the normies don't care about Oblivion.
>tfw we will never have a Oblivion with Skyrim's graphics and combat while retaining the stat system
I don't really see how Morrowind could really be that improved. The graphics are fine(I mean, for their age) and the game still plays really well, but Oblivion is fucking tough to look at, even with mods.
>>340522538
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz3OeROEt4M
>>340527862
Because it's cheap. It's not gonna be a remake, just basically just gonna be on par with the PC version with maybe some tacked on features like god rays.
>>340527862
If they released it for $40 or so I might snag it for PS4. I don't have a PC that can run it so it's kind of sort of attractive. IDK why I want to replay it but I'd give it another spin.
Not really something I ever asked for though.
Isn't this the same guy that basically said internal consistency in a fictional setting doesn't matter? Why the fuck should I care what a retard like that thinks?

>first person sandbox RPG's
Who cares if it's first person? especially when it is godawful first person with weightless weapons, zero impact and way points everywhere.
>huge interactivity
Nigga what? The interactivity in these games is garbage. Unless you're talking about the way you can pick up random bits of garbage in the game world and pose them around your house like an autistic hoarder. In terms of player interaction and control over the story as well as well as control over quest outcomes, bethesda games are fucking shit. Rather than create endings for different scenarios they just rail road you through the entire story and then give you a choice right at the end to choose the flavor of ending you want. They literally just make dozens of NPCs completely invincible because creating stories where they could die and it actually affects anything would be too hard.
>>340528646
>Because the normies don't care about Oblivion.
So Oblivion is a hardcore game for jaded outcasts now. Okay.
>>340528071
You seriously have never met anyone with this type of facial structure before?
>>340522538
>to remake Morrowind we would actually have to put in a bit of effort instead of just slapping on some HD textures and mod support for consoles like we're going to do with Skyrim
Good to know
>>340530558
>Who cares if it's first person?
I do? It's why I like them so much. You lose so much immersion when it's in third person. So many devs shoot themselves in the foot by forcing us to play in third person.
>The interactivity in these games is garbage
Not really. You can talk with every NPC and find that they usually have at least a few unique lines and they have a specific schedules and living quarters you can interact with. The alchemy, spell crafting, enchanting, hell even crafting to a point, is usually more involved than most RPG.Good amount of unique side quests that often leads to to interesting places. Many factions, fair amount of classes and play styles. All this in a package where everything can be experienced in first person.
Sure it's no Dwarf Fortress or Fallout 1-2. But to say it has litter interactivity compared to most RPG's is just silly.
>>340530943
Not sure where you got that from. It's no lie that Skyrim is Skyrim and Morrowind is fairly famous for being "old and cool". Oblivion just sort of sits there. Having many strong points and many bad points.
>>340526989
Objectively the best? In terms of?
Morrowind was Objectively best, hands down. Oblivion was a streamlined HD Morrowind with about 1/6 of the explorative content.
>>340531846
Implying any of you turds would actually buy a Morrowind remake.
>>340532205
Not him. But that's why I think Oblivion should be remade. It arguably has the most to gain from a revamp. Morrowind is already great as it is and tampering will just lead to it becoming worse, and Skyrim is mostly beyond fixing and needs to be reworked from the ground up.
But Oblivion has the framework to be really great, it just needs a lot more work to get there.
>>340532363
If the gameplay remain relatively intact and wasn't just Skyrim in Vvardenfell I would.
>>340532363
I would instantly preorder it even if it's shit
>>340531989
So you can keep immersed in a game that looks like shit, has 4 voice actors and the AI of a punch card computer? Thats pretty impressive.
>You can talk with every npc
No, you can talk with a very small number of npcs; but you can cause all npcs to spew out a very small series of lines. ARROW IN THE KNEE LOL.
> The alchemy, spell crafting, enchanting, hell even crafting to a point, is usually more involved than most RPG.
No, it really isn't. Spell crafting has only become more restricted as the series went on, and all the others are just lists of ingredients with modifiers on them.
Really this is all moot because you can have a massively complex game but it doesn't make a difference if it's all garbage.

>>340527531
>ultra HD
Skyrim remaster will probably just be whatever vanilla Skyrim is on high settings on PC
>>340532363
Oh, people would. Your typical consumer today wouldnt, since most of retards would love to buy Skyrim for second time and seriously beleive that next TES should be "Skyrim 2".
We are minority.
The Elder Scrolls really is doomed, isn't it? Why do I keep lying to myself?
>>340532752
>Thats pretty impressive.
Thank you.
>but you can cause all npcs to spew out a very small series of lines.
They still usually have a few unique lines though, to give them a bit of a background or personality if they are a named character. Which most are.Well, obviously not Daggerfall.
>Spell crafting has only become more restricted as the series went on
Doesn't change what the other games have.
>and all the others are just lists of ingredients with modifiers on them.
With some pretty expansive effects, and the sheer amount of ingredients are pretty amazing. And then there are modifiers that affect them like what type of alchemy equipment you have. What other sandbox RPG's have more advanced alchemy?
>Really this is all moot because you can have a massively complex game but it doesn't make a difference if it's all garbage.
Good thing it isn't then.

You have no idea how much I would love to see more games like TES and the newer Fallout's in the hands of better devs(just look at what Obsidian did to NV). But Beth are still pretty much the only ones who makes those types of games, and I love the concept of them so god damn fucking much.

Wew lad, at least pretend you're trying
It would take too much effort for them to remake it. Things would get to confusing for casuals if they went ahead and implemented the mount and blade type combat they were going for when they were making the game.
And since people can't seem to read for two minutes in role playing games, follow directions to a location, or bother exploring without some sort of fast travel system, there would be no interest in the game.
That being said, the game is still fine even today with the wide screen support mod and a couple bug fixes.
>>340534051

Of course that I would like to see it out, but I dont really expect that anymore.
>>340534531

In some article somewhere they said they wanted to make a unique combat system where you could attack and block in multiple directions.
>>340534593

>just think for moment before your click Post for fuck sake man
But if people did that it wouldn't be 4chan anymore.
>>340535030
Well, Morrowind's combat system is about as far from that of Mount&Blade as it could possibly get.
>>340534536
A proper "remake" wouldn't just be graphics.
It would mean adding some of the mechanics from the later games (dual-wielding....), voicing all the dialogue and many other things. It would cost way more than they would get from all the Morrowind neckbeards that would actually buy the game.
>>340535065
He was probably thinking about some of his expressions.
>>340535328
>It would cost way more than they would get
Not necessarily, if they marketed it properly. Which, chances are, they're incapable of doing, but that's another issue.
I don't even care that Morrowind isn't getting a remake as it doesn't need one, it's just this faggot's attitude and casual enabling that pisses me off

>>340528071
it WAS an xbox game though. it was literally on xbox.
you guys are acting more autistic than /r/pcmasterrace. he didn't say that as some sort of attack against le ebin pc. he's saying that it's an rpg from 2002. a simple "remaster" wouldn't work, you'd have to rebuilt the game from the ground up.
regardless, the main reason they're remastering skyrim is so they can expand their bethesda.net console modding platform. they've wanted mods on console for a long time, and now they have fallout 4 mods on console. bringing skyrim mods to console is an obvious and easy way for them to continue expanding their platform.
>>340528071
Quotes like these somewhat piss me off, but not about that guy.
I have no idea who he is, but fully believe he is a retard just because if he was involved with Fallout 3 and 4 he is shit and a fucking retard.
My problem is however that tons of dialogue, even in an RPG, is fucking terrible. Forcing a person to sit around and listen to a ton of people is usually a sign of really shitty long winded writing. RPG's are not real life, they are supposed to be interesting. Conversations should be things that keep you engaged for their duration. It's not like real life where people drone on about shit you could not care less about.
Playing through a lot of older games you get that a lot. Unfortunately in newer games they didn't "fix it," they just made you shorter burst of insanely boring shit you don't care about.

That's not what he said. He said they're the only ones making their particular type of RPG, and that's true. Name one other game that plays like the TES games while offering the same level of moddability.
>>340532205
Oblivion had the best quests.
>>340534569
>Deus Ex ain't open world, or sandbox.
Or fantasy. That's kind of important. You wouldn't recommend D&D for someone who wants to play a cyberpunk hacker. You'd point them to Shadowrun or something.
>>340524831
>Not the amount of reading
Lying piece of shit.

>I don't understand these faggots who shit on them and get really mad at their business and games and whatever but them buy them anyway. Is there really a place in their brain where they believe they will change if they keep giving them money?
Like others have said, no one else really makes the same kind of games they do. Maybe some of those people think buying TES games will show other devs that there's a market for similar games and we'll get high-quality TES clones.

???
why exactly did you post these
but more importantly why is this guy responding to all of these hysterical manchildren on his "personal" twitter account
Im just hopping into this thread because it had morrowind in the title
About a week ago I decided to start playing Morrowind again. Just after this, I've been seeing Morrowind threads almost every day, people are talking about playing Morrowind again, and Morrowind is getting alot of attention in general. All after i had started a new playthrough. This isn't the first time it's happened either, in fact it happens pretty consistently. It's like our cycles are synced.
So here's my question. Did anyone else experience this? Did anybody else here get the urge to play Morrowind before seeing all the threads pop up? I think it's evidence of a morphogenetic field
>>340541026
Nice call back.
>>340526258
Having worked with them,Did some programming work on oblivion. Nothing major, as I had just gotten my masters and that would have been my second job ever, unless you count internships, I'd have to say that's pretty much the case. Todd actually has passion for what he does, and though he does "lie" it's mostly because he doesn't have much involvement in the actual PR campaign creation. He get's handed a script to memorize for presentations and that's about it. He actually enjoys making games and wants to make them as good and fun as possible (unfortunately corporate gets in the way of that. A lot).
Hines doesn't have the same passion, he doesn't really care about what he's making, and that's why he acts the way he does.
>>340542517
Not really, I've been playing it on and off for years now.
>uninstalling Morrowind
>ever
>>340539569
>>340539658
Nothing wrong about this here. Only thing wrong is that he argues with them. More sensible would be for him to link them a youtube vid that explains review and streaming embargoes.
>>340542782
If that's true, it must be awful for him to see everyone giving him shit because he's the face of the company even if a lot of things aren't under his control.
The mage that dies from jumping in Morrowind is named Tarhiel.
You can change the sword Gold Brand into Eltonbrand.
Both are for Pete Hines.Demon Deacon is his twitter name for a reason.
He has been there a long ass time and has the leeway to talk shit to the retards that happen onto his twitter.
>>340543097
Back when I worked there, and as far as I know this is still true, Todd doesn't really have much of an internet presence. Now, he could post on sites like this or random forums (I wouldn't know, I don't have access to his internet history and browsing data), but it's entirely possible he really doesn't know much about Toddposting. And even if he did, I doubt it would bother him. He's a rather chill guy, not liable to get upset at stupid stuff like that.
>>340543492
>He has been there a long ass time and has the leeway to talk shit to the retards that happen onto his twitter.
Yes, and now he's stopped making RPGs in order to cater to Beth's new clientele of faggot casuals that think Fallout 4 and Skyrim are the apex RPG design.
He deserves no respect. No developer that sells out and makes garbage deserves respect. GabeN stopped making games completely and shafted every Half-Life fan, yet people still suck his dick. John Carmack is making Facebook goggles for the Jew Emperor of mankind.
Did these guys do good things? Yeah. Are they doing good things now? No. They ceased to be relevant when they started producing garbage. Carmack is forgivable because he seems more keen on the technology side of things than videogames, hence his work on VR. But people still wank on him as a game dev, when he hasn't done anything relevant to videogames for years.
>>340543674
Well, Toddposting really took off after Skyrim, so I don't think he could be unaware of it if he spends any time reading anything about his games. Still, it's good to know it might not bother him that much. I remember seeing some people calling him "Shitler", which I thought was so ridiculous I just had to laugh, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant seriously and was more of a caricature of the things his critics say about him. Hopefully he'd get a laugh out of it as well.
>>340542418
Then you guys are delusional. You want "high quality" games with "shit loads of content" but expect some random small developer to do that? Creating that shit cost millions which means it will always try to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
What emotion is this expression trying to convey?
>>340544539
They could probably cut costs if they decided to leave the game unvoiced and kept the graphics modest, neither of which would bother me. In fact, not having voice acting would also give them greater freedom to write more stuff.
>>340528317

>It doesn't even matter what I say to these morons, our games will sell 10 million copies anyway at this point, can't wait to retire after 3 more games
>>340522538
He's right though. You wouldn't want a Morrowind remake. Bethesda wouldn't make it nearly the same because casuals wouldn't buy it. It'd be Skyrim with mushrooms.
>>340522538
I'm so glad this fucking huge turd joined so late in the development process of Morrowind he barely affected anything.
Too bad his infection of shitty marketing ideas did take root in the later games, tho.
>>340545379
They did Solstheim in Dragonborn that's the fanservice for you Morrowind fans
>>340545379
>It'd be Skyrim with mushrooms.
That's what Morrowind has always been but you guys will never admit it.
>>340544606
"Oh boy another Jet question."
FO 2 tells you Myron lied .Deal with it nerds.
>>340545990
Morrowind has attributes, classes, deeper enchanting systems, way more armor and weapon types, but okay.
>>340545526
He was always a PR guy not a dev.
>>340538860
Here, I made this masterpiece just for you.
>>340524537

>>340546419
10/10
>>340546245
So add
Mushrooms
Broken enchanting
Broken Alchemy
30 more equipment slots
and of course
Shitty combat
And that will tickle your pickle?
>>340545990
>>340546245
Add to that magic that's been missing since Oblivion, much more original factions , creatures, quests, and culture, mark/recall/stilt striders instead of fast travel, hand-placed loot, no level scaling...there's more, I'm sure.
Funny thing is, Skyrim would simply be a better game for having this content in it. It's either by virtue of laziness or the need for everything to be "streamlined" that none of this is in.
>>340546620
You forgot classes, attributes and weapon variety. Don't need to add shitty combat though. Every Elder Scrolls game already had that.
>>340546245
The core experience of every TES game since Daggerfall has been the same. The frame was changed a bit.
>>340546768
>classes, attributes
memes, superfluous memes
>>340546908
Honestly I disagree. I think Morrowind having a smaller, condensed world radically changed the formula.
>>340522538
It was an Xbox game, the controls and interface were garbage on PC, even if PC was the definitive version
>>340522538
haha so true.
looks like I'm a #Hineseken now!

>>340525856
A least Bioware would have given you the option to have sex with a super mutant.
>>340546245
>Morrowind classes
So aside from skill and attribute bonus at the start how relevant are they in the rest of the game?
Most players and guides say that they don't matter at all and you can become a warrior-mage-stealth character anyway at high lvl.
They should have advantages and disadvantages.
Wouldn't it had been interesting if magic classes could have Magicka regen by default and the warrior and stealth ones have to use gear or potion to get it.
>>340548282
Or a ghoul.
>>340547143
that's true that was a big change for the series but it was the obvious thing to do.
ever since morrowind it's been pretty much the same formula so much for the errtime we do one we have the opportunity to reboot the series - that's another Howard meme
change is definitely needed to keep things fresh you see how many have said that fallout 4 feels so very familiar and it was too familiar in fact oblivion with guns,skyrim with guns? not too far off
>>340548183
kek
>>340547623

>>340548636
You see that ghoul? You can fuck it! (in the dlc)
>>340522538
This desu senpai
>>340546768
Has anyone ever played one of the classes in a TES game?
I guess the three archetypes get some time but custom is the norm.
>>340522538
>Pete Hines
Why is this man even allowed to represent the company? All he does is say stupid shit and get ridiculed for it.
>>340548636
Or Curie in robot form.
>>340549585
>Has anyone ever played one of the classes in a TES game?
I think I did it once in my very first playthrough of Oblivion when I was completely new to the series, but I quickly realized that classes are meaningless in TES and made a custom class every time after that.
>>340533665
Lying his whole fucking life.
>>340549585
The default classes while thematic were shit in actual gameplay. This was true in both morrowind and oblivion. I can't imagine anyone not new to the series using them.
>>340549129
I would seriously love it if Todd actually said something like this. He probably would, too, if those earlier posts about him are true.
>>340550651
Yeah, it's not like choosing a class gave you access to anything you couldn't get otherwise. Skyrim has its problems, but getting rid of classes isn't really one of them.
>>340524537
>bad at video games
>"the game is bad"
>t. you

fucking disgusting

>>340548183

>>340524537
Morrowinds combat was a bad idea that was poorly implemented.
It was like trying to broadcast a cartoon live.
>>340551065
Obsidian hates romance.
>>340522538
does anyone have the quote of him saying dialogue is boring and he wishes he could just walk away?
>>340539569
he fucking knows he destroyed 4 and didn't want any to see the abomination or sales would have dropped
elder scrolls single player is dead, I hope Zenimax Studios make a sequel to ESO. Shit was cash and atmospheric with love put into it.
>>340551269
No they hate straight romance
>>340522538
>It was an Xbox game.
>>340550651
>>340550864
I guess classes are good to guide new players in choosing an effective playstyle I mean if you're really new to this kind of games but really they did a shitty job at that
>>340548636

>she's not even moist not at all
If that were the case, I don't think she'd be coming on to you.
It was indeed an xbox game
I remember my friend at like 12 years old calling me and telling me to play it. It was very popular too.
literal retards clinging to muh master race and hating people more successful. Truly disgusting.
a remake would be cool but he's right. It would take a huge team and why would they do that when their new games are selling many millions of units.
>>340544606
>what a buncha nerds, why am i talking to these nolifers?
>>340551646
It's a little bit Todd's fault.
>>340551781
Yeah! Why would you remake the best game of your series? It's not like it would be profitable, what demand? Pfffffcfcht, what do you mean "fans"? Let's get to work on Skyrim 2, THAT is what people want. I'll take shallow gameplay, easy on the content, and watered down graphics please.
>>340548636
You can have hot gay sex with Hancock.
>>340526258
>Todd wants to be hardcore but Pete won't let him
Funny, but I wouldn't count on it.
>>340527531
And yet we have mods like Interesting NPCs or Falskaar that do literally all of this for fucking free by some random teenager. But yeah, I'm sure this would be so hard for a corporate giant whose zero effort games sell 10~20 million units each.
>>340552674
>Falskaar
Absolutely shit.
Remastering a game is HARD WORK. Work is BORING, am I right? Just like dialogue. Ugh. Now that all of that silly "remake" talk is out of the way... who wants a new Fallout game?
>>340552863
It's not that bad. It's basically just more Skyrim. Nothing that really does anything different, but it's fun enough.
>>340551781
You're a fucking idiot.
People are mad because Hines is shitting on PC by saying morrowind was an Xbox game, forgetting that morrowind and all previous elder scrolls games were made on PC.
PC users made Bethesda who they are today, and Bethesda is pissing on them.

>>340552367
I love the inconsistency. One person comes on to you and all you can say is "I won't sleep with you because I just lost my spouse." Meanwhile, at the exact same time, you could very easily be in a romance with your companion that started after even less time had passed since your loss.
Although, this is the same game where a kid doesn't go insane from 200 years of total isolation, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
>>340553663
>>340553663

I can't be bothered to read all this. So here's a response.
>>340554857
the draw distance was laughable, the water effects, magic effects, textures. everything. the journal was unusable. it was horrible visually. and even with all that the frame rate was shit
i remember going back to it after playing the PC version and being taken blown away by how fucking shit it was by comparison
all that being said, playing morrowind fr the first time, even on xbox, was one of the best experiences ive ever had in gaming. and the fact that you could seemlessly swap to the GOTY edition was great
but that was also the moment that i realised just how inferior consoles are. and how most or maybe even all console players who claim to prefer consoles are just waiting to be redpilled

It is on the series of videos that cover Bethesda from Terminator and selling the football game that became Madden up until Oblivion that show up here every now and again.
Also there are many articles they credit the XBox launch for saving the company.It shouldn't be hard to google them if you really care to.
