As far as pure roleplaying goes, is Morrowind the best in that regard?
>>
>>339271130
Eh... there are newer games that have been able to make role playing more immersive and nuanced based on your decisions.

I mean no video game has done roleplaying as well as D&D or something like that. But Morrowind has tons of mods and lots of flexibility so you can play pretty much whatever you'd like.

You will probably find your roleplaying itch scratched, though maybe not entirely.

That's wrong. The other games force everything on you. NPCs have the same 2 lines of dialogue, you are always the dragonborn from the start and you have no say in it, you can't easily pretend you're not. Even if you use mods, NPCs still react to you as the dragonborn. The game's lack of specialization or skills and removal of attributes, plus the removal of custom classes with custom bio/histories both makes the RP aspect extremely unsatisfying and also, with the help of the fact that creatures scale and attack you every 25 seconds on the road, cuts off from A LOT of roleplaying type of characters such as merchants, priests, etc.

Morrowind didn't force anything on you. You were free to do anything. NPCs, while usually having only a couple entries of unique dialogue, at very least had a lot of dialogue depending on who they were. Someone living in Ald-ruhn can tell you lots of things about Ald-ruhn, and if he's a member of the tribunal temple, he can tell you all about them and their beliefs. If you install LGNPC, pretty much every NPC has paragraphs of unique dialogue. There is no equivalent of this in Skyrim. You can ignore the whole nerevarine thing completely and the game doesn't force it on you. You also can't break immersion by doing things like becoming the arch mage of the Mages' Guild while being a heavy armor claymore wielding berserker.

I just want an overhaul to h2h now that I think about it.
Like fatigue is damaged only if you are fully unarmed.
Gauntlets now determine if you are fully unarmed.
Have something that's considered unarmored? You are also unarmed. Have an armored gauntlet on? Hitting right to their health.
Think it would be cool if gauntlets could be enchanted to cast on strike, and it would be randomly pick what hand to cast from if you had two gauntlets on that were enchanted.

I mean imagine punching someone and paralyzing them.

In my experience, the only people who whine about the whole "canon/non canon" thing are Kirkbriders/Kirk kultists/Kirkies/Kirkfags/whatever you want to call them.

It's no secret around here that they get on my nerves. Seriously have you seen /r/teslore? If you would ask them, they'd have you believe that TES as we know it exists almost solely because of Kirkbride, to the point that TES Lore belongs exclusively to him.

What I find particularly teeth grating is just how two-sided they are about this. When it comes to us calling Kirkbride non-canon, they'll bring up a long tirade like this. Yet when it comes to Kirkbride's fanwankery (IE his towers theory), it is peddled around as if it is 100% established fact that you should never question ever because it has an (ex) developer behind it and that makes it authority.

In short, what this REALLY amounts to is "Nothing is canon... unless it comes from Kirkbride, then it's complete fact." Bah.

As someone who deals with creationists, fascists, and and other internet loonies on an almost daily basis (also why I'm kinda a crab ass), it's not hard for me to read between the lines to differentiate what people say vs what they really mean. And I can see the real agenda between this whole "attack on the concept of canon" thing:

It's not about "your imagination", it's about Kirkbride trying to use his fan cult to circumvent what the other writers (and the other fans in general) want to peddle his humanocentric, Metaphysical 9th era woo when Beth and Zen don't want anything to do with it. It's not about challenging the notion of "canon" or "non-canon", it's about Kirk giving his cultists a convenient escape hatch for when they're losing arguments. It's not about freedom of opinion, it's about push one particular opinion without having to be arsed to back it up with anything: the opinion, oh sorry, "truth" of Pope Kirk.

Whoa, too many words.

The reality is, Kirkbride is not under contract. That is fact. And anything and everything he writes while not under contract is legally fanfiction and is not part of the ongoing canon. Simple as that.
>>
>>339281873
One giant fallacy here you fail to consider.

Kirkbride's stuff is GOOD. A large quantity of Bethesda stuff is uninspired and BAD. The lore community has determined this for themselves and decided they will consider Kirkbride's stuff canon. If it wasn't GOOD they wouldn't do this. How do you determine what is canon in fiction? If the entire lore fanbase believes MK's stuff is canon, then why isn't it canon? If Bethesda releases something like ESO and the community rejects it completely, is it still canon?

If an oppressive government declares a day "leader celebration day" and makes a festival, but none of the citizenry comes because they hate the leader, is it really a festive holiday? Same idea. The community can band together to completely undermine the actions of a bad company and choose something else to follow.

Irrelevant what you or I consider. Beth decides and given the fact that they haven't hired Kirkbride, it's safe to say he's a hack and they want nothing to do with him.

> If Bethesda releases something like ESO and the community rejects it completely, is it still canon?

Yes, if they decide it's canon. They decided ESO is not canon so it's not.

>If the entire lore fanbase believes MK's stuff is canon, then why isn't it canon?

Because the "entire lore fanbase" actually consists of a VERY small subset of people and it's not their decision.
