Make your secondary your main and move everything of importance over to your actual main monitor.
>>122761885
I'm sorry then...
>>122761432
Well I've been told they'll find a way to work around that outcome.
>>122762503
There's no workaround.
You destroy the towers, BOOM, Tamriel no longer exists.
The workaround is that the Thalmor believe that when the towers are destroyed, they become like gods.
>>122762503
Nnng, thought so. Hoped there was a .ini setting to make it happen without it. Oh well, good bye desktop arrangement.
>>122762503
you should be sorry you mistake
Altmer are the best
>>122762662
Well honestly, there might be an actual way like that but I just do it this way so every game I open up goes to the bigger and all my everything else starts on the smaller.
>>122762653
I've been told that the ends justify the means.
>>122762718
:<
First for Morrowind Watercolored, kindly linked to in Demwaifus.
>>122762843
It's not going to happen either way because when the towers die, that means TES dies. Can't have TES games without the Elder Scrolls and Tamriel.
The only way I can see the destruction of the towers working if Bethesda pulls a "the Kirkbride stops here!" and says that killing the towers causes a new cycle or kalpa and Tamriel gets reset, like what happened to the dreugh.
>>122763097
>kindly
It's not an achievement though, familiar.
>>122762719
Especially when you can't even tell they're altmer without consulting UESP.

>>122763154
Honestly after some time it just has to end though, that plot can't go on forever else it gets stale. And the "new cycle" is basically a free card to make a "new TES" that still uses stuff from the previous games so they don't have to think of an ALL NEW universe. They can still use most of the history/lore and probably a bit of the races and places and probably breathe in some new life into the series by adding stuff that previously didn't fit.
They could pull off shit like industrialization, renaissance or hell, they could make a cyberpunk spinoff. Just imagine the possibilities, they could evenmerge Elderscrolls with FalloutJesus Christ, how horrifying!

Piper is shit, Curie is best girl
This is slowly driving me insane
I have the memory patch and Skyrim still CTDs nonstop when it gets so much as close to the old 256 limit. It doesn't even reach it; it'll CTD at anywhere between 225-236 despite everything saying that 512 is working.
What the hell has gone wrong?
>>122765428
Why would a new cycle give you industrialization or a renaissance?
If anything, we'd be back to smashing each other with sticks and rocks in some prehistoric "iron age" Fire And Ice world.
Now that I think of it... that'd be pretty cool.
A TES game set in a world where the mightiest weapon and armour set is iron.

That reminds me, I'm still hoping for Todd to say "Lets get REALLY ambitious for the next TES game and hire some guys from the (traditional) roguelike scene, and get some compscience guys and make a huge map with some handmade parts of the map stitched together with seeded random map parts."
All I want to experience is TES Arena in modern 3D.
I wanna spend a month walking from Skyrim to Elsewyr.

Are you using ENB? Is it set up correctly? If not, go get it now. What GPU are you running?
>>122765886
I imagine you just have printed, framed screenshots of Juno all over your home.
>>122766025
It's a AMD Radeon HD 7560D
I've got ENB installed but I just use it for ENBoost.
>>122766459
Forgot to mention, get the latest binary, and set ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false .
Also try EnableCompression=false . What did you set your videomemory and reservedmemory to?
>>122766863
>>122766459
Oh, and get Stable uGridsToLoad, if you haven't. Also remove safetyload, if you're using it.
>>122765995
Hahaha.
That's funny.
Planning on restarting and trying to finish the game at last [spoler] wont happen [/spoiler], remember playing vanilla ofr a while, is there any good mods that i should install and they will "fit" into "vanilla" type of game?
Right now installed faster running because fuck the police, couple of official plugins and that huge graphics-upgrade pack(can't remember how its called).
Oh, and mod that gives x5 if you only level once and not 10 times, remember how i was just suffering through leveling 30 skills before levelup because i didn't wanted to lose stats.
Also what skills are people like to take? From work cant give screen, but i think i decided to pick: to major long blades, light armor, conjuration, mythicism, illusion and something i can't remember, i think alteration. I also picked speechcraft and sneking either in major or minor.
Is Fallout 4 worth it?
From everything what I've seen F4 doesn't even get near to NV or even Skyrim and those games are 5 years old
I will ask here because /fog/ is full of bethdrones
>>122767850
If you want EPIC ADVENTURE, RICH WORLD, EXITING THINGS then you stopped playing after morrowind.
If you want big world in which you can spend 60+ hours doing stuff then yea.
>>122767850
Did you enjoy blasting fucks the fuck out in PA in FO1 and FO2?
Get FO4.
Do you enjoy being autistic? Stick to Skyrim.
>>122767850
It's an alright game to fuck around with, just wait until all the dlc and patches are out, this shit is unoptimized as fuck
Do ward spells take your magic resistance or weakness into account? For example, would taking the apprentice stone effectively lessen the damage threshold of my wards? Or would going Breton effectively strengthen them?
>>122767745
>what_the_fuck_am_i_reading.jpg
I use BTB's Game Improvements, whatever I don't like, I change in MWEdit. Luckily it's minor things.
Other than that, you can play how you want. Vanilla Morrowind is extremely broken, and extremely unsatisfying in some aspects (kill a Nix-Hound, its meat is worth shit, what the fuck).
With BTB's Game Improvements you are forced to play your character (Misc Skills increase so slowly it's basically pointless to train them).

10/10 gameplay omgod
Thing is, this is a TES thread. TESVI won't support anything remotely similar to the improvements in the Fallout gameplay because it doesn't have shooting or robots, which where the only things improved in that series.
Almost everything else was worse. Just like Oblivion to Skyrim.
>>122768847

Skyrim wasn't better or worse overall
The combat was slightly better
The world building was all around better
The dungeons were all around better
The loot design was better
The questing was worse
The dialog was worse
The leveling execution was worse
>>122765743
"science" is halted in Tamriel because of magic and conflict. If the sentient inhabitants of the next iteration are unable to utilize magicka themselves, they might follow the way of the dwemer and build constructs that do the work for it, with or without magic.
Sure, it probably will take a while before civilization developes, but who's to say it has to be at the beginning of the cycle? Though you are right, a stone-age TES might be fun. Would give Toddy a reason to reimplement spears.I still wouldn't be surprised if Toddy merged the two games though. Disappointed, but not surprised.
>>122769456
T-thanks
>>122769565
http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/133/
Really though, TESVI will be so bad. Just look at the work put into the "greatest city we've ever made" in Fallout and how many sales the game got despite even being short for a Bethesda game.
Even when you try to imagine the improvements a newer title might bring nothing comes to mind outside of graphics and physics. Maybe voice acting? Writing will be complete garbage and the combat will likely still stay shit.
>>122769373
That's a good idea kiddo. Will do.
>>122769659
>The combat was slightly better
No jump attacks, no attacks underwater, more animation locks, less animations, less combat mods thanks to new restrictions. They changed how magic works(arguably better or worse) and gave you duel wielding which was shit.
>The world building was all around better
Smaller world with clutter in it. Maybe you're right here but it's subjective. I liked even vanilla Oblivion's world better let alone modded.
>The dungeons were all around better
Still shit and worse than Morrowind.
>The loot design was better
No it wasn't, you couldn't even choose which pants you wore and staffs were casual af. Less models too until DLC but they were still mostly shit.
>The questing was worse
>The dialog was worse
>The leveling execution was worse
Smart guy.
>>122768765
Nono, read the readme, it's incredibly. Part of that is what makes it so easy for me to edit, since he was kind enough to list everything.
You get some weird changes, such as certain items having a name that isn't reflected by the changed enchantments. But other than that (which can be quickly fixed in MWEdit), it's pretty great, I can't play without it.
>>122770091
make your own game then you nerd
>>122770091
You should really take off your nostalgia goggles.
>>122770091
>you couldn't even choose which pants you wore and staffs were casual af
Thats the equipment system, I'm talking about loot placement and risk/reward to getting them, like how uniques dont scale and they're all around good weapons until super late game.
>>122770091
Actually I take the last part back, the leveling execution was slightly better than vanilla Oblivions because Oblivions system didn't actually work and was broken at launch meaning that if you chose your primary skills you actually wanted they would level slow as fuck later.
>>122763154
>Can't have TES games without the Elder Scrolls and Tamriel.
TES VI: Akavir.
>>122770743
Not him, but Morrowind is a much better game than Skyrim in almost every sense.
- Better worldbuilding
- Better quests
- More and better factions
- Many more RPG possibilities
- More lore that made the game actually feel alive instead of "yeah, dragons are around and there's a civil war going on".
Skyrim's only objective gameplay improvements were dual-wielding and... nothing else I can think of, to be honest. I prefer dice-rolling combat myself, then again, that's a subjective opinion.
>>122770743
>>122773905
Forgot to mention Skyrim was my first ever open world RPG (only played Final Fantasy before). Then came Fallout 3, then New Vegas, and only a few months ago Morrowind.
Christ, working through this STEP guide now, been about 3 hours so far. Fucking thing had better be in a decent playable state at the end of this.
Can I just toss CBBE in at the end of the mod list, after the STEP bashed patch, overwriting what comes previously in terms of textures and normals? Should that work ok?
>>122773328
>TES VI: Akavir
>we want the JRPG audience
>>122773905
Morrowwinds good and all, but I reckon that if you try and sell it to people as the best RPG ever, but they've played a lot of the more modern Bethesda offerings first, they're going to find the whole affair somewhat slow and clunky in comparison.
At the time, Morrowind blew my mind away, but now, trying to recommend it to people who are coming off of Fallout and Skyrim, I've gotten somewhat mixed feelings from that about it. Its definitely more old school than most people are happy with these days.
Just don't make em like they used to.
>>122765995
Not going to happen anon, because you can't sell that to console players.

I just decided to reinstall skyrim and noticed there's a unofficial patch for the legendary edition. Is there any point to using that instead of the individual unofficial patches?
>>122778773
It's merged, more than anything.
I'd stick with the USKP, most mods with patches for it aren't compatible with the legendary one.

Why couldn't they do that shit on a different day? I'm reinstalling all my favourite Oblivion mods, and I was planning on starting my run tomorrow. Now I probably have to delay my run until saturday or even sunday because I can't finish my modlist today.
Is there a mod that replaces bosmer eyes in oblivion with black ones?
>>122784235
All I wanted to do was check and see if there was any cool Temple of Dibella mods before I started playing and now I can't and I can't bring myself to play either. Fuck everything.
>>122768575
Something to do:
Heljarchen Farm (Basically you manage a farm and get gold and hire guards and workers and shit)

Something to Learn:
Undeath, other Lorey Mods
Something to explore:
Moonpath to Cat Town, Falskaar, Wyrmstooth

You could use the Bosmer eye textures from OCO2 as replacements for the vanilla textures.

>dungeons were all around better

>it has draugur and vermin
>repeat in adfinitum
The only good dungeons are the main story ones since all the effort wen into them.
>>122785012
Falskaar is fucking garbage though. Recommend something worthwhile. Darkend is a very solid lengthy dungeon crawl and Trainwiz's stuff is okay if you like dwemershit.
>>122785136
Even those boring Skyrim crypts were a lot better than the ones in Oblivion.
Making FO3 and having Obsidian make FONV really taught Bethesda some new tricks on designing dungeons.
Oblivion was really... vanilla combat-centric RPG design. "here's your enemy, here's your loot, NEXT ROOM."
>>122785395
Ayleid and Imperial ruins in Oblivion are creepy as fuck.
>>122785136
Going back and replaying Oblivion recently, I think I preferred Oblivion's. A lot of them felt samey visually but they usually had pretty varied enemies in them and there were a number of them that did neat stuff, like the caves that broke into Ayleid ruins and whatever. Plus Shivering Isles had a bunch of solid new dungeons with interesting designs.
Skyrim's only really good dungeons were the story-related dwemer ruins and some of Dawnguard's.
>>122785395
NV's level design was boring as fuck though, what.
>take a long time off from playing skyrim

I've got a fuck ton of mods installed, many of which are shit-rigged together to get specific results, and NEITHER of these options is making me happy.
What is the best course of action here?
>>122785574
Go back in time and don't use NMM. You should've stuck with manual+Wrye until MO came along like normal people.
>>122785529
How can you confuse dungeon design with level design? Are you stupid?
NV's "dungeons" make my dick hard.
Vague letter here, skeleton there with a pistol over there.
NV has fucking four-room houses that are more memorable than entire dungeons in Oblivion.
>>122785702
I'm too autistic to learn how Wyre works - tried figuring it out once, think I fucked up something and than it just wouldn't launch - and NMM was the only thing out at the time.
I don't want to lose my cute girls, and unstable set ups, but fucking god dammit, Nexus. I knew it would screw me over again one day.

>>122765269

>>122786084
I'd be fine with doing manual installs if I didn't have so many fucking mods.
NMM is only useful because there are mods I use that have custom set ups, and the fact that I can uninstall shit safely.
>>122786509
Immersive is just a buzzword in that mods case. Its actually just a collection of armor mods from all over compiled into one mod and spread throughout the game and on certain NPC like Jarls, Imperial Generals or Officers, etc.

ou said 'etc.' so what all do I need, and where do I put it if I use MO?
>>122786482
I use OCO2's textures over OCO's headshape's because the former's look godawful.
I'm not really an experienced modder. I could ditch OCO because all I'm using is the headshapes, but I don't want to be stuck with OCO2's heads or hair replacements.
>>122785395
At least Oblivion had a damn good variety of enemies as well as the Shivering Isles. When it comes to Skyrim, the design is piss poor.
You get some twists and turns, some linen wraps strewn all over despite them being useless and just clutter, with maybe some stupid turn-table puzzle regarding snakes and whales, with bottles of oil laying around to act as a casual way to disperse enemies.
Then your enemies consist of one of three things. Draugur, Vermin, or bandits. Where are the Daedra? Where are the bloody minotaurs, land dreughs, and spriggans?
>>122787137
Your actual load order should be in %appdata%\Local\Skyrim. loadorder.txt is the list of all the mods you currently have in your data folder and plugins.txt is the list of all the mods you currently have active.
This is assuming NMM doesn't move them anywhere, but if it does they should still have those filenames so maybe dig around in the NMM folders if you can't find them in appdata. MO should be the same waybut I've never used it so I dunno.

Okay. Alternatively; I want to install the previous version I had, and I have a question about that:
I'm assuming that when Nexus downloads the update, it puts the installer somewhere. Would you happen to know where, if such a thing existed?

icecream hair best hair
Post waifus with big dicks
>>122787734
I like to think Oblivion doesn't take itself too seriously. Also, the one hair it replaces for imperial women is the one I use, and it frankly looks like it was more meant for nords.
>>122788063
I really like that one female hairstyle.
The one new one I'm not a huge fan of is the alternate loose hairstyle. Something about it looks really off.
>>122787776
I don't think it has to do with Bethesda not being able to do it, and more with Bethesda getting (artistically) fucked over by their own success.
My old housemate has four favourite game series. God of War, Halo, Battlefield and The Elder Scrolls. He doesn't care about well-written quests. He only cares about one-shotting a giant with his bow.
Remember, Todd Howard is the guy who turned Morrowind into that amazing game we all loved.
Nothing changed except the amount of people playing TES games.
Is there a place I can go to get the previous versions of NMM?
>>122787430
>Where are the Daedra? Where are the bloody minotaurs, land dreughs, and spriggans?
This. People complain that Oblivion felt too "generic high fantasy" or whatever but literally all Skyrim has is wolves and bears and lions and then maybe a giant spider. Oblivion had skeletons and zombies and ghosts and wraiths that were all different enemies with different attack styles. Skyrim has skeletons and draugr, which are fundamentally identical to skeletons except they yell at you.
Oblivion had scamps and clannfear and hungers and xivilai and daedroths, and minotaurs and ogres and land dreughs and will-o-the-wisps and I can't even fucking remember half of what it had because there was so much fucking variety, and I'm not even counting human enemies.
Skyrim has wispmothers? I guess those are a thing? Even the falmer are less interesting than Oblivion's goblins. Fuck, the most interesting enemies in Skyrim are the ones they took from Morrowind. The only genuinely cool thing about Skyrim's enemies are giants, and mostly because they're not immediately hostile to you.
>>122788149
>Remember, Todd Howard is the guy who turned Morrowind into that amazing game we all loved.
And George Lucas wrote the first Star Wars trilogy and the Indy trilogy.
Money and success go to people's heads extremely quickly.
>>122788537

It's not about money and success.
It's about "hurr durr i tried playing oblivion/morrowind and it sucked and was hard".
>>122788349
bing
>>122788475
Falmer are genuinely boring to fight.
>>122788149
>I don't think it has to do with Bethesda not being able to do it
Neither do I, but the reason why Beth don't put any effort in its games is because, ultimately, it simple doesn't matter, their next game will sell millions regardless of its own quality and mods will "fix" its issues i.e. reduce them do a tolerable level.
>>122788475
>Skyrim has wispmothers?
I honestly think I only fought a maximum 3 or 4 of them in a +60 hours playthrough, and the lore about they being a witch coven that achieved immortality through some wierd ass ice-necromancy is never explored.
>>122788693
Okay, it's about the success. As in the enlarged playerbase.
The more people play, the more it'll get casualized.
Mind you, we now live in the post-Dark Souls era, so HARD ARR PEE GEES are cool now.
...We can hope.
>>122788537
But George Lucas was a retard from the start and Star Wars was saved by its editing.
Todd's problem is that he can't be as involved in the design process as he used to be, because the games are so popular now. He has to play the producer role, he can't sit down as project lead like he did with Redguard and Morrowind and make a cool weird game anymore. He isn't free to experiment.
>>122789021
*weird
>>122765720
>>122766459 here again, I'm even more confused now.
I turned Skyrim on and left it running in the Alt Start room to see if it'd CTD by itself while I went to do other things.
It kept running for about 15 minutes when my task manager suddenly reported a massive spike in memory (81% to 95%) just as Skyrim CTD'd again.
I checked the memory block log and the first block barely even reached 256 or 512.

What the hell is going on?
>>122789021
I can honestly only remember seeing them on three occasions since the game came out, and one of them was part of a quest. None of them were memorable.
Dragons were nice, I'll give Skyrim dragons. Dragon fights were big and boisterous and could be fun, and still are fun to come back to after a while. But they're not hard, and they telegraph their presence from so far away that it's impossible to be truly startled by one, unlike say getting charged by a minotaur out of nowhere in the woods in Oblivion.
>>122788147
I just wish I knew how to bang it all together and come out with something I want.
So, when is TES akaVIr getting announced?
Are the tsaesci actually snakes or is it just a big lie?
In Mysterious Akavir they are described as snake people, while in A Children's Anuad they are listed as one of the races of men.
>>122789410
Eh, I remember exiting a dungeon, running into a sabertooth tiger attacking a mammoth, deciding I'd join in to kill them both for double easy loot, and getting BTFO by a dragon out of fucking nowhere.
>>122789150
I can understand that, but it doesn't change the fact that he's not really helping in any way pushing the games back in the current direction.
As they say, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, or something like that.
>>122789412

>>122789115
>Mind you, we now live in the post-Dark Souls era, so HARD ARR PEE GEES are cool now
Morrowind charm was not that it was hard (really, is quite a easy game once you understand its mechanics and explore a little), but rather because it had a incredibly well thought world, with genuinely interesting stuff in it.
>>122789410
> None of them were memorable.
Yeah it is a shame, since specially they an actually interesting lore behind.
>>122789667
>Eh, I remember exiting a dungeon, running into a sabertooth tiger attacking a mammoth, deciding I'd join in to kill them both for double easy loot, and getting BTFO by a dragon out of fucking nowhere.
That also happened to me once, with an Ancient Dragon, but it is a shame that dragons had most of their shouts removed outside the generic fire/cold breath. They could have been actually challenging in a way that was not "They have 100.000hp and deal 5.000 damage per attack".
>>122790169
I have only the faintest idea what I'm doing when it comes to modding. I'll probably just mess around with the mod files until I actually get somewhere with them.
>>122790356
Hard might have been the wrong wording... perhaps "hardcore" would be better.
Hardcore meaning an RPG with a world and quests you can put your teeth into, like oldschool Bethesda rpgs, the Witcher games, the Souls games.
Opposed to casual rpgs like the Dragon Age games. Fun interesting charactersMORRIGAN THE MOSTEset in a boring world as flat as a puddle. (Or more like a theoretically interesting world that is presented incredibly boring in the games.)

Wispmothers are memorable if you've met one early on, because they can be quite tough. I think they made them intentionally rare, but most people will only encounter them when they're so powerful they'll barely even noticed they've killed one.
>>122790783
You forgot you are name, T-Whiz :^)
Speaking of Oblivion's monsters, is there anything for Skyrim on par with MMM yet? Vicn's monsters were neat but there's not that many, and Immersive Creatures looks like a bunch of shit mashed together from STALKER and The Witcher with no regard for how they actually fit in the game.
>>122790698
Taking in account FO4, I honestly doubt it.
>>122790923
I think that the most easy to find Wispmother is that one in the well close to Ivarstead, but even if you only stick to the main quest you will easily be level 15 by the time you fight her, albeit I enjoyed following the wisp around only to be leaded to her like a moron.
>>122791552
>in depth modding system
>Power Armour system closest to FO1 since ever
I dunno about that.
>>122790698
Dragon Age was purposefully focus-shifted. They focused on characters and their development instead of an environment. It's clear when you read the dev interviews.
Meanwhile TES focused on a vivid world where things happen, which automatically lead to somewhat interesting characters, even if just for a short sidequest.
>>122792402
I want to see FO4's weapon and armor crafting system in TES6 somehow. Even something along the lines of Way of the Samurai's sword collecting and customization would be really neat.
>>122792402
>in depth modding system
>Power Armour system closest to FO1 since ever
None of those really make a RPG "hardcore".
>>122792957
I don't see a fucking Halo retard on his Xbox messing with FO4's modding system.
>>122793197

Still not really impressive, and even then a weapon modding system is not crucial or even really important to a RPG.

But no, nowadays "hardcore RPG" just means statpoints, corridors of walking loot and meaningless dialogues
>>122794442
But New Vegas is actually good. I'm afraid you might be what we in the trade call a casual.
>>122794442
New Vegas is objectively a superior RPG than Skyrim, but sadly, that does not a fun game make.
I found myself playing 180 hours of Skyrim with Requiem installed, and in my latest New Vegas playthroughs I couldn't get past 90 hours. I know everything there is left to do from memory.
>>122795215
New Vegas had the best branching dialogue options out of all of the "Bethesda" games I've played, including the Elder Scrolls ones.Yes, I know it was made by Obsidian. They used the Bethesda Fallout 3 assets as a base though.
>>122788475
How DARE a generic fantasy series feel like generic fantasy.Those guys may as well remove all races except Humans, Imperials, and Bretons. Remove magic from the lore nad replace it with chemicals and mutation from radiation. Also swords are now replaced with Pipe Pistols.

Still retarded. Plants and animals would be destroyed if the climate change so much in a so short period. Just imagine the amazonian forest suddenly having the climate of the sahara desert for 10 years before it reverse to a subtropical one. Magic can't be the answer to everything.

>>122800293
Retroactive changes that induce reality-bending situations is a pretty core element of ES lore. If we only discussed things Bethesda had planned all along since Arena, things would be a lot less interesting.
The ES series thrives on letting fans do the work. For some it's "mods", for others it's "open source" lore.

I don't like any of these games though, I only have nostalgia for Oblivion NPC conversations and the OST of that game and Morrowind.

>10 years
It's more like two and a half centuries. I don't think "magic" is the right word to describe it. Nobody ever seems to notice any actual changes in climate. For most people and things, "reality" is a constant, how things actually are, so if and when it changes, they might simply change with it.
>>122801787
>Retroactive changes that induce reality-bending situations is a pretty core element of ES lore.
I know that, but the key issue is not the alteration itself, but rather why it was changed and how said change was used within the games. For exemple, the reason why Zenimax choose to maintain Oblivion temperate jungle was both because it didn't want to potentially alienate Oblivion fans, as well as that they could partially reuse the previously established enemy list of Oblivion.

I'm not saying it's not an issue, just that it's the same issue with every ES game. Bethesda are lazy shits, and we really shouldn't accept the quality of their games, but the insane lore that comes out it has made things a lot more interesting, and one of the few things they do right is letting fans evolve the lore instead of taking complete control and saying "this is exactly how things happened, and every other theory is wrong".

Make the face a little less "perfect". Maybe make the brow and chin a little less angular. Try to make her look less angry. The skin texture is also part of it--it has no blemishes or any real change in skin tone or anything. Also, that scar looks out of place and discolored. I'd also personally lower the cheekbones, but that's just me.
>>122805516
I doubt it very much. I'm still not sure it was possible for Bethesda to add some feature showed in the gamejam video if they had taken more time to work on Skyrim. Remember the seasonal foliage? I wonder if it was even something real. If it was'nt a lie, I would love to see that in the next TES game, but again I doubt that Beth do that.

>>122806834
Bear in mind also that the gamejam video was them given free reign to make dumb shit without having to worry about optimization or balance or actual gameplay implementation. Stuff like seasons was probably never implemented because console RAM, whereas spears were probably more a matter of them not being able to conveniently fit the skill set within the purview of another category, since spear combat is inherently very different from two-handed swords or axes or whatever.
Skyrim got fucked by consoles and by the release date. It's obvious when you look at stuff like all the cut content regarding the Civil War.
>>122808521
So we're doomed because pc games are mostly made to fit to the console.

Virtually every single game made since 2005 was built for 512MB of RAM. Now they're being built for 6-8GB.
RAM and storage space have always been Bethesda's biggest limiters. FO4 was their testbed for what the new consoles are capable of, as well as to try out some new engine stuff. TES6 will benefit very much from it.
>>122809608
Just need to look elsewhere and stop sipping all that which exits from Todd's throbbingpenis.
Wasteland 2 and Divinity Original Sin were good alternative in the TB top-down genre. We just need a decent team that can put up a game worth of Morrowind or Daggerfall.
>>122809847
But games for the 8th generation of consoles are already parsecs behind their PC counterparts. By the time TES6 comes out game development will have been dragged down by them once again.
You're thinking of 8GB of RAM (5 actually, that's the weakest link of the XBONE) now, but you need to do that with the mind of 3 years in the future.
>>122809847
>>122810165
So there is still hope. That said, the fact that Bethesda seems to have learned nothing from Obidian for Fallout makes me worried about how less of a rpg TES VI will become, Skyrim being hardly one to begin.
>>122810470
Yeah, about that. You'd be surprised how many people there are who actually like FO3 better than FONV. Since Bethesda feeds the masses it's only natural they ignored most of the good things Obsidian did.
>>122810165
>By the time TES6 comes out game development will have been dragged down by them once again.
Bethesda's games don't really follow the curve of "popular trends", though. They've always focused on shit nobody else does while also being vastly behind on the stuff that other people do focus on. Other games will for sure suffer, but I don't think Bethesda games will be particularly worse for it.
>but you need to do that with the mind of 3 years in the future.
I am, though. Developers will do nothing but get better at how they use those 5GBis it really only that much jesus fucking shit microsoft, and while that also means that graphics will hit a plateau very soon that's never been a major issue with Bethesda games anyway since they always look like shit.
this might be a common question, but what the hell happened to seasons of skyrim?
>>122810728
You're missing the fact that hardware limitations impose limits not only on the pretty side of graphics, like textures, but also on the amount of graphics they can cram into a single place. That's how you go from Balmora to Solitude, passing by Anvil. They have to shrink everything, or section things off like with the Imperial City.
As for the 5GB, there's always the possibility Microsoft will patch the OS to allow games to use more memory, but at the moment that's the limitation.
