One of the shittiest things about Skyrim

[SimTrY]

because one is lazy and uninspired, and the other is tangible and part of the world your inhabiting. if you can't spare 30 seconds theen you probably shouldn't be palying any videogames. you clearly have more important things to do than spend 30 seconds using the fast travel options in game.

might as well say that i shouldnt be playing video games if i dont have time for unskippable cutscenes

you skip over content of the media you're trying to consume ? or maybe you can play something more strictly gameplay focused like factorio instead.

Talking about how you don't have the patience to walk 15 seconds to a silt strider is an interesting flex. You might as well open the console and COC everywhere if your brain is that fucked by ADHD.

unskippable cutscenes

That's a far worse offender than unending bland landscape.

skip over content of the media you're trying to consume

There's nothing wrong with that mind you. Have you never skipped through some parts of a book that didn't interest you much ?

On a side note, I wish people would stop using the term"consume media". When it's good media it's not something you ingurgite and shit out like nothing happens, it's something that's supposed to enrich you personally and that you fondly remember for years after.

literally no. if you skip over shit you gott filtered. simple as. but i guess thats because i read literature and not fantasyslop.

So do I but when I first read Le Rouge et le Noir I skipped some parts. It didn't "filter me" as I came back to it a few years later and read it whole. You really shouln't care so much about how other people enjoy doing stuff (or assume things about people you don't know anything about, for that matter) but I think you've been told already.

yes, i skip most dialogs and cutscenes. i tried to replay farcry 4 recently and gave up when i realized that the cutscenes are unskippable. games like factorio, or 4x or roguelikes, are indeed what i mostly play these days. i have little time to play video games and i want to spend it fully engaged. if you're a teenager and you have ten hours a day to waste slow-running to the balmora bus station, go ahead.

All this talk about skipping dialogue cant be arsed to walk or view cutscenes makes you sound like zoomer kids.

why do you even play such games if you dont want to play them as they are? when i play a game i wanna see all it has to show me

My first character was an Argonian with very large spikes on his head. The first helmet I got was a skin tight leather skull cap——which fit his head.; no horn/spikes while wearing the flimsy cap.

 

[MWaser]

I skip over 100% of the books by just not reading them in the first place

I think all open world games should require you to connect yourself to a treadmill and actually walk every step in the game, accurate to the inch. You should also have to put on weights equal to the armor you're wearing, and swing a real metal sword that you yourself purchase on your own because game makers aren't going to provide a sword to you.

If you play a magic user you just have to yell lightning bolt or whatever, no big deal.

If you ride a horse then you're going to need like a mechanical bull or something.

Imagine how buff gamers would be if this were a thing. Connect damage you deal to how hard you can punch/swing a sword IRL, and you'd have trained a generation of swole gigachads.

Actually now that I think about it if you want to play a magic user then the level of spells you can cast are allowed only via a certified IQ test.

Nah, that'd be boring. Warrior has to swing a sword and tank real world punches as he fights, while the wizard just shouts bullshit in the background? To cast a spell, a problem (mathematical, logical, or other, depending on the spell school) should appear on his screen and he should shout the solution, the spell circle determining the difficulty. Wanna cast a fireball? Hope you know your integrals and derivatives then.

Nice setup.

NG+ with the loverslabs mods that they're in a hurry to play.

 

[Ancient76]

Every TES game has removed the best parts of it's predecessors to appeal to the masses.

I bet this, in so many words, is practically enshrined at Beth HQ.

Not really.
They did not implement the best parts because of laziness, lack of enthusiasm, etc.
It's easier to make some mediocre shit like Skyrim.

 

[PorkyThePaladin]

One of the shittiest things about shit is that's it's shitty... News at eleven.

 

[Orwenn]

You're right, guys. The worst part of Skyrim is that NPCs have really boring lives when the player isn't looking.

Who the fuck cares about that? Most games have their NPCs glued to the floor. Some don't. "Attention to detail" is all well and good. It is also a shrine pseudo-intellectuals come to pray naked.

>Morrowind
>huge cities
???
What the fuck are you talking about? Vivec is the only somewhat big city in Morrowind and even that's smaller than the Imperial City.

Add to this that Vivec is not even the capital or largest city of Morrowind. IC, on the other hand, is supposed to be capital of the fucking empire, located in the center of the entire continent. There are only around 300 Imperials, guards included, in the entire province. Yes, there are fewer Imperials in all of Cyrodiil than there are inhabitants in Vivec. The total number of NPCs is around 2 500 in Morrowind vs. 1 000 in Oblivon. Yet all "cities" needed loading screen walls.
