    Skyrim is worse than Oblivion in every way

    The dunmers playing the bongo drums compensate for that.

    This almost deserves its own thread:

    The Wolf Among Us - Fables Telltale adventure game

    Why does everyone who enjoyed this feel the need to immediately point out that it's not a game?

    Elder Scrolls So why is Elder Scrolls lore so interesting?

    Yeah, I've confused the terms. I meant onomastics, the study of names. A lot of dunmer names from Morrowind had a sort of south italian sound to them: Serano, Redoran, Bandas, Saryoni, Barelo, Andrano, Telvanni (and all the ones that end with "-ni"). But looking back that doesn't actually seem...

    Elder Scrolls So why is Elder Scrolls lore so interesting?

    I'd also argue that in the case of the dunmer culture, the sources of inspiration are so varied that it creates a sort of inspirational ambiguity. I'm going to pick a terrible example here, but the orcs from Warcraft 3 are carbon copy of African tribesmen, and that's about it, that's all the...

    Elder Scrolls So why is Elder Scrolls lore so interesting?

    I'm always left bereft of words when trying to explain to someone why I find TES lore so appealing. It's hard to weigh or judge the qualities that make this fantasy world stand out so much so I’m making this thread to compile a list of arguments. Different interpretations There’s never just...

    Rome Total War II

    Oh be quiet, that was actually pretty good.

    Neil Gaiman's first video game

    I don't know if I'm excited or not, but hell! A spooky dinner with mr. Neil himself? Where do I sign?

    Decline Thiaf Pre-Release Thread

    The Dark Project centered around the Pagan faction and their dark god. The Metal Age took on the Hammerite faction by setting us against the intrigues of one of their heretical confession. Deadly Shadows showed us the inner workings of the Keeper faction and explored the politics, laws and...

    Anime Gothic 3: The circle is now complete

    People actually did the quests in this game? I thought the best pleasure one could ascertain was mowing down orcs and liberating cities by exploiting that broken combat mechanics. I'm not being sarcastic.

    Holy shit! Where's the original photo from?

    Morrowind mods are a fucking jungle

    The atmosphere is... well not better, but stronger I'd say. It feels spooky to wander around. The few settlements actually feel isolated in the middle of nowhere. Of course there were cities in Vvardenfell that were placed in the middle of nowhere (Dagon Fell, Mar Gaan, most of the Telvanni...

    Decline The Walking Dead (SPOILERS)

    On the bright (the only bright side), the game has managed to make me appreciate american folk. Something I'd never thought I would say. It's very easy and tempting to put him down like that, but the thing is that if a real zombie apocalypse came about, I'd be a lot like him. A lot of...
