This thread is amazing,nobody is talking about the game,pure incline. It is either banter between haters and disgusting lariantards or talking about other games. It is like General gaming shitposting thread.
Because there's literally nothing to talk about related to the game. If there's some random topic you'd like to pretend to discuss then chances are it already has been covered. If you want to talk about news about the game then you are in bad luck because there aren't any news lol
We should talk about swen's gay lifestyle and debate who is the daddy in his relationship with rusty. Is rusty strikes me more of a bottom than a top,but swen likes to be more aggressive when bantering,so maybe he is also a bottom.
Fanta are you gay?
Nah,but the codex is legit gay site,so i just get on with the flow.

Morrowind is not dnd, it's shitty looking oblivion.

Of course it's not, but it is close enough mechanically that there is no reason a similar game couldn't have been made in the DnD universe during all this time using a similar or even better game engine.

Morrowind has dice rolls when you attack somebody. That's basically the same as DnD.

Pretty much lol. That is the only meaningful technical question, is how to translate dice rolls into an action rpg. Some people are butthurt about how they handled it cause you can miss but I find it just fine.

All other DnD games, for all their positives, fail to deliver the DnD experience because you lack the basic kinds of freedom you need to properly rp.

That's why other places, even 4ch, tend to lock threads until there's something actually worthwhile to post about. And I don't mean the n-th funny meme post by the devs.
The codex is a lot better than 4chan, we don't need to be taking tips from them. Last thing we want is a bunch of internet janitors thinking they know best and trying to control conversations and what we talk about. It's bad enough the mods here show their faces as much as they do.
Swen : "spell slots aren't intuitive"
OwlCat : "Pick this two spellbooks on the vancian magical system. Manage spell memorization, caster level, spell penetration, concentration, etc; for two classes, one leveling with XP and other with milestone leveling which has a separated system with unique feats. And here is a pet unique for your class where you can customize and level up as any character"
It's obvious that there is a difference in company philosophy here. Larian thinks all it's fans are brain dead(they are), need to be babied(they do), and any inconvenience they may have might set them off(they will). Owlcat respects it's players and believes that they will be able to figure things out and overcome adversity. Owlcat believes in me as I believe in them.

I say that BUGthesda games are the fast food equivalent of RPG's but honestly, I had more fun in any bugthesda game that I"ve played than Larian games...
