Ah, God, that thread just KEEPS GETTING WORSE.
Admiral jimbob said:r00fles, they deleted half the thread.
Admiral jimbob said:Very little that would be worthy of deletion. What might have been the beginning of -another- Gothic v Oblivion flamewar, a few sarcastic comments and a few perfectly legitimate posts about the game that were deleted because Summer forgot to take her medicine again.
Callaxes said:An ComputerRPG must follow 4 very important rules:
1. Provide the ability to customize you're character both physicaly and psyhologicaly throught the use of statistics
2. The impact of statistics (here we introduce a scale between 1 (you're flying the plane on auto-pilot) and 5 (you're flying the plane all by yourself, during a turbulance while the co-pilot is throwing cookies at you))
3. The chooice of action (scale between 1 (you can doom the whole of Nirn by giving Martin and the amulet to Mehrunes Dagon) and 5 (you choose to enter a dungeon through the hidden backdoor instead of the obvious front entrance))
4. The impact of chooice (scale between 1 (your killing of the count of Skingrad has provoked a civil war in the city) and 5 (your killing of the count of Skingrad has got you a bounty of 1000 septims, the town still thrives))
The more 1's the game scores, the closer it comes to being an CRPG. The more 4's and 5's it scores, the closer it comes to being an Action game.
NOTE: Do not mistake Action games for hack'n slashers. Action games use action game mechanics, like no dice rolls, reflex based combat and player skill interaction, i.e. Prince of Persia. Hack'n slashers or ActionRPGs or Rogue-likes are games that focus mostly on fighting, but still contain RPG elements like stat-based combat and heavy character skill interaction, i.e. Diablo, Dungeon Siege
Morrowind
- Dice rolls
- Large amount of chooices and solution
- Complex character creation
- Heavy stat focus on non-combat interaction
- Offers more challenges other then combat (exploration)
- Lack of strong dialog
- Lack of conscequence upon actions
- FP-TP perspective
- Real-time with lite-reflex based combat
- Linear storyline
- Exploitable character creation for powergaming uses (i.e. 5x multipliers)
- Weak narative (with the exception on the game's lore)
Conclusion: ActionRPG-Exploration game hybrid with great oportunities for LARPing
Oblivion
I realy can't think of anything except for the decent amount of skills
- Lack of strong dialog or NPC interaction
- Severe lack of conscequences
- FP-TP perspective
- Real-time combat with great emphasis on player skill and reflex
- Lack of dice-rolls
- Linear storyline
- Only 6-8 quests out of 200 have a chooice here'n there, although not all have seperate endings (lifting the vail)
- [censored] minigames
- Primary interaction is combat and stealth
- Unballanced level-scaling that ruins the porpouse of statistics
- Character Creation suportable for only 3 archtypes that can be exploited to the bone
- Weak narative
Conclusion: Action game with statistics and great oportunities for LARPing
