Best thread ever.

Lumpy, you realize of course that you're defending the enemy in the eyes of the Gothic forum community, right? I'm sure it'd be the same way if you talked shit about Oblivion while fawning all over the Gothic 3 screenshots at the ESF. Don't expect to actually be able to win over anyone. :D

-D4

No, it wouldn't be the same. From the time I've spent there, I've seen that that's a very immature forum, with idiotic, abusive moderators, and few intelligent posters.

LOL! I always lose respect for anyone speaking as an authority that cannot be bothered to type Y-O-U. In fact, I've come up with a mental image of some slack-jawed retard typing with only his index fingers every time I see that, and whatever argument the offender is trying to put forth is totally invalidated.

You know what they say about impressions being everything...

Felt like contributing

In a CRPG, you are going to need combat skills. Prancing through quests specializing in talk, chemistry and mercantile just won't make you a hero in a fantasy RPG world. It's just a reality of CRPG. I don't see how you could design a set of quests that could be equally well solved by talk or by blade.

Lumpy, you're a big meany.

 

[Elwro]

Yeah, you're just too h4rdc0r3 for them. And the mods seem to use RAI, too - rules for RAndom Intervention.

Do you need to read a manual an hour or two to know what the differance between axes and blunted weapon is? Maybe you don't know what a spear is, or what the differance between pauldrons and cuirass is? Maybe you also need to read alot to learn the differance between left gauntlets and right gauntlets, while thinking "Good lord i don't have to read such long manuals to equip a robe over my armour"...

I like this guy. I still fondly remember the manual that came with SimEarth. :D

i like RPG's as much as any of you but i understand that my friends dont like how deep they must get just to play them, thats why i respect bethesda's decision to take TES into the mainstream

Most of my friends are 'mainstream' gamers that go in for the shooters, sports, and racing games and that's fine with me- more power to them. They in turn realize I'm a 'nerdy' gamer that prefers RPGs and strategy games. In no way do I think an RPG or any game should be dumed down so that my friends can enjoy it. They stick to their's, I stick to mine. Live and let live, etc.

I thought that one was "Oblivion target audience"? :D

I don't think so, in that case he would have been some kind of mighty sorcerer or stealthy arsearsein, but he chose the howling kid and his pose is excellent

He's too old anyway.

"If an RPG is defined by limitless moral choices, then unfortunately no RPG out there will be good enough to be considered an RPG."

RPG to some people are stigmatized to be more like pen and paper RPG. Where I get the poison mushroom and sell it, eat it, make a potion out of it, or toss (which you could probably do in Oblivion). This sort of RPG snobbery is pathetic akin to a fourty year old man going through a mid-life crisis who buys a sports car to feel cool again. GET A LIFE! If not a life, spend your precious time playing your Heaven Sent RPG you supposed cannot stop playing, instead of complaining and moaning on a forum like some insecure, low-self esteem, nerdy (not geeky, geeks are way better than that) lamer."

can spmeone tear this childs post apart?

 

[kingcomrade]

not geeky, geeks are way better than that

"Turn-Based combat on Oblivion?"

"While I realize for many turn based combat may be undesirable for some it is enjoyable especially in an rpg.

I have little familiarity with mods and modding though recently I felt I had put enough time into MW to start using some mods and it is easy enough.

It seems that this is something improbable to mod in but that's why I'm asking. Thoughts?"

And the first comment in the thread:

"NEVER, turn based combat is evil.... and I hat it with a burning passion if a thousand suns"

NOTE: Spelling kept intact.

Thread itself gets better and better. I think it's almost on par with the "Make mods work on 360 or ELSE" thread.

 

[Lumpy]

ESF Retard

Retard? Why? Because he asked for a turn based combat mod? It's not impossible.

 

[Blahblah Talks]

Thread itself gets better and better.

The man does not lie.

turned based combat is bad, because in RL if someone punches you, it is a mistake to stand still and wait for your turn to take a swing

Now who can argue with that logic?

 

[aweigh]

Lumpy/Tintin could! It's his specialty: apologizing for Bethesda.

 

[User was nabbed fit]

Standing at the edge of the TES Forums' gene pool, barrel of clorox in hand. Should I pour slowly, or quickly?

 

[MINIGUNWIELDER]

Mix Clorox with ammonia, vineger, baking soda(to spread the fumes) and finallly arsenic.
(the ammonia should be mixed with the vinegar and the arsenic should be mixed into the baking soda, as to prevent premature activation. pour into barrel)
Throw the barrel in and run like hell!

I was that dude who made the ammonia bombs

 

[Thrawn05]

Isn't Bleach and Ammonia the poor man's muster gas?

 

[aweigh]

What about good ole ether + rape? Always worked for me.

 

[GoldLeader]

Probably the worst part about oblivion is that ranting about how bad the game is, is actually more fun than the game itself.
