A guy on Facebook just said that rpgs should always have color-coded randomly generated loot, otherwise they aren't replayable. You hear that, Baldur's Gate? Up your game!

Disco Elysium is one of the best modern RPGs, and when it spawns a genre of no-combat rpg copycats it would be glorious. Who cares that the makers are communists.

RPGcodex somehow loves Dark Souls 2 despite it being total crap in every possible way, plus the main team gave to do this cash grab for the B-team because they were busy making Bloodborne

Oblivion wouldn't be the best anything even in category where it would be the sole contender.

Oblivion is the best example of why level scaling and sponge enemies are bad.

Seriously. Enemies with 500+ hp in a game where your fully mastered martial axe can deal damage around 20s not considering armor is so awful...

Oblivions level scaling is fine when you play the game on normal and use the level up system in a normal way (main stats as mostly used stats and sleep when level up available). So if you play like a normie. On harder difficulties the sponge just blooms and it becomes a cheese fest, and when you do anything creative with the level system it breaks six ways to sunday.

This made me think of another one: Oblivion has aged significantly better than Morrowind and is now the best Elder Scrolls game.

Blivion was bullshit with health inflation but the quests and general setting made up for it

By default it was on hard mode

This incentivised you to play like a sneaker which is the best part of the game quest and faction wise

It's also my first elden ring game

Yea morrowing is great and all but it has shit tier flow in the beginning and the quests arent as good imo, it didnt satisfy me as a sneaker, sure it has better dungeons and better loot and itemization and balance in terms of leveling, if you're an ice age boomer it was probably the best game youd ever played

But overall New Vegas is the best rpg of all time

Because books arent games

And min max simulators arent games

Games are games
