Which Oblivion Dev Lied The Most?

[roshan]

Hey, I'm interested in this whole LODding technique, could you elaborate on how to improve the method used in Oblivion?

Well, LoD stands for "Levels of Detail" and there just aint enough levels in Oblivion.

I'll be the first one to admit that Oblivion looks pretty good when you're standing right next to stuff, well except for people. :shock: The mountains in the far, far, distance also look OK. It does a piss-poor job of blending one into the other.

The first problem you notice is that the ground textures start to repeat obviously when they are more then a few feet away:

Then we have the LoD models:

Those screenshots truly look ike shit... hell, even NWN2 generally looked much better than that.

Hiya. Sorry for bumping up this old thread, but I was wondering if anyone was thinking of re-doing this 'which one lied the most' thread for Fallout 3, Bethsoft being the lovable kind of company that it is. I thought it would be interesting to see if they have matured a bit.

LOL! This thread is awesome. I bookmarked it for more lulzs and comparisons with FO3. The part where Bethcrap locked the thread on their forums just shows they also lie about how they listen to their fans. I am a big fan of Morrowind, and I posted a comparison of Morrowind and Oblivion on their forums, not insulting Oblivion with one word (because the forum automatically changes every Oblivion insult into Oblivion is the best RPG ever made). Anyway, needless to say the thread was locked in 30 minutes. LOL!

But what amazes me the most is fanaticsm of Bethcrap's fanboys. I mean, reading some replies is both funny and annoying, because I can't believe the amount of stupidity in some people. I mean how stupid do you have to be to see repression of the truth happen in front of your eyes many, many times and still stay blissfully ignorant to the degree of not even asking yourself if maybe there is a possibility all those banned people and locked(deleted) threads have a point.

I think larger forums have a big tendency towards locking, banning, deleting,.etc. Just look at Something Awful. They ban people for typing QFT.

 

[inwoker]

to wyrmlord:
What's your point then?




For a second when i saw topic name I thought adhaira is back.

 

[Micmu]

Can you post some porn pics, Wyrmlord? I'm too lazy to surf.
Also, link me some good game torrents.

 

[Wyrmlord]

My point is about Bethforums. I am saying large forums are more rigid.

"For a second when i saw topic name I thought adhaira is back."
Why would you think that?

If you step back for a moment and look at it, you kind of almost have to admire the quality of the dishonesty, you know?

 

[Tricky]

I stepped back two years ago. Kinda fun to watch what happens though, it's like a really bad reality show. Plenty of people will surely stoop to purchasing F3, I'm sure.

No word on whether there'll be another LIES! thread about F3?

 

[Xor]

Oh yeah, now I remember why I wasn't going to buy Fallout 3.

If that's all the post contains and the person doing it does it all the time just to up a post count, I'd ban 'em too. QFT is one of the stupidest replies ever, unless you've got a point to add to the quoted comment.

So now that Fauxllout 3 is out, who out there with more ambition than me is going to get the ball rolling on the Fallout 3 hollow promises, bullshit PR memes, and outright dev lies thread going?

 

[NiM82]

[MrSmileyFaceDude] "I'm sorry, but what part of "without losing our hardcore rpg fans" don't you understand?"

He's not really lying there, their idea of a Hardcore RPG fan is someone who bought horse armour for Oblivion.

 

[Exmit]

Is Oblivion playable now with unofficial patches ?

 

[SCO]

Aren't you tired of being lied to now?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

The funny thing is that they're telling the exact same lies when hyping up Skyrim.

Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.

 

[Bitcher]

Well it worked the last time, so why bother changing anything?
Sheeple don't even realize they're being lied to. It hurts to see their denial or simple ignorance, especially since I come across it almost anywhere I go. Codex seems almost like the last safe haven sometimes.

 

[Exmit]

Aren't you tired of being lied to now?

I want more of that RAI

 

[Alt]

Then rejoice, since Skyrim will have radiant dragons.

 

[Jaesun]

Fucking necro faggot.
