    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    Yeah, all I remember from Eternal is all the bright colors denoting Loot Piles or whatever. Not trying to play DOOM to collect a bunch of neon rainbow skittles here.

    That's cool, so EQ2 fleshed out some of EQ1's missing world-space? That's pretty much exactly how EQ2 should have been used, TBH.

    DOOM: The Dark Ages

    As a big Doom guy, this is going to have some stiff competition for my time, with Oblivion, Clair Obscur, ER Nightreign, and EQ OOW all on my list for the last week of May through June. The only real time I could even fit this in would probably be the next week and a half where it's only...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    That sounds like it was probably intended to be Rujarkian Hills or Deathfist, yeah. Wonder why it was scrapped? As a kid, the entire desert area was mysterious to me and I felt like there were a lot of hidden secrets there, especially in Oasis. I also liked the gold orcs and assumed they'd have...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    There's got to be a sensible middle ground between unisex Mao's Cultural Revolution Uniforms that completely eliminate sexuality, and stupid-looking out of place bikini armor straight out of your favorite anime RPG. Rather than swinging from one extreme to the other, game designers should seek a...

    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    Been wondering what the deal is with Clan Deathfist as a zone, and whether it was a classic zone that was scrapped during development. That zoneline in the NW corner of Oasis sure looks like it was intended to go to Rujarkian Hills (a hypothetical classic version) or Clan Deathfist, with the Orc...

    Omens is a great time with the Epic 2.0s. Brings back the "work on epics with your guild" excitement of Kunark, only now with significantly more interesting and involved quests. Good time to mention that with Omens about to drop and more raid splits to fill out, Faceless is particularly looking...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I mean, companies do this all the time. FF7 Rebirth is like 120 GB and comes with a Data Disc and Play Disc. The disc has however much of the game to run it, and you patch/download the rest of it during the installation. And yeah, even if something was too big to physically distribute, you...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    That's really sad to hear. I know ES4 does the "body types" thing but I didn't know they censored a bunch of stuff in the game itself. Companies need to start learning to tread lightly when they're remaking a beloved IP, hopefully they will at some point. After ten years of waiting (I got into...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Went looking for an Oblivion Remastered to buy, hoping there was a nice box set available. .........There's no physical edition at all? I should have expected that, at this point. Remember when Elder Scrolls games had box sets with lorebooks and maps and whatnot, even in console editions? We...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Pretty much beat Morrowind, or at least broke the game in half. Game is so insanely easy to get overpowered in that it's kind of ridiculous. Turns out if you taunt NPCs a few times and then bribe them to reset the chance of taunt working, over and over, eventually they'll snap and attack you...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    It's a game called Arena with no arenas in it. Yeah, Elder Scrolls: Tamriel would have made a lot more sense. I played through all of that game in the past, and while it does have the entire continent, it's much much smaller in scope than Daggerfall. Each province has like 10 areas of note and...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Yeah, the weapon durability is what warded me off of BOTW fairly quickly. With Skyward Sword it was the motion controlled flight sequences (horrible) which were mandatory and would clearly be a big recurring part of the game. Echoes of Hyrule, it was Zelda's inability to just swing a sword...

    The Last of Us

    Yeah, just watched Ep 4 and it was pretty goddamn stupid. Also noticed the subtle positive references to CHAZ (Seattle Capitol Hill), and the stuff about taking people's voting rights away was annoying. No serious country on Earth lets non-citizens vote in their elections, full stop, but our...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Wonder why they kept the name "Arena" for the first Elder Scrolls, because as far as I can see, there are no actual arenas in the entirety of that game. Originally it was supposed to be a multiplayer deathmatch type PC game with medieval weapons, mostly set in an arena(s). I think there was...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Modding a game so that your heterosexual character doesn't get hit on by random men throughout the entire game seems like a no-brainer mod for a large majority of the playerbase. I'm sure Nexus is on the case furiously banning it. It's too late for Assassin's Creed Shadows, where the...

    Ancient Civilizations

    What will be dust, the pyramids? And survive what? It's crossed my mind a lot that the only way our civilization gets remembered 12,000 years into the future is if someone bothers to preserve it. And quite frankly, if the northern hemisphere got wiped out (in a massive war or something) I have...

    We're back around to my original assertion that necromancers are going to be where it's at on this server. Sounds like rogues will be having a moment too, though.

    I don't think anybody is complaining about Isabela Merced's looks. One of the most gorgeous Latina actresses around today, along with Melissa Barrera (who might be more or less gone, she seems to be persona non grata in Hollywood now because she said we support Israel too much or something)...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    That's pretty much what I was saying, that Morrowind isn't intended to be plowed through and that it's great/different for that reason. If Skyrim and Oblivion are like that too, then awesome. It really does feel like one could play Morrowind for a hundred hours without beating the game, and that...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Tribunal might be useful then if the assassins get too obnoxious. As it is I'm just murdering them and selling their loot and that's most of my income. Also a big upgrade to my armor rating, at the cost of looking like Psycho Mantis.

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Level 7 in Morrowind, not sure if I've even really progressed the main story quest at all and I'm probably leveling wrong and everything. It's a great time regardless. I should probably join some guilds and do their quests, maybe see if I can get into the two expansions early (they both seem...

    The Last of Us

    I think it's kind of interesting the way there was absolutely zero hoopla online about how the game's one Jewish character got recast as an entirely different race. In this era of left-wing Jew-bashing being acceptable to a lot of the crowd that Druckman associates with, it isn't surprising, but...

    So this is the server for people who really like Luclin? Luclin, the only expansion with raids that I find it tough to stay awake through? I still think people will be surprised at what's doable at 50. However, that requires a group of people who actually want to push the envelope do the...

    Level 6 in Morrowind, getting buff now, reading lots of books (game has some insane amounts of lore in random books about every little thing). My only complaint is that there seems to be absolutely no grass on the ground anywhere, it's all just dirt and mud and rock. Guessing it was a hardware...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    The lack of a manual doesn't help, but I can look things up online. Been trying to play it blind, which this probably isn't the best game for. Main thing I was pointing out is that when it tells you all the commands at the very beginning, it doesn't mention anything about there being a run...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    What's hilarious is that Morrowind defaults you to Walk, and I don't think the game ever told me there was a Run button. So I was creeping around for the first several hours at slow speed, and figured it was normal since people complain about the game's slow movement speed sp often. Eventually...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    I did it, ten years after I beat Arena and Daggerfall, I finally started Morrowind. Made my own class, as you're supposed to do with these old ESes. Oblivion and Skyrim still have classes or am I remembering right that they did away with all that to just have one omni-class that develops based...

    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    Got a noob-ass question, as someone with very little PC gaming experience: How do the Morrowind expansions work? Tribunal and Bloodmoon were on separate disks from the main game. I installed all 3 of them separately, and need the disc for the main game to be in the system while playing. When...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Finished the main game, did about 25% of the DLC, shelving the game again for now. Next go-around I'll try to beat the DLC. Before I stopped, I made sure to get all the potion charges and Sacred Tears. 9/5 on Scadutree levels, so pretty well set-up for the next go. I'm probably going to try...

    The Last of Us

    Just realized that TLOU2/season 2 sort of follows the structure of LOTR. A powerful fellowship is going to be formed to go on an expedition, but it doesn't work out and instead of a fellowship, two of them end up having to make the rest of the journey without help, through all sorts of...

    The Last of Us

    Yeah, I'm guessing the show is going to slow way down from here on out and have a bunch of unnecessary side-stories that weren't in the game, since they have to pad the remaining 75% of the game out over 3 seasons lol. There's nothing likeable or believable about Ellie and it's hard to believe...
