    Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

    heres a terrible video by a moron on the matter: It is an interesting question. and there are SOME options. mods, indie, aa/aaa? enderal is a gothic-like in skyrim engine, as he actually notes. and really many of the contenders could be called that. tainted grail is the next big option.but...

    its partial. "treasury floor"/room. so, first you need to unlock the floor. by killling level 35, Nicholaus the fallen. mid act 1 boss. so decently early. so then build a treasury room. place chests inside it. from there, any materials in those chests will be directly pulled from, for base...

    V Rising

    Yeah. I started another run. I actually had to stop due to crashes/freezes from an unknown source. Game just locks up every 20 min or so. so only have made it barely into act 2. what I noticed. lots of minor improvements here and there, and reworks. its hard to justify a full new playthrough...

    No Rest For The Wicked - A Souls Like ARPG

    I think he misread my older post on the matter. maybe read the accusation/headlines, and not the followup.

    morrowind and oblivion had the ability to pick classes. which were just preselected major/minor skills. or, create your own. skyrim did get rid of that. no major/minor. and 100% create your own.

    Much of that is stupid and pointless though. less diseases. its not like oblivion, etc was really doing anything with each. it was all just "cure disease". if we did have to ID type of disease by symptoms. maybe. if we had to match cures to disease type. maybe. Maybe if the MEANS of you...

    I'm also still not seeing the "skrym is dumbed down" argument. as far as i can tell, Skyrim really is just a near universal improvement on all fronts. pretty sure "repeatative caves" as an accusation at skyrim, but they are even more so here. theres way less discoveries and storytelling in the...

    A couple more notes. Light spells not working. dunno if this is vid card related. but, I found often light spells don't work in first and over the shoulder 3rd person. but, scrolling out to the furthest back 3rd person position, pops it into effect. at which point, now I can swap back into...

    yeah, giving it a shot. I had to do it twice for some reason. [/Script/Engine.RendererSettings] <-- this vanished the first time. like, pasted it all in, under the other settings. loaded up. no visual change. closed the game. opened up the .ini again, and that line was gone. had to...

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

    The Jrpg thing is weird. First, the two biggest names. got lost. Dragonquest. 10 was an mmo. 9 was on the DS. 11 sucked. and that was back in 2017 8 was the last proper dragonquest, back in 2004. A million spinoffs. some were ok/good. Dragonquest builders 1/2 are pretty great. but again...

    A few tips. not sure which or if any of these are new to the remaster, or were in the original. Merchant gold doesn't seem to be doing much of anything in the remaster. only seems relevent if you try selling too much in one instance. meaning, if you try selling 100 potions for 1000 gold, and...

    Its over. I had been asking "where's Rory?" since poe2 release. it was odd he was not doing any interviews, talks, or anything. if you go back and watch any of the old game system discussions, it was Rory. I am pretty sure he was the main driving force behind Poe1's best systems. Poe2 is a...

    I found a way that doesn't seem to match what you're describing. use W to push up. don't use the mouse to move it up. HOLD W. so that it pushes the tumbler up constantly. this makes it so the tumbler never drops more then a milimeter. this then also makes the window for when its good to be...

    its interesting how much these games are sold almost entirely on the game world. so many of the other systems are pretty bad. and "Fix them with mods". atm, my thoughts on Oblivion are solidly, Skyrim is better. much of that is the small qol buffs. marking when something is cleared. I...

    Oblivions leveling scaling is not just one thing. Leveling scaling alone. pros/cons. some say they prefer it not at all. Skyrim, of course "fixed" it by gating scaling. wolves 1-10. bandits 1-20, etc. but dragonpriests/generals keep up with you. if it was JUST level scaling, it would be...

    I installed morrowind cuase I was waiting on the vid card, and just spent like 2 hours playing. it is surprisingly playable as is. Just some minor control issues. I think oblivion actually looked worse. lighting,etc was in a bad period..

    Rogue has a few. Shift innately is awesome for movement. smoke bomb can be built to have movement. Lethal Mirage is flickerstrike. (with a CD) sych strike has movement built in. dancing strikes has movement built int.

    There's actually a bunch of things. the body type A/B. They also changed male/female stats to "origins". so, instead of men getting +str/end, now, "east coast" gets it. I see people saying, this is also bugged. as the game still treats it as male/female. like, origin a was male, origin be...

    oh, yeah. it is pretty fun. the a.i. companions are terrific. npcs buying items, etc. all great. I really wish it didn't have this mmo skin, quest and UI design though. same exact game, just without the "mmo" design.. seriously. even giving items to the party, them asking for loot etc...

    This sounds like such a terrible idea to me. there is a demo. maybe Ill take a look to see what possibly could be interesting about this. The only part of it that I think does seem interesting is the idea of A.i. allies. like, say playing skyrim. the idea of random friendly adventures...

    Im not sure any mass effect would make my top 10 really, as much as like 1 and some of 2. Although I think me1 might edge above dragonage origins. Wrath of the righteous would be #1 or 2 for me. Wizardry 8 needs to be in there. Ultima 7 and underworld. ultima 4 Neverwinter nights is on there...

    yeah, I was in the middle of typing a followup. everytings either overpriced or out of stock. sucks. I think 4070ti or 5070ish is where I'd aim atm. similar to the 7900xtx, but should be cheaper.. I definitely cant afford 1k. ideally aim closer to 700. any word on the 5070's? brand new...
