Every time I read the word chim I think of that song from Merry Poppins.

CHIM is simultaneously the most brilliant and most absolutely retarded thing in any game universe ever.

Being upset over a mmo is a really cool thing to do, congrsts on being a really cool person.

I don't think anyone is upset about ESO, rather they are laughing at how bad the beta was and eagerly anticipating the game flopping as spectacularly as FF14 and The Old Republic both did.

people making MMOs out of anything

it's like it's the early 2000s all over again

nah, the new trend is people making mobas out of anything. poo poo like eso is becoming less and less common as people move on to the new hot thing to try and make money off of.

man i really want to replay oblivion because of this thread. are there any releases on steam that have all of the DLC or was that stuff all garbage?

play skyrim or morrowind or daggerfall instead, oblivion is a bad game. a really, really bad game. just completely, irredeemably awful.

this, but let's be realistic. In retrospect oblivion and morrowind is now wose.

Few years ago I said one day morrowind would be too arcane to be playable, and it's getting there for sure.

also their spell and enchantment system is poo poo garbage and needs heavily revamped

anyone who thinks morrowind's combat is too arcane needs to play as a mage

yeah that sure sounds fun

it's actually a pretty cool and really impressive game for the time. daggerfall was a hell of a game in its day, but i can't imagine anyone going into it for the first time now and liking it much.

What is CHIM?

it basically means that anything you mod into the game is canon because you are a god who has figured out how to do god things. it's a novel way of doing things i guess. it made sense in morrowind since you actually were a god in that game, less so in oblivion where you were just some dude and skyrim where you were a reborn hero but not really a god at all.

I'm just going to assume you were in fact bullshitting an intentionally shuffled the heroes and games up.

how so? you were the reborn nerevar in morrowind, who was a god. in oblivion you were just some random dude who helped the emperor, who was the actual hero of the story and you were just his sidekick. then in skyrim you were the dragonborn, who wasn't a god either.

no i just completed it and it is absolutely astonishing how many throw-away fetch quests there are, while the main quest and guild quests are short as gently caress. virtually every NPC has their own fetch quest.

skyrim's quests are pretty trash, but at least the world is relatively fun to explore. unlike oblivion, which has the most boring, generic game world i have ever seen in a wrpg. exploration takes precedence over quests to me anyway, so i still had fun with skyrim. not nearly as much fun as morrowind, but hey, at least it wasn't oblivion!

morrowind wasn't, then bethesda fired everyone who had any kind of creative spark or something, i don't know what the gently caress happened between morrowind and oblivion but dear lord

translation: we reused the map from oblivion

nah, they're missing like a third of that game's map

actually i guess they're not missing much at all since there was nothing in oblivion that was remotely interesting. guess they just want to keep in the spirit of the original.

All of that fog! Yay! It's like I'm playing Morrowind on the original Xbox all over again! They must be banking on nostalgia to sell subscriptions, that's gotta be it!
