When you start up a new game you get a quick in-engine cutscene with Master Phenrig before you start the Shantiri Temple. At this point, you can actually use the kick button and see him punted backwards.

Dark Messiah's fun because Satan's your dad and siding with him DOESN'T lead to a horrible betrayal, unless you want to be the one to betray Satan. You can also side with the demon lady instead of Hot Girlfriend and leave her captured by cultists, then find her later as an angry zombie.

God dammit. I was having a good time until NPCs started disappearing. When is this god drat patch coming out? I guess I'll try New Vegas now that I'm playing all these old Bethesda games that I skipped.

New Vegas was actually made by Obsidian, which did Knights of the Old Republic 2 (another game where their publisher screwed them in some manner before it was complete). They're made up of a lot of the old people who made Fallout and Fallout 2, so it's actually sort of the "true" Fallout 3: it takes place in a nearby area and deals with things like the expansion of the New California Republic and the remnants of the Enclave and Brotherhood of Steel out there. Bethesda hosed around and kinda made a theme park version of Fallout with their games, so it's nice to get it back in the hands of the creators. The writing is also loving worlds ahead of Bethesda.

I just did and no go. Apparently it has something to do with the Win10 Anniversary update and current Nvidia drivers. I'm not willing to rollback my drivers to play the game right now so I just moved on to Divinity Original Sin which seems fun. I'd love to play these games, but they don't want me to right now. I'll come back after poo poo is fixed.

Replaying this made me realize that Bleak Falls Barrow is really obviously a press demo that front loads every single dungeon gimmick and puzzle seen in the rest of the game into a single showpiece. Bordering on deceptive. "Look, you need to examine the 3d model of items in your inventory to solve puzzles!" (Never uses feature again in 100+ hours of game time)

It's pretty lame that every Hearthfire house is identical. I thought the one in the Pale would look at least a little different from the one by Falkreath.

Oblivion did the same thing with the prison escape at the beginning. "Look at this physics trap! You can push these logs onto those goblins instead of fighting them!" I've always appreciated that Morrowind has no tutorial dungeon. It just dumps you into a town and is all like "You're free now, do what you want."

I have distinct memories of playing Morrowind as a kid on my giant Xbox staying up all night with my friends. I remember the guy falling out of the sky in front of the starter city, the boots that made you blind, my friend found a sword of white woe under a dresser, some kind of ring that had a paralyze spell. An old man with no shirt and dusty pants that beat the poo poo out of us when we tried to take his stuff. Good times.

See, I liked choosing each of the 3 rooms for each house deliberately and fitting them together with a theme such as the Falkreath house had the big kitchen and the garden and the house up near Solitude got towers to take in the view. The lame thing for me was that there were exactly as many room options to build as there were places to build them, which felt really constraining.

No that's fine, I mean that the rooms themselves are identical, and the exteriors are too.

Skyrim SE keeps crashing on me unmodded and modded after a seemingly set amount of time. Had ctd while not doing anything in the perk menu, when i shot the tutorial bear, and running around during the dragon attack. Its a shame because i like having less mods to sift through.

Picked this up for the first time and I'm enjoying myself. Is there a way to make wizard robes viable? Do I just have to mainline the mages guild quest like you had to do in Oblivion? Is there an easy way to get to winterhold other than walking a billion miles?

Alteration perks increase the strength of flesh spells if you dont wear armor. Walk to Whiterun and hire the carriage to take you to Winterhold.

My desire to walk everywhere on a new Skyrim save lasts about as long as it takes to walk from one major city to another once and then I just throw up my hands and pay for rides.

Orv posted:My desire to walk everywhere on a new Skyrim save lasts about as long as it takes to walk from one major city to another once and then I just throw up my hands and pay for rides. Yeah, the way I play these games is to start in a major city, and then walk in a direction. I do random quests, dungeons, sights, ect. until I am bored and then go off in another random direction. I really like the little stories that they are putting into this worlds cities though. The cult/silver monopoly in markarth and Riften being a den of corruption and theives are pretty cool. It is kind of lame that Whiterun is completely lovely and boring and that's the place the story sends you first.

Error 404 posted:Yes its called playing the main quest I'm already getting fed up with listening to my allies when they tell me I can't go in guns blazing. I massacred a bunch of Thalmor guards and spies at the Embassy, but then I go back to Winterhold and there is a Thalmor agent talking smugly down to me. I side with Ulfric, and then go to Markarth and talk to the Jarl who betrayed Ulfric, and I have to play nice with the Jarl, get framed, stop killing guards, let them arrest me, and refrain from killing a bunch of conspirators, escape, and still not do anything to the Jarl or the nobles who did all of that. I was able to chase down the Forsworn who escaped from prison with me, and luckily they weren't invincible. Sure, the main quest and civil war quest will let me do a lot of that, but it's a lot of hoops to jump through to do what I obviously want to do.

I finished the main quest multiple times in Arena and Morrowind. Just once in Daggerfall (though I kept a save before making The Choice to get to see all endings). Not at all in Oblivion, I stopped soon after getting to the Blades' mountain fortress. Not even started in Skyrim (the old guys on the mountain are still waiting for me), and didn't choose a side in the Civil War either (because really, gently caress 'em both).
