THE GREAT MANBABY SUCCESSOR

If ESO is not a money machine, does that mean that Todd Howard will push for an even more uninspired fantasy world in the next Elder Scrolls installment? ESVI: Hot Elves.

no it means that Zenimax will decide that the ES IP is completely worthless and can all future projects.

barons and two or three other people posting about the xbox in GBS managed to get a new subforum created to contain them, bad mods who had been entrenched for a decade to quit, and all video game discussion banned from GBS in a way that they'd never even remotely consider for LF social justice garbage

Really what mods quit? Sorry if asking this will get the thread gassed.

older scrolls online is the most boring and meaningless game i've played in years

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
i have zero loving sympathy for anyone who shelled out money for this log, every single gameplay preview made it blatantly clear just how boring and pointless it would be but nerds just can't help themselves

does this game have a mechanic where I can marry an npc who will simultaneously stop having sex with me and ban me from playing the game anymore post-wedding

No but you can marry another player and pretty much get the same thing

Maybe All-Points Bulletin?

It released on June 6th, 2010, with a complete shutdown announced on September 16th, 2010. It finally re-opened under a new company in April 2011 as a F2P title.

Some good goon drama in there too.

This is, sadly, more important to me than bettering myself.

Does anyone know the name of the Colonel Sanders imposter responsible for this game, or have a link to the video where he says "Zenimax gave us carte blanche to poo poo all over the lore, so naturally I did, as making GBS threads is what I do."

the star wars old republic mmo did it in 11 months i think that's the fastest a subscription game went to f2p. eso was released in early april so it's still got plenty of time to crater and still set a record.

When do we stop talking about "Elder Scrolls lore" like it means something? Usually when people talk about the lore they just mean Morrowind lore, since it was the only game where the lore was interesting.

A shameful bump. Here, have some more proof this game is a hilarious mess:

Need to kill people on top of walls? Put oil on the bottom because apparently, it goes up and down.

Q: So I'm on top of a keep wall shooting my arrows at random people, when I die from flaming oil. Wondering how in the world this happened I took a look around and noticed right below me someone placed some flaming oil which traveled up the wall and gibbed me for 2600hp.


A: Thanks again for the report about this issue. We've identified the cause, and have a fix prepped to go out with a future patch.
They identified they never did any checks in the code for z levels.
