Oblivion is timeless Seriously it's genuinely really loving good and I think that sometimes people don't realize that the reason there are so many memes to be made out of its AI quirks is because of just how technically ambitious it was for its time. I may also be a bit biased though, because I played a shitload of Oblivion and it's the first game (and one of the only games) I ever 100%ed

Oblivion isnt actually fun. It tricks you into thinking via various psychological techniques that it's fun. It's fake fun.

By wrong I mean 'the way the game tells you to play it' and not 'looking up a guide on which major skills you won't use to carefully control the level up process' or 'never sleep again after hitting a certain level' obv

I played vanilla Oblivion from start to finish without any major difficulties by winging it as a 12 year-old who didn't understand poo poo. If I could do it then, minmaxers can do it now. EDIT: so I guess it literally becomes impossible to play if you specifically design your level ups around gimping yourself because it was possible to finish everything the game had to offer by, essentially, picking levelups at random

hawowanlawow posted:it's good and the fact that it breaks the brains of min/maxers is very funny Me playing it as a teen and being confused as to why every enemy took longer and longer to kill the more I played wasn't minmaxing very much at all (it was because I played too much of the thieves guild and dark brotherhood so I leveled up a bunch of noncombat skills) Me playing it later after reading a guide on how to minmax so I left the imperial city with maxed sneak (the tutorial trick with a taped down controller), maxed hand-to-hand (stealing Lex's sword while he slept and then getting into rolling fist fights with him all over the city) those two immortal twin brothers and insanely powerful speed/acrobatics gear to just run past every enemy during every Oblivion gate was incredibly fun and the one playthrough where I actually finished the game and the expansions, but the fact that I had to work around the game's systems to get there is still bad design?

I love Oblivion, but I'm also fairly sure it's directly responsible for why I treat every RPG system as if they'd been designed by a trickster spirit determined to mislead me into picking builds that will eventually fail to keep up with the mid-to-late game difficulty spike. I wish I could just enjoy RPGs without having to compulsively look up whether I'm walking into a game-mechanics trap (I can't, that's why it's compulsive). e: not to mention the way increases in hitpoints per level were determined, that was a wild design choice. I'm so glad Skyrim just lets you pick Health/Stamina/Magicka increases directly, it's one of the best levelling improvements they've added to the series.

Like western RPGs have always seemed pretty lovely about trap builds but imagine playing Fallout 1 and finding out not only should you have not tagged small guns because you actually wanted to get good at small guns but also the rats from the tutorial cave are as strong as the mutants in the final dungeon because they leveled up with you

So many RPGs seem to be built around the assumption that you've already played them before. Oblivion and Skyrim are both great in this regard. Their tutorials may get annoying on replays, but the fact that they allow and even encourage you to try out their different skills and abilities before actually picking your build, make the games vastly more approachable.

If I could do it then, minmaxers can do it now. That's actually the problem, you will do better picking randomly than making a deliberate choice about your characters capabilities. I also don't think this is min-maxing, if I want to be a wizard it should be fairly logical to pick wizard skills and not get punished for it.

Signaling your support for the Chinese government in an Elder Scrolls thread is a weird flex but okay And it absolutely was ambitious. It didn't live up to its ambition regarding things like radiant AI because of hardware limitations, particularly on consoles, but claiming it wasn't technically ambitious flies in the face of basically everything about its critical reception at the time.
