Game to Discuss?

Westerado: Doubled Barreled is this week's game. Originally a flash game, it fortunately escaped to Steam, which is fortunate, because it has an impressive degree of fidelity, considering the pixelslop aesthetic. In it, you are tasked with avenging your family blah blah blah, except the killer can be any one of the many NPCs who you otherwise interact with, with clues drip fed across it's (admittedly) brief length. Discuss below in the comments, and vote in the linked comment. It also appears that I forgot to post a vote for Call of Duty last week, you can find the vote for that in the pinned comment.

Still playing Oblivion, at this point going through oblivion gates for the main quest is so boring I just use the console to noclip to the end.

Honestly I don't really care that they are remaking it. The game is not significantly different from Skyrim, quest markers, fully voiced, combat has less dice rolls, and fast travel make it a much closer game to skyrim than it is to Morrowind.

And don't get me wrong it is a much better game than Morrowind which is an agonizing ugly slog, but when you play Morrowind you think about how the franchise could have gone, while with Oblivion I just think about how Skyrim is better (mostly just because it had a bigger budget, so the voice acting is less shit and the world has more interesting designs).

I think it would be cool to reimagine morrowind almost as a survival game. So much of Vvardenfell is wild and because there is no fast travel you actually had to plan out your excursions while you were still early level. Instead of abandoning that aspect and go the way of morrowind it would be cool to make that aspect deeper and more interesting. Also in Morrowind there was a lot more asking random npcs for directions. I actually liked this. Because there was no questmarker you had no choice but to actually pay attention to what people/ books said. The issue is when there was no dialog option for an npc that really should know where to give you pointers. I think the solution would be to use AI to autogenerate some dialog. Of course this would probably cause backlash.

Oblivion... is a much better game than Morrowind

@Losercel When we kill this guy together who gets to rip his heart out of his chest and hold it up to his face? We'll have to flip a coin on that.

fast travel

I've had actual fricking cancer and I hate fast travel more. Totally destroys your sense of actually being in a place and the dimensions of it. It's like level scaling. Might seem like a good idea at first glance but it totally destroys the game.

incoherent normie stuff about RPG dialog

I don't know how old you are but I'm going to assume not very old because you don't like Morrowind. So here's a history lesson: In the 1980s your normal way of playing a game was typing stuff in. Probably not because people were smarter and more literate back then (I mean ffs we all remember we were just typing in "kiss girl" trying to sexually harass every woman in 1840s Brooklyn). But we were used to a command line interface. As the years passed everyone gradually realized that this is a really r-slurred way of interacting with a game because basically you're an neurodivergent trying to guess exactly what words the other neurodivergent who made the game was thinking of. So you see this in vestigial forms, if I'm not mistaken as late as Fallout 1, but it's obsolete.

Your idea of using AI to do this is actually really good. It solves the whole problem. If you wrote something that wasn't 100% predicted by the programmer then AI could still understand it. Which would make this kind of gameplay actually work finally.

Spider and Web is still the second best game ever made albeit.

Fast travel wallpapers over bad world design. When you realise that traversing the world is a slog fast travel let's them just turn it off. It's a symptom of shit open worlds.

Traversing the world should be a joy. Darklands, Morrowind, GTA, Saint's Row, this is the basics.

I hate to be a Skyrim soy but Skyrim had fast travel and had phenomenal world design.

Bethesda is probably the exception where the fast travel is just for mass market appeal.

I actually agree with you about the negatives of fast travel. That's why my idea for the remake would not have it. I was pointing out how Oblivion was much closer to Skyrim than Morrowind.

And yes Oblivion is much better than Morrowind basically just because the budget was bigger. Being fully voiced + not ugly + enemies not getting stuck on everything (esp cliff racers) makes Oblivion the much better experience. That said I think that Morrowind is more interesting game to play for people who played Skyrim.

not ugly

You take my wife's name out of your mouth. Morrowind is the one aesthetically pleasing Bethesda game. They actually put some fricking effort into it. One Dutch sperg made Titan Outpost, possibly the most immersive experience I've ever had in a computer game, and he didn't need a fricking budget for that. Just some creativity.

than Morrowind which is an agonizing ugly slog

I think that you played Morrowind wrong.

Look, here's how you start the game. You go north from the starting location, there will be a crossroads and a black woman who asks you to escort her back to the shore, and gives you Boots of Blinding Speed. Frick around getting some cash, get to the nearest Mage Guild, ask them to make you the cheapest possible ring with 100% resist magic for 1 second. Wear the ring, cast the spell, wear boots: voila, you now walk about five times faster.

The rest of the game should be approached in the same fashion. It's not cheating if it's basic mechanics!

black woman

Sweet baby inc strikes again :chudsmug:

JK.

But to address your point I think playing an RPG should be fun without using a guide. And eventually I did find a way to get rid of the slog. Using exponential growth in INT using fortify INT potions.

In Morrowind the Orcs are blacks, the Khajiit are the gypsies. Redguards are just black-skinned, don't have nothing against them, good people most of them, fiercely loyal and honest.

But to address your point I think playing an RPG should be fun without using a guide.

Tbh I don't think that there were many guides when I played Morrowind for the first time. There were random posts on some phpbb forums going, like, omg this is so broken, and then individual experimentation to discover more broken things in the same vein.
