Bethesda's writing team, led by Emil Pagliarulo, is working on ESO 6 right now.
owari da.....
>OHNONONONONO
>implying Skyrim or FO4 had it any better
So what? Video games made by non-japs cannot have good stories regardless. Replacing his team wouldn't change anything.
>>724210528Wheres the evil "Glad the bitch is dead she was nagging on my ear the whole time."-option?
>>724210678Number 4 if you head cannon it as sarcastic.
>>724210528>ESO 6
>>724210528This image always amuses meThere's a fuckton of blood on the floor but not a single drop on either of themHow hard would it have been to fix that?
>>724210528NV babbies are mad because the medicine skill isn't a superpower that allows you to cure every disease and save every character through a dialogue option.
>>724210528I've never mentally recovered from the fact that there's a [medicine] dialog option locked behind a medicine skill threshold, which is exactly as meaningless as the other optionswhy?
>>724210850Bethesda is a small indie company, please understand they are trying their best.
>>724210528What about ESOs 2 through 5?
>>724210948Would the option giving you a 50xp bonus make it better?
SAARFIELD
>>724210628>>724210682LOOK AT HER LIPS
>>724210528Is that a med skill check pass or failI legitimately cannot tell
>>724211027[Intelligence] So you're telling me that you're Three Dog, and you fight The Good Fight?
>>724210948Emil heard that players enjoyed the skill checks in New Vegas but didn't understand why.
I'm really looking forward to finding out how much more edge they can remove from the TES setting.
>>724210528they also hired the veilguard writers
>>724210528love this image. every time you look at it you can find more and more stupid things.
curse vishnu
>>724211239
>>724211110i wonder what emil was thinking when he wrote that
>>724211252Writing Jobs really are just pure nepotism
>>724210528>[INTELLIGENCE 10] So you're that nigger on the radioIt's a shame Pete Hines won't be there.
QUICKPRESS HER LIFE ALERT PENDANT
how is this mod, which came out in the week of its release, still the most untouchable?
has anyone heard anything about what is even going on at bethshit?? they have been real quiet since the dlc for this game came and went like a fart in the wind. weren't the supposed to make another one?
>>724211559Who is asking for another DLC tho?
>>724211027...yes.
>>724211559Starfield was such an abysmal failure, and elder scrolls 6 release date so far down the road, they're unironically releasing a fallout 4 ng anniversary edition.
>>724212746it wasn´t that bad... it were the black people everywhere and that nexus cried so much as we modded them out + them not releasing the modtools day 1. sp stupid
>>724210528>"I-it's you, the legendary Sword-singer. In your arm I see the strength that sunk Yokuda... and it scares me.">"Bye now.">"STOP RIGHT THERE, THIEF. Hand over your stolen goods and pay the fee, or you'll see the renowned bladework of the Redguard."
>>724210528>[Medicine] Why did they slaughter a cow here and thrown you into its pool of blood?
>>724210528HEY C'MON! SNAP OUT OF YOUR MASSIVE BLOOD LOSS!
>>724213440>[Veterinary Medicine]
>>724210528Can't wait to look for my Redguard missing father.
>>724213526i used to drive my grandma to medical checkupsi'd tell people i was taking gma to the vet
>>724210528Wow, color me shocked...
>>724210803Literally, nobody cares
>>724213830and nobody batted an eye?
>>724210948Roleplaying. So you can have a dialogue matching your character. If you play a doctor he wouldn't say "are you okay?" He would check her vitals.What's bad here is that all the other options have the same personality but the idea of different dialogues leading to the same outcome isn't a problem.And also you shouldn't need to be a doctor to do that but that depends on the skill level required.
>>724211432Wait I thought Emil had said that and I hated him for that but that's the wrong guy
>>724215095No, Emil instead said that there's no point writing a good compelling story because the average player is going to ignore it.
>>724215468Alright that's not exactly better
>>724214760The point of investing in skills is not just have different flavours of dialogue, but to affect the trajectory of the dialogue in some meaningful way. New Vegas has countless examples of this, from helping the molerat in Sloan to killing Caesar.
>>724210528didn't even finish the story of this slop game but noticed in steam a showcase of halloween mods so im kinda curious if this game did receive much modding if Bethesda themselves are paying someone to put out updates on community mods.
>>724210528>Hey bitch you ok?Is how the bottom one reads and my sides are in orbit
Bethesda is two generations behind on not just the writing layer, but the presentation layer. The way people just stand stone still in conversation, always one on one, no real nuance in their face. The appeal of their games is supposed to be this believable open world and you can't fill that with fortune cookie dialogue and robotic mannequins standing perfectly still.
>>724211553What's the deal with the +1/+2/+3 modifier
>>724210528>led by Emilit's so over
Didn't Emil quit?
>>724210528[Medicine] THAT'S A LOTTA BLOOD!
>>724210669the japanese have never written a good story in any mediumyou are simply distracted by superficial bells and whistles that have impeded your (poor) judgement
>>724210528OH NONONONONO Sarabros... we got too cocky..
>>724210669premium bait, someone will fall for this
>>724210528>You owe me a pizza
>>724216151Yes, you won't invest points just to get these dialogues but once you've invested these points, having flavored dialogues is a cool feature.
>>724210653Skyrim was better. FO4 though. At least it had decent main plots and better gun play.
>>724210528>[Charisma] Ouch, that's GOTTA hurt...>[Perception] Wait a minute... is that... BLOOD?
I think Starfield would have been a lot better if the dimension hopping stuff was more integrated into the main story and wasn't a new game plus mechanicI thought it was cool but not enough to play through the entire game again let alone twenty more times or whatever it is to see all the new content
>>724217686>[Intelligence] Waitaminute...! You need blood to live!
>>724210528>so that just happened...
How many years are you shartytroons going to pretend someone being sad about a friend's death is bad writing?Not that you'd know what having friends is like, let alone losing them.
>>724217550I would invest those to play as a medic, you know, ROLEPLAY, in a ROLEPLAYING-game
Starfield was my GOTY and it was the best Bethesda game since Oblivion.I will never trust the internet on game taste anymore.
>>724217095ok retard keep on jacking off to crap like The Hobbit
>>724210528Who fucking cares. They have always had shit writing and it is gotten even worse once they went all in on leftist propaganda. They are a propaganda outlet now. The point of their stories isn't to take you away to some fantastical world. It is to try to reinforce their ideological dogmas like climate change will is human made or that trans lives are human lives. If you buy anything bethesda related you are just getting propaganda. Fuck todd howard fuck this developer.
>no... no no no no...
>>724217996You have shit taste dude.
>>724210528Why not give her a super stimpak
>>724218993I'm sorry but no. We all have our own destiny, and hers culminates here. I would not rob her of that.
>>724219361>hey friend, do you wanna go in there so I can live>DESTINYYYYStill don't know what they were smoking
>>724217996I just realized your opinion lines up with reddi5. You also have the reddi5 double line break. Are you a bot perchance?
All these years later and anons still don't fucking know what "Reddit Spacing" is.
>>724220397I just forgot the name of it.
>>724210528>5. Sarcastic
>>724217613Some of the obscure audio logs were alright, the same can be said for 76.
>>724211239Molag Bal is no longer the god of rape because all the other Daedric princes finally came together and cancelled him. Now he's the god of grapes.
>Sarah was an annoying bitch >Game wanted you to like her >STRONG INTELLIGENT WOMAN IN LEADERSHIP ROLE WHO DON'T NEED NO MAN >Admits to being a whore >British VA >Your vitals are....no...no...NO NO NO....NONONONONOOOO HAHAHAAHAGood lord. I can't think of one redeeming thing Starfield had. It was such an awful game. I believe I dropped it after 10-15 hours and didn't even get the first "space shout" ability. I didn't even know space powers were in the game. That tells you how much I played and how far I got.
>>724221312Hey, the grapes belong to Sanguine.
>>724221381Sanguine is such a shit, Bal always gets the blame for bad touching meanwhile that drunk fuck as groped more people than anyone else in Nirn.
>>724221749It's all about what happens post coitus, people regret having sex with Molag Bal so he's the designated rapist while Sanguine makes things enjoyable for everyone.
>>724221864Anon, having a quietly accumulating amount of giants toes, which you can't drop, is not in fact, enjoyable.
>>724210528
>>724222629You think when he was reading his lines, whore that he is, Malcolm McDowell was thinking to himself how shit the script was?
such a bland game no one even bothered trying to mod it
>>724222830McDowell was filming 3 other movies that day I doubt he gave it a second thought or even a single one
>>724210528SHE NEEDS SOME MILK
>>724210528This looks familiar
>>724216520a CHANCE at succeeding, isnt even guaranteed based on stats
>>724217730>[Strength] Real men raise other men's children.
>>724216520Speech checks have been turned into a minigame, you can see a persuasion meter with pips on the bottom left of those conversations, you have to fill it up within certain number of dialogue choices and the +X is how many pips you gain, the color is how hard is it to make that individual speech check (like in Fallout 4), no pips on failureIn FO4 you can succeed every speech check at 1 charisma as long as you're willing to savescum for hours, I think they tried to fix that problem here as I remember people that aren't me complaining about it, but instead of just making speech checks tied to your speech stat like every other RPG including FO3, they just decided you'll now have to pass several of those checks within a single speech dialogue option, so savescumming them would take longer
>>724210850There isn't a system in place with the game for them to apply modifications to the textures like that in any way that makes sense, so the question is then>Is it worth spending time adding some way to do that for this scene or specifically jury rigging it in some way to add blood to the bodies?If the answer is yes, the question becomes>What method do we use for this?But then that question also then becomes>If we do this here, would we do this in all similar scenarios across the game?And then one small thing like 'bro why isn't there blood on the bodies' becomes a question of internal consistency and project development time.
>>724210528What would be the [Humor] dialogue option if there was one
>>724222629>Dude you should kill yourself>Uhh.. why? >Because you are being bad!>Oh.. alright!You do not hate Emil enough.
>>724210528I implore everyone to go back and actually replay Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. Bethesda have never done branching quests with meaningful player choices, they're actually extremely linear in this regard. For Bethesda, 'roleplaying' starts and ends with the player's combat skills and equipment. They don't want to make RPGs, and never have, they want dungeon crawlers. The only reason their Fallout games have some choices and consequences is because the original games had them.
>>724210528Bethesda had a writing team this whole time?
>>724226137
>>724210850>A quick study of the body reveals that Sarah is still alive, and merely pretending to be dead.
>>724210528can you kill the nigger?
>>724217929Yes, roleplaying which includes speaking like a medic
>>724222629fallout 3>multiple options>some based on your statsfallout 4>yes>no>sarcasm>maybethey don't even try anymore
