Dunmer
oblivion aged the fucking worst
>>737166060more like dumbmer
>nooooo muh edgy self-insert race how dare you!Grow up.
>>737166208i self inset as the bretons because I am a twink elf mutt irl
I still prefer original Oblivion's faces to the souless remaster ones. At least in the OG some NPCs are cute (Cutter and Methredhel for example)
I've always had an autistic issue with oblivion since forever:The oblivion crisis is supposed to be one of the worst fucking things to ever happen, and there was no dragon break to make it all daijobu or a race of tripping cat people/furries to hold your hand.Yet it has this jubilant, vibrant, quirky, positive vibe all over it, you walk outside in the morning and everything is straight out a fairytale it's so ethereal; and yet 20 minutes down the forest the worst things conceivable(not directly involving a prince)are happening, things that would give /d/ a nofap streak.This has nothing to do with engine limitations, as morrowind and skyrim both have appropriate toneI'm perplexed, and I never got an answer nor an explanation
>>737166060morrowind is like a nosferatu it's great. I think that image is trying to say skyrim one is good too but it looks generic and lame to me.
>>737166336oblivion was undoubtably the worst in the series from how shallow it was when it came to quests and art direction. Nostolgiatards love to defend it and say skyrim is worse when it literally had a gritty atmosphere like morrowind did unlike blivion which had a shitty generic fantasy setting with 1 or 2 of the same voice actors.
>>737166336It's because Oblivion was thier first game made with console with mind so the designed the whole game around introducing new people to the series
they're ugly, but the oblivion characters have an incredible amount of soul in them that morrowind and skyrim can't touch.
>>737166060I enjoyed oblivion as a kidI still enjoy the remaster as an adultJust because a game isnt good doesn't mean its not fun
>>737166814wtf is that image
>>737166060Saint Jiub please deliver us from Cliff Racers...
>>737167004considering his post my money's on it being a very tiny reddit frog
>>737166565neck yourself
>>737166060soulless / SOVL / soulless
>>737166060The shitty troll hair always cracks me, did Todd really think that was cool
>>737166565>but the oblivion characters have an incredible amount of soul in themAlmost all of them are literally the same person, just like in any other bethesda game...
>>737166060Why are they grey instead of yellow?
Just imagine the kino we will get in skyim 2
>>737166060Every race looks the same in Oblivion/Skyrim. Naturally, since they're all part of the same shitty face engine. Prebuilt faces are just better.
>>737166536Fucking infuriatingSo many franchises rode the console carousel and now they're all dead, fucking kikes
>>737166060That 30 year old Dunmer
>>737166336Nearly all of Oblivions issues can be traced back to the founding design principle of “the player can do all this stuff in any order they want”. It’s crippling from a game design and narrative perspective because the quests and combat encounters all must be designed under assumption that player hasn’t done anything else except the previous quests in chain, and narratively no part of game can make reference to any other part since you might not have done it yet.You can go become the leader of every faction and sort out everyone’s personal problems before the Oblivion crisis even starts if you just ignore the main quest.
>>737166060The worst part is that Dunmer lost the heavy smoker voice and now all have posh Bongistani accents
>>737166060Why did the retard who made that leave out the original games?
>>737172206>You can go become the leader of every faction and sort out everyone’s personal problems before the Oblivion crisis even starts if you just ignore the main quest.You can also become head of every major guild and the Imperial Legion and also, for example, House Telvanni who despise the Imperials before you complete Morrowind's main quest and none of it has almost any impact on one another. I don't understand why people ignore this aspect about Morrowind and act like it was something only introduced with Oblivion/Skyrim.
>>737172324Non-Todd TES games are non-canon so who cares what they had?
>>737166208>edgyThe core trait of the race is that they want to be left alone in their volcanic shithole. That's not edgy.
>>737166060Everybody in Oblivion was a bunch of potato heads.
>>737172367Except becoming leader of dark elf factions in Morrowind actually accelerated the plot progression for the main story.
>>737172452Yeah, they don't raid other lands and kidnap locals to be sold as slaves at all!
Imagine being an Imperial or Breton and a Dungmer moves into your neighbourhood, causing house prices to plummet
>>737172367You cant be the head of the Thieves Guild and the Fighters Guild at the same time because they are fighting each other.You cant be the head of a House if you are already the head of another.I think there is some things too if you're the head of the Mages Guild rising up in the Telvanni.You also need to join a house for the main quest.
I try to like Bethesda games, but they look disgusting to me. Everything's so stiff, awkward, and ugly.
>>737172556>You cant be the head of the Thieves Guild and the Fighters Guild at the same time because they are fighting each other.Wrong.>You cant be the head of a House if you are already the head of another.That is true. But Houses that hate the Imperials and their invasion of their land don't care you're high up within the Imperial Legion.>You also need to join a house for the main quest.Wong.
>>737170734I really hope they make Daedric quest for that new tranny God they added to ESO and finally put an end to this series. I’d rather have it dead than in the hands of modern Bethesda and Microsoft.
>>737172652Tranny in ESO?
>>737172803
>>737166240The Breton has two sides:Cuck mage or ser Chad "magic isnt real" of HighrockBoth are 5'6.
>>737166336Oblivion wanted the casual audience that watched Lord of the Rings, and pandered to the whole whimsy and adventure tone of the shire.
>>737166336>Yet it has this jubilant, vibrant, quirky, positive vibe all over it, you walk outside in the morning and everything is straight out a fairytale it's so ethereal; and yet 20 minutes down the forest the worst things conceivable(not directly involving a prince)are happening, things that would give /d/ a nofap streak.It’s called the Yookay
If the next Skyrim game had NPCs that looked like the NPCs in Oblivion Remastered I'll be happy
I realized there’s actually a good reason to be excited for TES VI despite Bethesda not releasing a good game in 15 years - it will be the first big budget fantasy RPG with a base building system. Even if everything else sucks I should get hundreds of hours out of that.
Oblivions art style is lightning in a bottleShivering Isles is the perfect culmination of Oblivions atmosphere, themes and styleand yes I am replaying it right now, and it is a 10/10 atmosphere/art style/vibe
>>737173193Oblivion Remastered basically runs on UE5 on top of the old Creation Engine. Tes 6 will run solely on the Creation Engine so expect something on par with Starfield.>>737173242Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they just cut it out. They tried it in Fallout 4, but it didn't really work out, so they significantly scaled back their efforts on that system in Starfield, even though the game seemed like a natural fit for it.>>737173339Shivering Isles is literally just a shittier Morrowind.
>>737172503They only kidnap animals.
>>737167092fucking christ, censor this shit
>>737166409Oblivion is a lot more like Nosferatu the Vampyre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LF3ZwXEG45M
>>737173242>good reason to be excited for TES VI despite Bethesda not releasing a good game in 15 yearsLast I heard, Todd kinda wants us to forget about their trailer.
>>737173387IncorrectHeres a downscaled 4k picture of what morrowind actually looks like Now compare it to this 1280x720 pic of Oblivion >>737173339
>>737166060Oblivion had some fucked up faces.At this point, I have nostalgia for that.The other art styles are probably better.>>737166336You are right.I think the fairy tale vibe was well done, though.I honestly think both art styles can work, but I am biased in favour of oblivion. If next one is a fairy tale vibe, they need to be careful it doesn't end up too gay.
>>737173536If it wasnt for the Imperial scum and bringing civilisation, I would be chilling in my swamp, eating kwama eggs, and scaming my kin.
Faggot ass penny arcade art in op
Just finished the Hlaalu quests in TR, really cool ending. Telvanni character next?
Dumb Mer
>>737173572>>737173387and here is a random ass screenshot I just took in Mania in Oblivionhttps://imgur.com/a/kZ9AsID
>>737173578>I think the fairy tale vibe was well done, though.I'm not arguing for, or against. It just doesn't sit right with me, and noone has ever talked about it. Morrowind fucking starts with the heartbeat of the bloody anumidium, oblivion begins with a windows-moviemaker slideshow of drone footage. What that other guy said was correct, they wanted the console audience, simple as.
>>737173572Soul
>>737172394They're the only canon games.
>>737173683>bringing civilisationEmpire retards literally destroyed most of the Velothi architecture in Morrowind. Those were towers predating humans in Tamriel.
>>737166336>daijobu
>>737173683Bro the Empire kings live in a elven tower because they can't build anything better. Before that they were dwelling in literal caves like Sarthal. Not to mention how Ayleid cities are still standing while Imperial forts have collapsed. Humans can't build to last.
>>737166336>contrast is badIts much easier to convince someone to risk their lives fighting for pic related than for a USA burger shack
>>737174083denounce the Talmud and the Torahyou won't ;)
>>737174031>>737174163So trve... I had even cat and lizard slaves and these Imperial crackas took them, they were happy singing and all and they also banned necromancy... I cant even speak to muh ancestors for guidance, now the Imperials brings my kids to school and now they want to join mages guild and learn stuff or travel Tamriel in one of them Legion...We wuz civilization and gods and shiet, wheres my skooma at?
>>737166336The artstyle throughout the game actually is pretty similar to the in-game "painted world"; I read somewhere it was an intentional artistic decision to have it like an actual real life artstyle, that I'm too retarded now to remember the name of, someone knows what I'm talking about surely.Still you could definitely argue that it's tonally off for the "end of the world"
>>737176905Impressionism?Compare this to >>737173868
>>737166060oblivion is soulless. >hehe le funneh voice actors and ai
>>737176993Yeah I think that's the one, I was thinking pointillism (but it's obviously not that )
>>737172652>>737172803>>737172868Ithelia isnt a tranny, but her ingame model sucks compared to the render and pre-order statue.Also she literally removed herself out of existence to be a mortal because the concentrated power of retcon and fanfic autism is too dangerous and only Herma Mora can deal with this. And yes, Daedric Princes can relinquish their position and sphere at any time, in her case, she knows that she alone was too much of a threat to exist, and Jygallag would be interested in her power.Hell, even Wes voiced ol squidward as a wise eldritch horror who honors his sphere, Mainly because he knows that Miraak is plotting against him at that period of the 2nd era, and he has his part in the future when akatosh finally decides to act.
>>737173818"Alt mer" as in Alternative to Mer"Chim mer" and they are the Mer most likely to achieve CHIM"Orsi mer" and they become Orcs"Bos mer" and they are the ones famed for bussy
>>737172367Morrowind's main quest isn't pressing though. Dagoth Ur has been fucking around for centuries and probably would continue to do so if the player was another failed incarnate. He isn't launching a large scale invasion and there isn't any indication that he is close to getting Akulakhan running.
>>737166295>MethredhelMalvulis, Renault, the three sisters in the elven quarter (forgot their names, one's a dog but three's a party), the countesses of anvil and bruma. Oblivion is a harem game.
Is there any news on ES6
>>737180907no
By pure stats bretons are the most powerful race in tesBeing 50% resistant/absorbent to magic means being able to make anti-mages while still being capable mages and knights themselves which means they can just drop magic warheads in every fight that would kill everyone else while they survive to heal with their improved restoration magic
Oblivion had Valen Dreth though.
>>737166060The only Mer that look kind of right in OG Oblivion are the Bosmer, and that's because it's canon a portion of their population look like ridiculous clown people.
>>737181392I don't know, there was something to be said about pre-4th era Nords being literally immune to the cold like they're some kind of arctic fish.
>>737182064Cutter and Thaedil are both Bosmer right?
>>737166336Bethesda literally copied the Shrek artstyle for Oblivion.
>>737182169Oblivion's case was literally bethesda dealing with facegen for the first time and not having a base foundation to the races.Notice that they really got better in Fallout 3
>>737181392>Breton stares at Telavivni wizards after their strongest fireball did nothing.Only place a m*ge can escape my wrath is by hinding in a tower with no stairs or teleport like a coward.
>>737166060They made them Dunmer in Oblivion you could say
>>737166336Skyrim's tone was far too serious - in a very gay and chuuni way. It just makes the garbage writing stand out more, which is kind of embarrassing.The NPC voice performances are strained to the point I feel they were given direction to sound as serious as possible at all times.The game has no levity whatsoever, NPCs just casually threaten you during normal conversations and there's nothing you can do about it because you're the Dragoncuck.
I like the oblivion faces and voices more then skyrim Oblivion feels like nerds larping and having funSkyrim feels like what executives think fantasy marvel would be
>>737185807GotD>(You)
>>737186060>GotDIf you're mentally retarded
>>737185984Oblivion VAs were mostly the same as Morrowind VAs too
>>737185151Where does the notion of "Anti Mage" skillsets in TES (as associated with Bretons) come from? I dont remember it being explicit anywhere in TES 2-5 outside the occasional Enchant that gives resist/reflect
>>737166060Ash skin
>>737166336I like it because if you dont want to play the story, you have the opportunity to RP like the world isnt ending
