Honestly punishing mindless grinding was a pretty based design choice and only filters low IQ tards that don't know how to build a character.
You could also just avoid leveling altogether or as much as possible.I think Morrowind filtered more people anyways.
>Oblivion Not true retro.
>>12627861Read the sticky.
>>12627881Kys
>grindingwho the fuck grinds in oblivionthe game has so many to completely break itlevel scaling just makes the whole world boringyou can just go everywhere, fight everything at level 1no dangerous zones, nothing to build up to, you never feel any progression
>>12627917Go to kvatch at level 1 and you're getting fucked
>>12627881>DirectX 9 (2002) requiredplatform disqualification
>>12627861>>12627910uh oh someone's janny application got rejected
>>12627948The platform is PC, not DirectX 9.
>>12628449I'm fine with drawing the line somewhere with PC, especially considering 360 exclusives can't be talked about, and Oblivion would have a hell of a time running on a system that could barely run Morrowind.
>>12628479there's already a line tho>released no later than December 2007
>>12628481And specifically for>platforms launched in 2001 and earlierSo a PC from 2001 or earlier would not have access to the required DirectX 9.
>>12628489morrowind launched as a dx8.1 game retardkun, dx9 was a patch addition
>>12628492>morrowind launched as a dx8.1 game retardkunAnd we're talking about Oblivion, ESL fagball, which has a minimum requirement of DirectX 9.0c
>>12627763If that's the excuse you need for dogshit design then sure, its so organic having to make sure I only level up to very specific levels to make sure the game doesn't shit out because I leveled too much. Great design.>>12627861Oblivion was the downfall of gamingThat specific game, even Half-Life 2 which I see get faulted for it I think caused less harm to gaming than Oblivion did
>>12628489on PC the OS is the platform, windows xp is retro
>>12628541You just have to raise skills until you get a +5 it not that hard
>>12628489You're retarded.
>>12628628You can stop replying to the troll trying to derail the thread
>>12628765Yeah, start talking about the game instead.DirectX feels more appropriate as a 'platform' since Windows XP can apply up to seventh gen games.
Not retro!
As discussed in a previous thread, the whole DirectX thing would mean jannies would have to look up system requirements for every mid 00s PC game posted and they'll never bother doing that
>>12628773The platform is simply PC.
I liked how I'd occasionally come across an Imperial fort in Morrowind. I was expecting more or a similar amount in Oblivion but there's only towns.>>12628924There was some more effort and less tolerance before the hack. Early 2020's I got warned for posting in a Bioshock thread because it was 'off topic' before it was deleted. Now a few months I got warned for suggesting a Bioshock thread wasn't retro.>>12628927Too vague.
>>12628967>There was some more effort and less tolerance before the hackThat's because Combine_Kegan quit being a janny after he got doxxed during the hack. He still posts in the Doom threads though
>>12627948Is Halo 1 getting disqualified?
>>12629009Lol lmao even.You wouldn’t need to do any “DirectX” cross referencing, though, just simply nuke anything that’s seventh gen.>>12629016No because it’s on Xbox, a 2001 console released before 2007.
>>12629037How about Halo Custom Edition by Gearbox dummy, both PC games were DirectX 9.0b
>>12628967You should have posted Mac port of Bioshock that use opengl and not directx dummy
>>12629045>>12629092>dummyEither two PG sweethearts or blatant samefaggotry. But sure, why not, Halo PC can fuck off but good luck policing it: Jannies cross-referencing required DirectX versions is easy compared to camping Halo discussions - both much harder than telling seventh gen games to fuck off.
>>12628924It'd only be for the ones that get repeat threads. If it's a single mention and never shows up again for years, so long as it's not something obvious, it wouldn't be damaging to the board.Basically, moderation needs to be able to apply subjective judgement on top of objective rules. It's like porn, best we can say is "I'll know it when I see it."
>>12627826You can just level up your way through Morrowind though
