No, it an "adventure" game season one by Telltale.

YOU WANT SOME? FUCK YOU DRAGON.

WHAT'S THAT DWARVEN MASTER CENTURION?

YEAH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. PUSSY.

These are suitably Howardian (Robert E., not Todd). Sometimes you can make lemonade out of lemons.

Skyrim really only works as a hiking sim. I really enjoyed looking around some of the areas. That first big city you encounter was fun. Meadow, small streams, town on a hilltop and a fog rolling in followed by rain and thunder. That's nice.

Too bad pretty much everything else seems to be designed to ruin all that.

Earlier...

Why Bethesda? There's nothing stopping me? Even BioWare stick walls and shit in your face so you know you can't GO THERE.

See, I always thought the whole "barriers everywhere around our province" thing was stupid. I much prefer that message, more immersive for me because a road to Morrowind actually exists, etc. In Oblivious there were no roads or paths to the other provinces at all, to avoid exactly what you're bitching about here.

Can't please everyone, etc. etc.

Did anything come out of modders discovering that the bordering provinces were pretty much already roughly modeled into the game? I figured we'd either get a few dlc that would expand the territory or that modders would quickly break it open and start fucking around with it.

I'm not the biggest mod guy but I know someone recreated Morrowind already, very roughly.

Actually there was a road to Morrowind, it just wouldn't let you progress further at some point. One of the rare "gimme 100 gold" Highwaymen was stationed near it, even. The paths to other provinces mostly just stop on the middle of nowhere though. But yes, the world has to end at some point and an arbitrary "the game is the other way, you have to go back" is still better than a giant line of impassable mountains or buildings.

BEHOLD, fair Codexia, the epic tale of Captain Gabel Bogo:

Spoiler

My name is Gabel Bogo, Captain of the Yellow Bros.

My squad and I are protecting a stone quarry in the remote planet of Codexia, a crucial strategic asset for the catapults of the Imperium.

Over 10 million workers work in the dangerous caves where the glorious STONE lies..... wait, what is that yellow shadow?

By the EMPRAH, one of the workers has gone mad and is attacking the support pilar for the entire cave system!

I must stop him! Without STONE, the entire sector is in danger!

Surrender hope, SPESS MEHREN! Your false EMPRAH can't protect you now!

SILENT HERETIC! The Codex Astartes names this manuever "STONE RUN".

Not even that can help you now, the pillar falls, I am victorious! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

HAHAHAHA...a.a...a...... er...that was underwhelming....

HERETIC BLUG, by your crimes against the EMPRAH, (and lack or other methods of disposal) you shall be cast into the void, where you never should have left!

NOOOOOOOOOOO, I will get you for this, Gabel Bogo!

ARHGSHSGSHSGSHGSHGSHSGSHLADJSOIDNM!!!!!!1111111


THE END.

Invisible walls are more immersive than visible walls?

Well that's a first.

Also, ever heard of gates? They're these giant doors that you can place on a path to bar access to certain areas?

Well, with BioWare walls you're usually irked because the areas are already so tiny. But here you have a pretty massive outdoor area and you've been walking for a day of gametime when suddenly trekking up a path you're treated to the message YOU CAN'T GO THERE. Yeah, sorry, but that's just lazy design.

When the latter means a country is completely closed in from everything around it, yes.

post of the year, pack it up boys

 

[Tel Velothi]

Reminded me of this: http://chanarchive.org/4chan/v/2503/fargoth

Sometimes, I like to create a Bosmer character identical in face and hairstyle to him. Then, in the dead of night, pick his lock and enter his house, completely naked.

I murder him. I take his clothes, and dispose of his corpse.

The rest of the game is spent not taking quests, but travelling around Seyda Neen, simply being him. I sleep in his bed. I eat his food. I walk in the same aimless pattern he did.

And I talk to his best friend, Arille. Though we maintain an air of friendly chatter, I can see the uneasiness in his eyes. All the villagers. They know. They're watching me.

I've passed 100+ game days doing this.

epic shit

Almost tempted to reinstall Morrowind again instead. Maybe later.

MEANWHILE IN SKYRIMZ

Chillaxin in Blackreach with Dunehviir. Ok you can barely make the dragon out. BUT HEY. GOOD PLAN TO MAKE 80% OF THE AREA PITCH FUCKING DARK. AND THEN TO TOP IT OFF, MAKE A RETARDED FETCH QUEST ITS ONLY REASON FOR EXISTING. WELL AN ELDER SCROLL TOO BUT YOU CAN JUST BREEZE TO THAT. I MEAN YEAH KINDA FUN TO GET AMBUSHED BY FALMER THAT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE. WELL SHIT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE YOURSELF SWINGING YOUR DICK. UNDECIDED IF I THOUGHT BLACKREACH OR SOUL CAIRN WAS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME. BOTH? Well atleast Blackreach offers no less than 3 routes to the surface so you're never too far from commodities. Shit Cairn - different story.

Taking a lift to the surface from PITCHBLACKREACH and walk randomly and well. Dead horse. Or would that be, dead horse's ass? I don't care. Just weird. THIS SHIT IS WEIRDDDDD.

With all the caves and mines in Tamriel it's no wonder that sudden cave-ins and holes in the ground are a common cause for horse-cart related accidents and horse-asses sticking up into the air. I wonder what Andyman Messiah thinks about that.

Got bored and decided to dick around with the original Stronghold's campaigns on very hard. Unfortunately, saving the game without admin privileges on Win7 fails without confirmation that it failed, so I ended up losing the progress on a few military missions, getting pissed, and deciding to play through the economic campaign in the meantime.

Third mission: The rather hilarious result of requiring 200 people, 6400 gold, and permitting me to sell wood and wheat.

Fourth mission: Oh god, it burns. Literally. Fires in this game are so god damn irritating. I probably had over twenty wells running and, even then, fires were absolutely fucking awful, especially if they hit my bakeries. Fortunately, I never lost any bakeries, but I would lose 30-50 people as they walked into a giant wall of flames. Requirements were pretty damn steep as well: 720 bread, 80 maces, 80 leather armor, 360 stone, and completing the castle. On top of that, you had frequent bandit and wolf attacks. The first few groups of bandits just wail on a tower, but the last couple actually make a move for your quarries and would've been a bitch if I had remained inside the castle "skeleton" that I started the mission with. Important/expensive industries were isolated with 6+ open tiles in order to prevent fire from spreading across my entire base.

Fifth mission: Anticlimactic is pretty much the only way to describe it. Requirements were really basic: 10000 gold. On top of that, there was no military activity at all and you started off with a bunch of cruel buildings already built. With pitch and bread available for export, it was pretty much trivial.

If it's installed under "Program Files" try checking C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\[APPNAME] for your saves. Win7 UAC sticks anything saved to the apps folder without admin privileges in there. (It may be "Program Files x86" instead in both places)
