Stopped watching when Todd reared his big derpy head.

You let us know when there's a VH1 Behind the Music style documentary where they talk about Todd Howard ODing on heroin surrounded by a bunch of midget prostitutes dressed as khajiit.

And they didnt mention when they kicked Chris Weaveron his sorry ass and striped him from his rights to TES,
Most things that beth post about them and their games looks like half-assed commie propaganda

Because Bethesda was just a small, scrappy developer of 20 guys who made intriguing but shitty games with complicated interfaces and combat. And then they became an overnight legend and changed the game industry landscape forever with Oblivion, the most epic RPG ever created.

:thumbsup:

with the amount of revisionism and propaganda being created for video games I think I know what it feels like to have lived in the Soviet Union. I feel you, my potato bros.

Fixed.

Everything bethsoft is today, started with Morrowind. It was a massively dumbed down retard-friendly decline from Daggerfall, AND it was multiplatform consoletard hit salivated all over by millions of xbawks subhumans. Anyone who rags at oblivion yet is a fanboy of morrowind is quite clearly a newfag.

Not this again. Morrowing might be shit but it was pretty much PC-centric game designed specifically for PC and they never planned to make it a console game until it was finished. They ported it to xbox a year later and from what I've heard it was the most unstable and underperforming original xbox game of all time. Unfortunately, it still sold and massive decline accelerated.

Morrowind for the Xbox actually came out one month after, not a year, so there was some definite simultaneous development there, though yeah it showed the signs of a PC to console port rather than multiplatform from the start.

I couldn't help but feel disgust as I watched this. Mostly I felt as though someone was feeding me propaganda and advertising but then again what was I expecting from this video?
