Unintentionally or not it's having that effect. When it gets brought up they have no qualms about saying they don't give a hoot.

No, they'd make something that would allow them to make graphix even purtier.
Not something that will make a game better RPG.

Ok, RAI has some potential to be such step, but... again, it's Bethesda. Such system sounds like very easy to screw up... and you can indeed trust Beth when it comes to it. They love it. They, I daresay, specialize in it.

That's like saying that C++ is a 'feature'. It might help make the forests interesting, but that remains to be seen, and as an actual gameplay enhancement it is basically nothing.

Would you rather see games still coded in C?

Great.not only will we get sideways leaning tree's http://www.rpgcodex.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=10819 (check 'em out....speedtree looks like crapola, heh.) but now we gotta deal with some sort of u-m advertisement in-game? imagine....yer wondering through the town, and here's this huge billboard " the university of maryland-----we know soil erosion!"
question: is soil erosion going to happen real time? or is it going to be just a method to get cool looking terrains?

Umm... I see no sideways leaning trees in that thread?
Also you do realize that a credit usually appears in the CREDITS right? Not necessarily in game? I mean hell, they already gave advertising to U of M or we wouldn't even be talking about them!

It's a tool in the construction set. Once the terrain is generated, eroded, etc., it's final and doesn't change in the game.
As for the leaning trees, I'm guessing the screenshot in question is looking uphill, which makes the trees look like they're leaning backwards.

I've been computer-game-less for about a year, ever since I tried to install a wireless card and screwed up my registry. (Tried and failed? Tried and died.) I've been planning on buying a new computer for a while, but have been delaying it as long as possible so as to be able to run Oblivion and other new games at the highest settings possible. I guess now that the "official" specs are out, I don't have any more excuses to delay. I mean, Bethesda never changes their mind about things, so these specs are as holy as the Ten Commandments, right?

I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this, and I didn't want to start a post, but I figured while we're lampooning everything else, I would include another stupid ESF fanboy quote, along with response.

Just wondering why that is so sweet. That's small potatoes. Sure, it might add to the realism, but I want a good RPG, not a sitting simulator...especially because I'm sitting while I'm playing the game. |
