I wouldn't mind a remake, provided they did it correctly.
See, earlier games talked about Tamriel (edit; Cyrodiil), it was described as being a dense, bamboo filled jungle, The empire was described as being sort of like Rome, but with an ancient Chinese bent.
In other words, nothing like the generic European fantasy land that we actually got.
Imagine a claustrophobic jungle where adventure is just on the other side of the tree line. You could stumble on to hidden temples and cozy villages.
Sadly, that would require more than one type of tree texture. Otherwise, it would be a wall of blandness for the entire game, and if you're doing a wall of blandness, you might as well open things up so that the player can see the horizon.
This is why Morrowind sucked me in back in the day. Huge-ass mushrooms everywhere. Weird floating jellyfish and all manner of bizarre creatures from top to bottom. It was so foreign and different, it was amazing.
I played TES Online briefly and the uniqueness of Morrowind was incredibly stark. Every other zone is just standard European fantasy. And that’s fine, but what originally pulled me into the series was the strangeness of Morrowind. It was truly unique.
It’s a bit sad to me that they brought the series way back into the standard fantasy fare.
Yeah, that’s probably why I bounced off of Skyrim. I skipped Oblivion, so I came in expecting an interesting environment and it was just standard European fantasy for the most part.
Sidenote: if you’re pretending shit for internet points, at least try for 10 seconds to put yourself in the shoes of the person you’re pretending to be…
I’ve been in a 10+ hour flight with 6 young children sitting next to and in front of me recently and It’d only make me look like an immature piece of shit if I were to complain because I have childhood memories about those kind of adults and that’s all what I thought of them back then.
The exception being when one of those kids is running around the plane spitting on people. Happened to me on a return trip from the Philippines. That was neat.
I'd be more likely to buy it in the hopes they do something like Skyrim Anniversary edition and give owners the game free/discounted.
Admittedly because it's older that's less likely (especially free), but they could do it to keep good faith so those people evangelize the game on other platforms and to new audiences. I was surprised they did it for Skyrim, which was also pretty old.
Isn't the CPU support reason solely specific to a new feature Windows 11 was going to use, and you can just use Windows 10 while it's still in support? Plus Windows 10 knows this and won't even try to update your PC to windows 11?
It's not a really strong argument when most hardware drivers are made with Windows in mind first, and maybe someone is going to write up a Linux driver if they're interested. I mean Linux went for years having to do some hack&slash solution to broadcom drivers until they were finally added in. That affected at least 2 laptops in my lifetime.
I will stop to say that currently, I think Linux is in a good spot. But you can't just pretend the issue absolutely doesn't exist because your specific setup works.
I don’t think people are pretending Linux is perfect. More people than expected though, are simping for windows despite the fact that the money and energy spent on it truly ought to have led to a better product than what we got.
Oh no, I believe no one is under any delusions that Linux is a perfect OS that does everything well and has no issues (well, beyond a few nutcases). It’s just that on Linux you CAN solve issues, you CAN find causes, you CAN solve things, and in general once it works, it just keeps working indefinitely. Compare this to windows, which has new mysterious shit frequently, that breaks in unfixable ways to the point that even now the standard troubleshooting procedure is still the three Rs: Reboot, Reinstall, Reformat, and which frequently pulls the rug on you related to support of both hardware and software, all the while being full of telemetry and ads.
Agreed! I was talking to someone last night about revitalizing their laptop with Linux and they asked me how much RAM they needed. I checked my pop os machine ram usage with no apps running, just under 4 GB. Then checked windows 10 after closing like 10 autoloading programs. 9 GB. Windows is bloated af. It’s honestly a miracle it runs.
In the last five years, I’ve run Linux across a vast range of differing hardware, and I’ve encountered no more issues regarding driver support than I have under Windows.
I simply attach the hardware, and it works. At most I installed NVIDIA drivers via my package manager, which was simple and painless; or I downloaded the drivers as .Deb’s for my Brother printer and installed them quickly and easily using the supplied script.
I’m sure I’m not the only one with such experience.
That just means you didn't use the hardware that had the issues. Which is entirely possible given the nature of hardware issues. It happens all the time on Windows as well.
