They build Maya/Aztec style temples and pyramids.

Who do you think built those IRL?


Humans? Lol no.

Not many know this but the Redguard were actually inspired by the blackmen.

Too far

Originality is not a binary scale.

Incorrect. Something is either original or it isn't. The discussion on the scaled "uniqueness" of a work of art is irrelevant to whether it is original or not.

Obviously you believe things can be more or less original than one another, otherwise you wouldn't sarcastically claim that something is "original and refreshing".

How could you get that claim out of those two words? I certainly must be missing something here.

Why would you make fun of something for being a certain way if it couldn't possibly be any other way?

So not all art is equally unique?

[Saddam Hussein]

Oh no, don't start this terrible discussion again.

wat

I'm not saying it's bad, just that it's been so long since I played that I can't really fairly pass judgment on it.

Aw.  I was hoping for some quality Snupes bashing.

This discussion is fruitful and exciting Saddam.

[Saddam Hussein]

He's got nothing.  You know he's got nothing.  He's not going to elaborate on his answer.  He's not going to provide counter-examples.  He's not going to lift a finger to make this discussion any more productive or any less of a pain to slog through.  Please, just let it go.

[Particle Person]

But what if he does?

[Saddam Hussein]

That's absurd.  It would be like Parsifal going to a gym, or Thork not being an idiot.  This is real life, not an RPG.  People can't change who they are fundamentally.

[Blanko]

Fuck off, Saddam.

[Saddam Hussein]

And Blanko will always be an asshole.

ur wrong.

When was I making fun of it? Saddam made a basic incorrect assessment, that Oblivion is generic fantasy (it is) but that somehow Morrowind isn't (it also is). This entire discussion has been a result of that assessment and you appear to be arguing that Morrowind is in fact not generic. If you believe it is generic, then I don't really see the ongoing point of the discussion if we all agree TES is generic fantasy and can move on.

So not all art is equally unique?

Yes. Some art includes more novel material than others. (Once again noting novel != original)

Edit* Changed "no" to "yes"

Saddam will never stop being a party pooper.

When you sarcastically referred to it as original and refreshing, like we were just discussing. I'm not making any argument.

Can you give us an example of a videogame that contains a lot of novel material?

[Rushy]

I wouldn't define that as "making fun" but okay.

I'm not making any argument.

Then what are you doing, exactly? An argument is "an exchange in which the participants have opposing views." Are you saying that you agree wholly with what I've been stating?

Can you give us an example of a videogame that contains a lot of novel material?

I don't have a list.
