What's the most novel thing about Oblivion?

It's like an RPG and an FPS at the same time. Mind-blowing.

Okay, well, good talk. I think we all learned a lot. If you ever gain the ability to remember more than two videogames at once, let me know.

I can rest now knowing that no one in this thread will ever think of Morrowind as anything but a work of generic Tolkien-era fantasy ever again.

[20:50:13] <@Snupes> To be fair, every thread in FES derails into three pages of people asking one another "why are you so stupid?"
[20:50:17] <@Snupes> Case in point: TES thread
[20:51:13] <@Snupes> All life in every conversation quickly gets sucked out of it so everyone can stroke their egos and smile smugly downwards at the other in some weird Möbius strip of self-wankery.

<Saddam> It's like when people say "This city shouldn't look like that"

loler. Remember when you thought Windhelm's layout in Skyrim was canon?

Again, that was a continuity issue, not a lore issue.  When I talk about supposed lore issues, I'm talking about people who get an image in their heads of what a city "should" look like based upon its descriptions in the lore, and then complain because the developers didn't give them what they were picturing.  For example, there was Diego's bawing in his rant that the Imperial City's design somehow violated lore simply because it wasn't as big and impressive as he would have liked.  That's not how lore works.

The greatest city in all of Tamriel has a total population of maybe a few hundred people.

Irrelevant.  The populations of video game worlds are condensed to make them playable.

Starcraft universe is tiny because there can only be 100 SCVs per player. What is that 800 or 1600?

There are roughly 2500 npcs in the Morrowind

That just means they're viewing the text-only screen, which also happens to be the print screen.

Saddam is the fun-killer.
Saddam is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my Saddam.
I will permit it to pass over and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where Saddam has gone there will be nothing.
Only fun will remain.
