yeah, coming from a home where my brother was involved in music all his life, I dont get this whole Guitar hero thing. As you said, learn to play the real guitar, much bigger pay off.
Tho when it comes to drums im sure there are millions of happy parents with the fake drum sets.
Talking about old Gold Box games, what I miss most from those games is having th THINK your way outta stuff, even if just combat. You didnt have endless fireballs, endless mana, special attacks that kill 100 enemies!
You had to think, manuver, counter attack, delay
I LOVED the old gold box games for that! Its what got me addicted to Never Winter Nights on AOL for a couple years before all the UOs and EQs and what not came out.
Now its just react react react! Where is the thinking part?
closest thing ive found to old AD&D games are Dragon Age Origins and The Witcher! The Witcher 2 (see my sig) looks amazing
I loved all the old Gold Box games! I wish gog.com would cut a deal with SSI so we could get our hands on the games updated to run with Vista. I am hopeless with Dosbox lol. I've found copies on ebay, but unless I get figure out Dosbox, I'll just have to wait.

Warcraft 1 and 2
Fallout 1 and 2
Might and Magic 1-7
Wizardry 6 and 7 (I liked 8 more, but it came out in 2001)
the old SSI Dungeons and Dragons Gold Box games
Diablo 1 and 2

I'm showing my age here, but I started out with Might and Magic 1 way back in the day :D I got MM6 through gog.com, and it's a lot of fun. I'd played MM7, so I was pretty familiar with the gameplay. I wish they hadn't changed the ability to have a Light and Dark caster in the same party, though I guess it does make sense.
I like harassing the Titans with my level 67 part :D Right now I'm in Castle Darkmoor :wallbash:

lol. As for character appearance, I'm happy with whatever is available as long as it doesn't have evolving characters.
Evolving characters? What game has that? I'll admit, I don't experiment too much with different games because of my low-end system.
On topic, I like the idea of being able to vary my character's appearance, especially in regards to size and shape. I've always imagined my female characters as strong and curvy, and prefer male characrters who are either very slender (for mages/rogues) or with powerful builds (warrior types)
-
I couldn't care less so I didn't vote, but I am curious about this 'immersion' thing and how it only ever seems to curiously cater to one ubiquitous element....
So I'm proposing a scat mod instead for some "realism" It'd be so realistic if a character actually pees or craps in his pants when he's about to kick the bucket :woot: or inconveniently has to dash to the riverbank (interupting his banging session with that girl with pointy ears and footballs on her chest ) amid a cacophony of splattering and rasps as the undercooked food/disease/infection kicks in... :teehee:
I'd love to see the gamers of today cope with pen and paper games ;)
Oh and remember! Everybody who's ever going to play Skyrim anywhere ever is reading this thread so your vote counts! :tongue:
*does a spit take* ROFL!
There's is such a thing as TOO much realism in games. Reminds me of a post on the Dwarf Fortress forums about whether the creator would add outhouses and sewers.
Footballs? The fact that bras go up to an M cup in places frightens me. The BBB modders would have to add in a wheelbarrow to haul those babies! Or a skateboard to scoot on, because with that chest and the mod lower body, she could only scoot around on her tummy :D
But back to nudity in Skyrim, I do like it, it'd be nice, but along with my earlier reason I stated, I'd prefer to see the modders handle it. Whether or not I agree with the stylings, I can appreciate the skill and talent going into it. Just as long as Bethesda doesn't give us horrible undies again, I'm happy.

This is slightly off topic, but what's the deal with cutting funding to education, infrastructure, and air traffic controllers? Do the Conservatives not need schools, roads, and safe flgiths?
Then put it in the relevant topic, and try not to be quite so condescending about it.
It wasn't my intention to be that way, so I apologize.
I wasn't aware there was already a topic relevant to this. I didn't see one, though I'll have another look.
On the other hand, calling me condescending tells me I hit a nerve somewhere.

If people cared they would spend their money on companies that do not outsource and pay more for it. Obviously people like to complain about it more than they want to spend more money for a local call center.
Agreed, though it isn't always so easy, since so many of them do it! It's coming back to bite them on the butts though, since people are starting to find the places that don't outsource and are taking their money elsewhere.
-
I've worked in call centers since 1998. It's not the greatest job in the world, but sometimes even with a college education, you can't always get what you want. So I am pretty much against outsourcing call centers, because it's cost me a job on several occasions, and makes it harder to get into the call center work that is available here. Also, I've noticed a backlash starting up against the companies who do use it, so it's going to start costing them eventually. What do you guys think?
-
But then the Left never seem to see the correlation between companies doing well and keeping their jobs until they get their redundancy notices...
Not ALL of us don't get it. I'm a Liberal, and even *I* know there can only be so much ion the way of taxes on corporations, else they pick up their ball and go home (or to China, the Phillipines, wherever). There needs to be balance, that much we all know, but until we can all agree on how to do it, we won't get anywhere.
Having said this, I'd like to say I know the areas where spending cuts shouldn't be done:
law enforcement
Women's health clinics (they aren't just about abortion)
Education
The EPA
Air traffic controllers
Here in the states, the conservatives are trying to get funding to all those things cut. Which makes me think they're special and don't need cops, their planes never crash, they can all afford to send their kids to private schools, they don't need clean air and safe water, and they never get pregnant when they don't want to be or have reproductive health issues :P

The Consumerist recently voted them one of the Worst Company of the Year or somesuch. They managed to get beat only by BP, and I think that's only because of the oil spill last year.

Some of the laws in place to restrict freedom are actually needed. Minimum wage laws restrict the freedom of any company--from Joe's Coffee Shop to Fortune 500 corporations--to pay wages that aren't liveable compared to the cost of living. Child labor laws restrict the freedom of said companies to hire little kids--heck, kids under 14, and make them do hazardous or disgusting tasks. The EPA laws are in place to protect the world around us because again, Corporate America would gleeflly go potty in their own living space (metaphorically speaking) to make an extra buck. The ADA and various other groups have helped get laws into place that restrict the ability to discriminate. certain laws exist to prevent banks from being free to charge 500 percent interest or 1000 dollar overdraft fees. I'm sure they would if they could.
The unfortunate fact is, human beings will gleefully abuse each other and the world around them to benefit themselves. Not all humans, of course. There's a lot of good people out there, and here, on this forum. These laws exist to ensure that people in general aren't going to get effed over by their less compassionate fellows.
Are you talking about things like this too?
Having said this, I do agree that there's a lot of silliness out there. If people want to be eat what's bad for them, smoke cigarettes, and whatever else the government is suddenly deciding to step in and put a stop to, then so be it.
This is slightly off topic, but what's the deal with cutting funding to education, infrastructure, and air traffic controllers? Do the Conservatives not need schools, roads, and safe flgiths?

People that bothered me in this thread think that this is some kind of porn mod where they can fulfill their fantasies. Please, get some porn movie and get done with it.
Well, mods are free, is why. They actually would have to pay for porn :P
Aside from that, I know all too well how it feels to be working with people on a project, only to have it go belly up. I used to be friends with a well known modder. We were working on a story together, and when it came time to write her next bit, she suddenly didn't feel like it anymore. I could have finished it without her, put the whole issue made me lose interest in it as well.
I struggle with the whole 'do it for you, and the rest will follow' thing. I admire your steadfastness, and I know that the next mod you do will be outstanding.

someone, somwhere, was working on a total conversion mod for either Oblivion or Morrowind regarding Daggerfall, but I can't find any info on it now.
-
I come here because of the moderators. It's safe here. When I want a forum that's more rough and tumble, I go to RPG Codex. for me, that's easy, but there are some people that want to apply GIFT (look it up, I shouldn't post about it here) wherever they go.

this is a huge help! Even if you prefer to not use generated names, it's a good starting point.

As I've said before, if the face editor is as broken as the Oblivion and FO3/FO:NV one, a burqa. Hey, it works for ugly chicks in France (apparently some 200 or so actually want to wear a burqa) :P
Or maybe something less radical, like a niqab. Might even pass for ninja mask :P
I am going to bite my tongue and simply say that these women wear these because of their religious beliefs, not because they fear they are unattractive.
Back on subject, I will agree. If the faces and bodies are as horrid as they were in Morrowind and Oblivion, then I want some decent face and body mods. I also love clothing and armor mods, and while I prefer that they suit the setting, I also enjoy fantastic stylings as well.
Hair mods! bethesda can never get hair right.
Playable Daedra.
-
Same as above. Nothing but it.
Wait, you forgot there will also be mods to make everyone look like cutesy-poo Anime dollies, and Hentai mods! Can't ;eave those out :P

IMO the argument against nudity from the standpoint of "kids might inadvertently see it" is rather silly. It isn't the developer's job to keep your little'uns from seeing things you don't want them seeing. Ignoring the whole argument that seeing nudity somehow damages kids (which I disagree with, having been raised around nudity myself), it doesn't make sense to impose restrictions on the majority of the game's target audience based on the old "we must protect the children" line of thinking. Most of the people who will buy and play this game, statistically, are single adults in their late teens to mid twenties... and most folks who fit that description don't have kids running around. No offense or anything, but using kids as a justification for censorship in games only serves to reinforce the idiotic popular notion that all games are somehow for kids.
I consider a "enable/disable underwear" button in the options menu to be an entirely reasonable and appropriate solution to the nudity conundrum.
This! It all comes down to parents not wanting to, you know, actually parent. Instead of being invoilved with their children and what they're doing, they throw it back on the game designers/FCC/etc to protect their little darlings from such horrors as cuss words and nudity.
Regarding the enable/disable option, both Daggerfall and Battlespire had Parental Controls. But again, this would require active parenting.
Please don't kill me if you're actually a good parent. I only mean the ones who use media devices as a babysitter, then cry and whine when their kid sees something they shouldn't. Also, would like to point out that I'm an American, and at my age (46) life is too short to worry about naked pixels :P
-
4: First off, where did Daggerfall have nudity (DONT GIVE A PIC!)? Second, the ESRB did not exist then. Hence, it was totally unrated, as no rating system existed.
The female daedra and witches (Along with many other female characters with a magical bent) were topless.
You could also find nudes/semi nudes in the Dibella temples, random chicks in some of the rooms at the inns, and i believe in the King of Worms lair or Dark Brotherhood (the real King of Worms, not the watered down retcon in Oblivion, btw).
I didn't necessarily go looking for it, but I am the sort of player who opens every door she sees just to see what's in there.
-
nay, saves Bethesda from dealing with fox news and modders always take care of that the frist week or so.
Besides, there are children in this game. Think of the npc children!
You beat me to it! :D
Besides, do we really want Bethsda doing the nudes? The bodies in Morrowind were horrible, and only a bit better in Oblivion.
-
I was going to make a comment that probably not, since Bethesda seems to take the whole 'Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children?!' trope to heart, but then I remember all the gore in Fallout 3 :D
I think it would add to the game, if not done in a cartoony or over the top way.
-
There are many things no one understands about Oblivion... lol. Morrowind had pretty bad graphics, but everything in it was better... *Sigh* And if they importing it from Morrowind, why in Oblivion did they (excuse the pun :P) change it to be crappy?!
Here's my take. Maybe the armor itself doesn't get imported, but the glass itself does, and some of the folks native to Cyrodiil learn to work it. So it lacks the awesome Dunmer of Vvardenfell appearance, and instead takes on the generic pseudo-medieval flavor of the Oblivion setting.
-
Yes, Oblivion was delayed, by about 4-4.5 months or so. It was supposed to be out in November 2005, and finally shipped in March 2006. So far as I recall (I might be remembering wrongly) It was a surprise last second delay. I remember going into a game shop in early November and seeing signs saying it had been delayed until March. Given the bugs that it had anyway, might have been better to delay it longer still.

Am I the only one who knows the semantic difference between complex and complicated? I personally do not know what Skyrim gonna be like, and I feel like there only the minority who will critically criticize choices if they feel it in the wrong direction instead blindly follow a choice because i do not know why to be honest. I however would not blame consoles or anything like that, but dumbing down is an issue (Mass Effect, Halo, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, Dragon Age, Fable, Command and Conquer, WoW are one I can think on the top of my dead as popular games). I personally believe that Skyrim can be good, but there is a large margin that lends to a potential of messing it up. People need to learn to discuss I think the idea they have done might work, but I am worried as a ES fan. Thank you, do not worry, Bethesda has not jumped on the mainstream bandwagon....yet.
PS :psyduck: POKEMON!
Complex would be a game that has depth, choices, consequences, and so on, all the good things that make a CRPG great.
Complicated would be requiring FPS reflexes for combat (for me anyway), math and logic puzzles to open a dungeon (M&M 1. I'm looking at you) and a whole lot of Guide Dang It* situations in general. or puzzles consisting of 'If it's Tuesday, talk to the Orc, but only if he likes purple and is sitting on a duck. Otherwise, go and sit on a blue rock and chant the name 'Bob' until a pink fairy shoes up and gives you a plate.' with little to no indicationt hat you're supposed to do any of this.
