TES is also overrated (ie. Pike & MILF would like to have words with you)

[Pike]

So thank you for that post, MILF. It explained the strong points of the writing, storytelling style, and world design far better than the earlier posts had.

I'm a trout writer, I get it

Dunno why the thread was split; I'm not gonna post in it anymore. I've said my piece.

Perhaps it was because you were expecting your audience to be more familiar with the core concepts, rather than someone with minimal exposure to the series.

Unfortunately, I'm fairly sure the core audience aren't made up of people who are as engaged with the community or are quality writers and creative geniuses who think that the community is the best part of the game. Given that I hadn't heard of this community until now, it certainly doesn't rank high on the list of things that have earned the series praise overall.

So, I have to say, I still think the series is massively delectable.

Dark Souls obliterates TES

[Madame Adequate]

If Skyblade had been talking about Dark Souls instead of TES I would have agreed with every word. I love the game but I cannot begin to understand where this notion it has any merit, lorewise, comes from.

To be fair, though, Dark Souls almost never receives praise for it's lore, it's lauded almost purely on gameplay.

Tons of people praise The Elder Scrolls for all sorts of things that the games do not execute well.

TES lore is great, gameplay is eh. It's overrated if you judge by gameplay or plot, not by atmosphere or lore.

[NeoCracker]

...Delectable is a good thing though. So shouldn't you say it's delectable if you judge by lore?

[Del Murder]

Haha, oh Neo you poor misguided soul.

Delectable overrated over-rated

Who's smurfing idea was that?

[chionos]

What the smurf have I missed here about the word "delectable" because everything in this thread hinges on that word and, I just, the way you all, seriously just what the smurf is going on here with words and meanings and definitions and trout.

Edit for testing of evil mod bulltrout:

detestable

Damn, it wasn't that. Hmmm.

Edit again:

delectable


Muahahaha. I figured it out. If I wasn't such an honest guy, I'd rep myself. Oh man I'd rep myself so hard right now.

Edit a thrice. Now I just feel stupid because it was the obvious answer to this enigma all along. I blame the still being up at 6am thing. So I'll go to sleep now. Know this, however, that I will be back tomorrow and better equipped to deal with you vile demons of word-switching.

I've never been one to put much value in fan works, I've always been more interested in Word of God style lore than what the fans have written, its why I don't acknowledge the EU of Star Wars for instance. It still largely sounds to me like a good fansite can get you most of the best experience while the games simply give you more context as to what people are saying. I don't care either way because the TES franchise has never really done much for me.

[Laddy]

Get a developer like Obsidian on an Elder Scrolls game and you have maybe the best game of all time.

Seriously.

If Half-Life 3 ever...

[Psychotic]

Dragon Break and CHIM are two utterly brilliant pieces of lore that actually explain video game mechanics.

[theundeadhero]

I play and enjoy Elder Scroll games. I posted that to see Milf and Pike argue against it. Whelp...
