Elder Scrolls V - Part 3

[DBryan]

I thought the perk system was lifted from Fallout.

Personally I think it's totally fair. Skyrim has an entire skill tree dedicated to sneak with specific sneak related items. When I created my own built, I specifically pre-thought out that I wanted to play as a Rogue. Shogun 2 isn't totally a RPG game but I would say thats skill tree is more balanced than Skyrim as well.



Batman Arkham City works in a similar manner regardless of stats. Critical strikes, instant take downs. The diffrences with stats doesn't really stop Bethesda from looking at it and saying "hey this is really good". The combat in Skyrim is taken from Bioshock, which isn't DnD at all. And I beleive the perk system, from Call Of Duty.

When you progress through Arkham City, Rocksteady attempt to mix things up. Nightvision goggles to stop the player just perching on top of Gargoyles. Scramblers on specific NPC's that stop the player from abusing detective mode. Hostages that prevent the player from appearing and dissapearing. Even though you are basically going into a room and doing the same thing over and over it never feels reptitive because the game is giving you these little tweaks with each encounter. Skyrim was kind of getting there with those ghosty skeletor people you can stab when they are sleeping like a statue. But I haven't came across that again very much so far.

Have you played D&D? I'm not talking video game, I'm talking the sit down at a table with a bunch of friends pen and paper roleplaying game. You know, the game that made it so we HAVE computer and console RPGs. I'm saying that in D&D a high level rogue with a good weapon can deal upwards of 200 damage to an opponent with a sneak attack and good damage rolls. A rogue at level 19 deals an additional 10d6 damage with a sneak attack. A rogue at level 20 has the option to outright kill ANY opponent who fails a fortitude save after a sneak attack. Also, the perks system? D&D did it first. They're called feats.

lol

If you doubt my word feel free to sit for an hour and find the specific point at which Todd Howard admits the magic mechanic is taken from Bioshock. There is also another video were he specifically sights Call Of Duty as something people will recognize. I'm pretty sure there was also another video of him mentioning Bioshock. As well as specifically saying they look at other games for inspiration.

Edit: 3:24

I'm talking about a video game. Which the mechanics are adapted too.
There is no reason what I mentioned couldn't be adapted. Most DnD licensed games are also imbalanced as hell even after revisions and specific gameplay changes.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

One thing I wish they did with Sneak is only increase damage if you use a dagger or bow.

Yeah, the magic plays the way plasmids did in Bioshock, but that's about it. With swordplay and whatnot there are still elements that rely on success rolls, if you so choose to take the perks. And sure, perks are very relatable to the CoD crowd, but Bethesda has them in all their games so... I lol.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

With swordplay and whatnot

The sword play is influenced by a mod called "deadly reflex". The basic point that Bethesda looks at something and takes from it stands. So nothing to argue here. All i'm saying is they should take a look at Arkham City, it is very good at the specific elements they are currently very weak in.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

And you guys thought Spock was a disturbed

Man I really want to see you design a game lol.

What in the...? How the hell did they manage to do that?

 

[Benstamania]

He would probably vanish because he'd end up criticizing his own work. Kind of like getting Mixelplix to say his name backwards.

If that ever got sent to Fox News, we'd never hear the end of it.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

With all the whining he does, it better be the best game ever.

i mean getting a companion killed is no a problem, they love to walk in your way...but the fact he kept the heads and some how found a way to move the body. because im sure everyone knows, moving a body takes a very long time.

 

[Master Chief]

Not with Unrelenting Force. He's playing on PC so there's probably a console command to make it easier. Either way, very messed up. I'm just happy whoever set that up isn't doing that in real life... I hope.

lol yeah, I can see that. It's what happened with 3D Realms because of Duke Nukem Forever.

Holy ****. Don't let Fox News or the politicians see this, it'll give them a raging mass hysteria *****.

i almost want them to see it, so they can rename skyrim to something completely wacky.

[Benstamania]

Heeeey now, as a Fox News (I'm not a raging Liberal/Progressive... Sorry) watcher I have to say this: Only "Fox and Friends" would jump on this... and I'd have to agree that it's a show for Soccer Mom's and grandma's... They're about as far away from "news" as possible and they don't help the Network... They focus on the Regis & Kelly group.

However, shows like America Live, The Shep Report and The Five are pretty awesome.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

If you hold the button to search, you can move the object. Though it's incredibly tedious to get it in a position you want. I tried to display my Dragonbone Helmet on a shelf, it was impossible. I couldn't imagine putting heads in a bookcase.

Skyrim of the Lambs?

 

[Matt Mortem]

So I met the most powerful dragon in the entire world. It killed me with one breath of fire. I'm a very high level and it just swooped down and ****ed up my day

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Flame and Frost resistances. I have 42% on my boots, dragons don't do **** to me.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I don't have any resistance. I should work on that. My armor rating is 672 but fire and frost really wreck my day
