This mod in particular was just a custom area in the game. If you like punishing yourself and don't mind save scumming until you get a feel for it the Requiem Overhaul for Skyrim is a lot of fun. Brings it more in line with earlier games like Morrowind where undead like draugr will be virtually immune to damage outside of fire attacks / silver weapons, trolls will regenerate their health rapidly unless you set them on fire. Archetypes are more clearly defined where it takes a lot of skill points to use magic to any real degree while wearing full plate and everything does a lot more damage so combat feels more impactful, getting hit in the face by a 2h axe will kill you so you best be dodging those swings. It does start out pretty slow though because you can basically only kill bandits and wolves for the first 20 levels.
Skyblivion is being released sometime in 2025 though and I'm pretty hype for that.
Everyone just remembers it fondly because of nostalgia now
But it's so bad
Finding Patrick Stewart's bastard son Sean Bean so he can do all the actual work of defeating Mehrunes Dagon
I remember literally putting the controller down and saying "Wow, that was awful"
Even the lauded Dark Brotherhood plot is bad because it's so heavily telegraphed that you can see it coming and yet, you are powerless to stop it despite the game pretending like your choices matter
Ok this is all true but having Patrick Stewart phone in his lines is still the most memorable ES main plot to me. OK maybe i've never finished an ES main story and sure, i want Picard to be my real dad but still
Everyone hyped up the Dark Brotherhood questline so much only for it to turn out dog shit.
Everyone acts like Lucian Lachance is so cool, but he just dies like a chump.
He should have been doing a power play or something instead of the awful plot we got where some mama’s boy kills everyone and there is nothing you can do because everyone in the Dark Brotherhood is incompetent.
Edit: some of the individual quests are good tho I guess, but the overarching story was so blah
Yeah, Bethesda seems to really do better on DLC. Shivering Isles is easily one of the best parts of Oblivion, and I quite enjoyed Dragonborne. Dawnguard had cool setpieces but the overall story wasn't my cup of tea
Skyrim had the worst story of any of the Elder Scrolls
I thought it was a good game.
I never finished the main story though, and I got it on release in 2011.
Best way to play it is to ignore the main quest TBH, just like Fallout 3
Another game I never finished. Haha
Yeah, you're probably right!
Oblivion and Skyrim aren't games you play for the story silly, they're engines to build your own video game via modding.
It worked for that one guy who made that mod about the secret time loop city
He went ahead and made it into a standalone game
Yeah the total conversion mods for Oblivion and Skyrim are great from what I gather, I've yet to try them.

The time loop city was pretty cool
Much better than just about anything else outside of Blackreach
And even then, Blackreach was woefully underused
You play it for the vibes
Terry Pratchett was involved with a mod for oblivion apparently. It's a really cute story
I don't know, I don't think Oblivion's is much better.
Oblivion's story is terrible

Like, the way to do it would have been to have him stick around for a little bit and then die trying to do the thing to stop Mehrunes Dagon
Immediately dropping dead after being like "This is just like the dream I had, I know I'm doomed" is just
Very obvious he was paid by the line
Just like Liams Neessons in Fallout 3

The quest where you go into the painting is pretty nifty, but it's like 10 minutes and has no real bearing on anything
Which is a shame because, holy shit, painted worlds ala Super Mario 64 could be utilized for so much cool shit
I played Oblivion a lot but I never finished the main quest. I was too busy doing shit with the thieves and dark brotherhood.
Better off really
Idk if I can say I like the story, but I like the ending
I liked the storyline in dragonborn and all the lovecraftian shit

They re-used the ending in fallout 3 but named the giant demon Liberty Prime and put it on your team instead.
I was talking about Skyrim
ooooooooooo
