The bribery cycle thing was from Oblivion I think. In Morrowind it was just a skill check that you could spam.

[Putnam]

there was definitely bribery/intimidation in morrowind

[BlackFlyme]

Intimidate enough and they get angry enough to attack you.

I always did it to the ebony knight in Vivec's arena district. Useful for killing people with no repercussions, since they attacked you first.

Ahh, morrowind. Good times
first time i played it i accidentially sold the main quest introductionary letter so i didnt know there was a main quest and i didnt mind at all
It was more fun finding exploits and weird stuff, spelunking and going into dungeons way above my level.

The first and last time Bethesda made a decent dialog system was Morrowind.

I recall it being criticized at the time for being "wiki-speak", since you could ask anyone any topic, and provided they knew anything, usually they provided the exact same answer as 99% of the people you asked that topic.

[PTTG??]

At least it felt like a conversation instead of a phone tree....

It was very like the adventure games of yore, like Quest for Glory. Now it's just yes, yes, yes, or no.

Well remember that they can't go for select audiences before they need to go for general.

Only Demonsouls/darksouls/bloodborne is the exception to the "you actually have to learn how the game works on your own" rule...

and it did it by having such a devout hardcore audience that the general audience also thought it was cool.

I don't think it was the hardcore audience so much as the setting and unusual gameplay making it worthwhile. Also, it was marketted as a hard game from the start.

So I just found an area east-ish of the Witching Museum. In this crater was a number of hostile Children of Atom, all equipped with Gamma Guns, dealing ~40-45 rads per hits through Rad-X and Mk3 Synth Armor, as well as protected by MKVII Machinegun turrets, Nuke Mines and what I presume was a Nuke Grenade thrown by one.

Curie and level 45 rifleman-build me didn't stand a chance.

Children of Atom are beasts with those Gamma Guns of theirs.

My first encounter with them was when I stumbled on a trio of them holding out in a ruined church from a Gunners assault complete with vertibird somewhere around level 20. Initially thought I'd just stumbled on a small group of Gunners and was in the middle of looting a corpse when a Gamma blast pinged into my power armour. I thought it was plasma at first and turned to see a guy in robes rushing at me from the front door of the church blasting me with radiation while his brethren fired from the church windows at a circling vertibird and the rest of the Gunner squad.

That was a fun fight. Finished it up by shooting the nearly dead vertibird out of the sky with my submachine gun. 

[motorbitch]

haha, yeah they are bitches.
sneak sniped them one by one with a gauss gun.
power armor is your friend to reduce radiation damage.

[Krevsin]

You can't romance Nick. He's a robot skeleton.

That didn't stop that one schoolteacher.
