I met a Clannfear. Miniature hell dinosaur vs. level 2 elf is a bad matchup for me. It murdered the hell out of me.
TES IV: Oblivion. Am I weird for thinking this is actually a pretty good Elder Scrolls game? It seems like everyone just kinda forgot it after Skyrim came out.
TES games are such infinite time sinks and they take so long to make most players don't really need more than one at a time. People will probably forget Skyrim after the next one comes out in however many years.
I liked Oblivion. I've never actually seen an open world game like it aside from Skyrim. In like Saint's Row 3 for example yes you
can go anywhere in the city but you'll find most of the missions are locked, the game world is actually pretty small, and almost nothing can be interacted with meaningfully. Even the missions and locations are more fronts for little events, like an elaborate level select menu.
In Oblivion you can step out from the starting dungeon, walk in the complete opposite direction you're supposed to go, enter a city you've never heard off, find your way into the sewers and fight a vampire. And the game will just roll with that, like the vampire will be a level appropriate balanced encounter, and interesting stuff will happen like you'll find interesting loot or little story bits or contract vampirism. Its like the player is a first time D&D player and Oblivion is the most patient DM ever. Like he's here to give you the generic D&D experience and he came up with a plot beforehand but if you don't want to do that that's fine, he's got a lot of maps and NPC character sheets and let's just make up a new plot as we go. Oh you're abandoning that one too? No problem, like seriously I have a lot of character sheets and loot tables, I'm just happy to spend time with you.
