Elder Scrolls is overrated garbage, let's be honest here. All the hype is about the lore and the lore is a mess and for people who actually don't read fantasy neither philosophy

>>6762
It's a mess since Oblivion because Kirkbride left.
Just like any creative though in any of Bethesdas employees have left their brains a long time ago.

>>6763
Oblivion was good.

>>6762
>>6763
>>6773
Can Elder Scrolls or Fallout really be overrated when there is no competition? I can't think of another series that has the same feeling.

>>6779
Skyrim and Fallout 4 lack that feeling.

>>6792
I'm not debating individual entries I'm talking broadly about Bethesda games. Skyrim was a phenomenon and yet in the decade since only one company tried making their own open-world first-person RPG (CDPR). Bethesda deserves to be trashed but the question really is why haven't other developers stepped up to the plate

>>6793
Well Oblivion had a shitty clone that I played but barely remember other than it having a race of nigger japs (lol). Morrowind had Gothic which I never played but people claim is good. Then Skyrim came out in 2011 when game developers stopped trying.

>>6794
If you mean Nehrim then that was a mod for Oblivion, and Gothic is third person. See what I mean? Bethesda is the only game in town

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic?

>>6796
Dark Messiah is linear, same with Deus Ex. They are both excellent but don't have the feeling of exploring a huge world and being able to go off in any direction. I don't say this to praise on Bethesda, it's just a fact and it's why they can keep selling their old games over and over.

>>6795
lol no, Nehrim was actually good and had no chiggers. This game nailed the Oblivion aesthetic but sucked in every other aspect. My best memory of it was looking out across a river and seeing large reptiles creatures roaming around.

>>6911
Elon was in Fallout 4?

>>6912
he's from a lore-friendly Creation Club mod

Bethesda fanboy tried to kill Dup after ex-president and Fallout New Vegas fan said "They should fire Emil and Todd, they can't make good games."

You will kill these people and you will be happy then

>>8458
Crooks was a Fallout fan?

Imagine if you will ever act against online trolling and you will be happy?

I really want trolling gone in the aftermath of a few threads. Mods here had said these trolls are persistent in hurtful/abusive comments and keep evading bans. This is why I want to impose a rule on this board, if any. Please refer to Global Rules before posting here.

So, what is it?
Imagine you're watching a YouTube video when you notice that people have posted nasty comments to try to start an argument - this is an example of online trolling. An online troll is a person who tries to start arguments by posting mean or controversial content online.

Why do people do it?
There has been little research to date on the causes, motivations and effects of trolling. There have been some high-profile cases of trolling targeted towards celebrities in the media but it's important to remember that it can happen to anyone. Research has found that the common motivations behind online trolling can be categorised into 'boredom, attention seeking and revenge'. (Scachaf & Noriko, 2010)

‍Is it illegal?
Online trolling is a type of cyberbullying behaviour; there are several different laws that make acts of trolling illegal:

The Malicious Communications Act (1988) states it is illegal to cause distress or harm to another through electronic communication.

The Prevention from Harassment Act (1997) states that it is a criminal offense to harass others online.

The Communications Act (2003) states that it is criminal to send, via any electronic communication, a message which is deemed grossly offensive or menacing.
‍
The impact of Cyberbullying Behaviour
In the BBC's 'Odd One Out' documentary (2019), Jesy Nelson of Little Mix talks to The Diana Award about her experience of cyberbullying behaviour and the affect this had on her mental health.

"The words people use and whether they chose to use them positively or negatively have a permanency and they stick with us" - Jesy Nelson

Top tips if you experience online trolling
1- Screenshot.
Screenshot evidence of bullying behaviour so you can show a teacher, parent/carer or other responsible adult what is happening. However, never screenshot inappropriate/illicit photos because it's a criminal offense to have inappropriate pictures of someone under the age of 18 on any device.
2- Report, then block.
Once you have saved the evidence, report the post. Most social media apps have a way to report a photo, video, post, status, etc. They will sometimes ask you to explain why you are reporting the content and, most of the time, it is completely anonymous to report someone. Then, we recommend blocking them to avoid further online communication.
3- Tell someone.
Cyberbullying behaviour can make you feel powerless and isolated. Let someone know what has happened and talk it through with them. A problem shared is a problem halved. This can be a friend, family or teacher. If you fear someone is experiencing cyberbullying behaviour, ask them if they are ok and if they want to talk about it. Never forced them to but let them know you will always be there for them.

4- Do not reply.
The motivations behind cyberbullying behaviour can be boredom and seeking attention (Scachaf & Noriko, 2010). Therefore, do not give them the attention they are craving, ignore the comment and do not reply. If you engage with the person exhibiting the bullying behaviour, it could get worse and you could say something in the heat of the moment you later regret.

Top tips if you see trolling online:
1- Be an Upstander.
Never laugh along or encourage online trolling. An upstander is someone who takes action when they see that something is not right. If you see trolling happen online, you do not have to confront the individual - instead, you can make a responsible adult aware or report the content they are sharing. If you feel safe to do so, you can ask them why they posted the hurtful content and ask them to take it down.
2- Understand the impact.
Ask the person who is trolling online if they understand the impact trolling can have. You can direct them to watch Jessy Nelson's documentary on her own experience - this may give them a better insight into the real impact of trolling.

3- Enlist help from others.
Enlist the help of moderators on social media. If you do not feel comfortable confronting someone about their trolling directly, report their comments/posts on that social media platform. Moderators have the power to remove comments that violate their terms and conditions - for example, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram all have this option.

4- Report the post/comment/photo.
Report the online trolling to the social media or gaming site. This means that the platform or gaming site can ban them from the site and stop them making further comments.

Toddslop and Bugthesta drones are being really btfo'd in recent days

>recent days
They've been getting BTFO for a while. When was the last time bethesda made a good game? Oblivion? And they've never made a good Fallout. Sure scrodim was popular among the mindless nigger cattle, but that had nothing to do with the game's quality.

>>8627

They've been getting reality check after reality check since 2015

The problem with Bethesda and Bioware is they still think they are masters of game dev. Andromeda and Starfield both came out unfinished garbage, both projects spent years tinkering with randomized planet generation for no reward. They are trying to do shit that is 20 years away, meanwhile they can't even reach the standard CDPR set nearly a decade ago. They are trying to fly before they can crawl

>>8633
No, the problem with them is that everyone person with any inkling of talent or skillWhite and Asian men left or was fired years ago and was replaced by diversity hires who's degrees are in gender studies or something equally as useless.
>the standard CDPR set nearly a decade ago
Was that the game where they had Geralt telling a man in a dress he was valid and anyone that couldn't accept him as a strong wymin was an alt-right nazi bigot?

>>88
Yeah eating dicks

Bethesda fanboys are acting like Nintodllers, they get really fucking defensive if anyone dares to have any small criticism about Todd and his shitty games.

>>8672
Xbots don't eat dicks. They swallow them whole.

>>88
Oh no no no no

Look at these credits

Microsoft is doing money laundering right before our eyes with a new type of Hollywood accounting where hundreds of studios all over the world will spend millions buying xbox game development access/devkits and tooling while renting cloud compute on top of Microsoft getting tax shelter credits and free labor thanks to government subsidies for funding media production.

Is it any wonder why in the last 10 years the number of people working on major games has seen a tenfold increase? Or why thousands are fired in batches every year?

>>8811
Who are you quoting?

New DLC is out

I will be buying multiple copies only to make Bethesda haters seethe

>>9193
Soon their pajeet and soy fanboys will be buying the game again and again to give a good review like they already did with the base game.
Honestly bethesda fanboys are as mantally ill as nintoddlers

>>9193
>shartted space
This game is fascinating in a way. It's so bad even bethesda's modding community gave up like a month in and those retarded troons have been desperately trying to polish the turd that is skyrim for more then a decade now.

>>9200
<what if we just made a shitty game good and did all the work for the devs
<hell lets give any money we could make to the devs
Why are todays people so fucking dumb? I get its propaganda but it reminds me of donating to a streamer, what the fuck do these people do? They play fucking video games and record it, why is that, why the fuck should that be a job? I hate the modern internet and what it has become. Thanks a lot to classical pioneers of e-begging like reviewtechUSA and others for helping create a pathway to the biggest faggotry in all of history.

>>9201
>Why are todays people so fucking dumb?
Generations of the electric jew slowly decreasing attentions spans and almost complete lack of any form of natural selection.

Bethesda fanboys are mentally ill as fuck, they are really fucking defensive about anything shitted by their fav game company.
The only thing other than they and the mods still giving Bethesda any relevance are Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, because Todd and Emil can't create anything good.

Bugtheda soybros????

>>9216
>>9200
I'm generally in favor of new IP over rehashing the same old shit, but they really should've just made a real elder scrolls 6 instead of starfield
starfield and fallout 76 have totally tanked consumer faith in bethesda studios, which was already turning rocky after the initial skyrim honeymoon ended
of course, we know why they didn't ever make ES6

>>9231
As someone who used to hang out with a bunch of Elder Scrolls lore fags who lived to discuss TES is particularly funny how they've been progressing through cope and the realization that they have spent too much of their lives investing in studying something that is practically dead.
ESO used to be hated, especially by these lorefags, but for the last four years they've been wallowing in this crap because Bethesda is too incompetent to give them anything else.
If Bethesda were at least as smart as GW they would be shitting out book after book in the TES universe.

>>9232
Guild wars has books?

>>9233
Honestly the last time I saw anyone talking about Guild Wars was back in 2010

Is so fucking over, Crapthesda sisters…

Todd lost
Trump won

>>9647
Turd Howard won't be releasing the same fucking game for the Switch 2 because of the chuds.

>>10071
Are you also a manlet like Todd?
