Hating. So much so that its not even close.

Positivity will trump negativity every time. At the end of the day the fact someone is enjoying something, and their enjoyment doesnt hurt you in any way? Yeah. Thats faaaaaaaaaar better than being a negative asshole whos sole purpose is to make people feel bad for having different opinions than you.

The haters literally only exist because they see positivity as a challenge

And thats fucking sad.

Allow me to illustrate something from the prologue so that you can understand what it is that makes it deep.

There was a ruffian German at the bar talking smack about the king, and Henry's friends didn't like that. They grab him and say let's repaint this guy's house with some of that dung that's behind it. Henry is not super into it, but agrees to join them. You go to his house and throw shit at the walls until he shows up, then there's a big brawl until the catchpole Starr's chasing you, and you all run away.

Now in a totally different quest, your father has told you to collect a debt from a man he sold things to on credit. That man is unagreeable and he decides to beat up Henry. Now, this is certainly a winnable fight, but he kicked my ass. Ok, so he basically breaks some bones and tells me to piss off.

Then it gives me a new quest to have Henry's mom patch me up. I go back home and there's some dialogue that strengthens their relationship and then I'm good as new.

I then go back to where my friends had gathered and here's where it all comes together. It gives me the option to say since I helped you, I need your help. Which then leads to him explaining he needs to collect this debt, and they all agree to help. We then walk to his house and jump him 4 on 1 and beat him into the ground.

Different quests all interacting together to achieve an end. You fail at something one way, there's always another option. That was the first thing that really opened my eyes to how special it is.


I'm gonna mark spoilers for this. If you have any interest in playing the game please go in as blind as you can and just create your own experience.

And what's great about this is this played out a bit differently for me than it did you. See I did dung painting and then because I did my friends a favour, we went and beat the shit out of the dude with the debt. Easy 4 on 1 nobody got hurt...well except for the dude who couldn't repay his debts but that's his fault now isn't it.

So I never got hurt and had that interaction with the mother. But I did get a good scolding from the father...and let me tell you the writing in this game is so fucking good, the acting and even down to the character models and mannerisms...I actually felt that scolding hit me as if it were delivered by a real character. I mean I had complete control of my actions as a player and I chose a pretty shitty option (cough)...it made me want to go back and apologize. It made me want to replay it and see what I could have done different.

Hallmark of an amazing game. And of course I couldn't undo my choices...and it was too late to apologize.

There is dialogue options. Youre just throwing demands on a game you dont know anything about.


There is no dialogue options, actually. You don't get to make decisions in most conversations beyond the basics (fight, bribe, intimidate, etc).

SwayM posted...

Having a predetermined character allows them to create a richer story, tailored around that character. Which again, isnt a save the world, hero story. So youre not commander Shepard, and it doesnt matter what Shepard fills that role because its YOU and youre the most important snowflake in the universe.


Except for the fact that despite being a peasant in 1400's Bohemia, the nobles let you do what you want and everyone treats you like you are the messiah.

As I mentioned, as well, the story isn't 'rich'. Again, I'm not saying its a bad game, but people should go into with their eyes open. The story is by the numbers.


I dont think were gonna change either of our opinions here.

Introduce character creation and dialogue options, and maybe I'll play it. No point in an open world with how it currently is.

Maybe try playing the game they made. Because they dont let you create a character for very specific reasons. How many GOTY awards has the Witcher 3 won? How much character creation does that have?

Far better than running around 1400s Bohemia as a 300 pound black woman with a green Afro.

How much control do you really think youd have over it?

Youve been walking nearly your entire life? How many times you stub your toe?

How much control EXACTLY would you have on where you wanted to end up? Whos to say you get close but wouldnt accidentally teleport inside of a wall?

You get lost stargazing and your mind wanders...shit I teleported to the moon with no life support. GG

Oh and dont even get me started on dreams. Teleport to your old high school in the middle of the night cus you were dreaming about it. Literally wake up in the place youre dreaming...and probably naked too, I mean thats how I get down.

The idea that Americans will stand to overthrow their government is a fantasy that will NEVER happen.

And Im not even saying the logistics that the people will even be able to do it. But that they will actually coordinate and even try.

Its not gonna fuckin happen

Hey Bill, get yer gun. Were overthrowin the govement
Gee, well that sounds like fun but the kids have volleyball practice

You honestly think there will be anything that will unite Americans to make a change? You cant agree on literally any issue.

Holding on to fantasies.

Morrowind was a great game for the time and has a lot of depth to it that is sorely missed in todays market

But it does not play well my dude

No matter how many mods you try to pump into it the janky ass combat never gets any better. Characters have a lot of depth yet are completely lifeless, they just stand there to dispense dialogue or die. It has the most interesting world, and geography of any ES game yet but nothing really happens.

KCD is what the Morrowind team would make with todays technology, I think.

Fun fact, the morrowind xpac for ESO is so faithful to the original that it's worth playing just as a single player experience if you can get it on sale.


Ohh youre talking about Elder Scrolls Online?

I thought you were talking about Oblivion. Shit I was like I thought Skyrim was the one with a Morrowind expansion

Yes. As RPGs go theres few that worldbuild like MW.

I just cant play it by todays standards. I have to lean on my imagination to get immersed in the game and make up for where the gameplay/technology lacks.

Ive put many hours into it and enjoyed it and wouldnt turn anyone against playing it but for my money Id rather just play something that has the depth but also the technology to realize the world, characters, and gameplay to their fullest.

Save system is a little silly. Last night I kept the game running because I didnt know how soon I would be able to save, didnt want to waste an item and also dont want to lose any progress.

But also...I kind of really like it in a weird way too

I like how theres more accountably in your actions and it really affects your play style. Im terrible for just reloading saves if I mess up in any way. I could put those restrictions on myself arbitrarily...but my actions still dont feel all that weighty because its all manufactured in my head.

Holy shit

Its a little buggy but nothing that I found that even remotely interrupted my experience.

Dude this is a game that makes you rethink how you play video games. You ever try to immerse yourself in a game and get burnt out because the AI or the systems are just stilted in a way that makes you feel as if you dont have any affect on the world?

KCD is a game that immerses you in ways Ive never seen in a game. Not just because of how good the graphics are, not just because the story is super rich and engaging. But also because the attention to detail and how it rewards you as a player for paying attention.

In most games theres a divide between gameplay, world and story, theres an abitrary line that you end up rubbing against when your character can do x and y in gameplay and suddenly is useless in a cutscene. Or vice versa, suddenly your character is doing all these things you would never be able to do yourself.

I dont know if I could ever go back to an Elder Scrolls game, this one has ruined my expectations.
