So what do you guys think? These are all things some people seem to want in the next game, some of us however such as Lost, Reason and myself would rather keep playing Oblivion.


Would people really play a game with all of this? This is the most realistic game I can think of btw, yes all of the above is realism, the realism people expect in a FANTASY BASED RPG.



Discuss.

Except that the whole 'optional features' lark everyone seems to be throwing around is a just an excuse by people who want shit features like the above to not have to justify why Bethesda should actually spend time to make them.

Also Sky, lol. gg dude.

you forgot if you start off in a prison you will get chlaustrophobia and die

I state that some people would rather play Oblivion, even though we maybe played Oblivion first, then tried Morrowind and prefer Morrowind, which does have more realism than Oblivion. The realism I'm talking about is that if you're lacking in Skills, you really suck at what you're attempting to do and need practice. Whereas if you lack Skills in Oblivion you can just continue because there's a 100% success rate if you're able to use the controls properly.

In Morrowind there's a chance to completely *bleep* up when using a Skill, this happens almost all the time when you've little to no Skill at something, it still happens to Masters, but at a much lower rate.


The Metagame in Morrowind would still require investment in certain Skills and the gaining of several levels. The Metagame in Oblivion is run/Fast Travel to all the cities, get into Arcane University, create Drain Life 100 for 1 Second on Touch Spell and complete everything on Level 1. Use poisons to kill everything before getting that spell, except the zombies, use Erthor or another essential follower for that, there's 0% chance they'll hit you because you can avoid them by running in circles.



Another realistic part of Morrowind was Fatigue Drain, whenever you ran, your Fatigue would drain, your Fatigue affected you by effectively giving your character double vision and made it hard to concentrate when it ran low.

quote Reason

I'm not happy with the first post Sky. Some of those suggestions aren't realistic enough.

This made me smile.

Realism suits some games. (none of which I play, except maybe skate). I play games like TES for the escapism. It's meant to be fantastic and outrageous. If I want realism I'll turn my console off and go outside. Stick the morrowind skill system into a shiny new game engine and we're golden imo.

I think realism + TES = stupid.

For example if you are vampire,
realistically, you can't die.

"realism in a RPG"? This is where Fable went wrong...well to be honest it all went wrong when Peter Molyenanananananananaaface stood up and shouted "I have a dream!"

This is why Beth Soft pretty much stay top of the single-player RPG pile.

Don't get me wrong "some" realism doesn't hurt...like for example: Low skill levels = bad with whatever that skill does, whereas training and using it will make you better within that skill, such as using a sword etc.

Sounds like the worst possible game. A game where you're constantly stumbling around and falling over, dying of minor wounds, and eating lest you starve to death.
This isn't even realistic. It's the exact opposite. If you don't brush your teeth, you die? That's never going to happen. The poster has gotten into his head, somehow, that realism means over-the-top difficulty and a lack of all things fun. This is simply not true.

In fact, I move for this thread to be closed and deleted. It's senseless idiocy, and it's a complete joke. Realism is a good idea, this thread is not.
