Why does none of this sound like it'd make a game bad, unless you're hoping your fantasy RPG will own the libs?

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Because it sounds like they'd be ditching everything previous fans love about the universe and lore to hit a bunch of buzzwords. There is insane shit from older games that I'm sure will never see the light of day (unless a modder gets inspired) because Bethesda wants to sanitize and mass-marketize the world.

Will Elsweyr explore at all the fact there are effectively different species of Khajiit tied to under what combination of the phases of the dual moons the baby is born? Or will Bethesda just throw some big, gruff, talking tigers and some small, funny, talking house cats around and call it a day after putting in exactly one (1) version of each of those that inverts that mold?

Will the Mane be like this: https://en.m.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Mane ? Or will he just be a Khajiit in LaCroix-level flavorings of Middle-Eastern adjacent clothing?

You are why they do these things to games.

Tear out the guts, replace them with industry standard parts and the most recent fad.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

None of those things individually have any impact on the game. And none of them are likely to ever make it into a game by a company like Bethesda. The fact that you're nitpicking these kinds of things, with no real basis, really makes you wonder the actual reasoning behind your post.

Rewriting things like dwemer would have no impact.

Right.

Fuck you.
