As long as it still feels like TES and as long as it’s not even as hard as Elden Ring (which, as I hear, is supposedly the “easiest” FromSoft game but is still too challenging), I’m open to trying it. In general, I wish they’d just give us Skyrim’s combat with some tweaks; it’s the best combat in the series, in my opinion.

I’m not saying we need the dice roll system. I just don’t want a complicated time-based system that doesn’t feel grounded.

The problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don’t like the whole timed parry system. It’s alright if it’s akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you’re given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat… Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.

I’ll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren’t long-term fans and what the series to be what it’s not.

TES combat may be plain but I’d take a grounded and easy to grasp combat system over hair-tearing frustration. There’s a reason I don’t buy soulslikes. I like to enjoy and unwind with video games, not torture myself until I ‘git gud’. Soulslike combat will utterly ruin this remake for me.

Hardly comparable. The bag wasn’t the centerpiece, it was barely even advertised in the first place… and people whined because an ancillary feature of a much larger package wasn’t the material they wanted. That seems awfully pathetic and vain to me.

That whole canvas bag thing was a load of crap. “Ouh, my bag wasn’t in the material I wanted it to be in. I’m gonna throw a tantrum and sue the company.”

I’m very excited for this project, but what concerns me are the lack of color in those screenshots and the rumor that it’s gonna have soulslike combat. I do not want soulslike combat. We don’t need soulslike combat in every freaking game.

You really do, you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, you don’t have to be angry at God. Just let go.

Delusion isn’t a good look!

What reversal? It’s still in play. The idea is to use them to force other nations to play fair with us.

In keeping with another post where I ended my arguments here, I won’t debate the point any further but guys: this post is how you conduct a discussion like a mature adult. Learn from it.

True. Another part of the problem is that a lot of people don’t find any joy in seeing others happy, even if they don’t really get it. We should start being happier about others finding happiness, especially when that happiness is found in simple and wholesome things.

This is exactly why y’all lost, but that’s the last I’ll be contributing to this thread. As I’ve said, I’m not here for politics.

Bloated? How so?

I’ve been using it (and its predecessor OpenOffice) for the last decade and a half, and I haven’t looked back. It does literally everything I need it to do and then some. One of the best examples of just how good open source software can be.

This is especially true for the aspects of LibreOffice that she’s going to use most.

Well said. A lot of people just don’t get it, which is sad.

Dead broke son of a low middle class family. There’s no privilege here. I’m not here for political debates. Ultimately, I’m here for gaming (particularly of the retro variety), open source software, Linux, that kind of stuff. That being said, I am going to say this much.

Unlike other comments here, I actually do somewhat agree with what you’re saying in the sense that it’s gonna be a little harder because we don’t have those industries here at home. The problem is, if we didn’t take drastic action, we were just gonna continue on the current path. Countless properties, companies, and assets are owned by foreign companies. If we don’t put tariffs on the countries that are already tarriffing us hard, then we would just continue the cycle of economic failure.

Moreover, we’re seeing plenty of foreign countries already caving to these tariffs. Sure, you might see bigger ones like China resisting for a while, but it’s not going to last very long. They don’t have enough economic power to be completely self-sufficient, especially considering the fact that the majority of their wealth has been made on our expense. Without America buying up all the cheap crap that their corporations peddle, their economy will fall apart. What they need to realize is that if they want to be economic partners with our country, they’re going to have to pay their fair share.

Honestly, that whole concept just seems like common sense to me. If another country is going to do business with us, they should have to be conducting fair business and not taking advantage of us at every turn.

At the end of the day, much like a majority of political discourse on the Fediverse, I’m pretty certain it just boils down to a shared hatred of our current president. And honestly, I just find that very sad. It’s one thing to have an objective perspective or to at least try to have an objective perspective. That’s why, of all of these comments, yours is the one I’m replying to. But in general, the main reason I’m not replying to the others (other than the fact that I don’t want to waste time on politics) is that they are already showing their colors and I know for a fact that I could not have a proper adult discussion with them even if I tried.

Gotta love all the triggered rage replies over a simple comment. If I didn’t know I was in the Fediverse before, these replies would remove any doubt.

Just noticed insane typos in the original comment, wow. Serves me right for using voice-to-text without proofreading.

Something like sixth or seventh generation American. How dare I desire a setup where other nations exploit us less?!
