it just seems laughably arbitrary to put a completely unnecessary "feature" into a game that brings everything to a screeching halt when it otherwise doesn't need to go through noticeable loading times

>>8389 In most games they never bothered me that much but specifically in Todd's games they were pure hell. I highly doubt that anyone has fond memories of playing Oblivion on Xbox 360 at 10fps with long ass loading screens every 5 minutes. Heard that Morrowind was even worse but neither me nor any of my bros could afford an OG Xbox tbh

>>8395 I lik watching these interviews with old vidya devs. You can tell that they had genuine passion. It wasn't just a commercial product, they were just a bunch of nerds making some cool shit for other nerds to enjoy. Different to nowadays where games are made by clueless suits with zero connection to the player base who just mindlessly follow trends and mass appeal so that nothing new ever gets tried. I'm glad we have the TR devs carrying the torch nowadays because there's no way Bethesda will ever be allowed to do anything interesting again (and I doubt they'd even be capable of it anymore anyway tbh).

Reminds me of playing Oblivion on a potato. My PC was so shit that I downloaded a mod called "Oldblivion" (I think) which let you turn the graphics down even further than the lowest settings and still only got like 15-20fps at most. Eventually I just caved and bought the console version.

Just started a new playthrough on OpenMW and have to say it has some really nice unique mods now with the new lua scripting system. I particularly like this one
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/55293 which lets NPCs heal and adds some much-needed difficulty to the game. It's not quite at the same level as MWSE yet, but personally I prefer a more vanilla-esque experience anyway. Thought it's worth mentioning since we seem to have a lot of linuxfags here now

>>8452 nah thats just part of it
the big one is gonna have the actual hlaalu capital of narsis and fill out their questlines. narsis is supposed to be lik an old ebonheart kinda deal, where its absolutely fucking enormous.
>>8453 PROTIP:
you only need one item with spell absorb. it acts like an ability, not as a cast-when-held spell, so itll never break. you just need empty spell points to be filled up and itll always absorb
its also a p common enchanted drop, so no need to go out of your way to enchant it. you almost always eventually end up with at least one "cloth amulet of magicka" or some such. and thats all you rly need
you wanna know a gud one to enchant?
find a wand
wands are among the best cast-on-use spell catalysts for their price and weight , then enchant it with cast-on-use shalidors mirror. if you have that and spell absorb going on at the same time, daedra lords/seducers and ancient vamps go from potentially OHKOing you, to self btfoening themselves

>>8476 Oh right, I'm doing a Hlaalu playthrough myself rn so prolly should have waited too lol. But honestly there's already enough content that you'd never be able to touch all of it in one playthrough anyway, I'm lik level 15 and only just did the dwemer puzzle box quest, next time might get a slower leveling mod or make a separate character just for mainland content.

>>7675 Decided to look this project up again and surprisingly it's actually making some progress. Apparently it's mostly complete programming-wise and it's mostly just assets that need to be done now. Tho the dev decided to hardcode a bunch of subjective changes including:
>survival mechanics >armor skills (like in the later games) >no fast travel (instead replaced by a Morrowind-style system) >no maps in towns or dungeons Because of this the project lost a lot of popularity since most people just wanted vanilla Daggerfall but with the Tamriel map and not some hardcore autism mod. So now the project has been split into 2 different versions:
>ProjectN (a full DFU fork with the full sized Tamriel map and all the changes) >MiniProjectN (a mod for regular DFU that just adds in a scaled-down version of the Tamriel map and makes no other changes) Apparently he's planning an initial demo release in the next few weeks/months in order to garner some interest and recruit some more people to make assets, so we'll see how it goes I guess.

>>8514 hot take:
DF has such a cool mod scene
ive never seen a mod scene thats this active without it just being a bunch of coomer mods, or lik russian machine translation spam. hell, even the coomer mods like red lantern have some decent quests.
its got such a glut of gud quest mods. it takes DF from the charming little overambitious oddity that it was, to lik arguably one of the better fantasy RPG/sims around. certainly the best free one
but i already had a drug mod that had it so you could get in twouble for selling/holding drugs, so piracy would be the next logical thing to add to it
problem is: no rivers. in DFUs engine, water can only spawn at sealevel. thats why all lakes you do see, lik the ones on betony are these sheer cliff/fingerlake lookin thangs
also some of the """ports""" are miles inland
if no valid port exists, it defaults to the capital .
>>8532 is it supposed to be set in late 3rd era?
i figured it was a TC mod, not like a TR thing
▶ Anonymous 04/02/25 (Wed) 17:22:28 No. 8535
>>8534 It's part of the Project Tamriel series along with the Skyrim one, which is more or less the same thing as TR. They use the same Tamriel_Data assets and follow the same philosophy of sticking almost entirely to pre-Oblivion lore. I think it's mostly the same devs too. To get there you just get a boat from Old Ebonheart. Tbh it's one problem with all these landmass mods that you get OP way too quick (which was already bad enough in vanilla Morrowind) but it's nice to have all the new content. I'm like 30 hours in and have still barely touched Vvardenfell , it's crazy.
▶ Anonymous 04/02/25 (Wed) 23:32:46 No. 8540
>>8534 Yeah the Daggerfall mods that I've tried feel very natural, like they're filling in the blanks and turning the game into what it could've been if it wasn't limited by the fact that it was made by like 5 dudes with basically no budget in the 90s.

Not like I'll buy/play it, Morrowind/Daggerfall fills the RPG niche and Skyrim fills the hack'n'slash niche. This is either just upscaled Oblivion or it's Oblivion built into the Skyrim engine, and neither one particularly appeals to me. Maybe the latter if and only if we get some Fallout 3->New Vegas levels of improvements.

>>8599 iirc the original leak said they were using Unreal engine. Wouldn't surprise me if there's truth to it since a lot of companies will test the water with a new engine by making a remake before developing anything new. Also Todd has said in the past that he doesn't like remakes, tho who knows how much influence he still has in the company after the Microsoft buyout.
I don't really know who it's supposed to appeal to. For OG Oblivion fans the whole appeal is the jank and nostalgia, and the hardcore fans mostly hate anything past Morrowind. Even skybabbies would probably hesitate to play anything outside of their ultra-specific modded setup with 6 gorillion coomer and le funny shrek mods installed.
