I fully expect to be killed for my views someday. At the hands of oppressors, or just people who straight up disagree. There were contingencies during the Cold War to round up (and ostensibly execute-through-starving) people like me in case of a nuclear event, so I don't doubt the current government would do the same. Especially since I've donated to the CND.

Yeah. The government have a worrying habit for putting them in their gunsights. The article doesn't mention it, but knocking in CND marches was a typical action of the police force in the eighties. No idea if that bias holds up in an ostensibly more accepting age, but hey, it means I'm bundled in with "dangerous liberal radicals", even though I'd rather call myself a "dangerous cunt".

[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;52986031]Morrowind's combat sucks.[/QUOTE]
This is an [I]incredibly[/I] popular opinion. I don't think I've ever seen anyone say they enjoy it so much as just tolerate it.
It's like FO4's dialogue system. At best it adds nothing to the game, at worst it detracts from it.
[QUOTE=bloboo;52986712]Morrowind has a good combat system. Movement is your skill, hitting somebody is your characters skill, forcing you to play your character how he's built IE using spells if you're a mage, and using a stick if you're a fighter. You can't just pick up a battle axe and be about as good as the next guy. It forces you to play a role in a role playing game.[/QUOTE]
Trouble is a lot of people will never get to a point where they can appreciate or even tolerate the combat system because Morrowind is covered in teeth when you're trying to get in to it.
It's one of those games where I feel like a lot of people are extremely familiar with the first hour because they boot it up thinking they'll have some nostalgic times or they'll be playing one of the best RPGs ever like people have said and what they're greeted with is two very obnoxious things:
1.You walk so sssssssssssssssssslllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooo[I]oooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww[/I]
2.*miss* *miss* *miss* *miss* *miss* *miss*
I actually want to get in to Morrowind and I have apparently racked up 49 hours among several different attempts while also having barely gotten past the surface. There's this one mod that claims to give 100 percent hit chance but in a smart way that works Oblivion style (more skill in weapon = more damage, plus blocking mechanics) to keep it balanced. One part of me feels worried that I might fuck up the game balance and make it too easy but on the other hand I seriously wonder if I'll ever be able to get past the game's shitty surface if I don't use something like that.
[QUOTE=Gimme20dollaz;52986031]Morrowind's combat sucks.[/QUOTE]
I still think Morrowind is the best Elder Scrolls game and I agree with this. I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't.
I think Morrowind is the best TES game to the point where it is the [I]only[/I] good TES game and even I don't think the combat system is particularly great. It relies a bit too much on numbers, and while its rather static and uninvolving nature could be forgiven for the time, it asks a lot of the player in terms of game knowledge and stuff.
Rolling a bad, or even a mediocre character in Morrowind, is gimping yourself [I]severely[/I]. It basically makes the early game a purgatory of trying to beat off bandits and wildlife with a whiffle bat. On the flip side, rolling an optimal character [URL="https://morrowind.jpbetley.com/?sex=male&race=redguard&birthsign=Warrior&specialization=combat&favored=strength&favored=endurance&major=long-blade&major=block&major=heavy-armor&major=alteration&major=alchemy&minor=acrobatics&minor=athletics&minor=armorer&minor=mercantile&minor=restoration"](like this one)[/URL] will make the early game a trivial walk in the park, and considering the difficulty curve of these RPGs where the early-midgame is the hardest part, will basically skip most of the early legwork for you. Even though you can make any sort of build you want, and a skilled and savvy player can make even joke builds viable, the way Morrowind can actually make a player make a suboptimal character, even if they are trying not to, is something that's a bit difficult to get used to after playing more modern RPGs where build diversity is either much lower (meaning a player's progress will never be stopped by poor build choices) or the game has a way to reset your stats.
Morrowind's strengths are very much in other areas, the combat is there because it has to be, but the developers chose to expand the game in other areas, and it works for the kind of game Morrowind is. I think the later games went wrong with emphasising combat more, seemingly at the expense of other things, and the combat would [I]still[/I] not be very good. I'd rather Morrowind's poor combat and great world-building than Skyrim's mediocre combat and mediocre world-building.

Not really. I know how to easily deal with both of these things. The first can be fixed a variety of ways, my favourite is; pick Breton, and then leave Seyda Neen to the left to acquire the Boots of Blinding Speed, with your innate magicka resistance preventing you from being completely blinded , and the second is just a symptom of a poor character build or attempting to fight with an empty fatigue bar.

So basically "if it's your first time playing go fuck yourself."
In which case, yes really.

Not to harp on you too much but that's kind of ridiculous. Your solution to the problem of 'the character moves too damn slow' is 'throw the entire character creation system in the trash, pick one specific race, and then go find this enchanted item you didn't know existed'.
Force Awakens is my favorite Star Wars. (Haven't seen Last Jedi yet though.)
You know I really don't know what the appeal of Hbomberguy is, whenever he's doing those response videos he's always with this smug and mocking attitude that I find it just unbearable, sometimes this also happens outside of his response videos.
I dont even find his Fallout 3 video that interesting, its stuff Fallout fans have been saying for a long while already. His video on Dark Souls 2 had that comment towards Matthemathosis that was just uncalled for, like yeah it was his over the top persona, but for firstcomers it doesnt sound like that.
It doesn't help he acts like a pretentious cunt on twitter and sometimes he can say some really weird shit on his discord server that have made some people feel uneasy. Some of his past stuff (pre-2013) can also be seen quite weird too.
His videos and the way he talks on them are also uncannily similar to Fitzthistlewits's videos.

[quote]The first can be fixed a variety of ways[/quote]
It is [I]a[/I] way that you can deal with the slow movement speed at the beginning. Other, more mundane ways include; building for the speed attribute (Argonian is especially good for this), picking the Steed birthsign, keeping a low amount of carried weight, majoring in the movement skills, bunnyhopping/running everywhere and keeping a consistent amount of restore fatigue potions (which is easy to do as an alchemy build because the ingredients for such things are incredibly common), and even mage builds majoring in Alteration (especially Altmer/Breton) can start casting Tinur's Hoptoad as soon as they get to the first major settlement.
Additionally, the enchanted boots trick can be done with an Orc as well (because they have an innate magicka resistance, which is the reason it works at all), as well as any other character build that makes use of the Resist Magicka effect in some way (with spells, potions, enchantments, or even the Cuirass of Saviour's Hide). I just prefer to pick Breton because they have the strongest innate magicka resistance and are also my favourite race anyway.
