as a person with adhd stalker 2 was the best in the entire series without a story with cutscene my brain get really bored

[jolly wing]

It sas: "Welcome to the most complete and immersive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. experience yet. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly is a free, stand-alone mod built on the 64-bit X-Ray engine, reinvigorated and enhanced to deliver the definitive survival sandbox in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone." Now shot it!

[smoky hawk]

to play anomaly you must own
COP
OR
COP
I dont know man

[bold steppe]

Requieres you own COP Enchanced Edition

[crystal bison]

(the greatest survival game you'll never play)
(the not standalone mod that doesn't fake survival)
(it's not free)

[lofty dew]

no offense but that is completely unrelated you could have just said stalker 2 is the best in the series

[smoky hawk]

its the most popular mod
I have answered your question
anything else?

ANOMALY
ANOMALY IS REAAAL

[gentle citrus]

Stupid thing to do

you gotta buy CoP

You can play GAMMA for free, which is built on top of ANOMALY

no, you gotta buy COP

You need to own the games thought to only play anomaly

I kind of agree

Will we be getting an update in the next few months? I’m kind of out of the loop with updates and I’m just curious

Stalker 2 is a 2/10 game

[versed reef]

How is it that everyone likes BF6 beta and it's basically just call of duty

[stuck seal]

Why does he need Chinese boyfriend skin???

[near swallow]

A-Life definitely isn't there, not really anyway. But as an isolated experience, I like it. If you spend all your time going "Oh well CoP had this and and and" then you're gonna have a bad time regardless of how good the game actually is. It's on Gamepass, it's worth a crack at the very least.

[storm flame]

First of all, GSC does not deserve the respect of the fans of the saga, they are not even the same ones who did it, and if turning a community mod into something that requires paying is to worry, but it still eats the ass of the greats that you will not fare very well

[fathom venture]

Bro i just picked the bus to go to school and now ts fr happens ? Like cmon man 😭😭

[wooden walrus]

they are actually removing all life from stalker 2

[dry vault]

The first Call of duty came out after battlefield

[lofty cloud]

A-Life would require a complete rework of AI from scratch, it would never be featured in the sequel.

[versed reef]

ok?

[smoky hawk]

COP was the worst Alife of all the games, and it still doesnt reach the lowest points of S2 since it still has persistent AI Nodes

[wooden walrus]

(no but really yes stalker 2 has a-life up to about 1km in offline and about 100m online)

[smoky hawk]

if A-Life in S2 DOESNT even have the most basic ALIFE features of, persistant AI, then it deserves to be set on fire

[mellow sphinx]

How can GSC be so based

Anomaly was already free and still is

But they decided to not make it standalone

Yeah week 1 and 2 for the beta did feel black ops 6ish in terms of movement - but they’re toning it down thank god

i cant be asked to scroll up maybe someone already answered this, but what do i do if i already own CoP on steam and i wanna download the gog installer for the game?

i just shell out another $17 for the game or what?

[wooden walrus]

yes

[half seal]

Anomaly on Gog? yeah this is great news!
I buy stalker CoP on gog just to play Anomaly. Take my money GSC Gameworld I have no use for it anyway!!

[fathom venture]

Yes

[harsh jungle]

you can simply download anomaly off of moddb

That's piracy

[golden steppe]

so its not like Fallout London? great news, idc then

[proper urchin]

anomaly existed WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before the GSC endorsement

[golden steppe]

i was afraid they'd drop the mod development and push exclusively to GoG

[smoky hawk]

BUY THE GAME

WOMP WOMP

[proper urchin]

so it is not.

[golden steppe]

I HAVE THE GAME

[oak junco]

Anomaly has always been free bro

[fathom venture]

🤓🤓

[oak junco]

How do people not know you can get this stuff of of moddb for free

[wooden walrus]

imagine downloading the free standalone from moddb

[smoky hawk]

BUY IT AGAIN, NOT ENUFF, I HAVE &^ copies of the game in my house

[proper urchin]

🙄

[golden steppe]

no i mean if they got up on GoG i was afraid they'd drop moddb entirely

[oak junco]

Naw they wouldn't plus people would juat keep sharing it

[golden steppe]

I STILL HAVE THE PHYSICAL DISCS LAYING AROUND SOMEWHERE

[fathom venture]

Chat, why's Anomaly on 13 USD on GOG ?

[smoky hawk]

I hope they do, that would be really funny

[fathom venture]

Wait, so if Anonaly is canon now, then that means that you can play Anonaly before the trilogy and still be a true stalker fan, meaning we'll have a lot of free stalkers

[wooden walrus]

that's what I've been saying all along

they should just pull out the trilogy from stores really, like what's the point now

[oak junco]

That means sin and unisg are canon now

I remember running back home from college just to sit in front of my computer and watch stalker crash for 5 hours straight 😭 😭 brings me back

[fathom venture]

They're worth to understand many things from Stalker 2

[wooden walrus]

why don't they make games like that anymore

[oak junco]

Fr

[wooden walrus]

you don't need to just play anomaly dude

[near swallow]

I remember playing CoC on my old ass hand-me-down laptop. it barely worked but boy did i love it

[fathom venture]

True

[wooden walrus]

like why would you play basically an inferior version

[oak junco]

Call of the zone is prob the the peak freeplay mod besides maybe teamlite or legendary return

[fathom venture]

Their assets are useful for 3D renders and animations

[wooden walrus]

okay they can live

[fathom venture]

OG and EE can live for 3D

[dry vault]

NPCs actually fight, loot, and take over territory now (which it should of had at launch) so it’s getting pretty close to clear sky

[stuck seal]

Ew clear sky (joking)

[dry vault]

Everyone seems to forget that GSC was making this game while their country was getting invaded so Its understandable why some content wasn’t ready day 1

[graceful dirge]

AK-74 tried & true

[forest mirage]

Ew cop

[sterile obsidian]

The devs have moved long before the war iirc

[dull crag]

I don't think ive found this!

[forest mirage]

Nobody complained about it rn

[dry vault]

They relocated mid-way through development and their original studio was shelled

[stuck seal]

Which one

[dull crag]

Honestly can use it the whole game

[dry vault]

Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of computer and motion capture equipment gone

[stuck seal]

That would be an interesting challenge

[dull crag]

It was rough when it first came out

[dry vault]

Of course not rn, but on day 1 the discord was outraged

[forest mirage]

I doubt that many people knew that or were interested in that. Most cared about the product not the process

[stuck seal]

It isn’t day 1 today tho?

[dry vault]

Duh

Just giving a history lesson lol

[twilit dome]

so, i can only download anomaly if i buy call of prypiat? Is there a way to proof i have the game already cuz i got it on steam....

[stuck seal]

No

[forest mirage]

Moddb is your friend

[charred nova]

So here’s the funny bit

Anomaly is free

Always has been

[twilit dome]

no shit

[charred nova]

You don’t even need to own a single stalker game to play it

[twilit dome]

.... i know that

[dry vault]

Anomaly is a standalone, it just combines the maps of the 3 games and adds on to its systems

With its own storyline as well

[cinder bluff]

Ok good people are talking about the same thing. What the heck? Why the hell do I have to own Pripyat?

[dry vault]

You do for certain mod packs

If you just want anomaly or gamma you don’t

[cinder bluff]

Not for anomaly

[dry vault]

If you wanna do escape from Pripyat or misery, etc then you need the 3 games

[cinder bluff]

Why is it that I can play EFP or Misery without the games as well

[shell flax]

In the end it was probably just a compromise behind the scenes rather then anything required

[dry vault]

If you can now it’s news to me

Used to need CoP especially for misery

[cinder bluff]

Yah it’s all based off of Anomaly.

I have 3 separate folders with 3 separate launch options so I can play which ever one I like at any given time and I don’t have any of the actual games loaded

[dry vault]

That’s a smart way of ding it

So why all the anomaly hate again? I joined into this late

[cinder bluff]

No no, no hate on anomaly

[dry vault]

Nah I was talking about everyone else earlier

[maiden meadow]

popularity basically

[cinder bluff]

Oh yah I missed that

[maiden meadow]

tbh Anomaly as a stalker mods is overrated, its just so happen to have a lot of addons

[cinder bluff]

It just gives a lot of freedom. Nothing wrong with that. No reason to under rate or over rate it.

[obtuse veldt]

Me watching general under fire

[maiden meadow]

true but the gameplay sucks, if you want a good freeplay there's Call of the Zone both the vanilla one and the Improved Weapon Pack port

[dry vault]

I honestly think STALKER was doing great before YouTubers brought anomaly into the spotlight

Everyone thinks it popped off only then

Even though thousands were already playing

[maiden meadow]

i mean its popular in the western side of the Stalker community then yes

[cinder bluff]

I will agree, gameplay does get repetitive pretty quickly.

[maiden meadow]

but on the eastern Europe side its always popular

[twilit dome]

thx, thats what i meant

[smoky hawk]

its a bad mod

[dry vault]

yeah but

Some elaboration would be nice

[smoky hawk]

its a bad mod that is derivative of a source and makes it worse, while also being crowned for years as the undeserving best and regurgitated by brainlets as the peak of modding

there are a ton of reasons to hate anomaly as it is a bad modding base, badly balanced, and outdated by itself, but coupled with everything taht has been pushed for years, it drops it to the worst it can be

[dry vault]

It’s got its perks for the folks that enjoy the kind of content in that pack - personally I prefer call of the zone still

Funnily enough they’re both made by the same creator

[still current]

Vasim... is granma next

[weary hedge]

wtf is GOG and why is anomaly being added to it

[still current]

[weary hedge]

Real

[smoky hawk]

the, nonexistent perks, yes

[stuck seal]

What even is anomaly, like I’ve seen gameplay many times before but I still don’t get what it does other than being able to roam around without a goal

[smoky hawk]

its a mod

it doesnt have a goal, its a snadbox, you need to create one of play the godawful story mode

its freeplay for a reason

[stuck seal]

Yes but what does it modify other than that?

Does it overhaul everything basically?

[smoky hawk]

yes, it changes the gameplay to be more about survival except it does so poorly

[rich hatch]

Hello, do you guys think they will also add the STALKER Anomaly to consoles ?

[weary hedge]

I don’t know. I don’t touch mods but i would have to guess it’s some cracked our version of stalker

[weary hedge]

Not anytime soon

[still current]

And it's basically call of chernobyl with engine support for 64bit systems and an integrated questline from a former addom+ few other addon packs

[stuck seal]

Poorly like overly realistic in a bad way or poorly like just low quality

[smoky hawk]

no

[smoky hawk]

poor quality, the balancing sucks and the new mechanics they implement over COC are useless and easely circumvented by normal gameplay

[stuck seal]

I did see someone criticize the mechanics for being unfun one time

[weary hedge]

So what is the point of playing if it has no story? You just spawn in and kill shi and get better loot?

[smoky hawk]

if you wanted to play freeplay vanilla just go over IWP with COTZ, or look thru one of the better freeplay offerings, Anomaly is bad to begin with and outdated asf

[smoky hawk]

its got a story, that is really bad, from an old addon + 2 proto stories that are just fetch quests with as little commentary as possible

[meager crag]

That's how a sandbox works, basically

[smoky hawk]

if you wanted a story, you wouldnt be looking at freeplay

[weary hedge]

Seems kinda weird to strip a game of one of its best qualities

[meager crag]

It's a part of RP and "the average life in the Zone"

Although they don't really do it that well imo

[weary hedge]

Oh yeah fair enough.

Isn’t anomaly free without using gog?

[meager crag]

Yeah

Did they actually slap a price on GOG?

[weary hedge]

Bruh lol

It says you just have to own cop

[smoky hawk]

people will buy the game on GOG just to circumvent MODDB and then still have to use MODDB bc Anomaly is shit and needs addons to make it slightly less shit

[meager crag]

Or just play Clear Sky

[weary hedge]

Exactly

[oak junco]

you dont tbh

whoever buys cop ee to play anomaly on gog is a retard lol its free on moddb

dont let gsc scam you out of cash

[meager crag]

Or just don't play Anomaly

[weary hedge]

That’s what I was thinking. This whole ideal seems kind of pointless😔

[meager crag]

Eh, it depends on whether you already have CoP or actually want to play the better Trilogy

[oak junco]

anomaly aint that bad but deff more fun freeplay mods out there like cotz, teamlite, legends return, stason 6.0.5

[meager crag]

Don't forget Fallout 4

Pretty decent mod

[oak junco]

fallout 4 is goated

[meager crag]

GOTY'ed

[weary hedge]

I love and hate fallout 4. After playing the others it’s like a curse

[meager crag]

Oh, absolutely

[oak junco]

i feel the same lol

[meager crag]

It's definitely not a finished game

[weary hedge]

Everything about it kind of hurts my brain😂

[meager crag]

Tactics lore gang

Fallout 3 gang otherwise

[weary hedge]

Real

I love my NCR & Enclave

[meager crag]

NCR and Lyons' BoS

[weary hedge]

That too

[meager crag]

I want to like the Minutemen and Railroad, but in-game, they both just suck

[weary hedge]

I need me some more good fallout lore

[weary hedge]

Bro exactly. They have good structure but they lack a lot of detail

[charred nova]

This trade school business

It’s pretty lit

[oak junco]

ngl im gonna do a pistol only railroad build next

[meager crag]

Yup, undercooked asf

[meager crag]

Already doing it kek

[oak junco]

you're a king fr

[weary hedge]

That’s what’s up

[oak junco]

🗣️👑

[weary hedge]

At least the DLCs make up for a good amount

[charred nova]

The guy they got to write all this stuff hasn’t written anything good in nearly 20 years

[weary hedge]

Actually? Jesus

[charred nova]

He originally wrote the dark brotherhood quests

[quaint umbra]

You rang?

[charred nova]

And then they were like wow you did a good job on that how about you write the entire main plot

[weary hedge]

Those weren’t terrible

[charred nova]

He’s dropped the ball basically ever since

[gentle citrus]

But this

[weary hedge]

That’s insane

[charred nova]

If you wonder why starfield has literally no plot

It’s because of him

[gentle citrus]

[quaint umbra]

That's like the least of Starfields issues though

[charred nova]

It would have helped a lot

[weary hedge]

Wow so he made a decent faction quest line and demolished 2 games😭

[charred nova]

Arguably more

People are taking off the nostalgia goggles and realizing other Bethesda games aren’t quite as good as we all remember

[weary hedge]

Yeah I guess it just depends on a lot of factors

[quaint umbra]

Imo Bethesda hasn't made a good game since Morrowind but that usually triggers people.

[charred nova]

The writing in Bethesda games has been on a downward trend arguably since morrowind

[charred nova]

Why it’s good to see they put Tod on the Indiana jones games

Clearly he’s much better at making that type of game

[quaint umbra]

But that was Machine Games not Bethesda

[charred nova]

He was the director

[strong onyx]

Helldivers Update
Repeat Game Crashes

🤨

[charred nova]

Todd loves Indiana jones so

Likely he pulled strings to get involved

[oak junco]

Emil is the biggest issue when it comes to writing bro is boring

[quaint umbra]

If only he loved his own studios games as much lol

[strong onyx]

It’s not his fault.

[stuck seal]

Helldivers Update

🤨

[oak junco]

Yeah it is he is the head guy

[strong onyx]

No it’s not, he told them to NOT put him in that position. They did it anyway.

[oak junco]

He also wanted to put magic into fallout 4 in a cut quest

[strong onyx]

He’s a fantastic writer, at side quests, and side content, he’s so good at fleshing out an already existing world. He’s not great at writing that existing world.

That’s what he understood and Bethesda did not.

[charred nova]

They got magic cutting knives

So maybe they got it already

[oak junco]

I wanna see bethesda do stalker 3

[quaint umbra]

[oak junco]

You can ban the man but not the idea..

[weary hedge]

I can’t argue with that. A lot of games have gone this similar direction lacking the detail and passion a game needs

[charred nova]

There is a great video about it

[weary hedge]

We’ve become so fixated on what satisfies our eyes and not our minds

[charred nova]

Basically after morrowind Bethesda fell on hard times

So they had to let go most of the original writing team

[weary hedge]

What’s it called? I’d like to watch this

[still current]

Who wants to be be banned

[karmic ice]

Is there any news/rumor if the writer of fo4 will be in future fallout games?

[still current]

With his idea

[charred nova]

I don’t remember

It was a more recent video about starfield

I’m fairly sure

[weary hedge]

Probably not but we won’t get a new fallout game for a long while’s soonest we’d get is a remaster and that’s rumored to be 3

[karmic ice]

Aha, I see. Although It would be nice if we could get the writer for New Vegas (or anyone with good story direction in general) to be in charge of fallout 5, when that day arrives.

[meager crag]

Because of that whole color theory

[weary hedge]

I’d like to see more work from obsidian. They’ve been putting out some good titles but it’s probably going to be some unreal engine slop

[karmic ice]

Agreed, UE5 is just not a good look nowadays man smh

[dry vault]

Just found out the lead writer for battlefield 6’s campaign is the same dude who wrote the plots for the original modern warfare trilogy and titanfalls

[weary hedge]

I mean they managed to make it work with oblivion but I can’t see them making a good new game with it

[meager crag]

Knowing Bethesda, no way they'd use anything other than their current outdated engine

[dry vault]

Arguably the only good cod story aside from og black ops

[meager crag]

New TES was fanmade tho

[weary hedge]

Bf6 is in good hands

[dry vault]

Creation kit is what makes elder scrolls mods possible

[weary hedge]

The trailer?

[dry vault]

At least the ones we know and love the most

Without creation kit it wouldn’t be the same

[meager crag]

The remake, no?

[dry vault]

Which remake?

[weary hedge]

Remake was made by Virtuos studios because they already had knowledge using UE5 so Bethesda had them implement everything from the OG into it

[meager crag]

Exactly

Still fanmade and UE5

[dry vault]

It’s a good UE5 game though

[meager crag]

Those exist?

[charred nova]

Yes

[meager crag]

[dry vault]

Virtuoso actually studies and works with unreal 5 to actually learn how to use it

[charred nova]

You could be battlefield though

[weary hedge]

Yeah it’s arguably just a big fan made mod but at least it isn’t under optimized and a bugfest

[charred nova]

we reject unreal and ray tracing

[dry vault]

Most game studios just port into unreal 5 without knowing how to use it properly

[meager crag]

But that's what makes a Bethesda game so iconic!

[dry vault]

That’s why so much unreal 5 slop comes out

[weary hedge]

Right? I was surprised they fixed that lmao

[dry vault]

Skyblivion is the actual fan made mod

[charred nova]

Like bro

Bf6 runs better than bf2042

Impossible

[meager crag]

Apparently not

[charred nova]

How could someone make a game run better than what came before

You’re suppose to make it run worse

[weary hedge]

The fact this has become the norm is insane

[meager crag]

Real

[karmic ice]

Yup

[charred nova]

I mean bro the beta for the game was less buggy than bf2042 in its final form

[weary hedge]

For real. It’s pitiful. I don’t understand why they even released 2042. Nobody wanted that

Every hyper realistic shooter we’ve gotten has died in less than a few months

[charred nova]

I mean I’m just glad they are willing to learn

[dry vault]

It’s because they axed nearly everyone who made 2042

They were part of the massive EA layoffs

[charred nova]

Hardly a surprise though

Even though I know it’s not their fault

People way above them told them to make the game the way it is

[dry vault]

Not even them tbh, it was the investors

They dictate how games will be nowadays

[fresh echo]

Jack where's My eridium at

[dry vault]

I’d argue this is true in every aspect except the user interface

That slop was made by an intern it had to be

[charred nova]

Idk

[charred nova]

True

I’ve been playing it again for the bf6 skins

[weary hedge]

Thank fk. EA has needed this for a long time

[charred nova]

Slogging through is so painful

The game is just not good

But I want them skins

[charred nova]

Ea has remembered you need to make the product the customer wants to buy

[dry vault]

Can you get bf6 stuff by playing 2042?

[charred nova]

Yes

[weary hedge]

Make games be treated like art again. I’m sick of this market strategy slop

[charred nova]

They released the road to bf6 free battle pass

[frigid hill]

peanutdrumstick has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dry vault]

What a nightmare

[charred nova]

And every 10 levels

You get 4 skins in bf6

[weary hedge]

Bro can I get a game without a battle pass

[sterile radish]

since GSC & GOG made a collab, is anomaly available to consoles included or no?

[charred nova]

Tbh idc about them that much if I don’t have to pay

[stuck seal]

If you want then yeah

[charred nova]

You want to have stuff for me to grind for eh sure

[weary hedge]

I mean as long as I’m not forced to look at mind throbbing skins in the battlefield whatever

[charred nova]

I’m game

[sterile radish]

oh alright

[charred nova]

I mean the skins are pretty mild

[dry vault]

There were hundreds of things to grind for in bf4 and it didn’t have a battle pass

[stuck seal]

Battlefield game has teams with different aesthetics

Instantly doubles back on them by having skins for both teams that make them look similar to each other

[weary hedge]

Good. I genuinely just can’t with the overly saturated fantasy shit anymore

[dry vault]

Battle passes are a content scapegoat

[charred nova]

Yes and no

[charred nova]

Idk how it will work in bf6

Though I’m fairly sure skins can be used on both sides sadly

[dry vault]

I mean the bad guys are a PMC

Ofc their equipment is gonna look the same

[charred nova]

We can fight the Russians

[dry vault]

Real-world militaries fighting each other in 2025? Come on man that’s not PC enough

[charred nova]

Yah it’s kinda lame

[oak junco]

I miss fighting actual countries like China in bf4 had cool as hell equipment and camo

[dry vault]

Well the Pax Armata in BF6 is made up of real countries who dissolved from NATO

So technically I guess they are still real world countries were fighting against

Which countries those are though is still unknown

[charred nova]

Not entirely true

We know one of them is France

[dry vault]

This isn’t a cope, it’s literally just the only lore we have

Seriously, France is one of them?

The white flag capital of the world

[charred nova]

Yes

[dry vault]

That’s pretty ballsy of them to do

[weary hedge]

France has some memorable battles

[charred nova]

They made that goofy tank

[dry vault]

Yeah…before the modern 1900s lol

[charred nova]

Like come on

[weary hedge]

Still there’s worse countries to shame lmao

[charred nova]

Like Delaware

[dry vault]

Yeah they aren’t as bad as Estonia I suppose

[charred nova]

They also made the metric system

So bravo to them for that

[weary hedge]

They do be smart

[charred nova]

What would i do if we all still used imperial to assemble stuff

[weary hedge]

😂

[charred nova]

I’d blow my head off that’s what I’d do

Imperial is for stupid people to feel special

Metric is for being productive

11/64 of an inch erm no thanks

[weary hedge]

As an imperial user. Imperials are pretty stupid😂

[charred nova]

Yah I live in America

I deal with it every day

Except Fahrenheit

[weary hedge]

Laziness

[charred nova]

I don’t use it

Nor do I know how to

My dad told me when growing up it was for idiots and to use Celsius instead

[still current]

it's funny

He copied/pasted the announcement test lmao

[charred nova]

Yah idk what his deal was he put it in photos

[weary hedge]

He’s not wrong. America adapts a lot of lazy practices

[dry vault]

I take pride in having all my ruler measurements memorized

[weary hedge]

But we are all about efficiency so at the end of the day we only benefit from it

Shit I’d argue metric is easier to learn

[charred nova]

I use too when I worked on ion implanters

You install metric parts on imperial machines

[still current]

Forward feature is often forgotten

[charred nova]

Quite annoying

[still current]

You worked in skyrim?

[charred nova]

No

Don't fucking answer my message haha

[dry vault]

Measuring and cutting out pipe is a million times easier using imperial I feel like

[still current]

Sadge

[charred nova]

You might be right I’ve never done that

[still current]

Everyone here was or currently is a milk drinker

[charred nova]

But I’d rather 3.6mm instead of 13/64ths

[dry vault]

Metric is awesome for weighing

[weary hedge]

Real talk General Tullius or Ulfric Stormcloak
wrong answers only

[oak junco]

hmm

[obtuse veldt]

Reminder to vote

[dry vault]

Tulius takes it up the ass from the Thalmor

[obtuse veldt]

#☢┃stalker-general message

[dry vault]

Really only one good answer here

[weary hedge]

Thalmor are evil goblins

[dry vault]

Ulfric is slowly playing the thalmor like a fiddle

[still current]

Argonians

[weary hedge]

I feel like both are pretty bad overall. I’d choose Ulfric but I don’t fw racism so he lost me😂

[dry vault]

Ulfric just wants to keep Skyrim free, what’s so wrong about it

[weary hedge]

He hates elves and khajit so

[zenith gust]

Ulfric seems lowkey like he wants to flood whiterun with different races to break apart the core culture and creep Gold inflation over the cultural unsettling

[dry vault]

Because elves are nasty people and khajiit are skooma plugs

[zenith gust]

But that’s just me

[dry vault]

Look at the history of the altmer and dark elves

You’ll learn real fast they’re just horrible people

[zenith gust]

Imho elves should’ve stayed where they belong, there’s a reason why they are allergic to the local oils

🗣️ 🔥

[dry vault]

Never forget the night of tears

[zenith gust]

Don’t even get me started on argonians

[weary hedge]

The statistics might state this but I don’t think that’s a valid reason to discriminate races as a whole yk

[dry vault]

I actually have mad respect for the argonians

[zenith gust]

Tbh If you aren’t an imperial Tamriel just isn’t for you

Tbh argonians have dirty food plus their music sucks

[frigid hill]

peanutdrumstick has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[weary hedge]

They are warriors to be reckoned with tho

[dry vault]

The argonians single handedly fought the oblivion crisis so hard that Dagon said screw it and refused to open any more gates in black marsh

That’s some heavy stuff tbh

[zenith gust]

Just like khajits imho, they only drink malt skooma and eat low quality vendor food and live mainly by the harbor in low budget housing tbh they make nice cities like cyrodil terrible to be around

[weary hedge]

They just have different living standards than you

[zenith gust]

Tbh deport them all to Morrowind

I don’t want to be around them tbh

[weary hedge]

Morrowind is hell😂

[obtuse veldt]

TES 6 WHEN!?

[zenith gust]

That’s why they need to go there so their culture can thrive there with all the other dirty spore chuckers

[dry vault]

Argonians get a lot of hate but tbh, try and survive a day in black marsh as a nord

You wouldn’t last 6 hours

[obtuse veldt]

Also i was thinking that it should be possible to mod Rhino capacity to 5 or 7

[zenith gust]

Tbh you all can have mad respect for all these inferior people but instantly start hating anytime an imperial get a lil motion

[weary hedge]

Agreed but they have very unethical leadership. If they weren’t so brutal towards one another they would thrive but that’s why you have so many immigrants in Skyrim and cyrodiil

[obtuse veldt]

5 when using buckshot
7 when using regular ammo

[weary hedge]

Nah I think imperials are chill

[zenith gust]

Tbh I am tired of the mixing in Skyrim, if they stuck harvesting mud crabs and fighting in the low level arena that’s fine, but don’t tell me they’ll ever be a greybeard or persue a great college up north

[dry vault]

I mean the Argonians are in their right to be cautious and weary of outsiders

[zenith gust]

Tbh Alduins return is a good thing

[dry vault]

They’ve been enslaved by dark elves almost their entire lives

[weary hedge]

Bro literally. What do you expect from people who come from a line of slavery and being treated like shit ?

[zenith gust]

Well to be honest they were sold to the dark elves by other argonians it’s not their fault, not that I’m a fan of knife ears either with their magic and their ugly women tbh they need to learn how to work a real job

[weary hedge]

It’s a cold world lmao

[zenith gust]

It was fine until that gotdayum J’zargo died and now they wanna act like they are more valuable than the common nord, if they were happy with their dockside houses and horse carting jobs we wouldn’t have an issue

[weary hedge]

Let them pursue their dreams. They have ambitions like you and me. But I don’t have a problem cleaning up the mess left behind by most😉

[zenith gust]

Nope hard disagree, and yes, all of them

The nine divines made me in their image

You just have the privilege of the mercy of kinder people. These others do not

[dry vault]

If I had it my way, all of Skyrim would be like Windhelm

[weary hedge]

Quick way to start a civil war

[dry vault]

I mean hey

They don’t say Skyrim belongs to the nords for fun

[zenith gust]

And tbh what’s the end goal here
It was already enough we have nords bunking with imperials let alone these skooma peddling thugs. If my kid ends up attending acedamy with an argonian he’s not gonna think twice about mixing with a scaleback

[weary hedge]

Realistically nowhere belongs to none

[dry vault]

Shit for a while, the nords and elves worked together and respected one another

Then one day the nords found something the elves wanted and they decided to just slaughter everyone without knife ears

[weary hedge]

Until their ancestors wiped out the white elves

[dry vault]

Reasonable crashout though if you ask me

Imagine your neighbors just raping and pillaging you out of nowhere

[weary hedge]

Nah greed is a filthy thing

[dry vault]

Noooo the elves blindly massacred the Nords

It wasn’t the other way around

[graceful dirge]

I don't think I found the PDA that has all of this deeplore

[dry vault]

The Nords touched down in Saarthal and when they found the eye of magnus down there the elves got jealous

[weary hedge]

Ohhhh ur talking about the night of tears

[dry vault]

Yessir

The snowelves with their natural power-hungry nazi-idealistic values couldn’t have the Nords finding something magical

[weary hedge]

To be fair the nords were not going to share with the elves regardless so it was always going to end in slaughter but that does not justify what they did

[dry vault]

For real

[weary hedge]

It is tragic what happened to the snow elves tho. I can not see falmer the same

[frigid hill]

peanutdrumstick has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dry vault]

They really did get a crappy end of the stick

Got steamrolled so hard they had to cut a deal with the Dwemer just to stay alive

I love elder scrolls lore

[weary hedge]

Indeed. Just goes to show what narcissistic leadership does to people. I bet there was a lot of good folks in their bunch

[dry vault]

Just gets deeper and deeper the more you dig

Hundred percent there were some good ones

[weary hedge]

For real. I thrive for this kind of stuff

[dry vault]

There’s still some thalmor that defect because of the horrors they commit

[weary hedge]

I bet. Which is why it’s important to target leadership and not the people themselves

[frigid hill]

peanutdrumstick has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dry vault]

The thalmor have done so many evil twisted crimes against humanity between the oblivion crisis and dragon break

[harsh jungle]

did they violate the Geneva conventions

[dry vault]

You don’t really learn a lot about it unless you go to UESP and read for yourself

[dry vault]

They’re quite literally the SS of elder scrolls

[weary hedge]

This and deep lore videos can only explain this

[harsh jungle]

constant Geneva violations, got it

new one every day

[weary hedge]

I’d say the thalmor are worse than daedra 😂

[dry vault]

There’s one story that accounts for the thalmor cutting off the heads of all the Blades and their family members in the summerset isles and delivering them back to Cyrodil

[harsh jungle]

who would win in a fist fight: all of the thalmor or all of the daedra

[zenith gust]

Tbh if the imperials genocided the elves it would be a good elder scrolls game

[dry vault]

I’d play that

[zenith gust]

Like you could press square to throw the babies on the rocks it could be a basketball type mini game

[weary hedge]

Hammer fell is next bois

[harsh jungle]

yeet the child

[weary hedge]

Can’t wait to get into some more redgaurd lore

[zenith gust]

You could be a good imperial and be like “dude I’m so seriously sorry I got your wife pregnant”

[dry vault]

I’m really hoping that’s what elder scrolls 6 revolves around, at least as a subplot

Clearing all the thalmor out of hanmerfell

[weary hedge]

I can see some dope ass plot revolving in hammerfell

[zenith gust]

Yeah that would be good you could even repurpose fallout 4 base building but you grow crop and make concentration camps

And different elves have different stats and as you buy and capture them you can selective breed them to make stronger workers

[zenith gust]

Elder scrolls 6 is gonna flop im calling it now

[weary hedge]

Bro😭

[zenith gust]

Todd Howard should hire me

[dry vault]

It’s gonna flop in the sense that the hype for it has definitely dropped but I believe they’ll pull through - elder scrolls is Todds comfort and passion project

At least that’s what he says

[weary hedge]

I’m just excited to witness how redgaurds live and the harsh climates their deserts have

[zenith gust]

Imho the only way elder scrolls 6 will succeed is if the plot is that Tamriel Balkanizes and instead of choosing a race or class you choose a cultureless ethnostate and you have to build a culture and fight the war to come out on top

[dry vault]

Not sure if it’s true or not but one of the subplots for ES6 is gonna involve the orcs

Which makes sense since orsinium is right there

[weary hedge]

This would also be awesome

[dry vault]

Orcs rebuild orsinium for the 100th time and start tearing stuff up

[weary hedge]

Orcs vs Redgaurds war would be incredible to see

[zenith gust]

Orcs are the best

[weary hedge]

Brute force and strength vs Pure agility and endurance 🔥

[zenith gust]

Real men vs queer twinks hmm. Who’s gonna win

[dry vault]

Did you know the orcs used to be elves, and when Boethiah ate and shit out their old god (now known as malacath) they rubbed the excrement onto themselves?

[zenith gust]

Orcs are the best race tbh

[dry vault]

That’s why they look so ugly in the game

[zenith gust]

That’s a elven lie tbh, elves just try to infiltrate all races and cultures

[weary hedge]

You underestimate redgaurds and their culture brotha

[zenith gust]

Let me guess victory was promised to them 3000 years ago

Lok’tar Ogar

[weary hedge]

Let’s be real the average redgaurd soldier would cut up and exhaust the average orc soldier before he could get a good hit in. It’s the numbers and technology that carries orcs

[dry vault]

I’m pretty sure the redguards are the canonically most experienced combatants

It’s all thanks to those damned curved swords

[zenith gust]

Not remotely true

[weary hedge]

It all comes close to Orcs, Redgaurds, Nords and. Dumner. I don’t think there actually is a best

[weary hedge]

You know it 😂

[dry vault]

I know the Dunmer are the most experienced destruction magic users

They put even the best altmer to shame

[weary hedge]

100% they also have alot of dark magic enthusiasts that would wipe the field in alot of battles

[dry vault]

The Nords that inhabit the reach are the best Wild magic users but that’s not really explained much unless you play ESO

I actually enjoy ESO for the lore it expands on, but it’s not really good in other aspects

[weary hedge]

Nords have a lot of awesome practices. I appreciate how spiritual they are and how they treat one another

[dry vault]

I admire what Ulfric is fighting for but come on you can’t come up with any cope to justify using the thu’um in a trial by combat

That was some cowardly stuff

[weary hedge]

I personally see myself as a Breton. I just enjoy studying the way of life and the cultures around me plus I enjoy the spellblade aspects

[weary hedge]

Exactly bro. People sometimes do unjustly things during desperate times

[dry vault]

Bretons are pretty cool

when the radiation, glows up the mountain,

its a new day, its a new way,

im just a stalker thrown in the sky.

[dry vault]

If you can force yourself to adjust to the MMO aspects of ESO I highly recommend exploring the daggerfall covenant questline

Just for the lore alone

[stark crescent]

why is this freaking nobody killing MY enemies?!?!

[weary hedge]

For sure. ESO is amazing for storytelling

[stark crescent]

i was a beta tester for ESO, it was way different back then. alot less story of course. but i didnt like having a bunch of random players completing my mission objectives by killing the enemies i was supposed to kill
