can you name one memorable thing about TESO? because i sure fucking can't

I'm hearing on twitter and reddit that TESO is basically dead. They were in the midst of a major refactor of all the classes and races to modernize everything and welp, everyone important or useful is gone. The game might get some thumbed in expansions going forward but I bet it's basically in maintenance mode until it's closed down in a few years.

Remember, the woman doing this is a jeet. TESO is going to get a jeet put in charge of it and the company's gonna be gutted. It's the same thing they've done every other company they've taken over, and now they have Microsoft -> XBox -> Countless substudios to izzat farm.

Just how fucking bloated was the development team of ESO that they would just lay off a quarter of the work force for what, from what I always heard at least, was one of their more successful/profitable cash cows?

Microsoft management is jeets all the way down now. AI will be doing the needful in programming, modeling, texture generation, design, and writing from here on out, saar.

How should you respond?​

If an Indian colleague says this to you, do not reply with, "What exactly do you want me to do?" (That will frustrate them).

Instead, just do the obvious next steps, and reply with:

"The needful is done. The client is installed, and the team is briefed. Please let me know if you need anything else."

Using the phrase back to them will earn you major respect and show that you "get" their work culture!

Running through and waiting around in empty Dungeons with other low levels and no enmeies because they'd been cleared already and took forever to respawn.

Getting stuck in animations like wood cutting and being able to run around while chopping air then getting disconnected from the server.

Being followed around for half an hour by some random begging to party up, despite them being like 50 levels higher than me, after telling them no. "Cmon dude please? It'll be fun I promise. I can help you get awesome loot and shit, man. Please?".

Every class I tried feeling like a spell sword in training.

Character customization letting me choose how tall my character is, and every race having their own min and max height settings. I actually do genuinely like this. It's a nice touch.

everyone had a preset height and the same min/max deviation on sliders, and fell into 3 categories
tall - nords, altmer
midget - wood elves
mid - everything else
also save for beast races and fringe height cases (bosmer) you will not be able to tell what race or class someone is if they're fully armored as everyone has the exact same body shape and can use whatever armor/weapon transmog
bosmer mage rocking full plate and dual axes? sure, why the fuck not

 

[Gog & Magog]

Skyrim is astonishingly playable from beginning to end with a character between 3 to 4 feet tall. I played a wood elf last time I played. Made him short and round like a cannon ball. Never witnessed any game mechanics break on account of height. NPCs even looked down on him during conversations. Only mods installed were some race/character creation mod among some other QoL ones. None were geared toward tiny player characters. Makes me wonder why smaller characters weren't ever added to the game to begin with.

If ESO gets shut down, do you think they'd release the files so people can host their own private servers? Maybe even mod it? That'd be awesome.

I very much liked the OST, especially battle music for the world anchors, I liked wandering around the world, I thought the character customization and smithing was better than Skyrim's plus the addition of leatherworking, woodworking and jewlery as seperate skills made a lot of sense. To be honest, I kind of want to play it again now before it gets closed down.

how it raped the lore even more.
and for that, i'll jack one off to the news of zenimax getting fucked. SUFFAH ZENIMAX, SUFFAH TESO.

It only gets worse the less competent Bethesda gets due to the Devteam of Theseus problem. Spacerim... was there a single time where the NPCs weren't essential? Outside of the procgen nightmares? Or even a single quest where you had any option other than staying on the rails the unimaginative losers at Bethesda wanted you on?

... We're never getting TES6 and that's probably for the best. Wonder when Skyrim Remastered is gonna be announced?

There will be a TES6 and you will love it.

>todd insists on using the same engine complaint
biggest retarded take ever, especially with how much money they make out of XCucks with creationclub, probably snoys too with how they did a 180 on starfield being shit after the PS5 version launched.

Some people liked how it depicted Sotha Sil and it is the reason for the creation of the domestic cat-sized Khajiit. The introduction of Ithelia, the "Forgotten" Daedric Prince is worth mentioning as well, even though that got the Elder Scrolls Online attention for all the wrong reasons.

ESO discourse only serves to remind me that it is and always was a gigantic turd designed for secondaries and retards. The last trailer I saw for it was full of pride flags and cuddly wuddly pets and a two-handed high elf warrior with a beard running around generic fantasy landscapes and all I could think was how the game was clearly late-stage woke faggot WoW but with an ES skin.

They were also cramming tranny shit into the game as early as the second expansion, which opened the floodgates to homosexuals early who now use Vivec turning into a chick to bang the God of Rape into poz representation.

ES is fucking dead as an IP but I genuinely blame the mild success of ESO as one of the reasons it died.

Remember, the woman doing this is a jeet.

Yup, the second she came in it was clear what she was and what their goals were. Extract wealth, jump to the next company. She wont be there for more than 4-5 years till she ladder hops to another position. She has no love for games like most of the people who work at these AAA studios. No sympathy, no care. They all need to burn.

The balls on these fuckers like they were actually doing anything that made us not worried for TES VI

They just took the design of Necrom off Tamriel Rebuilt too lol

It's all over but the crash. Not just gaming. Every tech industry, and with it, our entire economy. The Jeets won't care cause they're taking back the equivalent of a king's ransom every year back to their shitty countries, and even in a collapse they'll be living way better in the west than in India. And since the Boomers are uniquely vulnerable to India's curry scented asskissing ("yes saar I just want to do a good job at a fair market wage of $2 an hour saar, not like your greedy grandchildren saar") well, we're fucked.

But hey at least Emil gets to be a games developer instead of an AO3 author, yeah?

One can only imagine there will be a violent ousting of them from the country.
Because its the only way I can ever see this being fixed. Tech companies are going to crash as is gaming and every other field infiltrated by them to the point everyone is mad and blames them for it. But its gonna get real bad first.

The conditioning the west has been undergoing for the past ~80 years is explicitly to prevent the kind of race consciousness required to do that, but if that conditioning does fail, things are going to go to hell real fucking quick.


But back on topic: We're never seeing TES6, probably not seeing Fallout 5, and Starfield will never get another update. Was it worth it, Todd?

Actually, was the rumor that Todd Howard was one of the people laid off true? If Emil survives but Todd falls that would be the most hilarious outcome.

If Todd is out they may as well fire BGS as a whole. Priority One of a new head is going to be a forced switch to Unreal, and a big reason that the longtimers have been there is because they refuse to learn anything other than Gamebryo. Not that I think there are many left, but whoever left that doesn't throw a temper tantrum is probably, ironically, a tranny, who isn't worth a nickel.
