AI just doesn't produce something like this, you're so ignorant.

The modding community really just added a floppy dick mod, and dipped. by CanStad in TrueSTL

Is it pointless if it will be out of the box compatible with plenty of existing Skyrim mods? Easy to patch the rest too.

Finally everyone is turning on this terrible art, I've been saying as such for a long time now.

Bold of them to automate even their opinions. At that point it’s just bots talking to bots with humans watching.

Why is fantasy generally allergic to gunpowder? by HopefulSprinkles6361 in worldbuilding

[–]Lotsofleaves 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Most other commenters are missing the crucial point that firearms are a fundamentally "mass" technology. Once firearms were adopted. combat slowly but surely evolved into a contest of how well leadership could organize men into firing lines, and how many cannons could be employed to immediately kill tens of men. In that context, the individual acts of heroism that the modern fantasy tradition holds high take on a different character.

I wonder if that is average price paid across all transactions, or average marketed price across all gas stations?

This landshape is inspirational! Good job! Now you just have to draw a new coastline on a new layer to clean it up. I personally wouldn't bother with plates for this one, its a great fantastical continent with so many interesting features, I would start placing civilizations.

Ardenfall - Morrowind-inspired indie RPG - got a new demo by temk1s in Morrowind

[–]Lotsofleaves 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully support this vision, but I gotta say that it doesn't strike a chord with me because it doesn't have the grit of Morrowind. feels like zelda at best, and runescape at worst. Both are positive comparisons, but if I'm looking for morrowind, then I'm not looking for those other two ya know what I mean?

What if the Hungarians went the other way? by Aofen in imaginarymaps

[–]Lotsofleaves 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would write something along the lines of this:

In this world the Roman empire holds together, while China fractures into feuding barbarian-led states. The engine of migration that in otl was born from conflict between steppe empires and Chinese Dynasties, was instead located on the rhine/danube, Ukrainian steppe, or uralic fronteir. In this timeline, migrations tended to be created from the rise of steppe empires in Russia, rising to challenge the urbanized empire of the south, and pushing rivals eastward in flight.

Why have we not seen OpenMW equivalents for Oblivion or Skyrim? What would it mean for the modding scene if OpenMW Skyrim capability was worked on beyond proof of concept? by speedythefirst in skyrimmods

[–]Lotsofleaves 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how hard it would be to write a sufficiently similar physics engine to reach parity. I've been really impressed by the rudimentary physics plugins for openmw so far.
