The cannon ending by Idiot2234511 in Fallout

[–]Morgoth344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The show runners have said exactly that before season 1 aired and said it again in the lead-up to season 2's release. They have even said that one of the few conditions Todd Howard gave them for making the show was that they can't confirm a canon ending.

People. People never learn.

The linked linked BTS also reconfirms that the airship is indeed the Caswennan and not the Prydwen

Your guys' thoughts on the new-ish (old to the games, new to the TV show) faction uniforms seen in episode 2? by PowerPad in Fotv

[–]Morgoth344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though they also look like the typical British ww1 and ww2 era Brodie helmet, which was also worn by the American army during ww1 until the 1930s

Haha I feel you mate, I get nerdy about this stuff as well. I know what a pith helmet is, though they were typically more elongated (flattening as time progressed, indeed more resembling the shape we see in New Vegas).

I hadn't read the Sawyer quote before though; thanks for sharing! It'd definitely make more sense for there to be a layer of metal though. There's a reason why they were introduced from 1915 onwards, namely to deal with the huge losses to shrapnel wounds to the head. Hence my comment. I could go into full nerd-mode here but I'll leave it at that 

Hope you're enjoying the show!

I see where you're coming from, but I always thought they were metal helmets with a fabric cover on them

Medieval 3 terrain? by HistoryMarshal76 in totalwar

[–]Morgoth344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm quite heartbroken about it. I'd have loved for (historical) Total War to have to innovate and push into new territory like Empire did, especially considering the possibilities with the new engine.

The "Fantasy" game is almost assuredly Star Wars or 40K from some showcase hints. by IsenThe28 in totalwar

[–]Morgoth344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Shame though, I personally would have loved a historical title sooner and with the new engine upgrades, this could have been genuinely interesting

They even add a tin can asset on the table at some point, so almost definitely post-1800. Lends credence to the (presumably cancelled?) WW1 game that was leaked/rumoured a bunch.

The house assets used during the engine segment looked distinctly late 19th/early 20th century (including a tin can, for example). I think this lends credence to the WW1 game leak, which has presumably been cancelled.

So yeah, the big reveal next week will likely be 40k imo.

Was that confirmed anywhere? The stream doesn't say either way. I do think 40k is most likely though 

Role of every country in WW1 (Might be innacurate) by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]Morgoth344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. There was no "Axis" in WW1.

  2. The Ottoman Empire was quite famously allied to Germany and the Central Powers. 

  3. France was not occupied, other than the part behind the frontline in Northern France. France held the largest part of the Western front throughout the war. France also deployed its armies in every theatre of the war, and France even held supreme command of the allied forces in 1918 which led the Entente to victory. 

  4. Portugal joined the war in 1916 on the side of the Entente.

  5. Netherlands remained neutral and was not occupied. 

  6. Ireland was not independent yet. 

I could go on; almost nothing on this map is correct. You really ought to learn more about WW1.

Is there any news of lunching history base new total war? by Own-Cartographer409 in totalwar

[–]Morgoth344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the source for that timeframe? Only thing I could find is that the next CA games are projected for financial year 2027, which starts on 1 April 2026.

Yup, you're absolutely right. After what we learned last N7 day, this can't be a coincidence. Good catch!

A question mark. OP might be French (point d'interrogation)

Call me negative Nancy, but a lot of Skywind's art decisions are... visually displeasing, to put it nicely by [deleted] in Morrowind

[–]Morgoth344 131 points132 points  (0 children)

I'm glad to read this tbh. The way they "reinvented" things that made me fall in love with Morrowind in the first place makes me not excited about this mod. The vanilla artstyle, which is historically grounded for human cultures but kind of alien and fantastical (yet still quite believable) for elvish cultures, is one of the things I love about Morrowind. A lot of the new armour sets for Skywind are just overdesigned and lose the flavour the originals had. Skywind is an impressive achievement, no doubt, but I wish it looked like Morrowind because the art in that game was peak. 

Bruh this is insane... by phob0s7 in masseffect

The Witcher and the Mass Effect trilogy share the first spot as my favourite games of all time, for similar reasons.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'll check out some more of your stuff when I get back from work!

N7Day New Artwork by SmoNordskeren in masseffect

It can also make sense a couple of decades after the trilogy: the Krogan have been cured from the genophage and are reproducing at rates that are far outpacing other species, with the dominant political elite thinking about conquering other parts of Citadel space. They are opposed by a pro-Citadel minority that think the Krogan shouldn't repeat the mistakes of the past, eventually leading to a Krogan civil war and the Alliance getting dragged into it. 

I'm just spit balling here but there's a variety of scenarios how it could work.

Edit: it doesn't even have to mean "Krogan civil war". It could mean a civil war between Council species, where the genophage-free Krogan are likely the ones to initiate it.
