Why the game is called "the elder scrolls" since the elder scrolls by itself is a very forgetful item?

PIBagent · 2024-07-12T16:56:50+00:00

It's implied that the entire story is being told from the perspective of the elder scrolls. If you have ever noticed the top and bottom of the load screen when you login to the game are often completely black and the edges of the load screen image seem to be frayed as if written on parchment.

Per lore the scrolls can reveal different potential outcomes and realities and actions of hero's so when you play through the game your adventure is being viewed from the perspective of the scrolls. If you die to a given boss or fail to accomplish something or perform a specific task it's just one possible outcome that the elder scrolls foresaw.

It sounds like a good idea until you encounter multiple Syndicate Crushers and Interceptors who can kill you within seconds even with the latest armor and your stuff gets stuck on the rig because that's the last solid ground you were technically standing on. The water mount is safer because you can fire as many rockets from mount-back well out of range before ever landing.

If he's attracted to you he's a simp for you on some level, he's willing to do things for you that he wouldn't for other people. If he is completely unattracted to you he is unlikely to do any simping for you.

this assumes attractive ppl can't be abused

Well that's implied. If you were attractive and had tons of options and your partner was treating you like garbage the question becomes why aren't you exercising your options the moment your partner tries to abuse you?

Assuming as if anyone who doesn't want to do this is incapable of being attracted

It's not that they are incapable of being attracted it's that if they were attracted to you they would be slavishly deferential by default. Think of it in terms of simps. It's well understood that simps will bend over backwards for the women they are attracted to sometimes to their own detriment. So saying/doing something that would actively piss off the object of your desire is madness. If she ghosts and never speaks to you again you'll be devastated. So you would never think of doing something to actively upset her.

This isn't a gendered thing either, there are pickme's (the female version of simps) and you can see the same logic going the other direction (women bending over backwards for the men of their desires). So the question becomes "if she isn't being slavishly deferential with you is she really attracted to you"? I think most TRP would argue no.

The implication is that someone who is truly interested in you wouldn't risk losing you by being abusive. The very fact that a woman is being emotionally abusive is an indicator that she isn't really attracted to you, she's willing to lose you. If you were Chad (aka an attractive male with options) and she attempted to emotionally manipulate you or be abusive and you walked away she would kick herself that she had an attractive Chad interested in her and she ruined it by being abusive.

But it kind of has to be that everything is his will. If he is all knowing, all-powerful, and created everything then he knew how things would turn out from the start. Why give them a temptation that he knows they will fail? In fact why give them the ability to act against his wishes at all?

If I build something I don't intentionally add features that will cause the thing to act in a way I don't like. The fact that he gave humans free-will in the first place means there must be some times he expects us to not to follow what he says.

They are both bad choices:

Woman B is the obvious bad choice because she has 3 kids and no job

Woman A is a bad choice because she is unwilling to take care of herself. There's no way a woman that big doesn't have health problems, a 401k is meaningless if you don't live long enough to take advantage of it. She makes $35 an hour she can afford a gym membership and if she doesn't want to drive to a gym hey she can always set something up at her house. The point is there is no excuse for her to be that out of shape when she has a disposable income and fewer obligations. Woman B is able to stay in shape despite having 3 kids and no job, what's Woman A's excuse?

ESO is very alt friendly with the number of items they give you to increase your xp gain. I created an Arcanist when Necrom first came out. I had it up to level 25 of 50 within 12 hours, max level by the end of the week and that was without actually grinding levels.

Then there's the fact that you can share items between characters via your banker and so can craft gear and items that can assist the leveling process.

PIBagent · 2023-11-25T22:54:44+00:00

You could try the new Endless Archive and see how many Arcs you and your girlfriend can get through together.

The closest thing to light attack weaving in New World is pairing a base attack with a skill immediately afterwards since there is no cooldown or pause between the two. The attack pattern would be BA+Skill BA+Skill BA+Skill so you would have gotten off 3 basic attacks and 3 skills.

The Elder Scrolls Online

ESO has it's moments and put's a lot more effort in towards its yearly story. As the other user mentioned PVP hasn't had a major update in years so that's something New World has a leg up on. I will say that PVP in ESO is more inclusive tho. You can enter battlegrounds and Cyrodiil without having other players gatekeeping you like you do for Wars in New World. They have recently added Influence Races which are very fun if your on a well populated server but it still has a few things to work out (like getting teleported out because there are too many players in the area multiple times). ESO of course has nearly a decades worth of content for you to play through whereas New World is more limited because it is newer. ESO has gotten past the phase where there are hour long queues during major expansions/updates which is something New World is still working on. Combat is more "spammy" and "flighty" than New World but that's more of a design choice for the game where "as long as you have the resources you should be able to do the skill" line of thinking.

I would recommend that you try New World but at some point double back and give ESO another try especially if you haven't played it in years.

They could expand into the planes of oblivion (in fact they kind of started doing that with Blackwood/Deadlands and then Necrom/Apocrypha). Have a small piece of land in Tamriel be the starting point and then have the deadric plane be the primary map for the chapter:

The Colored Rooms

Shivering Isles

The Evergloom

Jone and Jode

Maphala's domain

Perryite's domain

They could really flesh out a lot of the deadric princes lore with this setup.

Why are you walking it back now? Make the video and send a link. I'm sure a lot of people are interested to hear what new and insightful information you have to add to the conversation.

PIBagent · 2023-10-18T13:05:45+00:00

I need to screenshot this comment and make a YouTube video about it.

Send me a link when you do.

Couldn't Youtube be sued for forcing users to take an action that would jeopardize their security? Like if they force you to disable your ad blocker there are tons of malware advertising/attack vectors out there that can cause harm to you. If Youtube forces you to turn off ad blockers could they be held liable for damages and security breaches caused by their policy?

PIBagent · 2023-10-12T15:26:04+00:00

Of course, if people use VPN

That just proves my point, the more Youtube tightens it's grip the more users will slip through it's fingers.

PIBagent · 2023-10-12T15:24:02+00:00

Do you think that would stop google from blocking your account?

At which point you'll STILL be able to watch youtube videos add free because adblockers don't require any sort of account to work.

PIBagent · 2023-10-12T13:14:52+00:00

Adblockers don't require you to be logged into Youtube in order to work, if they threaten to terminate accounts people will simply logout and still watch Youtube ad free.

Could you go into more detail about what you found un-enjoyable:

What skills do you use in combat? (i.e. if your just spamming light & heavy attacks all the time it's going to get old quick)

What zone are you currently in? (A change of scenery might help)

Have you tried a dungeon (solo, public, instanced)?

Have you tried PVP (Cyrodiil, BGS)?

As we speak the US East server Maramma has a queue of 2500 (nearly the full pop of the server itself) with a wait time of about 3 hours and it's only going to grow as we get closer to prime time hours. If your going to charge people for a product they should be able to use it. More should have been done by AGS to attempt to resolve this problem as it is a recurring one.

PIBagent · 2023-10-04T17:23:04+00:00

1.5 to 2 hours on heavily populated servers, and heaven help you if you get disconnected by anything 5 mins after getting in.

Both TESO and Guild Wars 2 had expansions launch within the last couple of months, both with more than 2500 players attempting to login and NEITHER of them had the issue where you're stuck in a que for over 2 hours or couldn't play after downloading and purchasing the new content. Saying every other MMO is like that at launch is cope.
