Avellone now officially works with Bethesda. Will Elder Scrolls' writing ever get good again, lads?

Who gives a shit about the writing when you have atrocious shit like level scaling.
Zachary Reed
Who gives a shit about writting when the gameplay is a piece of shit consolekids first oriented casual crap
TES was never good because of rpg casuals autism , and now its hopeless
Dylan Johnson
Nintendo is making better elder scrolls games now, Bethesda has been replaced.

The only Elder Scrolls game that didn't have level scaling was Morrowind. Even Arena and Daggerfall has it, sometimes to an even more annoying extent like how loot and merchant inventory is based on your level.
Jonathan Gutierrez
More like lore improvisation.
Thomas Gutierrez
Who cares about writing when the setting is inherently so shit even the most casual D&D DMs would be embarassed to present it to their players?
Eli Parker
Okay, now they need good programmers, good game designers and good everyone else.
Grayson Baker
Wake me up when they hire Kirkbride again, the only interesting part of TES's writing was the mindfuck stuff.
Adam Jones
Maybe but I doubt he can fix the damage that was done to the series at this point. the TES games were retconned to hell and back then retconned even more. Some changes was neat but others such as the jungle in cyrodill was really fucking lazy.
Kayden Morgan
To be fair with Bethesda, even with their shit paid mods and all that, hiring Avellone means that TES games could potentially move from "muh dovahkin, dragonborn" to "muh nature"
Dylan Wilson
Morrowind had it too
Casual DMs would be embarrassed to present any setting to their players
Noah Robinson
Any sauce on this?
Chase Diaz
Please be joking.
If not, RIP Avellone.
Eli White
If true he just sold the last bit of his soul that wasn't sucked out, to Todd.
Christian Hill
I don't remember it. All items and enemies can be encountered at any level in Morrowind. Oblivion's level scaling was Ken Rolston's idea, and he mentioned that Morrowind didn't have it.

This, except for the gameplay, all shit it's not even worth comparing it.
I would replace it with "Mechanics" and say Morrowind > Oblivion > Skyrim for obvious reasons.
Colton Wilson
Avellone might be a cuck and a sjw, but he knows how to write.
As long as he doesn't become shit I'm okay with him.
Owen Gutierrez
You know this image is a bait when you see this.
Adrian Wright
Morrowind quests are mostly just navigating chat boxes, your journal and the map though
Nathan Walker
so who's going to write POE 2?
Ayden Howard
Holy shit nigger what the fuck are you doing?
Kayden Sullivan
nearly all the posts were bumps, what's wrong with vidya related discussion you mongoloid.
Luis Moore
Sawyer . Avellone was only allowed to write one character IIRC. They really underused him there.
