  The amount of greed is also insane…

  Imagine having millions of dollars (or billions) and having enough that even the next 3 generations of your offspring wont have to work and still wanting more.

  That is why the rich need to be taxed…

  “Wait, you mean to tell me that growth is finite?”

  Dinosaur shareholders probably.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually went Arena first in the OG oblivion, leveled up my character as much as possible (as perfect as possible) and then started doing quests. It was a nice controlled environment to level combat skills in. I was high level but never encountered any major problems at that point. I mean sure… if i only focused on blade (and maxed it to 100) and suddenly started using bow and arrow (which is at 15 or 20) then i’d have a bad time but thats how Morrowind did it too. Arguably even worse in Morrowind lol, god i hated that you could miss swings (but at the time i guess a lot of RPG’s worked that way). But if i went into the world immediately and just started doing quests i was screwed since its almost impossible to level perfectly in an uncontrolled environment.

  What i really like about the remaster is that i can just start doing quests immediately without having to worry about ruining my character. I feel I have much more control of how I want to build my character now, in the original i felt i had to play by a playbook for leveling and when i was high lvl enough i could finally start enjoying the game.

  This is why rock paper shotguns sucks ass and I never take their articles seriously.

  Bethesda DID fix the leveling system in the remasters. The problem was not the level scaling, it was the fact you had to train every single major skill perfectly or else you would miss out on points and become underpowered compared to the enemies which have leveled with you. So if you leveled wrongly you would have anywhere between 5? To 10 points ti spend and if you did correctly you had more… the remaster fixes this by always giving you the max amounts of points to spend each level you gain.

  I can spend an entire paragraph explaining why but this article Probably does it better

  Its pretty idiotic too. What’s the point in having a karma system if you’re just going to ban anyone who you disagree with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but at least the platform is decentralised meaning you can still move your stuff to a better instance.

  On reddit you can do no such thing. Lemmy is definitely not perfect but still miles better than reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion still fun for a first-time player in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as remasters go I think it’s pretty good.

  Don’t expect a 2025 game in terms of mechanics and level design. For it’s time Oblivion was a very good game. This is a polished version of the original with updated graphics and somewhat modernised combat and movement. They ironed out a lot of clunky mechanics and bugs too.

  As far as remasters go the GTA ones were absolute dogwater just like warcraft 3 remastered. This one is very good and imo comparable with the command and conquer remasters.

  I dont think they could have done much more without making the game completely different.

  I just bought it so I guess ill find out. It’s a great game regardless whether they fixed it or not. I can always go archer or sword.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oblivion Remaster Rockets Past 100K Players on Steam Hours After Launch - Insider Gaming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah that’s probably it. I remember the scaling being awful if you didn’t spend all points perfectly each level. They must have fixed it since i don’t seen anyone complaining about it.

  I’ll check some videos this weekend when there is more known about it. I’m looking forward to playing it again though.

  So did they fix the magic system? One of my biggest problems with the original was that magic was near pointless. After like 30 levels magic felt like throwing rocks at a tank.

  I have no idea what I’m looking at. Wth is a ravioli bowl? A bowl made specifically for ravioli?

  That was a fun read. Loved the sarcasm.
