@shadowofwhore Yeah, I know everything that happens in it, but I can never bring myself to make a goody-two shoes character thats eligible to do it. I love stealing shit too much
@thebenfromMI My distaste for it primarily stems from me just not being a fan of the type of story they told, in addition with their handling of the Psijics
High Fantasyโข has never been what I've wanted out of Elder Scrolls, and I'm happy for the people that like it, but I am not one of them
@VernonAndOn There are some things I like, I think how it called back to the Balmora and DC questlines were cool, but I really didn't jibe with many of the narrative choices or the art style, especially with the Psijic Order
@FunkyLith High Isle has the benefit of being a whole expansion with new gameplay additions and improvements. If I were exclusively focused on narrative It'd probably be close to the bottom of D.
They put something in the water with Galen tho, that DLC was not my favorite by any stretch
@floognoodle@thebenfromMI Yeah, I think Blackwood's only saving grace was the Champion rework and adding companions. Everything else about it felt a little underwhelming
@thebenfromMI High Isle is up there for it's gameplay additions. Oakensoul pre-nerf was really fun, and I really like Tales of Tribute.
Even if we're JUST going off of story, I could not in good faith put High Isle at the bottom, as that would mean something could be worse than Galen
@pissinbig None that I've found, but I haven't really been looking either. Luckily you can still play the game without the AE content so it's not too much of a problem
@gaylordking14 It's also nostalgia. I come back to Skyrim at least once every few months and it was the first rpg I ever played.
Dragonborn DLC is peak fiction tho
@VernonAndOn There are some things I like, I think how it called back to the Balmora and DC questlines were cool, but I really didn't jibe with many of the narrative choices or the art style, especially with the Psijic Order
@pissinbig I think that one addition is very emblematic of how haphazardly the new content was put into the game. Zero regard for the player experience or artistic intent of the original Skyrim experience
@pissinbig There's too many to go over but all of them are either way too overpowered or way too underpowered.
One of my biggest nitpicks though is that Bandit chiefs can now spawn with Dragonplate after lvl 30, which robs that set of being unique to the player / the smithing skill line
@pissinbig I don't like the quality control on the new content and how easily the quests can break if you accidently go into locations early--which really hurts exploration.
Additionally I'm not a fan of the balancing of many of the new items and how they interact with the leveled lists
@Gravelpasture Shadow magic was a pull from Shadowkey, but even if it wasn't new concepts--regardless of execution are not retcons.
Summerset was hot ass tho you and I agree on that
Now that TES is all over my feed, it's becoming increasingly obvious that nobody has actually played ESO...
Like it does some dumb things with the lore but it is not NEARLY as dumb as everyone makes it out to be. I'd actually argue that Skyrim had worse retcons in it than ESO
