The Forgotten City has “overwhelmingly positive” reviews on Steam with many people praising it for its Bethesda-like systems, so I’m not sure what you mean. Maybe you felt it wasn’t enough like Skyrim and disliked it for that, but clearly you don’t speak for others.

Also, no other Skyrim quest mod, out of the near 2 thousand quest mods for the game, had a full game built off of them. So while that does happen sometimes (ie Dayz), it’s exceedingly rare and far from some sort of “tradition” as you put it. If anything that was far more common a decade or two ago than it is now. The original Star Wars Battlefront mod was quite a long time ago after all.

And no I’m not mad, I’m just confused as to how you could think Skyrim has only bug fixes, UI, and graphics mods, when in reality it has nearly 7x the amount of mods that Morrowind has and is the primary example of a thriving modding scene. Idk if you just spouted that out without knowing, or what.

The Forgotten City

Wtf are you talking about, Skyrim has dozens of amazing quest mods, and hundreds of quest mods overall.

It has major gameplay overhauls, it has custom skeletons for animation, it literally has mods that rework the animation system entirely. Modders added a survival system almost a full decade before Bethesda did.

There are mods that add new continents ffs, what’re you talking about? One of the quest mods was so good it literally got turned into its own game.

Edit: There are currently 60k mods for Skyrim Special Edition, and about 70k for the original Skyrim. Meanwhile Morrowind has 11k. Wtf are you talking about??

Maybe Mass Effect? The 2nd and 3rd especially for the “a” in arpg, imo.

Also, I know you said Western but since you mentioned Elden Ring I’d also recommend Dragon’s Dogma and Monster Hunter. Maybe Devil May Cry, but that’s a bit more hack n slash.

God of War 2018 is a great one too if you’re on PlayStation or PC. Probably the easiest game I listed, while also having some optional crazy difficult fights in the side/postgame content. Valkyrie Queen was harder for me than most Souls bosses lol.

This seems pretty relevant

The original Crash Trilogy has a few levels that do this too

You:

if everyone loved it they wouldn’t have changed it

Me:

Damn I wish this were true, but unfortunately it’s just not.

Then after some back and forth, You:

I never said that

The full quote btw:

I more meant to imply that if everyone loved it they wouldn't have changed it, clearly there was a demand

Which again, just isn’t how things work.

There’s your quotes. Did that jog your memory?

You said you never said that. You literally did. Unless you claimed it to be Opposite Day in an earlier comment I don’t think there’s much room for disagreement.

Either way, I think I’m done. It’s clear that you have no interest in actually talking about this. Just know that companies are more than willing to change things, even when people love them.

I’m sorry my one sentence off hand comment caused this to be a whole thing.

My first comment literally quoted you saying that lmao c’mon man

Lol what? When did I assert that? I said that your comment, that a company would never change something audiences loved, was unfortunately not true.

That companies will change things, even when people love those things?

You should look into dmc Devil May Cry, or any other number of failed entries in well established successful series that completely departed from what people enjoyed.

The one time ign was actually on top of it, and people mass disliked the video. That 7 was deserved.

if everyone loved it they wouldn’t have changed it

Damn I wish this were true, but unfortunately it’s just not.

I grew up with Skyrim and mod it religiously - that’s where my nostalgia comes from. And even I’ll say that Morrowind completely blows it out of the water on nearly every front.

Skyrim’s a lot more accessible, and I love it for that, but that’s about it.

This isn’t a meme though, this literally happened. I was active in that sub when it was posted lol

Why is the top of his head a different shade than his face?

I’m literally a premium member of that website, and have been modding for over a decade. Yes, they usually are.

Most games’ mods are restricted to reshades and trainers. A game having a thriving modding scene, like Skyrim, is actually pretty rare. So Baldurs Gate having a mod that adds tons of races is pretty cool, and potentially a good sign of things to come.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, my friend
