Morrowind would be a whole different beast to remaster. Not saying I wouldn't enjoy some better graphics and tweaked systems, but it would be a hard sell to most gamers if they only did that.

-no voice acting -outdated gameplay systems -Game map that wasn't designed with unlimited draw distance, fast travel, or even unlimited running in mind.

Honestly at this point it would be better served by a full remake.

What exactly has been changed besides the graphics? Sounds like they tweaked the melee combat to more resemble Skyrims.

Imo Oblivions two biggest problems were level scaling and how barren the world was between cities and dungeons.

Edit: I got it after watching more of the gameplay. It still feels like Oblivion, but there's a lot of little tweaks that improve the experience. Combat and movement has more weight to it, so while the systems all effectively function the same it feels a lot less floaty then the original game. There's a lot of small tweaks and QOL improvements, like the UI is reminiscent of the original but much more fluid. Cant comment on if they fixed level-scaling or not, as I'm only at level 3.

Make no mistake, this is 100% Oblivion. Its just a lot prettier and with a lot of small improvements. So far it seems like a rare modern Bethesda W.

Humanity stands on the brink of self-destruction because we have yet to overcome the primitive, selfish aspects of our nature. I have to believe that any civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel—without having destroyed itself along the way—must have achieved a certain level of cooperative enlightenment.

Pressing the mustard stain on Steve's shirt to hear him say "Chicken Jockey" would be peak.

Man, I fucking wish.

It took me a minute to realize that little emoji wasn't just a stain on his shirt, because honestly it fits.

They couldn't even be bothered to pick a name of an actual Dire Wolf from GoT either. Fucking tourists.

Lying, the secret to success that THEY don't want you to know

Horror RPGs in general have very succinct combat. Prolonged battles don't really fit the vibes. It's pretty much either you die quickly, kill the monster quickly, or run away.

Yeah I stopped doing it in High School after realizing that it's some North Korea level bullshit. Got a few other kids in my homeroom to stop too, which really angered our teacher. She was a military spouse and would actually yell at us for refusing to participate. In the end, we compromised by standing but not reciting it. Was the begining of my political and social awakening.

TNG and DS9 are the only two series that I really know well enough to make these recommendations for.

I would highly recommend watching TNG before DS9, even if she likes DS9 better. TNG and DS9 work best as companion shows, with TNG building up a lot of DS9 plot-lines in its latter seasons. I would also highly recommend against starting with any episodes involving Q or the Borg, or any of the series "highlights". Let those plots build, and you don't want to spoil some of the best episodes in a sampler. My go-to TNG introduction picks are:

-Cause and Effect

-Darmok

-Measure of a Man

DS9 can be harder to pick introductory episodes for. Its more serialized nature means that a lot of later episodes have a lot of spoilers. I would highly recommend against picking any episodes that highly involve the Dominion or the Dominion War, let that plot build itself up. That does however, leave us with a lot fewer options. My DS9 introduction picks are:

-Duet

-Past Tense

-Bar Association

 

I’m genuinely curious. Years ago, I was a chubby young pothead who lived on fast food. Taco Bell, McDonald’s, KFC, you name it—I ate it. Back in college, fast food probably made up at least 50% of my diet. And it wasn’t just because it was quick and cheap—I actually enjoyed it.

But these days, I find myself craving it less and less. Besides being more health-conscious, it just doesn’t hit the spot like it used to. It’s more expensive than ever, mostly bland, and I feel terrible after I eat it. So what’s changed? Is it just part of the enshitification of everything? Have I just gotten old, or has fast food really gone downhill?
