dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Oblivion and Skyrim aren't games you play for the story silly, they're engines to build your own video game via modding.

It worked for that one guy who made that mod about the secret time loop city

He went ahead and made it into a standalone game

Yeah the total conversion mods for Oblivion and Skyrim are great from what I gather, I've yet to try them.

This mod in particular was just a custom area in the game. If you like punishing yourself and don't mind save scumming until you get a feel for it the Requiem Overhaul for Skyrim is a lot of fun. Brings it more in line with earlier games like Morrowind where undead like draugr will be virtually immune to damage outside of fire attacks / silver weapons, trolls will regenerate their health rapidly unless you set them on fire. Archetypes are more clearly defined where it takes a lot of skill points to use magic to any real degree while wearing full plate and everything does a lot more damage so combat feels more impactful, getting hit in the face by a 2h axe will kill you so you best be dodging those swings. It does start out pretty slow though because you can basically only kill bandits and wolves for the first 20 levels.

Skyblivion is being released sometime in 2025 though and I'm pretty hype for that.

The time loop city was pretty cool

Much better than just about anything else outside of Blackreach

And even then, Blackreach was woefully underused

You play it for the vibes

Terry Pratchett was involved with a mod for oblivion apparently. It's a really cute story
