This is the best shitpost I’ve ever seen.
It’s a difficult game, of course a journalist will struggle with it!
I feel compelled to share a gaming goof of my own:
Having come from Morrowind, I didn’t realize Oblivion had a fast travel system until WAY later in the game. I felt totally dumb for having missed that somehow.
On the plus side, my athletics level became alarmingly high.
I have a bit of a reputation among my friends for missing pretty basic stuff in games. My best guess is that I replay a lot of older games that I already know everything about, so it’s kind of a reflex to just ignore text that pops up on the screen. This is how I end up several hours into a game being unaware that there is a block mechanic.
Morrowind has fast travel (sortof). It’s called “Recall”.
Silt striders! That’s how I got around at least
Games like these are better without fast travel anyway
yes… fast travel makes the world non existent.
Seconded. Oblivion even added horses to make terrestrial exploration faster, why not use them?
But an edge that Morrowind has over Oblivion (and Skyrim) is that it has so many more small settlements dotted around the map that act as travel nodes. Skyrim at least added cart travel between cities, but we’re talking less than 10 travel nodes compared to over twice that many in Morrowind (not even counting the Propylon network).
Not just horses, but horse armor!
