I love being in Morrowind and being called names because I'm a giant walking lizard where cat folk and lizard folks used to be slaves. Lean into that shit Bethesda. Gimme dat race war.

Except the problem is that Bethesda writes really flat, unconvincing racists. In fact, I'd go as far as to argue weakly portrayed racists in media like Bethesda's are part of why racists are always like "I'm not racist!" because they're comparing themselves to absurdly over the top tropes of badly written racism.

You want Disco Elysium level racists in all your games? Because they got that right.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 19 points 8 months ago

Yes. The Disco Elysium devs deserve to write all games.

Maybe not all games, but a 3d open-world RPG written by the Disco writers would be utterly amazing

Have you tried New Vegas?

Oh what am I saying, of course you have

[–] camr_on@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hahaha only a few thousand hours. You just reminded me that it's been too long since I've done a playthrough so thank you, I'm off to add a few more

If it's been more than a few years, you'll be blown away by recent mods. There's been a bit of a modding Renaissance.

Music to my ears. I'm hoping to get a modded playthrough working on the steam deck. I did a TTW playthrough a couple years ago and it was great

Steam Deck definitely has a learning curve to mod with, but I've done it. You can either go the Wabajack route and transfer the list from a Windows PC, or manually mod it using Linux natively on the deck. Viva New Vegas is fantastic, if you want a TTW list the Wasteland Survival Guide is fantastic too. You can add the Mojave Express Guide on tip of VNV if you want more content.

I need a Khajiit Measurehead

KHAJIIT HAS CRANIOMETRIC PERFECTION AND ADVICE ON RACIAL THEORIES IF YOU HAVE COIN.
