I adore the pouring of coke from a can to a glass at the beginning. It took me totally off guard and made me laugh.

Defs not a doomer about this game but for a guy who had to remind himself "stay positive" i actually appreciate you being upfront about it and honest about your impressions as you played. A few times my bf & I watching AND you all simultaneously went "What the fuck?" at the ugly/clunky/unintuitive moments...which is a lot of it. Great first look at the game!

Looks like fun I might pick it up later. A few things. No friendly fire. It might be for the kids. Or adults who dont like scary things like friendly fire. Mining lasers seem to be more effective than actual weapons. In the version of Elite I played mining lasers cost 800 credits. It had a slow rate of fire but it packed a punch. It took out thargons with one shot (the little fighters not the thargiod mother ships). Very usefull when your laserbank was overheated as the mining laser barely generated heat. So you could still do decent damage while your militairy beam laser cooled down.

I used to play dungeon master till the wee hours, then had to go to school depressed because I was not playing dungeon master anymore.

You worked for Bethesda? That puts a really interesting spin on watching you play this! Also, ESO is my favorite of the Elder Scrolls games, so heck yeah (Even though Morrowind had the best Argonians)

Ah I worked a lot on the Argonian areas. Shadowfen :)

Production Art?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

I was a content design and systems lead

[@RetroMetroism]

@@PhoenicianSailor 🤯Dude I've been watching your content for years! I never knew! That's awesome.

[@Khuros]

what do you think of this game so far?

[@PhoenicianSailor]

I’m perplexed by the UX. Travel, messaging, skill trees… all either underwhelming and/or immersion breaking. Patchable, maybe?

[@glenclough9080]

Honestly? I’m bored by it so far only 6 hours in and I’m really struggling to want to continue

[@dadity9142]

Is it cool to hate on Bethesda nowadays? Aside from the usual Skyrim/bug is intended/Todd Howard memes I thought people were generally really excited to see this game

[@JJJ-uq3fc]

i think at the end of the day, this rpg won't live up to just how popular skyrim was/still is, (despite it's bugs and flaws, and it being from over 10 years old), and also because people simply want another tes game.
