    Excuse you, my name is Alice and my avatar is also Alice

    That makes me twice as Alicy as you are! u_u

    Prove that neither girl in my avatar is called Alice!

    She's pretty great too.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    I don't like how you can be the Archmage of Winterhold, the leader of Companions and the Dark Brotherhood all at once in Skyrim.

    I don't like it at all.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i don't have a problem with that.

    i *do* mind that becoming the Archmage or the leader of the Companions changes absolutely nothing besides some minor perks and a line of dialogue here or there.  It feels sort of meaningless.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    Pretty much.

    A lot of things lack weight in those games, because they want to let you do absolutely anything.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Yeah, it basically doesn't matter at all. It's just more shit to do.

    My simple solution was that you can only ascend to the leadership of one, but yeah, that doesn't solve that much.

    The ultimate quests were pretty fun, though. Like, when you try to cure yourself of werewolfism or do that stuff with the orb or meet the true patron of the Dark Brotherhood.

    I mean in Dark Souls or Undertale, you can change things more by committing to certain paths, but those games are much easier to replay, as opposed to Skyrim's huge length.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i would say that the titles felt a bit more meaningful in Oblivion than in Skyrim

    idk if that's nostalgia talking though

    How did it work in Oblivion?

    You got expelled from your position as most powerful mage in Cyrodiil for picking up a fork.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    . . . probably nostalgia, then
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    i just felt that the characters responded to you in ways that suggested the titles were a bit more meaningful

    in Skyrim you can be the leader of the companions and the guards will still be all 'so what do you do?  fetch the mead?'

    Actually I thought it was very cool how Dark Souls tied in-universe factions to different things you could do in multiplayer, even if it didn't work well mechanically sometimes(Gravelords, Path Of The Dragon)

    It's rather compelling!

    It is a shame that it limits one of the iconic aspects of the game to one particular covenant.

    IMO, the darkwraiths should be the Warriors of Sunlight of invasion. Anyone can invade at will, but Darkwraiths get more perks for invading.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    A particular covenant you have to access by beating a difficult boss way earlier than you're supposed to.

    What I'm saying is that, as much as Something Awful tends to poke fun at what they see as "sperging", they can be pretty damn spergtastic themselves.

    Well, every so often the traffic engineering thread devolves into arguments about whether it'll be Uber or self-driving cars that revolutionizes transportation within the next decade

    That's usually just fishmech but still

    i remember seeing 'goony' used there in a way that seemed pejorative

    Neurodevelopmental disorders are not subcultures, they are not personality traits, they are not quirks.

    The use of "sperg", "OCD", "Bipolar", and "autistic" to mean such is worrying.

    This is why I'm confused that I got a bunch of literal "???" responses to what I thought was a fairy uncontroversial observation??

    Remember, you would seem like a fool if you told somebody to stop acting so bronchial asthmatic.

    Or if you decided to Phenylketoneuria out.

    i guess i interpreted your post as "goons tend to ridicule certain behaviours as typical of people with asperger's, while behaving the same way themselves"

    which ime is true

    We all know this. Central is one of them.

    Nonetheless, all Central is stating that goons ridicule certain behaviors, while acting exactly the same way. It's a bit simplistic, arguably lazy, but I'd say Centie's comments are acceptable, at least.

    Miko made fun of me for it a lot.
