That cover picture looks an awful lot like BG3

Yes. You could already do that in the OG Oblivion. The regions of Tamriel were already mapped out.

In Skyrim you also have the chance to spot the Imperial capital. It exists as a low poly model in-game.

Good job, reporter! You've done your work to signal boost an AAA game for corporate profits without managing to actually add any new information!

Games "Journalism" 2025!

I think even better is the multitude of sites that have just copy/pasted the wikia 'Oblivion Console Commands' page as 'new content' for Oblivion Remastered - but quite a few of the listed commands don't work on Remastered.

I know they copied the wikia page and not the UESP page too as only UESP mentions you occasionally need to wrap refid's in quotes for Oblivion. (if you're using a refid as the first part of a command ie. "abc123".moveto player) which you'll need to know as PRID is dead.

edit: bat doesn't work either! This is a travesty! Won't someone rid me of these turbulent quest items!

Call me when you can actually move between regions.

That game is called Arena. It was the first Elder Scrolls game.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Daggerfall as well, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Technically, though Arena was all of Tamriel and Daggerfall was High Rock, northern Hammerfell and the disputed territory of Orsinium

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can do that since 2015 when the Imperial City was added to The Elder Scrolls Online

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Unfortunately, that would require me to play an MMO, so that's out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you move between them in Elder Scrolls Online? I’ve never played myself, but it would be cool to walk between the locations.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I've only ever played it for short spans of time, but Im pretty sure you can. I don't know how seemless it is.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

.. yeah Skyrim the region exists just next door to Cyrodiil, crazy that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Are you sure? It looks similar but its not the same.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So I know nothing about the games but each are set in the same world and right next to each other? Do they take place in the same timeframe?

Reminds me a bit of RDR1 and RDR2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Oblivion and Skyrim are 200 years apart, but geographically border each other. Classic Oblivion didn't render Skyrim, but that was more for technical reasons than anything else. If you get high enough up in Skyrim on a clear day you can see the entire continent.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just like you can see cyrodiil from skyrim.

But sure, let's make an stupid article about it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Krocodil. Not even once.

ad revenue isn't gonna generate itself

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

If we can generate content with Ai I'm sure we can generate views too. Just an endless ouroboros of Ai generating and viewing it's own shit to milk ad money.

This photo is the BG3 home screen lmao

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It’s also inspired by „the wanderer“ painting that has been referenced a million times without most people even realizing that yes, someone did that first.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Do you mean "Wanderer above the sea of fog"?

The greenery makes it hard for me to see that. I really love Elden Rings take on that painting:

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I mean they straight ripped it off lol

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can see the mountain range that borders 2 countries? Stop the fucking presses.

[–] [email protected] 136 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see

Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn't even try it themselves. Garbage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

This is just a game. I have been seeing so many serious, life and death related news articles with their source being a tweet. This industry is cooked.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Ai slop articles about vidya
