because its not a part of the game, its not something that's supposed to be there

:blink:

That's not the point. He doesn't even acknowledge these things in his essay. It's all about "if you ran into a problem in MW, you had a Serious Decision? to make, because you Had To Walk Everywhere."

I am pretty sure everyone can use console commands by just hitting the ` button it was meant to be in there

But, alas, it's there!
Coded into it, as intended by Beth.

You know i'm talking about

Please elaborate.
Well isn't it a surprise, many console commands are used in scripted events!

fast travel doesn't make the game unbalanced. it doesn't affect combat or any of the challenging parts of the game.

• some of us really get a big kick out of walking around, enjoying the panoramic vistas and feeling like we are immersed in this world, discovering new locations as we walk back and forth between various cities.
  
• others don't like walking around as much.
  
• and others enjoy a mix of the two.

where are you on this spectrum? if you don't enjoy walking around, why force yourself not to use fast travel. it's there for anyone who gets bored walking around.

It's not like you're exploiting the game to level up or get a free perk, etc. Either you like walking around or you don't. End of story.

There were a lot of people complaining about the same thing in January and they said essentially that they found it boring to walk around and wanted some sort of fast travel alternative like the carriage system in Morrowind.

Surprise! :celebrate:

The devs went out of their way to make a carriage fast travel system. But it's still not enough?

Yay more whining :violin:

That's a long drawn out way to complain about the compass and fast travel.

Yes we get it, some of you hate fast travel, some of you like it.
Some of you hate the compass, some welcome it.

This is getting old, you can fast travel in Skyrim and it seems the compass is back. Can we give it a rest?

fast travel is different than godmode since it is an actual feature meant for all

and how was godmode not a feature for all PC players?

People whining about "whining" really make me want to whine. What youre calling whining is criticism which is extremely important. Everyone should be able to voice their thoughts about aspects of the game. Also how would Bethesda know what people want if no one "whined"?

"fast travel is different than godmode since it is an actual feature meant for all"
pc players are't the only ones who played oblivion

Godmode is part of an actual feature implemented into the PC version of the game that is purely optional. And all the PC users can type in tgm to mess around with.

....just checked out the Blog.

"Aesthetic Index - WHY I HATE THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY"

Yeah........ :facepalm:


Subtle. "Fair and Balanced?". No hidden agenda here. :shakehead:

You're getting really fixated on this argument. You're just being childish trying to argue this point. You KNOW that god mode is not a canonical part of the game.

The OP is about so much more than fast travel. I'm disappointed that the conversation is hung up on that. The real travesty is the loss of the static world from Morrowind to Oblivion. Instead of fixing the problems with Morrowind's system, Bethesda scrapped it and developed Oblivion's obnoxious level scaling system. Once again they threw out the baby with the bathwater.

Bethesda doesn't learn from game to game. Learning is improving on what you had before. Bethesda has to reinvent the wheel every chance they get.

You're right, there is no hidden agenda, I say it right there in the subtitle. It's a personal blog with no ads and only one writer. It's not fair and balanced, it's opinion pieces. What is your point exactly?

Canonical - According to or ordered by canon law.

Wrong context.

Except they have learned for Skyrim. Or so they claim.

If the OP is just complaining about Oblivion, then it's in the wrong section.

This OP is a lot of flamebaiting anyway, I think it should be locked.

you do know that bethesda's level scaling system has been used since daggerfall. Oblivion didnt invent it they just had it to a greater extent but that was more of a kneejerk reaction to morrowind because in Morrowind you could be a god at level 20, I think that fallout had the right mix though

Dude, get your nose out of the dictionary. He used it correctly. You gave the religious definition of canonical.

Thanks for appreciating my efforts, I appreciate your reading skills. Strange that it's a novelty on the internet. It's not about fast travel it's about the quality of the experience.

So I'm currently playing morrowind and I don't really see what all the hype is about?.and whats with those dam birds good god are they annoying.

A lot of times I won't even use Silt Striders when playing TESIII. But it has to fit roleplay-wise, i.e. my character has to have no money or the driver NPC is gone (due to LCV mod), which makes it much more real. Sometimes it's difficult to find an empty taxi cab and sometimes it's difficult to find an empty silt strider.
I agree with most of what the OP said.
