And that’s the biggest issue. It tried too hard to be both an MMO and a single player game sequel to KOTOR 2 that it failed spectacularly at both. By the time the Eternal Empire DLCs came out, the damage was already done.
I wish TOR had been a good game. You know I would have RPed the frick out of an Old Republic Star Wars setting. But TOR flopped and it’s really disheartening.
At least TES has enough similar metaphysical themes to explore those topics in RP in ESO
I never played New Vegas but from what I hear it’s a very good game. And Chris Avellone wrote it.
I still prefer TES though. Hit me with that Visiting Breton lore.
For reference, in ESO there’s the Omen of Betrayal, a Daedric being that enters people’s dreams and compels them to commit acts of betrayal. It’s known by the Argonians as the Egg Terror, the Grey Dream to the Altmer — and the Visiting Breton to the Orcs lmao
I’d definitely recommend ESO if only for the story and the lore. It got a bad rap at launch but unlike SWTOR they went “you know what you’re right” and got their act together.
Now it contributes some of the best TES lore to the setting.
Agony?
Your hatred burns through the cavernous deeps?
As for etiquette, not really? Not sure how it works there, but if it’s made clear that you’ve got work to go to in the morning, but you’re sick, he’ll write you a sick note to be delivered to your employee.
Having read stuff like this in Discords; Argent Dawn’s and from other games as well, it’s just painfully true.
It’s also a means of validation to some, as anyone with two semi functional brain cells and a bloated ego will quickly realize they can stack the odds on their side and so provide themselves with back-patting ad nauseam.
