Emil Pagliarulo is a hack who deserved to be sacked years ago. Utterly talentless gobshite who has milked the goodwill from writing the Dark Brotherhood Oblivion questline to death.

Dude needed to be fired years ago

The loss of Ken Rolston and Kirkbride and the rise of Emil Pagliarulo is what fucked the elder scrolls writing.

You shouldn’t hand your big epic fantasy world to a guy who couldn’t give a fuck about the lore or stepping on the toes of other writers.

C.A really fly under the radar with the general gaming community but their shitty behaviour is up there with the worst cunts in the industry.

Any product that releases in such a poor state and expects full price definitely deserves the hate. The game was unplayable on half the platforms it released on for months.

“A kind of Fable - Black and White - Dungeon Keeper kind of experience”

Three remarkably different games there. Ol lyin Pete just wanted to mention the greatest hits to drum up interest in his nft nonsense.

Their biggest, most consistent fault isn’t bugs orjank, it’s the stale as fuck writing. They desperately need the hand the reigns to some new talent in that area.

It feels like they’ve been incapable of writing a compelling narrative with interesting characters for decades now.

Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it’s a broken mess to the point where it’s best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

I’ve played and finished every mainline non MMO FF game and hated everything after 10, so I wasn’t exactly hopeful that I would enjoy it.

It’s the 5th best in the series for me after having finished it a couple weeks ago. I used to think the loss of Sakaguchi is what killed my love for FF but now I realise it was the lack of well written likeable characters that did it.

I will say one thing though, while a great game it’s not much of an rpg. There’s pretty much no variety in how you build Clive.

I want it to be good for all my friends who have an Xbox but a darker side of me is also relishing the YouTube content should it be a broken mess.

The decision to drop the FF characters was such a huge mistake

There’s still a pirate shaped hole in the playstation market though.
