  • As a guy who likes movies by Baskova unironically, I want to post that quote from the most famous russian trash movie incl. necrophilia and coprophagia called The Green Elephant. It sounds just like him. It’s said by a prison guard who lost his marbles after observing a total moral degradation of arrested soviet soldiers in caprivity circa 1980s:

    I am on a horse. You are on a white horse, and I am on a white horse. And then we come to the ball. And then a salute… in our honor. A salute in our honor. First at the parade, and then we will go to the officers’ club. There will be a ball. Beer. Salute. A salute in honor of us. I am a colonel and you are on a white horse. Can you hear me? Look at my uniform! Look at the stars it has! I have never showed it for anyone else. I’ll just show you. Look! This is my dress uniform. I had it made especially for me! Look, don’t be afraid! Shoulder straps? I’ll change them! Here they are, the shoulder straps. Here! The real ones! Do you see? Colonel. I am a colonel. I will wear them to the parade. This is my uniform. The cleanest. Why are you coughing? We’ll go to the officers’ club, drink some beer - and don’t be afraid. I am with a sabre, on a white horse, commanding the parade! I am a colonel! I command the parade! I am with the stars! On the white horse! I am a colonel! I command the parade!

  • I feel like staying in the shadow of Skyrim makes things worse for them. If only they could make a different game, like a TES spin off, to try new things like they did before Morrowind, they’d probably shift their mindset from reiterating and adjusting the same formula ad nauseam to a fewer success. Like, a small 1,5-2y project with a semi-linear action akin to The Dark Messiah of M&M, or a fucking AMID EVIL as a fantasy shooter, but about some lore-important chain of events. They can later reimplement their work on it into a better combat in TES6 and rise some hype about the franchise that is starved from any news by now. Beth have a lot of talents at hand from companies that did shooters they published. They, imho, just need to start small, because Skyrim would tower over them just like Half-Like for Valve unless they break the silence with their Alyx.

    Of all possible scenarios, I want the fight for the Red Mountain. Either the original one against the dwemers with their tech, or an L4D-like one against Dagoth Ur and his blighted punks. They did a lot of performative nods to Morrowind, so why won’t they just go with it?

    I look at Yakuza series and I wish Bethesda would follow their example, with remasters, spin-offs, back-references, side-series and a complete switch of original mechanics just for them to reevaluate what them and Todd want.
