Yes, I know that ESO came out after those games and all that other stuff.
But what is the lore/in world explanation for why the Three Alliance War or Planemeld are not even mentioned in the other games?
Or the other stuff.
And do you think TESVI will mention them?
I recently made a post about how it's not a very replayable event so I wanted to follow that up with a discussion on how it could be improved.
For me personally? Add more lore and actual story quests that explore the story of each of the factions. They got a lot of potential for it.
The reason I loved the Heart's week event was that while it had only a few quests, each was incredibly well written with great characters and interesting scenarios and lore.
And the Night Market would greatly benefit from that.
Another thing that would greatly benefit are better rewards, especially if you are gonna do all the bosses again, more varied daily quests and also better explanations on how the mechanics work because me and a lot of other people had to research that outside of the game on youtube before we fully got it.
Especially when it comes to the fragments.
Overall though even with it's faults, it's a pretty fun event with interesting new mechanics but it needs more refining if it's gonna become a regular thing.
I am currently tied between Bioshock 1 and 2s full upgraded shotguns.
I slightly prefer 1s because I just love the pump but it's close.
I can tell you the one I like the least is that crappy one in Burial at Sea part 2 which for some reason holds only two rounds and takes forever to reload.
Don't ask me how he got married, I would have an easier time explaining black holes than answering that.
Either way, this is just pathetic.
Then again, it IS The Critical Drinker. Man can't write well to save himself from his midlife crisis.
Like I got the keys, finished the Opulent Trial. The whole process was pain and grinding and thats it?
There is pretty much no story, barely any lore outside of some lorebooks scattered about, the NPCs all just repeat the same dialogue.
Outside of grinding for some loot that may or may not drop, why do it all again after this? Where is the replayability?
Don't get me wrong, it was fun the first time even if it was pain at times. But why go through all the Argent, Gilded and then Opulent enemies just for some loot?
Is the loot even that good? I looked it up and it didnt seem to be anything that special.
I am also not a fan of a lot of the bosses, especially the Gilded ones. They seem quite spongy and use some messy tactics to win. Especially the fateline boss.
Argent enemies are just spongy as hell too.
Really the whole event is done and done the first time for me.
I got the cool house fully upgraded, I got the trophies, I got the dungeons all marked. But thats it.
It's fun. But only once. Can't imagine doing the whole process again.
For me? Definitely The Thousand Eyes.
I am a massive lore nerd so having a faction based on knowledge is already my favorite.
I also love the colors and the overall mad mage cave type aesthetic they have going on.
Also Molto and Melandir are the funniest and most interesting characters overall.
But most importantly of all I think their values are strongest. Gold and fighting IMO pale in comparison to the search of knowledge.
Sorry if this is gonna be negative but seriously, barely anyone knows the mechanics and doesn't even bother learning them.
And instead they run around like headless chickens not knowing what to do.
Even after you explain the mechanics in the chat, multiple times.
I don't know how it is for other people but for me? I have yet to finish this trial because so many people dont know what to do even after multiple explanations.
Also leaving after only 1 wipe is pretty crappy and it happens often.
The trial itself is fine but I think it exposes just how many players don't even think about what they are doing and just wanna kill enemies.
Seriously, that game is honestly bad.
I am usually very lenient when it comes to games but this is something else.
Wolfenstein Youngblood has terrible bullet spongy gameplay and a terrible story that also skips the most important part of the timeline.
Seriously hoping they retcon that game out of existence.
This can include things like afterlife from all the different pantheons and also the different oblivion realms too.
Seriously, heavy armor builds are so good in all the games.
And usually the heavy armor also looks the best IMO.
Love me some wholesome Bioshock content given how rare it is.

No, seriously, they don't seem to be anywhere near as big as they once were.
And way more people online are calling them out on their BS including the likes of Th3Birdman etc.
Also this image I found of them made me realize just how cringe most of their profile pics really are.
Especially Rags with those stupid glasses which he still unironically uses like it's the mid 2010s. Or Mauler's keyhole which makes it look like he was contained. To be fair he probably was.
There was quite a bit of buzz around it but I want to know just what are your thoughts on the updates?
Did you like them etc.?
