Glad y'all are still posting these here. As much I love the series I'd forget to check the patv site

@oNemesis94o As someone that used to play Morrowind a lot, I only missed some spell & clothing customization options, but I grew used it it pretty quickly. Other than that I liked the streamlining they did quite a bit, I thought it helped the game's flow by cutting down on character management bulk. So it actually was more of an adventure game and less of a character manager, which ultimately made it more fun to actually play.

I really hope they do an episode on Skyrim and the "dumbing down" of RPGs lately

[SenorStocks]

Shit episode, as usual.

Good episode, but the voice sounds a little different... idk why I think it's the same.

I hope you three have a very happy holiday!

@elhaten hehehe. I personally don't think using children as playtesters is a bad idea for many games though, after all, I wouldn't let my kids play Bioshock! Until they're 14 or so.
