EverQuest but not EverQuest.

[Jauna]

So I started playing Oblivion again.
Dark Elf
Warrior sign and Class
Str/end/willpower
Skills to focus on but not major skills because im not dumb this time around to get fucked by Oblivion's level scaling:
blade, heavy armor, restoration, alchemy, armorer and potatoe.

Do you do EverQuesty stuff in other games?

[Mblake1981]

Yes, I have.

EQ has a bard class though, also dark elves have ultravision (when night mattered) and lizards have +100 swim skill. I could find a cloak from a named Pegasus to fly around.

Teleport myself and others around to rings or spires. Stripping the RPG elements out makes me frown, being replaced by fast travel.

Gnomish Zeppelins?

EQ was like my proto-game, afterwards I kept trying to recreate my dark elf rogue in every other RPG that would let me get even close.

I spent a lot of time trying to make Skyrim dark elves less Neanderthal and more Neriak

I mean, honestly, no. I’ve always tried to leave EQ with EQ and the thought of branching a 20 year MMO out into other hobbies fills me with a profound sense of loathing for entertaining the thought. It’s not a good game. It’s a chat room with moving percentage bars you can whack from 100 to 0. It’s designed to be as additive as possible and I believe much of the game’s appeal can be attributed to gambling, not gaming, addiction which is enabled by a whole community of equally addicted shut ins eager to substitute each other for their lack of meaningful IRL relationships.
