The Elder Scrolls Redguard is an Experience

Ойындар

I'm checking out The Elder Scrolls Adventures Redguard for the first time! How does this third person action game from 1998 hold up? Fine I suppose.

    This was of the era. Sound files are huge and they HAD to be compressed to hell, just to fit in the game. I mean, they only 700mb CD. In comparison, oblivion voiced dialog took up 2/3 of the DVD-9 disc. And that was 8.9GB of space. Idk what the limitations were for morrowind because they did have DVD-R. Which has about 4.7GB. So I can easily imagine they could only fit NPC barks and a few voiced characters.

    I’d like it if they implemented a system where the more dubious and shady shopkeepers of the world would buy stolen items from you if you influence or bribe them enough. Now, I’m not talking about all shopkeepers, just the more seedy ones of certain areas. It would just be nice if after you’ve shopped and talked with a merchant enough they’d start to notice you more and offer you more special/unique items (items that they wouldn’t normally sale to you before, like these special maybe one off items wouldn’t even show up in their inventory until you had a high enough affinity with them) and deals once they know and trust you. I just think that would make the merchants far more interesting and personal, instead of just being the same old generic sellers. It makes the world feel way more authentic and lived in.

    I have Reduard on GOG but I've not played it yet. It looks fun, albeit janky af. I know that in Michael Kirkbride's out-of-game writings, Cyrus beats both Tiber Septim and Vivec in single combat, then goes to the moon in a boat propelled by farting slug people tied to the hull. No, I'm not making that up. And the 17th Lesson of Vivec in Morrowind has a line about the "spiked waters at the edge of the map" which is a reference to a graphical glitch with the water in this game. Kirkbride's writing is completely bonkers. Also, Stros M'kai was the starting zone for the Daggerfall Covenant in ESO. It actually looks pretty similar to in this game.

I love the story and Cyrus is a great character and there is a lot of new and exiting lore in this so it is good in my book. but the controls are the only bad thing I'm going to say about it. I got used to them by the second playthrough and then it wasn't a problem and I could really see the Todd Howard's vision in this game.

    Can and string were used to collect the sound. The string was tied to a dull No. 2 pencil suspended over a seismograph’s paper roll. Each mark was measured with a faded ruler and entered by hand into an audio file by an unpaid intern using a keyboard sticky from an old beer spill. Then the audio file was compressed and written to a cd. The cd got dusty while waiting to be used for the final game, so the intern had to clean it by putting it in a dish washer. Finally, the audio files were read from the disk and added to the game. State of the art in 1998.

    While clearly outdated, this game does fascinate me. The idea of a swashbuckling adventure set in the Elder scrolls universe sounds awesome. I might check this out sometime, maybe just for the lore itself XD Also, fun fact! There was a planned sequel involving the "Eye of Argonia" but it was never released. I guess they planned for the adventures part of the name to be its own little separate series, which would have been kinda cool.

It's also got the First Edition of the Pocket Guide to the Empire, which is great for lorebeards such as myself. But the execution...wasn't the greatest. I actually do hope they try something like it again.

    The way Cyrus runs reminds me of how Connor from King's Quest 8 - Mask of Eternity runs. Funnily enough I played both MoE and Morrowind at the same time, and I ended up thinking the Mask and Dagoth Ur were somehow connected. Both had some pretty similar imagery all around, so...huh. Also, this is the only game with a living, interactable Sload. You can meet N'gasta from the critically acclaimed book 'N'gasta! Kvata! Kvakis!' near the end of the game. He's an ugly bastard and interacting with him is enough to make one glad his kind's figured to be extinct. Maybe you'll check him out? I'onno. Keep up the stuff, Micky.

    I remember the game demo from a game CD. The game puts you in the port, zero instructions or what to do. Just wander around and if someone attacks, you kill 'em. Can't remember if it had a timer that just counted down to end the game or if you manage to get to a certain point in the story. Had no idea it was an Elder Scrolls game, just called "Redguard".

    Between this and something like Battlespire or Daggerfall, I definitely prefer this style of Elder Scrolls. That said though I live for the fact that modern Elder Scrolls is first person. Not that third person games aren't fun, but I find the first person RPG way more immersive. That said, this game feels a bit more like the Elder Scrolls games we know today. It would be cool to see some combination of this format and the old format of Daggerfall though.
