Yeah a lot of these fuck ups are largely, if not entirely on Vince just because he either didn't like them, didn't get the appeal or thought they were too small to be believable. I don't think we're gonna get any other disasters on that level now because, frankly, NXT is Triple HHH's baby so stars called up are by and large gonna get something to do.

I get the criticism of Ilja constantly losing, I DO get it. I think the issue has largely been that he's been locked down in this feud with Bron, who WWE have obviously decided to push to the moon FIRST (which I think is the right choice), and they don't want him to beat Bron (YET). Hopefully he gets to feud with someone else soon so he can get some wins under his belt, maybe this new heel Pete Dunne?

There's also the fact I know a lot of these people don't want to acknowledge. Ilja's a small guy, great as he might be in the ring or as a character, they can't realistically push him as dominantly on the main roster as he was as NXT champion. There's a reason they're drawing comparisons between him and Sami Zayn, he's being portrayed as an underdog who is going to have to scratch and claw for everything.

And that is another reason I do believe he WILL be the one to take the IC title from Bron (ala Sami vs Gunther), so that Bron can then move on to the top of the card, 'cause Sami was in a similar position of constant losses just a few years ago. Granted I hope it doesn't take YEARS to get to that point (Wrestlemania next year would be a good time to pull the trigger) but it's gonna be a steady process, not an overnight thing.
 

Cooler’s Big Green voice is unreal

TFS has nothing on this dub

ha
 
I always enjoyed the fact that by just doing shit in oblivion and morrowind you end up becoming this absolute fucking monster of a character, making broken enchants, becoming fucking immune to damage. An unkillable god like existence

meanwhile in skyrim you gotta abuse bugs and glitches to do half that shit
 
Master Enchanting, Archery and Smithing

From there, it’s your choice between Light or Heavy Armor, and One-Handed or Two-Handed.

No matter what, your a god walking among men that can deal with anything the game throws at you, no bugs or exploits needed

 
One thing I will say, I hate how nerfed a Mage is in Skyrim

Thankfully, Kingdoms of Amalur fixed that if you want an RPG where you feel like Archmage that makes reality itself bend to your will

 
I know speed hasn't really been necessary as a stat since morrowinds super slow characters but I will never forgive the removal of athletics from skyrim, turning into this building leaping sonic running potatoe gremlin in oblivion was so much fun.
 
Magic systems in general in modern gaming seem to lean into the simplification trappings. Which reminds me, Fables one of the weirdest examples of simplifying generational game design because fable one was arguably the single most advanced game in the series. Each entry going forward would further simplify the entire game, removing proper bosses, several spells, armor entirely. They fucking cut mana as a concept and the removal of revival vials means theres basically no consequence to death. You just die until you eventually win.
 
Yeah but its not the same as literally standing there watching enemies take damage from attacking you because you have over 100% reflect going on
 
What really takes skyrim down is the removal of unarmed

Why the fuck would you not give me the ability to become the strongest monk in existence. Why the fuck do I need to wear HEAVY armor as a monk
