From two of the guys who worked on some of the original Elder Scrolls games, comes a TES-but-not-TES game that takes the Daggerfall approach to world building, but with modern game design.

Not saying i'm super super super excited, but since it's been 14 years since Skyrim and still no new TES game, we might as well.

The Wayward Realms on Steam

Under the direction of Ted Peterson and Julian LeFay, lead developers of the team behind the original Elder Scrolls, Arena and Daggerfall, OnceLost Games is creating a new open-world fantasy RPG where choice and consequence are experienced on a scale never attempted before.

Looks like its worth trying out to me. Every time I try to go back and play Oblivion or Skyrim its become extremely apparent how clunky and outdated the gameplay, control mechanics and overall gameplay feel is.

If they can capture the atmosphere of elder scrolls while delivering modern, good-feel gameplay and control mechanics I'm in.

No interest in AI generated content for me. Generic, boring, nonsensical, illogical content isn't what is fun for me.

that's not exactly AI-Generated slop. That's AI-awesomeness.

Frankly i thought he was referring to the video, as there's far too many videos on YT that are completely AI generated; but, AI to customize quests?? that doesn't seem like something we don't want, the opposite.
Dude, DAGGERFALL had procedurally-generated game elements. We have the modern equivalent.

Yeah that's literally the kind of content I've been waiting for AI to be capable of performing. Give me AI generated quests based on my completed quests and the events taking place in the world. Have the AI send the brother of the man I killed at me as vengeance, etc.
