can you name one memorable thing about TESO? because i sure fucking can't

I'm hearing on twitter and reddit that TESO is basically dead. They were in the midst of a major refactor of all the classes and races to modernize everything and welp, everyone important or useful is gone. The game might get some thumbed in expansions going forward but I bet it's basically in maintenance mode until it's closed down in a few years.

Remember, the woman doing this is a jeet. TESO is going to get a jeet put in charge of it and the company's gonna be gutted. It's the same thing they've done every other company they've taken over, and now they have Microsoft -> XBox -> Countless substudios to izzat farm.

Just how fucking bloated was the development team of ESO that they would just lay off a quarter of the work force for what, from what I always heard at least, was one of their more successful/profitable cash cows?

Microsoft management is jeets all the way down now. AI will be doing the needful in programming, modeling, texture generation, design, and writing from here on out, saar.

How should you respond?​

If an Indian colleague says this to you, do not reply with, "What exactly do you want me to do?" (That will frustrate them).

Instead, just do the obvious next steps, and reply with:

"The needful is done. The client is installed, and the team is briefed. Please let me know if you need anything else."

Using the phrase back to them will earn you major respect and show that you "get" their work culture!

Running through and waiting around in empty Dungeons with other low levels and no enmeies because they'd been cleared already and took forever to respawn.

Getting stuck in animations like wood cutting and being able to run around while chopping air then getting disconnected from the server.

Being followed around for half an hour by some random begging to party up, despite them being like 50 levels higher than me, after telling them no. "Cmon dude please? It'll be fun I promise. I can help you get awesome loot and shit, man. Please?".

Every class I tried feeling like a spell sword in training.

Character customization letting me choose how tall my character is, and every race having their own min and max height settings. I actually do genuinely like this. It's a nice touch.

everyone had a preset height and the same min/max deviation on sliders, and fell into 3 categories
tall - nords, altmer
midget - wood elves
mid - everything else
also save for beast races and fringe height cases (bosmer) you will not be able to tell what race or class someone is if they're fully armored as everyone has the exact same body shape and can use whatever armor/weapon transmog
bosmer mage rocking full plate and dual axes? sure, why the fuck not

Skyrim is astonishingly playable from beginning to end with a character between 3 to 4 feet tall. I played a wood elf last time I played. Made him short and round like a cannon ball. Never witnessed any game mechanics break on account of height. NPCs even looked down on him during conversations. Only mods installed were some race/character creation mod among some other QoL ones. None were geared toward tiny player characters. Makes me wonder why smaller characters weren't ever added to the game to begin with.
