Tamriel Rebuilt

The intention of re-opening this discussion was to determine how feasible a rescale is and how exactly it would be done, not to debate whether it should be done or not. Gotta love the Chewbacca Defense! :D No, there isn't any way to stretch terrain (barring an external tool along the lines of TesFai...

The problem is, putting aside lore scaling, Hammerfell is SMALLER than Cyrodiil. And when people make landmass mods, "epic" invariably goes through their minds.

No, the actual scaling a particular project goes for doesn't matter much, as long as you can't see the edge of the worldspace! Oblivion's draw distance is great, but inadvertently causes problems for modders.

Well, yes, that's going to be done anyway, but the whole point of this idea is to make Cyrodiil larger to match them.

That wasn't recruiting, it was an allusion to an obscure parody comic. I realised later no-one else would remember it. :lol: As for the cut-n-paste idea, that could work but might have problems. Every time there's a beautifully rolling hill done by Beth it's going to be messed up by having either a ...

The lack of TesFaith is a little disappointing, but not as devastating as it would have been for Morrowind. Between heightmaps and SpeedTree much of the raw landscaping can be done in days or weeks instead of months. Anyway, first of all come the towns, where it's easy to just remove the borders and...

Just like TR we've discussed other provinces' scales already and largely burned out. This thread was a fresh take on the concept by looking at Cyrodiil only, with the idea that a united standard would help resolve the indecision of the various projects as to what scale to use. The problem is not onl...

We're certainly not expecting TR nor any other modding team to conform to this standard (Beyond Cyrodiil teams likely will, but their leaders are pretty much all for it anyway). All we're wanting is as many modders as possible to help create the definitive version of Cyrodiil. If other teams end up ...

No, it's because these are original copies, and aren't always marked down. In comparison I can buy shovelware rereleases of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Neverwinter Nights for about NZ$14-20. It seems the shops simply don't lower their prices very much when a game gets older, but once a shovelwa...

The manual is a giveaway, but the map really helps. You wouldn't believe how long I spent trying to find my way back to the Shrine of Azura (I didn't want to use any walkthroughs etc.). And when I got GOTY, there it is on the map. Right on the freakin' map! I love the map. It's like a security blank...

Well, yeah, there's a $10 version here in NZ, but you really don't want that one, not when the coolest mods (Pegas Ranch!) require one or both expansions. It doesn't even come with a map or manual for cryin' out loud, only a crappy PDF copy. I guess that's what you get for trying to squeeze a deep g...

Sounds like a good plan! Make sure he gets Game of the Year, far more value for money. Last time I looked EB was selling the expansions for $60 EACH, compared to Harvey Norman's $60 GOTY copy.

No, nothing like it. A new game is NZ$100, and a CE is $110. Xbox 360 games start out at $110 to begin with IIRC. So $80 isn't much of a drop considering the game's age. Anyway, you should be able to find a copy at Hardly Normal, er, Harvey Norman for $60. That's where I got mine. Well worth it IMO....
