I haven't played Morrowind, but I hear that you can connect to an enemy with a hit, and then a die roll determines whether that actually happens. It seems to me that while such a feature would be good for making a character with their own unique strengths, it would be damaging to the immersion required to inhabit that character. Thus, immersion building features that make the character do what the player does, can easily be considered roleplaying features.

The reason that covid would benefit from evolving to be less deadly is that people don't want a deadly disease and take steps to prevent it. But people don't care about long covid, and that means there isn't an evolutionary pressure for long covid to get less severe. I think covid is going to be our generation's equivalent to lead poisoning until we take it seriously.
Keep in mind the fact that the slow vaccine rollout gave the virus the chance to multiply in poor countries and develop vaccine resistance, which then fucked everyone else too. If everyone in the world had been vaccinated quickly, we could have wiped out covid and we wouldn't be dealing with long covid brain damage and immune system compromise now. These patents have killed millions of people and will continue to ruin millions of lives. There is blood on the hands of these people on a scale greater than any terrorist attack, and they knew full well the consequences.
Undertale is a game about how children who are beaten shouldn't hit back.
Also no patents for covid vaccines. There are third world countries that have the local industry to make vaccines, but they have to pay Astrazeneca for shots instead of making their own because Bill Gates wanted to protect the value of his government funded pharmaceutical investments.
People can use skins to show that they're fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.
It's like wearing a costume to Comicon.
That's what hack and slash means? I thought it was a game where you hack and slash
If Zelda is an RPG then so is Halo. Master Chief and Link both have exactly the same number of thoughts in their heads. I would argue Halo ODST is more of an RPG than any Zelda game.
TES definitely focuses on story over action. Those games have much better lore than combat
Why isn't 2018 GOW hack and slash?
No luck catching that murderer, then?
That's not true. That's like saying "If we had refrigerators, we could keep food good forever". As you know, food in the fridge can still go bad, because no technology is perfect. I think that terraforming technology will be an extension of techniques we can use on earth today, like controlling emissions. And that saving earth from apocalypse is the best possible practice we could have for fixing other planets. There is no magic "fix everything" button. Even with the right technology, you still have to do the work. Today, we have the right technology to save Earth, and what determines the continued survival of the human species is whether it is capable of doing the work.
