messed the shit out of the op, not entirely sure what the fuck I did there
I move that OP is a goof.
The floor is open.
>>47618136
I like it. Twice the OP.
Besides silly mistakes are what make us people.
Reminder that TES VI is now confirmed to be not in Hammerfell
What are some little roleplaying things that you do? Those tiny details that you add, that you don't have to but add that little bit of immersion.
>>47618182
He never actually said that, or even implied it. Just dodged it by asking why we obsess over it and how he can't see much happening.
>>47618191
I don't grab everything that isn't nailed down to make quick coin
Apparently that's an uncommon choice
>>47618216
Which might as well be code for "It's not happening'
>>47618429
He talked about in /fog/ that he wanted to introduce crafting systems based off his blacksmithing game, with endgame weapons requiring the player to do stuff like use alteration to direct lava flows into some magic forge and stuff. That sounds dwemer, which sounds like Hammerfell.

I do this very often, in pretty much all the games. It makes me feel more involved with my character's journey.
>>47618191
I like to carry little basic things, like plates and forks, a few books, and for Oblivion and Skyrim, I always have a hunger mod.
>>47618714
I doubt that would make into the final project, and even then, saying that confirms Hammerfell is a stretch.
>>47618801
You never know
Since Bethesda kind of admitted they just use the wiki for lore anyway having trainwiz on board might make a lot of things good
>>47618827
We can change the Wiki to make A Loveletter from the 5th Era canon in the next game, then?
>>47618863
Pretty sure they use UESP, which requires official sources

Everything MK writes, while not canon to TES as a whole, is absolutely canon to TES 3: Morrowind.
>>47622092
Wasn't there a theory that Dwemer Brass isn't actual brass ?
>>47622473
He's memeing
>>47621339
>>47622299
Well its hard to have a concise account of what happens through someones biased perception in a lore book.
Even In-game lore is questionable sometimes due to limitations. (cities with 30 people in them, you know what I mean)
Even if you don't like MK he writes alot of the more interesting lore that alot of times gets scrapped for the LOTR-esque in-game.
>>47622787
Oblivion was really more on the LOTR side because the LOTR movies came out and lots of people at Bethesda were still excited about it.mthe books might be less hot shit today, but a lot of the old nerds at Bethesda grew up wih the books for sure.
>>47618714

Come on now
Gonna ask the same question again
I'm recreating Mournhold inMinecraft
This means I can change stuff and make it different from the ingame version. What changes do you recommend I apply? I'm already planning to add more market stands to the Great Bazaar, and turn the plaza Brindisi Dorom into a lower class residential district
>>47623037
>Todd trying to save face
>>47623040
Check Tamriel Rebuilt's Mournhold, they currently scrapped it to make it even better, but you can still download it and explore it, to get some ideas.
>>47623116
I'm making Mournhold only, not all of Almalexia. Does TR change anything in Mournhold?
What race could best an Orc?
>>47623152
Double Orc
>>47623134
Yes, they make it bigger or something, to include it in the world map.
>>47623033
Anyone?
>>47623164
The additions outside are Almalexia. Mournhold is the inner city, and it's the only thing I'm recreating.
>>47623033
Dagerfall is approx. the size of England, go from there.
There's some pretty interesting stuff on Skyrim's word walls
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Word_Wall (check the translations)
>>47623445
A village called Vundeheim is mentioned, which was presumably located near High Gate Ruins or Forelhost.
>>47618191
I like to try to keep logs of my adventures. Write a in-character diary, or something like that.
Usually I stop doing it after a while, but it's a great way to get really into a character.
>>47619070
>UESP
By the way, does anyone know how easy it is to add to UESP? I've kind of been thinking about fixing/adding some stuff related to Arena and Daggerfall come summer.
>>47622299
That's stupid.
>>47622517
>>47622473
It's brass or some similar metal treated with tonal architecture. There's no magical rare Dwemer metal.
>>47623893
It's just like any other wiki, I don't think you need an account.
>>47623152

Nords, Redguards and Bretons are the most obvious examples

Who's the Hoar Father? He's referenced seven times by various walls.
>>47624425

Huh. Thats a neat little word I just learned today
>>47624501
glad I'm not the only one who had to look it up
>>47624560
>>47624501
Personally I had to look it up when I saw the staff of Hoarfrost.
>>47624456
Could be. It would be a nice fit with the word "Hoar".
Obviously it could mean hoar as in grey haired, wisdom from your elders and Clever Men. So maybe the Hoar Father is winter, and "living through" winter(s) is comparable to saying "a long life as taught me".
I find it kind of fun, because it reminds me of a expression we have in Norwegian. Saying that "I've been out a winter night before" can be used to say you have some experience. You've done this before, or you have done a lot of things and gotten some life experience.
>>47624597
You're Norwegian? How hard is it to immigrate over there if you are a white Americlap?

>>47624768
Getting attacked in your sleep is fine, Morrowind did it and it wasn't that annoying, but the catastrophic event is not.
>>47624646
I wouldn't know, but I think it's rather easy.
>>47624785
Well, Skyrim's skin tone options actually allow you to make Bretons that look like Nords. The darkest nords look darker than the lightest redguards.
>>47624804
those dark brotherhood edgelords keep shanking me when I'm just trying to restore my magicka or level up
not very polite of them
>>47624817
Bretons and Nords have the same skin color. What are you even on about?
>>47624860
Pretty sure nords are just a tiny bit whiter than bretons

I just disable Tribunal until I'm about level 10. Getting Dark Brotherhood armor at level 1 is pretty overpowered, considering just how much stronger it is than even the heavy armor you'll be grabbing and it sells for a hefty price.
>>47625357
There's a mod to fix that.
>>47618191
You know how in Oblivion there was usually some sort of brazier outside of every fort or dungeon? I'd drop a gemstone in there as an offering of good luck.

>/pol/posting.
>Aspiring to be a Nord.

>>47625733
Bored? Nah, there'd be a dungeon every few feet or so.
By the time you go there, you'd have cleared out at least 30 haunted graveyards, 22 abandoned forts, fought about 4 different vampire clans, and probably traded some gear at 5 different villages.
>>47626491
>By the time you go there
You'll have done all of that and more before you reach Anticlere.
>"When my father's harem burned down and our family fortune was lost to the ashes"
>Harem (pronounced [haˈɾem], Turkish, from Arabic: حرم ḥaram "forbidden place; sacrosanct, sanctum", related to حريم ḥarīm, "a sacred inviolable place; female members of the family" and حرام ḥarām, "forbidden; sacred") refers to the sphere of women in what is usually a polygynous household and their enclosed quarters which are forbidden to men.
Was their fortune women? Did the women burn down?
>>47626609
Harem as in Sanctum in this case.
>>47626645
>>47626700
Probably. I just find the idea of somehow having woman-based finances kind of amusing.
Or, at the very least, it's more amusing that the more likely explanation, which is that whoever wrote this just thought "The Khajiit are desert people, right? Let's just give them some ARABIAN NIGHTS", and figured that harems is something that sandpeople have.
>>47623033
It's in-game scale is a bit smaller than Great Britain, but the time-scale and fast-travel duration implies that it is much larger than is even presented.
What non-alcoholic drinks could Dunmer have, except trama root tea and conberry juice?
>>47627352
aren't comberries bitter?
Anyways, I bet hackle-lo-leaf, stoneflower petals and corkbulb roots would also make for good teas
>>47627428
They are, but Dunmer are probably into it.
>Anyways, I bet hackle-lo-leaf, stoneflower petals and corkbulb roots would also make for good teas
I imagine they can also make teas out of insects and mushrooms.
And there's also guar 'milk'.
>>47627428
I assume they're not too bitter because they are used in baked goods and wine. Perhaps they taste similar to cranberries.
>>47627428
Hackle-Lo or more like a collard green, from what I recall. Be more like drinking spinach juice.
As for Corkbulb, that's more related to trees. I'm not sure if tree roots make good teas or not.
>>47627352
I'd imagine imported things like actual tea, or maybe milk and mead in the places around Skyrim.
It's fairly realistic for them to not have as much variety, since most places tend to have limited amounts of things that aren't from another place. In the US, for example, if you went on solely native food, you'd just have venison, buffalo, corn, potatoes, okra, squash, all depending on the region, but with trade we have things like coffee and bananas. Which is part of the reason the Empire is actually a good thing.
>>47626491
really? are caves and such that easy to encounter?
>>47627569
Have you played Daggerfall? It makes Skyrim look barren.
>>47627567
What did they drink before the Empire came then?
Strictly speaking it's only tea of it's made from camellia sinensis. Any infusion of decoction made from other plant material is tisane.Or that's how it works here.
>>47627600
No, I haven't, but I thought that given its size and view distance, it would be hard to come across the little hillocks that represent caves or dungeons.
TR has Sweetpulp Juice.
With all the volcanic activity in Morrowind they probably have quite a number of mineral water springs.
>>47627641
Interesting, I'll try to remember this.
>>47627629
Everything you see except Flin, Mead, and Cyrodillic Brandy. Maybe water if they were really poor.
I remember somebody asking about the demographics of Cyrodil, so I looked it up, and Imperials only make up 27% of Cyrodiil, with the next highest being a tie between Bretons and Nord at 10%.
In Skyrim, Nords, if you count elders, make up over half the populations, with the next highest two being Bretons and Imperials at 10%.
>>47628104
Nice, where did you find this?
>>47623049
>no sauce
No anon, you are the todd
>>47627723
It's not important, certainly not here and now, but I just thought I'd point it out.
There's a good deal of confusion/misinformation when it comes to tea. My nearest tea store has tons of things that are just straight up mislabeled.
>>47627776
I'm sure water would also have to do with where you live. Sure, it's a "poor man's" drink in a sense, but there's no problems drinking it in most rural places. But in cities, where sanitation is worse, drinking water is much more likely to make you sick.
>>47628163
So, Vivec most likely has shit water?
>>47628144
UESP has demographics

>>47628214
>Bosmer are the most common in the Shivering Isles
Not surprising in the slightest.
>>47628210
In the sea where the city waste is dumped? Sure. But there's probably some kind of water supplying system coming in from the island.
Also, water in all likelihood could be magically cleansed.
>>47628210
Isn't all the sewage dumped straight into the water?
>>47628104
Bretons are actually 12%.
>>47624986
The factions are indeed stupid, but pointing out the inconsistencies with the lore will have a hoard of fanboys trying to scream you down. Someone in Bethesda has to think the Argonian-Dunmer-Nord alliance is fucking retarded, hell look in real life where you have Dindus still embittered over their ancestors having to do a little decent work. Those feelings of bitterness from centuries of ethic warfare and race slavery don't just evaporate overnight no matter how much Tumblr would like to think otherwise.
>>47624994
Altmer spotted! Khajiit only joined the Dominion because they felt sorry for you.
>>47628238
>>47628214
>>47628213
Thanks, it's very interesting
>>47625111
Only one that I don't like is assassinations in your sleep, and maybe the dragon apocalypse thing because that puts a time limit on your sandbox.
I would love to have to treat enemy factions like enemy factions when I chose to do the Civil War quest, and I'd love to find a way to make food and taverns meaningful. I don't even sleep in Skyrim, did you know that? I don't need to for leveling up or anything. I just wait somewhere until it's day.

>Bretons or Nords
>Besting an Orc
>>47624994
Honestly? I think they are. Bretons have probably done a bit more mixing with the Redguards and Imperials, while Nords are content to stay more or less isolated.
>>47628676
Historically speaking, Bretons and Redguards have been bending Orc's over more than any other race.
Nords also threw a pretty good curse at them.
>>47621601
I do this. A friend says that in games like skyrim and oblivion which are in crisis it makes sense to do so.
>>47628776
What does that have to do with their skin color? Even if that were true the Nords would have just as much Imperial mixing, and since I'd imagine Bretons would tend to be the fathers and the Redguards mothers, the children would be Redguards.
Here, I'll post the official picture of a Breton, and then one of a Nord.
>>47629124
>>47628776
And as you can see, it's the same skin tone, although the Nords to have lighter hair and this one has blue eyes.
>>47629004
A berton can't best an Orc
>>47618191
In skyrim I give followers some money after quests, like a cut of the profits and give them money for helping me out.The gold goes nowhere, but I do like role-playing a relationship going on.

>>47623033
In Arena they listed how far somewhere was in KM before you traveled. I think it's about the size Australia last time I checked.
>>47629154
But they do, pretty regularly. In fact, orcish tears tend to be used as solute for potions, since it makes them age better.
>>47628210

They should also be the second tallest race then.
What's the better necromancy spell - Summon Skeleton Squad or Bound Bonewalker Brigade?
>>47629432
Bonewalkers. Those zombie fuckers have the damage strength spell, so a gang of them against a sword fight would render him impotent, against a mage would wreck him since he wouldn't be able to dodge, and destroy a thief for both reasons.
>>47629432

>Someone in Bethesda has to think the Argonian-Dunmer-Nord alliance is fucking retarded
I think it probably only came about because of geographical location. And taking into account the Daggerfall alliance, I forget what it's really called, and the Dominion, the Ebonheart pact is the only group of three left to have. Doesn't mean it's not stupid, it is, but having an alliance split on either side of a continent is stupid too, so I can only assume it was the lesser of two evils as far as the devs were concerned.
I'd rather the game not exist but I suppose it's not as bad as Swtor.
>>47630450
I suppose it's not as close to vanilla as upscaled vanilla textures, but it still looks better than that shit. But this is a lore discussion and we are dangerously close to waifushit right now.

Objectively wrong. Vanilla Morrowind faces were in most cases each painted from scratch, MacKom uses a single fucking texture with minor details changed for every race/sex combination, which results in an artificial sameface look. But if you want your NPCs to look like they are Fyr's another cloning experiment then more power to you I guess.
>the most offensive insult that hummies can think up for mer is "knife ears"
Surely you can do better
>>47630982
And if you want disproportionate downy faces I am fine with that too.
>>47629568
Just Better Bodies. I've grown too fond of the vanilla faces.
>>47631010
>The most offensive term elves can come up with sounds like something a toddler would say.
>>47631121
I rather liked this guy's >>47630605 axe dragger.
>>47631202
That's more for Nords, though. It doesn't quite work for Imperials, Bretons, or Redguards, but it could even work for Orcs.

Once again, it doesn't quite encompass all of humanity. One could call an Altmer a piss-skin, or a Bosmer a Merlet, but that doesn't encompass all Mer.
>>47631519
>kiddo, half-life
>>47631519
Mankeys
Barbarians
Corpse maggots
>>47631555Psssssshhh..Nothin confirmed, kiddo.
Half-life is good, though.
>>47631599
Mankeys is still a bit silly. Barbarians I can understand, although that could be said about Bosmer, Orcs, and some Dunmer. Corpse maggots is a bit edgy and doesn't really make sense. Could you elaborate?
>>47629337
t. Lucious Glutes
>>47629648
I think they're like jellyfish and hunt small creatures or insects with their tentacles.

Lorkhan is ded, also an allusion to mortality.

Anybody can do squats and get /fit/, From the Lanklet Altmer, to the skeleton Bretons, to even the skinnyfat manlet Bosmer.
Being a literal poop-elf is is far worse than starting out not squatting as much. Especially when Nords and Redguards start out the same, but only commit rape and murder on boats. Plus they even have their own homeland that isn't burned to the ground every few months.
>>47631512
Orcs
>shitskin

>>47631929
Breton men are actually average strength and average height, they just don't do cardio.
Breton women are skeleton mode, though, and shorter.
>>47631913
But it was elves who were kuked by Lhorkhan
>>47631978
>>47631913
It's Lorkhan, you illiterate cunts.
>>47631968
Pig children.

In what? Bedding? I'd best an Orc right then and there. Best them good.
>>47629354
Human blood stronk
No seriously, it seems like elvish blood is only trace in them now, with all the predominantly human mixing. They're far more human than anything else - it just so happens they share a long, profitable bay trade with the Redguards, and seem to get along with them pretty well aside from some occasional border disputes.
>>47632199
I'd say Redguards have a lot more Breton in them than vice versa.
This guy is supposed to be a Redguard.
>>47623152

Karstaag-man could best them both. Nobody can best karstaag-men.

Vivec is surrounded by salt water. Can't drink it, so dumping sewage isn't much of an issue; makes the gondoliers life interesting is all.
Those fountains are most likely either from springs underground, or magically conjured/purified water.
Remember this city has an altar that grants people the power of flight for what amounts to a 5gp donation, and a bound demon that initiates people into the Temple. Water purification is trivial.
>>47632852
would that be alteration or restoration magic?
>>47628463
>implying the Thalmor had anything to do with the moons disappearing, and weren't just being political opportunists, Cyrodil-style.
(I suspect it was a delayed follow up to the Nerevarine's destruction of the Heart. Maybe the Skyrim-era time fuckery "deleted" Lorkhan for a few years, and then respawned him. Once Vvardenfell becomes semi-habitable again, archaeologists are going to find the Heart humming away in the ruins ofthe Balmora Mages Guild, dangerous as ever.)
>>47633056
Almost certainly alteration.
>>47633056
Destruction.
>>47633056
It's likely not a magical contamination, so alteration. Now if someone were to throw magical poison or something into the fountain, then it might be restoration.
>>47631010
Deathless and fate-bound.
>>47633056
Belly-magic.
>>47633056
Both? Alteration to get rid of the salt, dirt, and visible shit, Restoration to destroy the poison and disease.
Conjuring it from whatever water plane exists would probably be cheaper.
>>47633311
>conjuring literal Waters of Oblivion
Great idea.
>>47633311
I don't think there is a water plane.
That does bring up an excellent question, though. If the tale of the wizard who conjured food for the snowed in family is true, where did he conjure it from? Perhaps the larder of some Jarl? Can conjuration do that?
>>47632789
Yeah, Daggerfall has some real qts.
>>47633764
I imagine planes like Sanguine's Pleasure Pockets and other Nirn-like ones have food in them.
>>47633793
Don't drink Oblivion water, Daedra fuck in it.
>>47633793
>attempt to conjure daedra from Sanguine's realm
>only succeed in conjuring food, wine and object of a possibly sexual nature
>proceed to throw a wild party instead
I can see it happening
>>47633897
>all these things are actually daedra bound in the shape of items
Enjoy your daedradiation poisoning.
>>47633948
Sounds hot.
>>47633069
Kirkbride said the Void Moons were a Thalmor eugenics project.
>>47634120
It's all fun and games until your skin falls of.
>>47634158
Did they remove the moons to return Khajiit to their original "elven" form?
>>47634198
Yes, except it didn't work.

What goes with Alteration? Alterationist and Alterer just don't sound right, and I don't know if they've named anybody who specifically specializes in Alteration.
Is it ever mentioned in dialogue?
>>47634158
Kirkbride says a lot of things.
>>47634310
Transmutator.
Thoughts on Skywind?
>>47634167
>>47633948
Completely unfounded, superstitionist nonsense. I use bound Items and release my pent up frustration on summoned daedra like any responsible mage who wants an apprentice who can sit down, and I have never heard of such a thing in all my 5,000 years.
>>47634512
Too big of a project for them to finish before TES VI comes out, and by then everyone will move on.
I don't like some of their art choices, but to each their own, artistic freedoms and such.
>>47634474
This is good. Is it ever said, or just something that works very well?
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Levitation_Act
This is why we can't have nice things.
>>47623928
The dwemer became the skin of the nimidium when they disappeared.
>>47634512
Not super interested, but I guess I'll give it a spin it it's ever anywhere near done. I think it's a good idea that they're doing more of their own thing now, though they might start to lose some of their following because of it.
>>47633056
Also can be destruction targeted at unwanted elements in water.
If I remember only destruction have permanent magical effects, all other spells have limited duration. After this purified water could revert to contaminated state.
>>47634533
You're not fooling anyone, daimon.
>>47634566
Just something that works. Alteration is widespread and popular, but mostly as a secondary school. It seems people don't tend to specialize in it.
>>47634609
Wouldn't it just be simpler to boil it? Same effect, same idea, just not some super costly thing.
>>47634587
I like to thing it's still around, just that the player can't learn it. Which is fine since I can always mod it in.
>>47634621
Nord/Redguard please. Magic doesn't work like that. Shouldn't you go back to swinging your sharp rocks?
>>47634587
Levitation Act is the same shit as Many-Headed Talos.
>>47634587
>http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Levitation_Act
I really hope they repeal this in the next game.
Levitation was one of my favorite spells, and utility spells are lacking in Skyrim.
>>47634808
What's wrong with many-headed Talos? It's not as cool as Akatosh having two heads, sure, but it's lead to interesting lore.
>>47634994
Didn't Bethesda say they didn't want to deal with vertical stuff in their games?
>>47635203
Where did they say that?
I thought they removed it because how cities are their own cell.
>>47635203
It's a sloppy in-game justification of shit Bethesda pulls because of RL reasons. Levitation is not present in Oblivion because hurr they can't design kewl dungeons when player can just levitate away. Cyrodiil is not jungled because hurr LoTR came out gotta ride the wave.
>>47634587
>>47634808
Mournhold is an island with an infinite ocean surrounding it. If you manage to scale the walls of the Imperial city, there's nothing on the other side but bare dirt and prop buildings. I've heard rumors the other cities in Cyrodil are the same.
They're demiplanes now, each it's own tiny little world. The Mages guild put stable Oblivion gates on each of the entrances, to hide this from the populace. Then they invented bullshit reasons to ban levitation and recall, so no one would ever find out.
Open your eyes, sheeple: The Oblivion crisis is over. The Daedra won.
>>47635238
I thought levitation was out because they made towns individual cells?
>>47635233
>Mark and recall is one where it’s a lot of fun, but like levitation, was removed so we could design better gameplay spaces and scenarios. We were really limited in Morrowind because the player could recall or levitate out of many situations and break them. There was a lot of good gameplay and level design work that we just couldn’t do and now we can. Back then it seemed like many good ideas we had were shot down when another designer would say “oh yeah, I just levitate or recall away.” So we got rid of them.
Fucking Todd. Flying beats railroad dungeons 10 times out of 10.
>>47635203
There is hope, Fallout 4 was surprisingly vertical.
>>47635280
That is a very backwards design philosophy.
