So what's the rationale behind sticking sticking a tentacle in a dude's face after it rots off due to corprus?
I never understood to point. Is it just dagoth ur being batshit crazy?TES lore thread
It's a proboscis, not a tentacle
>>256711914
so he can drink goyim blood.
>>256711914
Can they really play music with it or was that just fanart
>>256709846
They're used to rape wood elf waifus
>>256711914
No, they literally get a tentacle installed after their face falls off. Give me a minute to dig through imperial-library, there's a book on the process.
just a sec let's get this thread kicked off, give me a moment
>>256714614
>>256711914
Sorry, I misremembered.
>The next step in the evolutionary process of one of Ur's servants is the "Ash Zombie". During this faze the Ash Slaves face becomes brittle and falls off leaving a gaping hole. During this time the servant loses its magical ability but gains considerable strength.
>Next comes the "Ash Ghoul". After a certain amount of time the corprus inside the Ash Zombie starts to grow a strange tentacle like appendage out of the hole in the zombies face. In this form they gain a consideral amount of magical ability and are also very strong fighters. Some of Dagoth Ur's closest compainions are Ash Ghouls.
>The final step would seem to be the "Ascended Sleeper". The tentacle growths inside the ghouls head eventualy completely emerge and a new head is grown where the old one was. These beings are incredibly strong and are the pinicle of what a servant of Dagoth Ur can achieve.

So Kargenac used the tools on the heart during a tense moment where he thought interruption wouldn't be a big deal, and then all dwemer disappeared. They either
>likely all died because Kargenac was wrong about the tools being safe

>>256724780
>>256724849
read c0da
>>256724849
I think the most well-accepted theory is that they all got teleported to some other plane of existence because they were all telepathically connected to the brain-internet, so when Kargenac did the thing and disappeared, they ALL disappeared
>>256724849
They were fused to the skin of numidium and are currently off screaming FUCK YOU at reality in untimes.
>>256724946
>>256725319
You think wrong. See:
>>256725343
It was more-or-less confirmed in skyrim.
>>256725319
but couldn't that same logic replace the word "teleported" with "killed" and it still make sense? Because they were all connected to the heart, wouldn't something going wrong with it cause damage to the whole species?
>>256725534
Well you could say "killed", but they didn't exactly leave any corpses behind
>>256725479
>confirmed in skyrim
It's a been a while since i did the main quest in that game, can i get footnotes?
I legitimately freaked when that mage found the heart. I wanted to kill him so that it would stay frozen and lost to the world.
>>256724780
>>256724946
Man, ascended sleepers are so great.
>>256725479

But instead of becoming tang, they became a giant robot?
>>256725534
The most boring answer is that they all died, and yet it's also the most plausible.
The Dwemer ruin in Mournhold has ash piles for every Dwemer that was there. That's what happened to them. They fucking disintegrated into ash instantly.
The reason you only see them in Mournhold is because it's been perfectly sealed since it happened, unlike all the ruins on Vvardenfel that have long since been looted and cleaned out by everything.
>>256725930
Pretty much.

Of course it is. What the fuck else are the ash piles?
>>256726558
Their corporeal bodies. The niggers are part of numidium.
>>256721687
There's no reason not to have armor ever. Unarmored is a level padding skill.
>>256721687
a good wizard doesn't need armor or too much hp
yes raise your int
but don't neglect willpower or luck
also you should have int up to about 100 by the time you are around lv 20 at the latest if you are full wizard
im not even good at morrowind exploits or knowing jack shit about proper wizardry and im doing fine as a pure mage
tfw you talk about morrowind and people say it's just nostalgia
fuck those people
OP, you have it backwards
They don't put the tentacle in because their face rotted off, their faces rotted off because the tentacle growing in their head ate its way out.
Here you go, direct from kirkbride:
>"Kagrenac was devoted to his people, and the Dwarves, despite what you may have read, were a pious lot-he would not have sacrificed so many of their golden souls to create Anumidum's metal body if it were all in the name of grand theater. Kagrenac had even built the tools needed to construct a Mantella, the Crux of Transcendence."

>>256727608

>>256727903
Oblivion's archery had proper physics applied to it. Skyrim had baked-in arrow arc.
>>256727914
>>256727923
Morrowind had the best magic effects, but the actual combat was ass. Skyrim's magic combat was MUCH more satisfying even when it was lacking the variety of spell effects Morrowind had.
Now if you want to argue that Morrowind had better spellCRAFTING than Skyrim, yes, it did.
>>256728004
>mash m1
>real melee
>>256726263
This is wrong.
They realized they are creations in a game and the writer, knowing that this race now had access to the control console, wiped them from existence. The ghosts in the ruins are memories of the writer.
>>256728090
>no spell making
>no scaling damage
I will agree that it was the most satisfying but the lack of scaling and customization was a huge turn off to me. Especially when my first character was a mage and I struggled the whole game but when I made my first non-mage character the game got a lot more manageable.
MGSO is shit
this is fact.
What do you guys think of dialogue systems (sorry I know that's vague and unhelpful, but you know what I mean) between the three games? I don't just mean persuasion, but just dialogue as well.
I honestly think full voice acting ruined the dialogue in TES. If nothing else it makes modding harder, which is pretty stupid. I didn't enjoy talking to anyone in Oblivion or what little I played of Skyrim. It's just tedious waiting for the dialogue to play out, and completely insubstantial if you skip through it at reading pace.
I always make a character, play for around 12-15 hours, make progress, and suddenly want a new character. But I don't want to drop all that progress I made, either. Plus, if I make a new dude, I'll end up doing a lot of the same quests all over again and they'll still be familiar.
Such are the problems of my life!

no matter which option the dialogue goes on the same path. If that illusion wasn't there, and if all the races kept their original voice actors the game would have been better.

It could be both

Including reincarnating it at the perfect time
There was a huge discussion before about Sixth House transformations. It's believed that corpus has nothing to do with it, as >>256715146 mentions, especially since that was written by a fan. Notice how most of Ur's worshipers don't actually have corpus. Corpus is the divine disease. Dagoth Ur spreads it so that you seek his aid. He can remove the negative symptoms of corpus and let you rejoice in the rest of the symptoms. At that point, the mutations begin and you begin to see like he sees, live as he lives. People who are part of his cult are often called Dreamers, because he believes he is the dream and all are a part of him. When people are infected, he sends them dreams to join his cult for proper treatment and initiation. Vivec himself states that corpus is controlled by the cult in order to achieve new magical powers and a new form of life.
I don't know the specific reason why it's tentacles but the fact they can play music with the tentacles might relate to the tonal structure of the universe. Not only that but there's likely a symbolic reason why the face falls off, specifically the eyes.
Were the dwemer euphoric?
>>256729187
There is no practical difference between the two

Speaking of the Dwemer, how the fuck did the Chimer or Nords even register as a threat to them with their advanced technology and magic? Why didn't they just straight-up roll over them whenever they got too rambunctious?
>He thinks its a tentacle and not a horn with orifices to sense its surroundings instead of eyes and nose
>>256729271
Whoops, I meant to say corpus has nothing to do with the transformation like the post I quoted claimed it did. Instead I wrote it had nothing to do with the transformations at all, which is dead wrong.
>>256729339
Yes.
>>256729376
If you were the incarnate you would be regardless of your actions. Mantling is following in their footsteps so closely the godhead cannot differentiate between the two so the universe sees in mantler as the mantled.
>>256729249
>>256729339
thanks for both post
>>256729271
But what if corpus is actually a parasite that eventually takes over the whole body
Hence the tentacle growth and head replacement
He gets rid of the "negative effects" by killing the host and letting the parasite have full control of the corpse

At some point the dwemer did have an advantage but go into a dungeon and fight a dwemer machine. They're not as strong as people may think. With the magical prowess of the chimer - remember, these are the same people who establish House Telvanni - and likely having better combat skills due to traveling across Tamriel and being taught how to kill and slaughter by Daedra, the Chimer quickly became a huge problem.
>>256729585

TES 'dwarves' are actually elves
TES only has elves, men and lizards
>>256730054
it depends if you consider tonal stuff to be magic
it technically isn't because 'magic' is defined as manipulation of aetherial energies and tonal stuff is fucking with reality on a base level
>>256729752
It actually rips off quite a bit from eastern religions. In fact, some outfits and concepts are taken straight from eastern cultures and religions. MK studied religion a lot, there's even a bit of Crowley in there.
>>256729752

Defeats the purpose of what Dagoth Ur wishes to accomplish. He wants to make people like him since he thinks everybody is him. Replacing a living being with a mindless parasite conflicts with that, especially since he does care about the dunmer people in his own way. He wants them, either with time or by his own inevitable aggression, to realize and become the truth.
>>256729339
Yeah. But they seemed like the only race in all of TES that had any idea of what the fuck was going on up there.

I'm like 98% sure that we can't see the more impressive Dwemer feats because of lore-gameplay segregation.

>>256731101
It has a few more aspects of western style. The moving title screen is from Flash Gordon serials and the titles of the movies themselves are reminiscent of classic horror movies. Revenge of the X, Return of the X, The Phantom X, or the X Menace. But there is a lot of Kurosawa influences from the east as well.

So no storyline about him? Is he cut content or something but was left in?I always made my Dunmer characters have his face once I realized I liked it.
I just played though the Skyrim mod Undeath and there were a lot of references to the King of Worms. I haven't played Morrowind or beaten Oblivion entirely. However, this seems like a good place to ask this:
Who exactly is the King of Worms, what is he, and did he actually ascend to godhood somehow?
I only really know of him from a few books in Skyrim, and that the Necromancer's Amulet was something he used or created.
>>256731517
He holds the bow of shadows, which is enough. He's just a higher level semi-unique NPC, you remember those right?
>>256731291
Wait I just realized
Does this mean Numidium could summon entire armies of ephemeral dorfs at will
Or just one giant one
Or would that kill it
>>256731435
I'm almost 100% positive not one of those influences were implemented or thought up by George Lucas himself.
He probably fought against them.
>>256730497
>cure
>>256731529
He dragonbreaked into two people and one of those people is a moon.
>>256731529
Manimarco, the King of Worms, was supposedly an extremely powerful necromancer
In the multiple endings of Daggerfall, he can become either a god, a lich, or just stay a necromancer, depending on which ending you go with
And because all the endings are canon, he can be referred to as any of the three, deepening on which dragonbreak timeline you're in
This is kind of a shitty explanation, so sorry
>>256731529
Mannimarco, the King of Worms
He was a dick-ass Lich, and the main antagonist of Arena
Then you kill him ded for good in the mages guild in Oblivion, because there was no place for him in the game universe anymore, just like the rest of Necromancy
>>256728740
Maybe the middle 2, just barely.
>>256732106

Time fixs itself so all of them are in the same timeline.

>>256730140
hi trainman how is your game coming along?
>>256731529
It all starts with the Psijic Order, one of the earliest influential groups of mages in history, located on the island of Artaeum(probably misspelled it) in Summerset. Mannimarco was basically a big supporter of necromancy that went way overboard and eventually had an army of necromancers, a cult, and a gajillion undead ready to take over Tamriel. It was Galerion and the Mage's Guild - which Galerion founded - that stepped up and killed Mannimarco. Unfortunately, Mannimarco became the world's first lich - first recorded or what, no one knows- by that time and eventually comes back in Oblivion to be a massive asshole. During the Warp in the West, when time went out of control, one timeline involved him becoming a god. His influence over necromancy is seen in Oblivion, where he grants powers to create black soul gems through the necromancer's moonlight.
>>256732324
Play Dragonborn, but that time, Redoran is the top house in Morrowind, and Blacklight is the new capital.

Currently on hold while we find a suitable graphic designer for the new UI (almost everything I was coding was UI stuff, but recent developments put that on hold while we get a new, better, 3D UI)

>Relief efforts began almost a month after the mountain erupted. It was actually a directive that came from the House Redoran councilor that was living in Mournhold at the time. I can't remember his name, but he took charge of the situation and sent soldiers, supplies and able-bodied Dunmer to the outlying settlements that had been hit the hardest. I was sent to Balmora. The place was a mess; hardly anything left in town was still standing. I spent maybe two months there, helping to rebuild the town and getting my fellow Dunmer back on their feet.
if it wasn't for Redoran there literally wouldn't be shit left for the other houses
>>256732472
That's actually really cool then, because the mod was very lore-accurate.
You can even take Grand Soulgems to his Altars and a beam of power will turn them into Black Soulgems.
>This is my first time in an elder scrolls lore thread.
What the fuck is going on?
>people saying TESO is non-canon
Yeah, about that...
>>256732948
CHIM
>>256732745
To be fair, the state of Telvanni is still unknown. We have little information on how much of the mainland was destroyed and despite the Telvanni family - which all of a sudden exists thanks to Skyrim - being wiped out by Argonians, the Argonians attacked from the south while most Telvanni territory is in the upper east. With people like Neloth just popping up and growing new houses, it's likely Telvanni is doing fine. They just don't care about what's going on in the world, especially since many can take care of themselves.
>>256733050
>no BGS involvement whatsoever
>set in the literal dark ages
>end result is irrelevant because of Tiber Septim
it might as well be
>>256732628
World Eater Beater is shitty, just so you know. Why release a buggy, ugly mess?
>>256732948
Elder scrolls lore is surprisingly abstract.
Bethesda doesn't know how to properly put it into their games.
>>256733227
Yeah, the thing about the Telvanni being wiped out makes little sense given the actual facts, not to mention the Telvanni actual family is not the head of the house, just the founders, much like how in Morrowind Redoran's Grandmaster was Venim.
>>256733329
What's buggy and ugly about it?
>>256733050
TESO is definitely canon. After all, Molag Bal's realm is described as ruined version of Nirn. Sounds like the player never leaves ColdHarbour in TESO.
>>256732927
It's not like it's hard to make lore accurate necromancy
Bethesda themselves won't touch it because it's bad and would impact sales, but decided to implement lore breaking resurrection spells anyway because people whined
>>256733351
Just the opposite
All the lore is told through the perspective of the people, so you have no idea what's facts or opinions, what's science and what's mythos
It's fucking great for theorycrafting and speculation
>>256733480
Did you even playtest it? There's a whole list of complaints over in the Nexus.
>>256732948
>What the fuck is going on?
Elder Scrolls has lore rivaling best tabletops such as Planescape, you can even get it discussed on /tg/
>>256733329
Worked mine for me
So how is MW now?
I dont know if it was expanded on in DB, but dont Argonians occupy a lot of it now?
Why arent the Dunmer having a reconquista?
>>256733773
Playtested it myself multiple times, and gave it to multiple playtesters, whose issues I did fix before release.
>>256733937
>worked mine for me
My god, even the posts about it are buggy!
>>256733729
>It's fucking great for theorycrafting and speculation
Don't you guys ever get tired of just speculation? I mean it's cool up to a point, and that point is when shit just gets so convoluted that keeping it together feels more like homework.
Honestly, I just want some more facts. I'm tired of waiting for answers and each games just gives me more questions.
>>256734057
>So how is MW now?
Here's the current situation.
They can't take any more from Argonians because argonians are tough when they organize.
>>256733621
>but decided to implement lore breaking resurrection spells anyway because people whined
I dont remember these.
>>256733506
I laughed
>>256733773
So you haven't played it and are just whining about it.
>>256734270
Who the fuck is House Sadras?
>>256734057
>a lot of it
sure, if you count a tiny strip in the south that includes whatevers left of Tear as a lot
>>256734270
Argonian 'organization' is a hivemind swarm with literally no tactical thinking, I think one of the phrases was "clogged the Oblivion Gates with corpses"
not really useful against an organized military force such as the Redoran
>>256734493
New house.
>>256734270
>mfw house Hlaalu died and some no name house replaced it
>>256734270
the patches of blue in vvardenfell, is that the shrine of azura and...suran?
>>256734270
Argonians are subhuman scum. No match for Dunmer.
Failing that, join the Thalmor on the condition MW is fully returned to the Dunmer.
Then betray them when the empire fights them.
>>256734493
Hlaalu's replacement. There's very little known about them.
