Daily reminder that in the next TES game Sotha Sil returns. It's set in Elsweyr, and he proclaims he cheated death and that he is stronger than a Daedric Prince. A lot of Khajiit follow him as a god, and you have a task to stop him by the Thalmor. You can choose to either help Sotha Sil to drive the Thalmor out or kill Sotha Sil for good.

It is later found out that he was revived by a Daedric Prince to please him

In Dragonborn you learn that because of you killing Dagoth Ur and destroying Lorkhan's heart the Tribunal's power dimished as expected (so only Vivec's) and the meteorite that Sheogorath sent to destroy Vivec crashed into the city, which caused the Red Year.

It is only safe to assume that Vivec didn't make it

pretty sure he didn't have CHIM any more by the events of morrowind
>>
>>340738484
It is too complex to explain and no one really gets it from the explanations I've seen.
You either have people who dismiss it outright or get a half assed explanation.
The best explanation was when some anon linked a book, but I forgot it's name.
>>
>>340738484
It's nothing to do with video games. The player character does not achieve CHIM.

CHIM is the realisation of how the universe really works, that is, realising that you're just an imaginary concept in the dream of the real god, but instead of accepting your non-existence, defying that and demanding that you are real. At that point you can bend reality as you know it to your own will, like the dreaming godhead would.

The Redoran stronghold is awesome. Hlaalu just make some villa on a hill in the rich area, Telvanni grow a mushroom in most remote place they can, probably so you'll fuck off there and never bother them again, but Redoran make a mini town on a dangerous pilgrimage road. It just being there probably saves loads of lives.
>>
>>340738926
No. You come to the realisation and either accept that you're not real, which causes to to zero-sum and cease to exist, or you refuse to accept you are not real and achieve CHIM.

or you un-realize it again and go back to dreaming
it's not like the whole thing is as easy as toking up on some skooma and going "duuude, what if the universe was, like, a dream", and poof, you're either gone or a god
the path to zero-summing alone is fucking grueling, drilling the idea into the core of your being
it's perfectly possible to lose that
in fact it requires constant effort to not lose it

>or you refuse to accept you are not real and achieve CHIM

That's wrong.

The Tower is an ideal, which, in our world of myth and magic, means that it is so real that it becomes dangerous. It is the existence of the True Self within the Universal Self …

[The secret of the Tower is h]ow to permanently exist beyond duplexity, antithesis, or trouble. This is not an easy concept, I know. Imagine being able to feel with all of your senses the relentless alien terror that is God and your place in it, which is everywhere and therefore nowhere, and realizing that it means the total dissolution of your individuality into boundless being. Imagine that and then still being able to say “I”. The “I” is the Tower.”
>>
>>340739496
What's the trade off for achieving CHIM anyway? You don't even get any godly abilities for it, just a constant danger of vanishing into nothingness.
Also, if the God generating the Elder Scrolls universe is dreaming then surely it'll wake up someday?
>>
I wish the Dragonborn dlc didn't retcon the destruction of Morrowind to leave Redoran virtually unscathed and the mainland to be mostly inhabitable.

I enjoyed the concept that everything I loved about Morrowind was lost forever. It fit well with the direction the series was taking from the point of view of the gameplay.

>>340740168
He's been on the writing team for Oblivion and Skryim too, champ. If they didn't like what he was writing they wouldn't keep hiring him.

I'm also pretty sure the reason he doesn't work there full time is disagreements with other writers. No idea who exactly, but I'm betting Emil Pagliarulo is one of them.
>>
>>340738953
What was in ESO?
>>
>>340740459
He left literally during Morrowind's development. His only influence on further games is being allowed to write a few books for the newer ones, but he's not an employee. I'd hardly consider him "hired".

And yeah, the reason he left is almost certainly the fact that he's a massive asshole, you can see that in the way he lords around the elder scrolls reddit as if he's a god.

He's just an egotist who latched onto this shit because he has nothing else. He literally gets people banned if they so much as mention the fact he has no actual authority on what is and is not canon.

He peaked during the writing of Morrowind, and he can't let go, so he's delusional clinger-on.

You fucks need to stop giving him credit so he'll finally just go away, stop writing fanfiction, and move on with his life.

Why are you so fucking mad? Seriously, you're acting like a total fucking sperg so you don't get the right to call people who enjoy this shit autists.

sounds like a bug related to drain strength. I think it's supposed to go away when they die but it doesn't. Try resting for a couple hours. If not, then see if you have anything to drink that gives +strength, like any alcoholic drink. Otherwise,

Open the console with ~ and type "tgm" without quotes, walk to a shrine and restore attributes, open the console and type "tgm" again to turn it off

You should ALWAYS carry with you a custom made restoration spell that restores all attributes by like 20 for 1 second. Super useful. I think the mages' guild people in Balmora might sell some of those spells, and there's a spellmaker there. At least restore strength. Check the temple, maybe they sell the spells there. I know for a fact someone in Fort Pelagiad sells restore strength. If nothing else, carry some stoneflower petals, or craft some potions to restore strength. Someone in the Balmora temple sells the petals, or you can gather them yourself as you walk.

The reason I'm sperging out is because every time I used to hear people bring that guy's name up non-retards would just snort at them and tell them to fuck off.

Nowadays that's not happening anymore because the bulk of visitors to these threads have been replaced by you naive fresh-faced tards, and it's ridiculous. There's actual canon shit to talk about, when you yap about that manchild's work you confuse others as to what is actually true and continue the cycle of kids thinking that shit is genuine.

What is happening is people get absorbed with Elder Scrolls lore because they have an inquisitive spirit, and then they get sucked into that egotists sphere of bullshit and they come out speaking of his "le deep and philosophical metaphysics" with a smug attitude, made more annoying by the fact that what they're talking about is, as I said like three times before, literally fanfiction with no bearing.

Go start a Morrowind fanfiction thread over on /lit/ or something if you want to talk about that shit.

The only interesting shit in the TES lore is shit like CHIM and the missing God. The rest is generic Tolkienesque crap. If this shit offends you so much then fuck off, because enjoying this shit is now the popular opinion within these threads. And if I'm honest with you, I can't even remember a period where "non-retards would just snort at them and tell them to fuck off."

I'll say this, the stuff Kirkbride talks about is interesting enough, nothing wrong with it's quality.

The sticking point for me is that people put it on a pedestal as if he has more credibility than anyone else, which is wrong.

Fucking lore *you* decide to just start making up is just as valid as his.

What he's got going for him is a cult of personality dedicated to his shit to the point they don't realize that.

I recall MK releasing a cartoon with him burning the concepts of "Lore" and "Canon".

Shortly after that C0DA was moved to the from the lore forum to the fanfic section of the official Bethesda forum.That probably did not work as intended.

For that all you need is the tools. Any build can acquire them. Telekinesis spell to steal from right under the NPC noses, by positioning yourself cleverly. Levitation to get the good stuff that's hidden away in daedric shrines, mark and recall, almsivi and divine intervations to travel quickly. Mysticism in general is a great school, so you could choose to major in it to save the training costs early on if getting as much dosh as possible as easily as possible is your main concern. You can also get mercantile but it's usually unnecessary, just use the Scamp or the Crab.

It's not fighting Bethesda Canon or anything of that sort, it if starting the obvious which is not so obvious fot some reason... That fiction is fucking made up and ultimately the largest part of interpretation of fiction is on reader, you makes the fictional world yours and the world in your mind will always be personalized. Canon is not actually a physical thing that can stop your imagination, it's just a frame of reference that writers of the game use and obviously a frame you need to consider.

what you dont understand is that calling c0da 'non canon' or 'fanfic' does nothing to damage it, if in your game vivec died then he died, if in my game he turned into a mudcrab and lived out the rest of eternity on a rocky beach then thats what he did, thats all that c0da says, you can ignore it if you want but you dont have to be obnoxious and detract from other peoples discussion.

I really tried liking Morrowind, but your character not only walks at a fucking snail's pace, but combat is the most unfun I've experienced in an RPG for quite a while. And the writing is also nothing outstanding as far as I played.

How is anyone supposed to enjoy this without nostalgia lenses?

I played it in 2012 for the first time with no expectations and became a diehard lorefag because of it
I guess once you power through initial clunkiness the atmosphere and works just absorbs you, it's great works design
>>
>>340748374
Skyrim was meh RPG wise, but I actually enjoyed the lore and knowing the aftermath of the Morrowind events
>>
>>340748471
I know.
I still get a chuckle when I think of the difference between the buildup and payoff.
Him going "Uhh" every few seconds in the lava as I casually explored his base will always stick with me.
>>

That was mostly thanks to Mk Dominion lore and TES books though
>>
>>340748774
Slow movement is actually an important part of the game. If you have mark, recall, both teleports, a decent levitation spell, and boots of blinding speed, the game becomes pretty short. It also helps to know the appropriate fast travel stations like boats and silt striders.
>>
>>340748774
if you walk diagonally you move faster, youll also level athletics and speed as the game progresses, as for the writing that gets more interesting the further you progress, but the main draw of the game is exploring the world/lore, if you cant have fun doing that then you wont have fun with the game.
>>
>>340749007
I find it cool and all that instead of trees we get giant ass mushrooms and colossal bugs for transport. But that's about it.

It's a lot of empty roads that my character all but crawls through. Some lady on the road gave me her left glove to seduce the guy who robbed her, and the mage's guild quests are literal fetch quests with no flavor to them. I guess I pranked one of the mages with a fake soul gem, but it all feels so lifeless and still. Kinda like Skyrim, but in a different way

>Implying this doesn't translate into how badass the Nerevarine was - grabbing a closest being to an actual God in Morrowind, throwing it into lava and drowning him in it, locking his physical shell in a perpetual cycle of death and regeneration while the Nerevarine himself went to look around the place and fiddle with the tools.
>>
>>340749306
I had the opposite feeling
Quests had flavor to them, and as for giant banners and tree mushrooms and walking bugs... What made it real for me was that those trees actually had lore tied to them, that symbology on temples was real and had faux history.
I guess I felt really at home because I am a table top rpg fag.
>>
>>340749610
How is Oblivion dull in comparison?

One quest I will never forget in my life is the first quest you get from the Mage's guild at the capital, in which what'shisface tells you fetch his ring in the well, then some other mage warns you that it's dangerous. You instantly expect monsters or something, but it turns out, as you dive inside the well, that the ring weighs like a full set of plate armor, and the body of the previous aspiring mage is right next to it.

That is a great twist and fun theming on top of it. On Morrowind, in Balmora the quest is a literal fetch quest, then swapping a soul gem that I haven't seen if anything comes from it, and then yet another fetch quest.

Granted, that's one example, but that is my experience with it.
>>
>>340749619
Fuck, I would share depth of lore that they actually did in dragon born dlc but I am on mobile and this is pain

Once the tools were used and the heart disappears, Ur stops being immortal, so no, he would die in lava like Koji Kabuto.

Yeah, but you're comparing the best of Oblivion to the worst of Morrowind.

I'm a big sucker for table top RPG as well, but that doesn't make me enjoy a game solely on lore.

As long as you are in Balmora. The Morrowind Mage's Guild is easily one of the worst questlines in the TES games I have played. The only interesting thing until you finish the questline is find a spy, and the others are just "go there kill x"

But to be honest, so are most of Morrowind's quests. It's in the DLCs that they shine

Nord - Aryans

Orc - Mongols/Huns
Khajiit - gypsies
