  1. I played Skyrim today after a very long time of not touching it. I thought I could attack giants and reset the fight by running out of their reach when the fight was not going my way...
    At least now I can know how high my character's corpse can fly when she gets killed by one charging into her at full speed from the other corner of the map :mastorofl:

  2. The desert breeze ran across the fountain pool like a lover's caress, barely disturbing the water as it caught the spray and brought it to the dark figure on the bench before it.

    Black fur and dark clothes would have hidden this feline silhouette against the dark of night quite admirably, in normal circumstances. It was not the platinum blonde hair that gave her away though; rather it was the softly glowing mystical tattoos etched into her body and fur, plainly visible where they were not hidden by the leather straps of her chest wrap or the long-legged cloth breeches gracing her waist. Most striking, however, would be her glowing eyes, going from a light blue to a bright azure wherever her gaze was directed.

    As she gave a soft sigh, gazing into the waters, she failed to notice the second figure approaching from behind, after passing through the wrought iron gate to the fountain's surroundings. This khajiit was not one the night would swallow, between his tiger-striped white fur and lighter clothes. The beads around his neck caught the glint of the twin moons above as his own glowing eyes looked towards the black-furred feline woman with concern.

    "Is something the matter, tamiit?"

    At first, the only response was a perking of the ears, but as the new arrival took a seat next to her, the black-furred khajiit lifted her gaze to look over towards him. "I had hoped when we restored this place that we would find at least some interested in the old ways, but none have come."

    Her companion gave a slight nod, his expression softening. "The Dark Moon and my order is ancient history to most in this age. Even if only this age's moon-singers, your Twilight Cantors, can learn the ways, that is good enough. Azurah did not send me back for that, but sharing her blessings is something I am glad to do."

    Looking away again, the black-furred khajiit leaned against her contrasting yet similar companion, resting her head against his shoulder. "But it's such a shame that we can't share it with others ourselves. So much gets lost and forgotten-"

    That got a short laugh from the white-furred khajiit. "Var, var, var. Has that not been the path you walked before you found me? Finding things that others thought lost?"

    "Not everything," she replied, her gaze lowering. Noting her reaction, the tiger-like khajiit rested his arm around her, giving her a gentle squeeze.

    "You found me, my tamiit. And the twilight path we walk together."

    At the squeeze, the feminine feline snuggled in closer to her larger companion. There was silence for a long time after.

  3. So I heard that TES6 might be titled "Sentinel", to be released in 2028.

    Makes me want to play Skyrim again.

  4. With Elder Scrolls: Sentinel returning to the naming style of Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall, and Sentinel being the city state across the water from Daggerfall, I think there's a hint that Elder Scrolls 6 will in some way be linked to Daggerfall.

    Though not that it really matters, since it's a 2020s Bethesda game, so who cares...

  5. Anyone else as a kid pick one race on elderscrolls and just has rocked with it for the rest of time? Argonian for me, always will be!!!! #gaming #elderscrolls #morrowind #oblivion #skyrim

  6. Yesterday, I said "FUS" as I was getting ready to sneeze, then "RO DAH!" while I sneezed, and let me tell you, the whole city felt the power of my Thu'um.

  7. seven trials
    What he puts his hand to, that shall be done.
    What is left undone, that shall be done.

    first trial
    On a certain day to uncertain parents
    Incarnate moon and star reborn.

    second trial
    Neither blight nor age can harm him.
    The Curse-of-Flesh before him flies.

    third trial
    In caverns dark Azura's eye sees
    And makes to shine the moon and star.

    fourth trial
    A stranger's voice unites the Houses.
    Three Halls call him Hortator.

    fifth trial
    A stranger's hand unites the Velothi.
    Four Tribes call him Nerevarine.

    sixth trial

    ...actually, scratch that - I have to do some faction quests first, and otherwise clear my quest log before I do that.

  8. Anime-Style boob physics have just hit #ElderScrolls 3 #Morrowind

    nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/5

    This is a massive accomplishment, not because boobs jiggle, but rather because Morrowind is a game without the concept of animation physics to begin with.

    Jiggle physics are dumb don't get me wrong, but it is amazing that they've been ported into #OpenMW

  9. As I continue to replay #Morrowind , I once again notice what a masterpiece this game was. Even by the standards of the #ElderScrolls franchise, the lore of this game is fantastic and weird. It has crammed a lot of different cultures and unique perspectives into the relatively small area of the map, and you sense this every time you enter a different settlement.

    And, wisely, the game avoids presenting an "Ultimate Truth" to the mysteries of the plot and the setting. There are different views and opinions aplenty, but ultimately the players must decide whom to believe for themselves.

    Also, it's very clear that the developers were big #Glorantha / #RuneQuest fans. I have only begun to explore _that_ particular setting, but I greatly appreciate the worldbuilding of Glorantha as well.

  10. Despite my better judgment, I have started another playthrough of #ElderScrolls III: #Morrowind .

    It's been surprisingly fun, so far, despite the dated graphics and game engine. The only non-fun part was the slow walking speed, but now I have commissioned two magical items that drastically increase Fatigue recovery, and that helps a lot.

    One big question I have yet to tackle is which of the Great Houses I should join. Traditionally I have been inclined towards House Telvanni. However, I've picked The Atronach as a birthsign, and while my Magicka pool is huge, I can't do much spellcasting until I get to a point when I can get Restore Magicka potions for cheap.

    Which is going to be a problem when it comes to advancing in the most magically-inclined house. I mean, at least the Mages' Guild has Alchemy as a favored skill...

  11. The Elder Scrolls' true heroes so consistently come from prison (seemingly out of thin air...) that it seems like fake or even legit adventurers must lie that they're ex-prisoners to try to bolster their cred.

    Ain't nobody without a rap sheet stopping Molag Bal.
