Not sure if this has been posted recently or if any of you played bloodmoon, but remember the fall of the snow prince? (not sure how long this quote'll be, I'll snip it and post a link if it's too long) [quote]From whence he came we did not know, but into the battle he rode, on a brilliant steed of pallid white. Elf we called him, for Elf he was, yet unlike any other of his kind we had ever seen before that day. His spear and armor bore the radiant and terrible glow of unknown magicka, and so adorned this unknown rider seemed more wight than warrior. What troubled, nay, frightened us most at that moment was the call that rose from the Elven ranks. It was not fear, not wonder, but an unabashed and unbridled joy, the kind of felicity felt by a damned man who has been granted a second chance at life. For at that time the Elves were as damned and near death as ever they had been during the great skirmishes of Solstheim. The Battle of the Moesring was to be the final stand between Nord and Elf on our fair island. Led by Ysgramor, we had driven the Elven scourge from Skyrim, and were intent on cleansing Solstheim of their kind as well. Our warriors, armed with the finest axes and swords Nord craftsmen could forge, cut great swaths through the enemy ranks. The slopes of the Moesring ran red with Elf blood. Why, then, would our foe rejoice? Could one rider bring such hope to an army so hopeless? To most of our kind, the meaning of the call was clear, but the words were but a litany of Elven chants and cries. There were some among us, however, the scholars and chroniclers, who knew well the words and shuddered at their significance. "The Snow Prince is come! Doom is at hand!" There was then a great calm that overcame the Elves that still stood. Through their mass the Snow Prince did ride, and as a longboat slices the icy waters of the Fjalding he parted the ranks of his kin. The magnificent white horse slowed to a gallop, then a trot, and the unknown Elf rider moved to the front of the line at a slow, almost ghostlike pace. A Nord warrior sees much in a life of bloodshed and battle, and is rarely surprised by anything armed combat may bring. But few among us that day could have imagined the awe and uncertainty of a raging battlefield that all at once went motionless and silent. Such is the effect the Snow Prince had on us all. For when the joyous cries of the Elves had ended, there remained a quiet known only in the solitude of slumber. It was then our combined host, Elf and Nord alike, were joined in a terrible understanding -- victory or defeat mattered little that day on the slopes of the Moesring Mountains. The one truth we all shared was that death would come to many that day, victor and vanquished alike. The glorious Snow Prince, an Elf unlike any other, did come that day to bring death to our kind. And death he so brought. Like a sudden, violent snow squall that rends travelers blind and threatens to tear loose the very foundations of the sturdiest hall, the Snow Prince did sweep into our numbers. Indeed the ice and snow did begin to swirl and churn about the Elf, as if called upon to serve his bidding. The spinning of that gleaming spear whistled a dirge to all those who would stand in the way of the Snow Prince, and our mightiest fell before him that day. Ulfgi Anvil-Hand, Strom the White, Freida Oaken-Wand, Heimdall the Frenzied. All lay dead at the foot of the Moesring Mountains. For the first time that day it seemed the tide of battle had actually turned. The Elves, spurred on by the deeds of the Snow Prince, rallied together for one last charge against our ranks. It was then, in a single instant, that the Battle of the Moesring came to a sudden and unexpected end. Finna, daughter of Jofrior, a lass of only twelve years and squire to her mother, watched as the Snow Prince cut down her only parent. In her rage and sorrow, Finna picked up Jofrior's sword and threw it savagely at her mother's killer. When the Elf's gleaming spear stopped its deadly dance, the battlefield fell silent, and all eyes turned to the Snow Prince. No one that day was more surprised than the Elf himself at the sight that greeted them all. For upon his great steed the Snow Prince still sat, the sword of Jofrior buried deeply in his breast. And then, he fell, from his horse, from the battle, from life. The Snow Prince lay dead, slain by a child. With their savior defeated, the spirit of the remaining Elven warriors soon shattered. Many fled, and those that remained on the battlefield were soon cut down by our broad Nord axes. When the day was done, all that remained was the carnage of the battlefield. And from that battlefield came a dim reminder of valor and skill, for the brilliant armor and spear of the Snow Prince still shined. Even in death, this mighty and unknown Elf filled us with awe. It is common practice to burn the corpses of our fallen foes. This is as much a necessity as it is custom, for death brings with it disease and dread. Our chieftains wished to cleanse Solstheim of the Elven horde, in death as well as life. It was decided, however, that such was not to be the fate of the Snow Prince. One so mighty in war yet so loved by his kin deserved better. Even in death, even if an enemy of our people. And so we brought the body of the Snow Prince, wrapped in fine silks, to a freshly dug barrow. The gleaming armor and spear were presented on a pedestal of honor, and the tomb was arrayed with treasures worthy of royalty. All of the mighty chieftains agreed with this course, that the Elf should be so honored. His body would be preserved in the barrow for as long as the earth chose, but would not be offered the protection of our Stalhrim, which was reserved for Nord dead alone. So ends this account of the Battle of the Moesring, and the fall of the magnificent Elven Snow Prince. May our gods honor him in death, and may we never meet his kind again in life.[/quote] Hoping to see more on the falmer/ice elves, since they're the biggest hole in the lore, what with no one knowing anything about them. Also, is Solsthiem part of Skyrim? I was hoping I could get the Snow prince's armor and spea- I mean weapon.

There are multiple references, but no spears. There were javelins in Morrowind, IIRC, but no spears... This is perplexing.

..before this discussion happens again, anyone interested in the falmer at all?
Oh, and why is it after going to jail for a day or two, I suddenly can only hold twenty pounds less that usual? Me becoming a vampire shortly after fixed that but having to feed before every time I level(the only time I sleep) is kind of annoying.

I'm pretty sure you can get some in prison.
It is a dirty, horrible place, after all. I think some attributes or skills have the chance of decreasing, while sneak and security have the chance of being increased.
For leveled objects, do they level up with you or are they stuck at the level you are when you get them?
[QUOTE=TamTamJam;31481440]For leveled objects, do they level up with you or are they stuck at the level you are when you get them?[/QUOTE] I hope it's the latter, because it'd be dumb as fuck for your swords to get stronger for no reason.
[QUOTE=Savaril;31481602]I hope it's the latter, because it'd be dumb as fuck for your swords to get stronger for no reason.[/QUOTE] I was thinking more about rings and the like, or, you get the ring at level 1 - 6, it gives you fortify health 4 pts. When you reach level 7 - 13 or whatever, the ring h gives fortify health 6 pts. Does that happen or is it always the same?
They stay. There is the quest award leveler mod though, which makes, well, quest awards leveling.
Honestly, as long as there's enough overhead in the offensive skills to handle the effectiveness of the weapon, I don't see a need for "leveled" items, so to speak. As long as a sword does more damage with a higher blade skill, then why should the sword itself become better without modification? Am I making any sense here?

A few days ago, I decided to do a complete refresh of my Oblivion game. I have a lot of mods from 2007 running so I decided to start fresh. I uninstalled my disc version of Oblivion & started the download for my Steam GOTY version (never seen the DLC stuff). Then I went to see if there was any updates to my old mods and found out that re-downloading every new update comes out to around 4 GB worth, counting also the new mods that I saw along the way. OBMM was easy since I had been using this since it came out but Wrye Bash, BOSS, OBGE & OBSE were entirely new to me. The readme's of Wrye Bash induced something akin to a frustrated dragon shout from me. Now that I got them all download queued I am going to start unzipping,OMODding,copy/pasta them all tomorrow. By the end of the day tomorrow I hope I can post pics to show my progress.
[QUOTE=Xain777;31482361]maybe there can be "Dragon Blood" enchantments so that as you kill dragons with a weapon it gets stronger due to the dragon blood coating it. :hope:[/QUOTE] Perhaps. Honestly, though, what happened to the days where muscles, not magic, determined the power of sharpened steel?

Any screenshots of Argonians yet? I haven't seen a single one so far.
I don't think there are.
In oblivion, do light spells affect your sneak at all? So far it doesn't seem like it.
[QUOTE=proch;31483060]I don't think there are.[/QUOTE] :(
[QUOTE=Darth_GW7;31483103]:([/QUOTE] I think they've been confirmed, though. At least, the Bethesda forum thing said "all ten races have been confirmed." However, since the Khajiits and even the Orcs look completely fucking awesome, I wonder how cool Argonians will look.
All the original races have been, more or less, confirmed for the sequel. Argonians are coming back they just haven't released any screens of them yet.
I hope Argonians have that Morrowind dinosaur head type thing. It was their best feature.

I kinda wish there was more extreme racism the farther from Cyrodil you get & Skyrim is pretty far. I want Dragon Age levels of racism. Mostly for the shock value & much more added challenge. I also want Argonian/Khajiit only clothing due to their differing builds too. If a Nord/Breton/Imperial/Redguard/Elf wears them I want to see a hole in the back showing their ass cause that's where their tail goes through. Also, more trinkets like belts and more than 2 wearable rings.

I have a racism and exposed buttocks fetish.
