The Elder Scrolls Megathread XVI: Loremaster Extraordinaire - Games

[QUOTE=-Iker-;47505750]The kids at the Riften orphanage sure must have had a tough life because I just beheaded Grelod in front of their faces and they started cheering.[/QUOTE] They had just finished singing "It's a hard-knock life for us" before you arrived. There was no topless woman and dwarf in their version.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47505594]I would actually like to play ESO, but only if it could be played single-player. MMOs really aren't my thing.[/QUOTE] elder scrolls: offline I think what you want is actually just an elder scrolls game with all of tamriel

[QUOTE=-Iker-;47505750]The kids at the Riften orphanage sure must have had a tough life because I just beheaded Grelod in front of their faces and they started cheering.[/QUOTE] Sick fucks, them kids are.

[QUOTE=-Iker-;47505750]The kids at the Riften orphanage sure must have had a tough life because I just beheaded Grelod in front of their faces and they started cheering.[/QUOTE] I never kill Grelod, I just randomly show up to beat her nearly to death, then leave. I figure child abuse is harder to do with a few broken bones. :v:

[QUOTE=war_man333;47505891]elder scrolls: offline I think what you want is actually just an elder scrolls game with all of tamriel[/QUOTE] i wouldnt say no to that

[QUOTE=elowin;47504763]Only big problem I had was that they were ugly as fuck, or at least the male ones. I thought elves were supposed to be hot, damn it.[/QUOTE] Im a huge fan of elves and i play as one in every game that has them as a playable race, including the elder scrolls and they honestly aren't that bad. I actually really like the angular alien appeal they have, and if you are good enough with the racemenu you can make some pretty handsome elven characters.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;47506380]Except you're proving his point by posting this, because you need to mod it to make it less aged?[/QUOTE] his point was that in his terrible opinion the game is too ugly to play and my point is that as long as you're not too dumb to download and double click the MGEXE installer the problem is solved [editline]11th April 2015[/editline] like there is literally no reason not to, as far as i'm concerned that's the way Morrowind looks now

I love Morrowind as much as the next person who loves Morrowind, it being my first TES and all, but I agree with some people that even with mods the gameplay is terribly clunky and awkward. [editline]adfas[/editline] Though, really, none of the Elder Scrolls games have particularly enjoyable gameplay. The strengths of the series have always been its freedom and setting.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;47507171]his point was that in his terrible opinion the game is too ugly to play and my point is that as long as you're not too dumb to download and double click the MGEXE installer the problem is solved [/QUOTE] I'm sorry I don't worship Morrowind like the Second Coming of Vivec, but you don't need to be an ass about it.

[QUOTE=Vehk;47505594]I would actually like to play ESO, but only if it could be played single-player. MMOs really aren't my thing.[/QUOTE] You can for the most part, ignore the other player's existance.

[QUOTE=RR_Raptor65;47506347]I never kill Grelod, I just randomly show up to beat her nearly to death, then leave. I figure child abuse is harder to do with a few broken bones. :v:[/QUOTE] Doesn't she only have one hit point? How does she survive?

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;47503169]It's not that far from Oblivion and Morrowind elves.

This is closer to a Skyrim appearance. [img]http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vn_IOMf1wPk/maxresdefault.jpg[/img] As for Bosmer eyes, each race have several eye colors. Dunmer can have pink eyes for instance. ESO's character creation is pretty extensive. It isn't as limited as Skyrim's.[/QUOTE] Fairly certain you don't know how to anatomy.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;47505163]I'm so glad there are mods that exist for the College/Thieves Guild that let you [sp]tell the guilds that you don't want to be their leader[/sp][/QUOTE] Kind of hard to lead the thieves guild after you've murdered all of them.

[QUOTE=Eriorguez;47504357]About Mer design: Skyrim nailed the look, they looked like an actually different species, rather than just people with long ears. Different facial structure, different eye structure, somewhat different cranial structure... That was GOOD. Fuck people with pointy ears.[/QUOTE] despite skyrim's obvious flaws.. they really got the aesthetic down. usually norway inspired viking stuff is usually lame in other games, but in skyrim it looks badass. the armor, weapon, and race designs were almost a 10/10

i'm sorry god, i'm sorry jesus, i'm sorry mom. i've failed all of you [img]http://i.imgur.com/7zZ84DL.jpg[/img]

Did any hints of Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 4 come? Seems like every game I was hyped for around the same time Skyrim was new (2011-2012) just got its sequel confirmed. Deus Ex, Batman, Hitman etc

[QUOTE=One Ear Ninja;47509133]yeah, but it's not morrowind you stupid literally every game after morrowind was horrible and you should feel horrible you horrible person because you're too stupid to play the game[/QUOTE] Even if the Combat of Skyrim feels nice, and I like Skyrim, I'm some kind of loser moron because I don't suck Morrowind's dick? Not even doubting Morrowind could have been good to play at the time, but I was late to that party.

[QUOTE=Blooper Reel;47505163]I'm so glad there are mods that exist for the College/Thieves Guild that let you [sp]tell the guilds that you don't want to be their leader[/sp][/QUOTE] Think I've found the TG one, but what's the mod for refusing to be Archmage? [editline]asdf[/editline] Also, is anyone aware of any good mods for the Bards College and its questline? Like, something that makes being a bard actually mean something? Cause it feels like Bethesda just threw that whole bit of the game in as space-filler. And they probably did. Bethesda.

I liked all the Elder Scrolls games. Except ESO I'm not touching that shit yet.

[QUOTE=Vitalon;47508544]Doesn't she only have one hit point? How does she survive?[/QUOTE] I've never checked myself, but if Grelod exists in the world before that quest, she might be assigned a larger HP pool or be marked essential or something until you're supposed to kill her.

In 2010, how was Skyrim announced? At a conference or out of nowhere?

[QUOTE=27X;47508588]Fairly certain you don't know how to anatomy.[/QUOTE] I didn't make that last picture if that's what you mean. I still prefer variety over most individuals in a race looking the same. I still dislike when people bang down on ESO for almost no reason. For me it's one of the best Elder Scrolls games. Sure it's not Skyrim Online, but it's good. The lore is really good, the story is breathtaking and far better than the MQ of Oblivion and Skyrim. Plus you get to see all of Tamriel. You get to learn about other races you didn't know much about. Particularily the Akavir, Sload, Maormer and Ayleids. For instance, it confirms that the Akavir were snakes people. You get to see and interact with Maormer, and learn about their culture. For a lore person ESO is epic. I guess it's...less interesting for people who just want to mod their Skyrim to Oblivion.

[QUOTE=QueenMelanie;47510033]For instance, it confirms that the Akavir were snakes people.[/QUOTE] The Akavir aren't a single race though? One of the four Akaviri races are Snake people but there are three others.

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;47510075]The Akavir aren't a single race though? One of the four Akaviri races are Snake people but there are three others.[/QUOTE] True, but the ones doing the invasions were the Tsaesci with their human slaves. To my knowledge the Kamal, and Tang Mo did not come running to Tamriel. Then you had rumors of the Ka'potun dragon leader wanting to invade Tamriel but apparently he never did so as he's warring the Tsaesci. So for all intents and purpouses, when you talk about Akaviri in Tamriel you mean the Tsaesci. Either way, it's confirmed that the Akaviri who invaded Tamriel around ESO's time were snake people, hence Tsaesci.
