The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

So since Dark Souls now has a 3D map and someone has imported most of the armours and weapons is it possible to import all of Lordran into a Skyrim cell?

I want to see Summerset and B. fuck the elves and their power complex, beating them at home will make them look bad. If they mention the civil war at all, I'm guessing they'll either say it doesn't matter because the war is on again, or whoever we ask won't know how it turned out. I'm a little late to the discussion, but when I chose to go with the Stormcloaks it came down to "Romans or Vikings?" and I've always thought Vikings were cooler.

Still having a bug taking the Rift in the Imperial Civil War questline; after raiding the caravan, Rikke won't have the dialogue option to let me go and assault Fort Greenwall. Already tried examining the map, moving Rikke to a different camp and asking her there, and talking to Tullius about war progress, so I'm starting to get kind of irked...

By some reckonings, he's Akatosh in a shiny suit.

Or a part of Akatosh.

[QUOTE=coyote93;43749992]It feels wrong to say this. But I cannot play anymore on any of the elder scrolls games. I have played 400 hours + on skyrim, and gotten every achevement.. I played oblivion on a no drm version for atleast 300 hours, and another 100 hours on steam. I played Morrowind when it were new, and also some when i finaly got it on steam. But there seems to be nothing more i have not already done.. Please make another SINGLEPLAYER elder scrolls game beth... And do implement all the good old atributes again.[/QUOTE] I know how you feel. After nearly two months of playing all these TES games I'm just about finished with all this swords and sorcery stuff. Once I'm done with Skyrim, I'm pretty sure I'll be itching to play the most bullet-filled explosion-fest in my Steam library, whichever game that turns out to be (probably Far Cry 3 or Blood Dragon).

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;43753159]Awesome, though I bet wearing boots fucks with it.[/QUOTE] It doesn't look outright bad with vanilla boots, it just makes it look like they're standing on their tippy toes rather than the balls of their feet. [img]http://i.imgur.com/DA5zZ7B.png[/img] Personally I'm willing to live with it since the feet themselves are rigged kind of awkwardly and this was the best compromise I could do with the skeleton. [QUOTE=DrasarSalman;43752281]But that ruins compatibility, unless you somehow manage to change the mod to always include the newest version of XPMS. I also believe it to look terrible, since you didn't change the textures or mesh.[/QUOTE] Yeah I get why this might be a problem but since it took me just five minutes of punching in numbers to copy the skeleton changes from the female to the male, making it compatible with all of the XPMS skeletons wouldn't be that big of a deal. Tedious, but doable. I'll write a tutorial on how I did this later, so expect the average Nexus user to have characters whose hips and tits stretch from one side of the Reach to another shortly.

Well, an IMPORTANT part of Akatosh. Say, an equivalent to a liver rather than a tonsil equivalent, so to speak.

[QUOTE=Eriorguez;43754055]Well, an IMPORTANT part of Akatosh. Say, an equivalent to a liver rather than a tonsil equivalent, so to speak.[/QUOTE] If Bethesda decided to go with a Dragon Break, fucking Alduin up would be a sensible explanation.

I was thinking they could probably resolve the civil war conflict by describing the events of both questlines vaguely and then saying that a second stage of the war occured after the dragonborn went inactive. It's not perfect but it's better than 'TIMEGOD CHANGED EVERYTHING' I'm also hoping that at some point they retcon the main quest of skyrim so that the alduin fought isn't the world eater and a literal world-eater-alduin will pop up at some point (either the small alduin was an imposter or the small alduin isn't the 'final form' of the world eater.) I realy expected the guy to be Majestic,Noble, wise and... well the thorny black dragon with glowing red eyes spouting 'evil' egotistical bullshit was a massive disappointment for me.

We didn't kill Alduin though. That's the mistake we're making. We did the exact same thing the ancients did to banish Alduin in the first place, and sent him forward into the future. We did break a dragon, but we didn't break THE dragon. Alduin's a complex entity, but he functions similarly to Vivec/Vehk. When he "dies", he is sent to a space outside time. When he wants to return, he can, but he can't choose the "when" he returns to. Vehk does the same thing, from an external vantage point he calls the "Tower." The Tower was how Lorkhan discovered his godhood, and refers to a view of reality turned on its side. It floats around in the Void, and exists outside time and space. Extremely important in the functions of CHIM, because the Tower is the I in CHIM. I'm not saying that Alduin has CHIM. He doesn't. However, when he was ripped out of reality by the early Nords, he ended up in the Void. When he chose to return, he was able to. However, while he was outside time, he never realized that reality formed the Tower, and was unable to choose exactly when to come back. That's horribly condensed, but it explains a few things. It's also an interpretation of the Kirkbride texts, as well as the Sermons of Vivec, so it's completely open for interpretation.

He was pushed into the future using an elder scroll. When you, the Dovahkiin, "kill" him, well, we don't really know what happens to him. If the prophesy is anything to go by, you actually permanently slayed him.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;43752943]Personally, I think the Blackbriars might be inbred. Maven has that "Don't you judge me" look to her and her sons are non-literal bastards.[/QUOTE] Well, there is some dialog that "incorrectly" refers to her grandchildren as her children. Maybe it's not incorrect after all.

[quote]The Dragonborn finally kills Alduin in Sovngarde with three other heroes of Sovngarde, Hakon One-Eye, Felldir the Old, and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt. Thus, Alduin is banished from the world forever, although Arngeir and Paarthurnax theorize he may return in the future to fufill his destiny as World-Eater.

He's also very good at directing his films, and for you TES fans, I thought it'd be funnier to hear those Skyrim lines and characters used in very silly situations. That's the best thing about it.

ENB just updated to .250. Boris raised the max memory limit to 128GB and added volumentric mist. Looks pretty incredible.
