>"Vivec City is a monument to ego. Let's not sugarcoat it. It’s a series of massive, floating concrete ziggurats built for a living god who literally has an asteroid suspended over the city just to remind everyone who's boss. The tourist brochures want you up top, in the Plazas. They want you buying overpriced, sanitized temple trinkets while Ordinators in golden masks stare at you like you’re a walking, breathing health code violation.>But that’s a facade. It’s a sterile, bureaucratic nightmare. To find the actual pulse of Vivec, you have to go down. Past the Waistworks, past the Canalworks, straight down into the Underworks. It’s pitch black. It smells like stagnant water, raw sewage, and desperation. You're sharing breathing room with smugglers, skooma addicts, and mutant rats the size of golden retrievers. But down there, in a flooded corridor, I found an Argonian exile operating a single rusted iron pot over a makeshift fire. No menu. No sign. He handed me a bowl of dreugh-meat gumbo. It was spicy enough to strip the paint off a guar, rich, muddy, and completely unregulated by the Temple. I ate it sitting on a damp crate while the religious police marched blindly overhead. Best meal in the whole damn province."
Insult a n'wahInsult two
They don't want you here. Let’s get that out of the way first. Sadrith Mora is a company town, but the company is run by thousand-year-old magical sociopaths who live inside hollowed-out giant fungi. You get off the boat, and they immediately quarantine you in the Gateway Inn like you're carrying a plague of mediocrity. But if you can bribe your way past the prefects and actually walk among the spore-choked streets, you find a culture that is entirely, unapologetically itself. I sat down with a low-ranking retainer who fed me a plate of blackened ash yams and something called Hound Meat Carpaccio. He spent the entire meal levitating three feet off the ground just to look down his nose at me. The arrogance is breathtaking, the architecture is literally rotting, and the Telvanni bug musk makes your eyes water. But there is absolutely zero compromise here. It's beautiful.

>>733728215Now that i think about it it is kinda stupid Vivec's only port is some tiny ass docks in the outskirts of the city
>>733728215>>733728279Looks like shit.
>>733729254Yep, foreign quarter should have always been closer to the sea.

Armun Ashlands...Arvud...They call to me...
I confess that i söypogged at all the Bosmer meatware in the Anvil release, particularly the bone boats. I genuinely want Valenwood in Project Tamriel to become a thing now
Kwama eggs, hopefully a nord didn't make these>awkward laughter from guest Kwama eggs are always better when a dark elf makes them>yeah haha sure
>>733729254Geographically a port would be difficult to build atop the primary structures.It would need to be past those small islands surrounding it or the ships would run around often.The port would be a manmade structure or the farthest largest island out with the deepest surrounding waters, and there'd be a logistical in-between in the form of ferries and small boats transporting goods from the port to the main city. Would be kind of hard to sell for a game developed in that engine in the 1990s, the small boats would be static and it would be a hassle to explore for early game players until they could levitate which wasn't something everyone rushed to do in 2001.
>>733732036Soon
>>733727494>Khajiit has no words for you
>>733727494Some of you n'wahs need Talos.
>>7337323591990s Vivec actually looked way better than the final release
>>733732036They have assets for Bosmer "books" that are skeletons etched with writing since they can't use paper. KINO."Oracle bone designs for book meshes for the bosmer, made from varying materials such as bone, skull + antler (for king dead wolf deer), and turtle shell. These could be used for ancient records / texts, as well as religiously important texts.Haseoster suggests writing the history of a family on Bosmer scapula. For example, every time a member of a particular family dies, one or both of their shoulder blades is taken, prepared and inscribed with their prominent deeds or some other information; then a hole is drilled in it, and it gets put on the string with all the other ancestral scapula. It could be used by the head of the family to connect with a particular ancestor through ritual or seance."
>>733732656It was a really ambitious idea.Ebonheart would be the official port of Vivec. Merchant ships would not want to risk going into those waterways. They could build a bridge to the St Delyon Canton and that would likely be the foreign quarter.They could use carts by land and small boats to transport the goods from Ebonheart to that Canton the most easily. Vivec would not want a pier in front of the Palace. It'd interrupt his view and port waters are always disgusting. Everyone would be dumping their slop and piss and shit overboard and there'd be all sorts of bullshit falling the water.
>>733732656This is also the style the VR team is going forhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1AxVMpBtSkGogh0UsxbXti4AKttvACJa9hz0AfpWPjEM
How's everyone's playthroughs going? Anything interesting to share?
Have a skooma.Have two.
>>733732845They're making the plazas open topped?
>>733732973"You want the perfect, poetic metaphor for the Imperial occupation of Morrowind? Look no further than Tel Vos a place happens when you try to explain Cyrodiilic zoning laws to a wizard who considers gravity a mere suggestion. The Legion marched out here into the Grazelands, built a rigid, medieval-style stone keep, and planted their flag. And Master Aryon, a Telvanni wizard with a deeply cynical sense of humor, looked at it and said, 'Nice courtyard.' And then he just grew a giant, towering mushroom straight through the floorboards.It is the ultimate, psychotic home renovation. You don't bother laying down new stone or worrying about the floor transition strips between the dining hall and the armory; you just plant a magical spore in the cellar and let it violently consume the architecture. The roots have literally crushed the barracks. The Imperial towers are choking on organic, twisting fungus. It is the most beautiful, passive-aggressive middle finger in all of Tamriel.I sat in a hollowed-out stone guardhouse that now smells entirely of damp earth and bug musk. Aryon’s retainers—a mix of heavily armed mercenaries and magical sycophants—were roasting a massive, whole Shalk over an open fire pit right where the Imperial commander’s desk used to be. They cracked the blackened carapace open with a steel mace, and we dug into the rich, sweet meat with our bare hands, pulling it out in steaming chunks. No forks. No Imperial table manners. Just the howling wind of the Grazelands, the unnerving mechanical clicking of a repurposed Dwemer spider patrolling the hall, and the taste of absolute, uncompromising victory."
>>733733457"You haven't really lived until you've washed down a bowl of aggressively spiced scuttle with a mug of fermented marshmerrow, while a Telvanni wizard explains in excruciating detail why your entire species is a mistake."
>>733727821what the hell did you do to my precious morrowind?
>>733733201No TR never does that because of performance issues. BCOM does that but BCOM will suck compared to Vivec Rebuilt.
>>733728279why is the foreign quarter canton so massive
>>733732656Don't tell me consoles screwed them over then too.
>>733732973Currently doing Master Bel-Betu's quest mainly since I've never done it but also for the spell since I'm doing a no spellmaking run. Gonna betray him later to get the other spell from the Mabrigash as well.
>>733732845what is this mod
>>733733595Lots of foreigners
>>733734142The N'wahs have to go through these steam gates to get to the inner city>>733734061Elder Scrolls 3 development version circa 2000
>>733732584>>733732564Not knowing who Bourdain is, is a sign of lower class behavior.
>>733734142I think if the foreigners are allowed a canton. Why aren't house dres and indoril?
Vedam Dren's new palace
>>733732584>TalosWhich one?
>>733734338House Indoril is basically the Temple.House Dres doesn't have any holdings on Vvardenfell
>>733734338They have no land in Vvardenfell
>>733734338Indoril get an expanded Temple District with joinable ordinator faction and Dres are just too far from Vvardenfell (and not in Tamriel_Data yet :P)
>>733732372Wtf they have treehouse building assets for them already?
>>733732372It seems that literally every province is getting environmental assets done except Elsweyr which afaik still only has concept art, a weapon set and the khajiit variants, which is weird since you'd think there would be more people rushing to make Khajiit stuff than Altmer/Bosmer stuff
>>733734426
>>733734856Power rangers villain vibe
>>733734479>>733734552If Vvardenfell is so important, why don't they?The place isn't really exactly crowded.
https://wiki.project-tamriel.com/wiki/Jaws_of_Oblivionhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1T-ImohwSW_ZA_pz14hWsU_JzShvO3dMTSome neat concept art here.Too bad it'll probably never come out.
>>733735225Maybe that means furries are quarantined from the project, which bodes well for its future..
>>733735225Elsweyr won’t have any border with a developed province until Cyrodiil or Valenwood get halfway done. It makes sense it‘ll be last.
>>733735440For the Dres it's probably just logistics, politics, and interests. The entirety of their territory is in the extreme south of Morrowind, they have no land in the Inner Sea at all, to even get there they'd need to have good relations with the Hlaalu and the Empire so they can use the Thirr River, which they don't (this shit ain't the PGE3), and House Hlaalu already took over all the spots that could be used for big slave plantations, of which there weren't that many to begin with and so wouldn't let the Dres have them. For the Dres, it would definitely make much more sense for them to stick to their own territory and focus on dealing with the ongoing hot conflict with the Argonians than wasting resources trying to colonize a place that wouldn't really offer much for them anyway.As for the Indoril, they're already closely tied with the Temple, to whom all of Vvardenfell belonged before its opening and still owns a significant portion of it, and in TR lore the Indoril chapel of Gorne is already supposed to symbolically encompass all of Vvardenfell even though it's really just one small island off its coast.
>>733727494Black Marsh bros it’s just getting started
>>733735845The Summerset Isles don't border any province and yet has tons of stuff already
>>733736082Knew you’d say that. You can see them from Stirk or Stros M’kai on a clear day.
>Morrowind chads still making funny memes, still modding the game, still finding new shit, still being genuineMorrowind truly is the best TES.
I want to see more shit-flinging between PT and TR. They're directly competing for the same autists' free time after all.
>>733729207>industry plant>most watched travel show ever>talentless>most watched travel show everDo you have any data to support your statement.
>>733736432Not really, they're the same mod using the same assets and working across each group. When you download any of the modpacks it always includes both.Hell they have quests/events/things that take you to each location. I teleported and ended up in Skyrim somehow.
>>733733610That shot suggests they tried to make boats move, I doubt that was not possible solely because of the Xbox.They still can't figure shit like that out now. They probably just couldn't get it to work without tons of collision issues and NPCs and whatnot.
>>733736820Most watched cable television slop. Bald and Bankrupt on YouTube probably gets more viewers.
i want skooma
>>733727821why is this dunmer yellow
>>733735991>they'd need to have good relations with the Hlaalu and the Empire so they can use the Thirr RiverOr sail up the east coast from Tear but the Telvanni probably wouldn't be willing to let them have the Grazelands
>>733736820>popular = goodKill yourself.
>>733736194It's the only game I play anymore. Nothing else scratches that ich for me.
>>733737151>east coast from TearCurrent concept has a big ass OE style imperial city on the coast in the northern Black Marsh, right across from Morrowind and Tear.Not sure what the thought process is here. Are imperials just chill with slave trading and Sload skyports in this lore?
>>733727494It is monument alright. A monument to piss poor city planning.
>>733737707Slavery in Morrowind is literally protected by law because of the armistice, and the overwhelming majority of the trade probably occurs by inland routes rather than by sea anyways.As for the Sload, in PTR lore their ships fly so high they're basically spaceships, so there's literally nothing the Navy can do about them, assuming they'd even want to since there's nothing to suggest the early Septim Empire's kill on sight policy extends to modern times.
>>733738009>uhh sorry our superpower empire just can't le do anything about it lolHow do they convince argonians to pay taxes?
>>733737159How does it not equal good?
>>733738113Look at Skyrim
>>733727494What's the text from?
>>733738105Airships are not common in Tamriel.An experimental one crashed in Solstheim. That means it's not a settled science for normies.If the Sload have airship fleets, it's unique to them.
>>733738237Not an answer.
>>733738105They mostly don't really, Inner Black Marsh's tribes are more or less entirely outside of Imperial controlAs for the outer parts of it, they live under active, enforceable Imperial rule, so they can't not do it. And there's an entire class of Imperialized tribesless Argonians from the coastal cities whose entire purpose in life is going out to the wilderness and demanding taxes
>>733738105Honestly, they can hardly convince their own citizens to do so eitherhttps://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:The_Eastern_Provinces...
>>733738424Cattle cope
>>733738420PTR Anvil has an imperial airship in the main quest
Glad we settled that popular does in fact equal good.
>>733738432Do they get nabbed up and captured as slaves while doing so? Or are Dres raids only in the Arnesia border region
>>733738779It does not contradict what that anon said because this ship is literally transporting the prince.
>>733738707Still not an argument. I am glad you now understand popular =good.Silly of you to argue against it in the first place.
>>733738873>Or are Dres raids only in the Arnesia border regionProbably. And the Archeins serve the city-state of Soulrest which is literally on the opposite side of the province from Arnesia, so double safe.
>>733738887The prince of an empire that should be able to BTFO a sload tower on its doorstep.I think the skyport should be moved to Port Telvannis where the empire has closer to zero control.
>>733739108Or sloads could just be active in the west around Thras and Summerset which would make even more sense
>>733738419OP wrote it dipshit. It's this thing called human creativity holy fucking shit. It's not some hard difficult thing to write parodical text like that. Jesus fucking CHRIST ANON
>>73372749413 years old by nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgN2xJDJ3gQAs old as skyrim when it came out
>>733739108Again, assuming that the Empire would even want to do so (it's been 400 years since the PGE), or that they would be willing to upset the already delicate relationship with the Dres by staging an attack right next to their capital in the process, or that corruption and bureaucracy would allow them to do it>>733739191PTR's Sload literally explore Oblivion with their ships and their main skyport back in Thras quite literally reaches up to space. Being able to fly anywhere on Nirn they feel like going to is basically their main thing in this setting, so that's definitely not happening
>>733727494I'm imagining this in the bosmer voice
>>733736432Not a dev but gonna fling some shit at the SHOTN team. It’s been 6 years since the last release because Markarth is stuck on “conceptualizing the main quest.” Like wtf just release that shit lol conceptualize on a later update
>>733738779Is it like a dirigible or a magic ship?How many do they have?
>>733733610have you played morrowind on a contemporary system? even the PCs at the time wouldn't have handled it
>>733739413Why would fat slugs who got BTFO by the whole world have better technology than the Empire? I feel like TR devs write too much anti-imperial dunmer dialogue that they start to take it to heart. Yes, vanilla says the Empire is dying, but it doesn’t say it’s dead. It’s still a huge superpower as of 3E427.
>>733738707People who don't like Bourdain give their low class background away. It's always really funny to know someone's social class just by their interests.
>>733739682>Why would fat slugs who got BTFO by the whole worldBecause they're immortal extremely skilled mages whose entire mindset revolves around planning things carefully and the All-Flags' Navy incident happened literally 1500 years ago, which is plenty of time to get things up and running again and trying out new things
>>733740031>1500 years agoNearly 2000 actually, 700 years of remaining First era, 800 years of Second Era, and 400 of Third Era.
>>733740031Makes sense I guess. Still think the Imperials should have space ships too. They should be the strongest faction in the world.
>>733739884>not in the Epstein classThank God
>>733727961are there any plans to make unique bodies for the imga? seems weird every concept has them with typical ape body plans but the actual models are just normal humanoid
>>733727494
Fieri is the foodie of the people
>>733741234Go kill that dude
>>733738113>if the niggercattle gargle this slop it must be good
>>733727494>muh food
>>733741883>>733741883If upper middle class people watch it, it is good. Stop being so poor.
>>733736058It will technically only start after both the high rock and hammerfell teams manage to do a release
>>733743214Why? Seems limiting.
>>733736194Always was.
>>733732372Zamn!
>>733732372nice fucking model
>>733728215Can hardly see the palace…
>>733739452heh
>>733740876Seriously, I know that Morrowind isn't set to scale but I always find it hard it to believe that red mountain is the tallest mountain on tamriel. It just feels so small in game
>>733745796Vanilla red mountain should be called red anthill. It’s shorter than the fucking Narsis mesas. This mod is the best replacer currently:https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/57476
>>733745960From Almas Thirr:
>>733745796One thing there's a mod for that.Second item, that mod makes it higher but not by much. But what is interesting is with openmw we can push things even higher makes me wonder when openmw modding will just diverge from vanilla. Like for example with openmw we can have physics like skyrim/oblivion. Doesn't do much but when you think of traps it can change the game...also physical arrows, instead of arrow skill just doing a *miss* maybe the cursor and aim is all the fuck over the place and stamina drain is super fast and loading is slower idk.
>>733746185and Narsis
>>733728215those clouds look like shit
>>733746267and Kragenmoor
>>733734427the one on my coins
>>733745796Pretty sure the Throat of the World is supposed to be Tamriel's tallest mountain
>>733745796I thought the Throat of the World was the tallest peak.Is Red Mountain being the tallest a headcanon thing?
>>733746379Fuck i still can't believe we're just one more giga-Balmora away from finally being done with the Hlaalu stuff (but not really because the area the first Project Tamriel Argonia release is most likely gonna be in is also ruled by them)
>>733746320It’s the zesterer’s volumetric clouds shader. Post a link to a better one if you have it and I’ll switch.
>>733746313Love the new Indoril set. Almalexia is going to look so boring with the ugly vanilla assets though.
>>733727494N'wah!
Is Poison Song out yet
>>733747014No. Lead asset dev quit so it got delayed till 2028.
>>733747373lies and more lies
>>733747421It’s true his name was Shiva and he was developing the next 5 years worth of assets for the project.He got in a fight with other devs over the Poison Song Indoril interiors and quit, taking all his work with him.
>>733747510They lost a ton of stuff for the Redoran release too
>>733747510>>733747567and how come none here at 4chan, reddit, tumblr or twitter, has even talked about this
>>733727821grug confusedcant tell if boy or girl
>>733747609What? It’s not a 4chan mod
>>733747510>>733747373That was a long time ago and they've recouped progress since then. It's true the Indoril architecture set still needs work but most assets needed for PS are as of today ready
>>733747373Akshually they simply got a different guy to make the Indoril interiors and now there's nothing stopping the release (other than the fact there's one more building to make the interior of)
>>733748138>>733748198So what are the main differences in interior philosophy compared to the old guy and the current guy?
>>733748138>>733748198Doesn’t change the fact that he was making all the Mephalan Vales (next region after Poison Song) and now he’s gone and the region is at 0%.
>>733748514making all the assets*
>>733748514Isn't everybody who makes assets for these mods obliged to upload them to a shared database or something? You'd think that would stop such autism
>>733748514The progress they're making at the moment seems to go well enough at an extremely fast pace. So it doesn't seem all bad.
>>733748593I guess they don’t upload them till they’re 100% finished and his were 99% when he quit lol
>>733749508alright
>>733748593>>733748593yeah that shit sounds like bullshit.
>>733748138>>733748198ngl this looks way better than whatever >>733747510>>733747567is
>>733749508Most of his architectural assets, including the Redoran building shells and the Indoril ruined architecture, were reviewed and officially merged into the project's development files.Tard.
>>733749701That’s different stuff entirely, the other Indoril set looked like this.I heard bright white assets look like shit in game so that’s probably why it was rejected. Then he threw a bitchfit and left.
>>733749792His Silgrad Tower model was merged? I thought they were redoing it in Velothi style
>>733748237I'm not a designer so I wouldn't know but it's clear they're still making good progress despite the setbacks. It's a sign of good project management when the removal of one member's contributions doesn't cause serious delays or outright collapse.
>>733749795I do like the look of that tree though.
>>733727494>Miss>Miss twice
>>733749870The trees are still in
>>733750052awesome!
prob a stupid question but what does the 427 in High Rock 427 represent
>>733749795imo this looks very pseudo-European Persian. The vaulted ceilings and the twisting columns along with the shrine in the middle. It doesn't feel very congruous to other aspects of dunmeri culture.
>>733750148The year TES3 Morrowind is in, 3E 427
>>733749513how do you respond without sounding mad?
>>733750254ah ok thanks
>>733745960Thanks for the recommendation. Red Mountain actually looks like a proper large volcano now.
>>733750728that looks ugly
>>733750728How can you stand playing with that little fog? Really ruins scale and distance.
>>733727821Why would you use that mod when Westly's golden saint replacer exists?
>>733751007sex
>>733750992>Really ruins scale and distance.I would agree with you if I was just playing the vanilla game. But I'm playing TR. Having the whole Morrowind mainland included makes the lager view distance justified, imo.
>>733751007ZAMN!
>>733728215>>733728279Vivec city of swords already exists we don't need another massive overhaul incompatible with every other mod adding an npc to vivec.
>>733751482Looks like gay obviously modded shit
>>733732709>Durr make everything out of boneThat's fucking retarded, parchment is made of animal hide. This is what happens when you've got a team of artists and idea guys who didn't bother doing research before they decided to get wacky.
>>733751935Both the caption on that image and the text that guy shared suggests that the bone thing is a religious/ritualistic thing, not what they use to casually write everything
>>733752156Parchment wasn't made for day to day correspondence and casual writing, it was an expensive and laborious process that saw the technique mostly limited to religious and legal procedures. Thats' why sherds were popular for recipet and day-to-day correspondence, or more commonplace fibruous materials.
>>733746545Hlaalu chads keep winning, every other house stay poor.
>>733745960>not compatible with Memento MoriFuck. Do I keep Memento Mori or get this instead.
>>733752350Every other culture uses parchment and paper though. Stone (or bone) tablet inscriptions are cool, based in reality, and should see use in the mod.
>>733752424Memento Mori is recommended with BCOM, which is an older mod which is slowly getting phased out. Up to you whether you want to use older, more established mods or newer more exciting ones.
>>733752350Yeah but you can't make cool carvings out of parchment nor incorporate it into cannibalistic funerary rites
>>733752449>>733752659True enough.
>>733751007Oh yes, she looks good. Now, let Westley do port of oblivion's golden sait weapons and shield, because haveing GSs use a level-scaled randomised loot table is bullshit, much like dremoras using dreugh, dwemer, or ebony weapons (i mod that shit out).
>>733752610Oh I wasn't aware BCOM was being phased out, I thought it was very popular?. I don't have that installed, so I guess I'll get the red mountain mod instead.
>>733752659Which is why Bosmer civilisation should be focussed on stone tablets, pottery sherds and other claywork. Instead the devs are taking the one cannibalism factoid and flanderising the entire race around it.
