THERE GOES MY HERO
haha dude get it?!?! IT'S the REDDIT MEEM!
>You like to dance close to the fire, don't you?
>>739518753>haha dude get it?!?! IT'S the 4CHAN MEEM!
>>739518992kino
>>739518992>Dr. Nerevarine, I'm CAE
>>739518942Seen any elves?
I just recently found out earlier this year when replaying Morrowind the upteenth time that to trigger fargoth's stupid sneaking script in the find fargoth's hidden spot quest that you need to stand on the lighthouse platform right next to the door exiting the tip of the light house and not up the stairs in the platform higher up. I can't tell you how many times I was standing around in the middle of the night for him never to initiate the quest.
>>739518687you did save him right?
>>739518992are they on halo?
>>739520109
>>739521854>not golden>or bronze>or brassIs this supposed to imply Dagoth Ur was going to perfectly copy the Dwemer? Or did the artist just fuck up?
>>739522464If you mean the Dwemer having blue skin that's been a fanon thing since Kirkbride gave his seal of approval
>>739521854Damn, those are some zesty lips
>>739523225Some kind of food poisoning? I just think Dwemer are pale aldmer/proto-chimer.
>>739521854>Numidium: 2.22 You will (not) exist.
>>739523225The last living dwemer isn't blue what retarded newfag fanfiction is this?
>>739523864The last living dwemer is corpus grey like all other corpus monsters (including dunmer ones)
>>739523864Yagrum's skin color is the same as other Corprus abominations so you could sort of rationalize that maybe his skin didn't always look like that.
>>739523597My headcanon is that living underground combined with their love for copper and its alloys led to their skin becoming blue, because oxidized copper is blue
>>739523675>Get in the fucking robot Hjalti
>>739521854>>739523225>literally just the Gloranthan Mostali mixed with the Warhammer Chaos Dwarf look
>be dwemer>
>>739521854what's the joke here exactly?
>>739525220>warhammer invented the bronze age
>>739525625The Numidium is described in some questionable sources as basically a denial god whose time-warping powers work by denying reality and flatly telling it "No" and there's a once popular fan theory that the Dwemer became its skin
>>739525625Numidium Skin theory. When Kagrenac struck Lorkhan's heart to complete the machine-god Numidium all Dwemer everywhere across Tamriel vanished. Nobody knows where they went but one theory posits that their race became part of the Numidium itself.
RAT
>>739526828The Numidium is an in-universe stand-in for the author’s pen. The dragon break could only be resolved by the writers themselves intervening in the story itself. This is why Dagoth Ur’s golem fails, there’s one ending to Morrowind, not multiple, no reason for the veil to be pierced. The Dwemer demanded to be real when utilizing the tools, so convinced of their justified refutation of their false reality that they became part of the only thing ‘real’ in their fictional universe: an extension of Bethesda itself.
>>739518687> be me> be Sload> sit around naked in your fresh water source all day> don't have to worry about having sex > eat my own offspring> soap
>>739526997he cute
>try to look at literally any lore page on UESP>half the sources are ESOthe fucking TES fandom wiki is better at this point simply because it is updated less frequently and contains fewer sources, meaning there's less ESO fan-fiction on thereUESP is completely and utterly useless for lore now, only the pages for specific quests or in-game items have any valuei hate whatever stupid nigger moderator plays that shit and decided it needed to go on the main TES wiki instead of some offshoot site where it fuckin belongs
Why are vampires so...inconsequential in this game?
>>739528910Because the world has bigger fish to fry than some dumbasses who drink blood once in a whileIf they stick to eating dreamers they'd do the world a favor
>>739523225Them, and the giant reality-defying robot at the end, which I have to assume is supposed to be the Dwemer-made one, not the Dumbmer-made one.The Kirkbride cult is a constant embarrassment.
>>739528910As in to the story/world? Regular blood vampires kind of have a lot of competition for vulnerable people in Vvardenfell right now because of the 6th house and the people living there are super aware of vampires, since they've been a consistent problem on the island for a long, long time. Also I think even vamps need to be scared of corprus and blight, if the in-game immunity only to 'common disease' is lore-accurate and they can still catch both of those. Ash vampires (not really vampires) are obviously super relevant.
>>739528910The Tribunal Temple did a good job at purging most vampires which is why they hardly show up in Morrowind
>>739529110"Dwemee became the Numidium's skin" is a fan theory mostly popular among skyrimfags tho
>>739530107Cope.
>>739530240Face thy kind's sins with dignity
>>739518687RIP Tarhiel's content.
>>739529110>The ESO cult is a constant embarassmentFTFY, retard.
>>739528869>the fucking TES fandom wiki is better at this pointSomeone should beat you to death with a rock.
>>739527089>FailsAkulakhan isn't even finished dude, play the game.
>>739528910Vampires are another Imperial import into Vvardenfell, they were wiped out by the Temple ages ago so Morrowind hasn't had native vampires in ages.
>>739518992>AR or BR?>The choice... Is ... Yours...
>>739523225Kirkbride also gave his seal of approval to the Uutak Mythos.
>>739536306The what?
>>739536336https://en.uesp.net/wiki/General:Uutak_Mythos
>>739528910on top of what everyone else said, vampirism is mechanically an atrophied system that clearly was meant to have more going on with it.
>>739518687skyrim is better
>>739536354I'd left the forums before Skyrim came out so this is news to me desu.
>>739536575So it's basically a really cringe fanfiction where the guy invented a race of bat people who are more powerful and smarter than any of the races in Tamriel because they found dwarven technology. If you thought Tamriel Rebuilt's Ynesai, Chimeri-Quey and Duadri were kind of off-putting, the Echmer will put you into a coma.
>>739518687Zoomer
>>739518942Just killed this guy because I was doing the fighter's guild quest and I didn't see the witch he was talking about and couldn't find a dialogue option to get him to stop following me
>>739536354huh, first time i'm ever hearing about this (probably because PTR seems to actively refuses to use it for their setting, surprisingly)I like the idea of a bat beast race, though i might be a bit biased since i like bats
>>739536857To be fair, the Chimeri-Quey were invented by Kirkbride himself for the PGE2, not Tamriel Rebuilt
>>739518687I feel Flow's GO fits, around the point where the lyrics start and his entire on-screen lifespan makes a perfect cut.
>>739536916>surprisinglyIt's post-Skyrim settingbuilding and an alternate fan project. Even if they had been open to using it they'd feel compelled to have full permission and participation from its creators. >>739536857Ynesai are just kinda boring. They don't have much of a sting or identity to them beyond "SEA expy humans." Chimeri-Quey are Kirkbride's like anon said. Duadri bother me a bit in how they get wanked a little but my biggest problem with PTR Yokuda concepting is just that they have it be TOO populated still, I feel like the place should be almost unlivable because at a certain point you start asking yourself why the Ra-Gada bothered to leave when Hammerfell is a harsher environment.
>>739536990PGE2 is unofficial, but yeah.
What do you guys think the world would look like today if they had just channelled the effort/energy they had with Morrowind (and even the next two games) into a real sequel to an adult, PC-first, open world roleplaying game, rather than going for max sales to targeted demographics of console gamers? I'm playing Morrowind for the first time and it's such a shame they never even tried to make better games than that. They made menus for consoles and adding fast travel and arrow following kills the entire concept of an open world rpg from the get go. And I like the other two games, but damn, it really makes me think.
>>739520462THAT PELICAN DIDN'T FLY SO GOOD.Why fly when you can ride?
>>739528869>nd decided it needed to go on the main TES wiki instead of some offshoot site where it fuckin belongsIs ESO canon? If yes: Then it's part of the UESP lore blurbs for the rest of the series.If no: then take it up with them in a discussion.
>>739537232They already dumbed the series down for morrowind. It was a lost cause to begin with
>>739537481Whatever they did to Morrowind made it by far the best game in the series to this day though
>>739537232Adult? Bro. They'll say they were always inclusive today, but those Vivec intersex shenanigans read like a giggling 6-year-old wrote them.>>739537481Not really, it was the first and only time we could just kill everyone. A lot of what the previous entries did that was removed relied too heavily on random generation. Things like passwall needed Wolfenstein-level terrain to work.
>>739518687
>>739537554I think the game is pretty obviously designed for adults, unlike later instalments.
>>739537519I think the main thing is they put it in a setting that's supposed to be this weird, foreign place instead of putting it somewhere with generic fantasy stuff like Oblivion.
>>739537864I think the main things are >no arrow follow gameplay >no global fast travel from level 1 >no essential npcs >more robust magic system, more systems and options overall >actually well-written and conceived lore and world - actually very good main quest, which does actually matter a lot. Dagoth Ur is the most popular NPC from Tamriel and it's not even close>much better art-design/graphics than later games - skyrim has that hideous ui, oblivion looks goofy (it also looks good, but it looks goofy) >rpg elements like faction hostility to one-another and required skills to join >gameplay is finding things out, looking for things, using journal and npc clues to find most likely routes to objectives >combat is actually a lot better than in oblivion and, imo, also better than skyrim And character/armor design is done better than the next two games and it's not even close
>>739536907Why didn't you use him as a punching tank? He could have helped you fight the sixth house.
>>739528869Every thread there is always someone complaining about ESO existing.
>>739538271With good reason.
>>739518687Trannywind
might as well ask here toomoving to new houseI won't have internet for weeks(installation shenanigans with ISP), thinking about installing Morrowind to keep me occupiedwhich one of these would you recommend lads?any cool mods that are not in these packs?
>>739539947Director's Cut.Tomb of the Snow Prince.
If I make a custom spell that has effects from multiple schools of magic, will I get xp in all the skills? And if so, is it the same amount of xp per skill as if I used a spell from only one? I'm wondering about making an optimal farming spell to spam cast while I'm running around.
>>739518753N
>>739528910>Why are vampires so...inconsequential in this game?In a universe where "normal" people resort to cannibalism for ideological reasons, haemophages are a relatively mild concern. Imagine how insane a Dawnguard sounds to you if you've had a Bosmer death orgy destroy your hometown.
>>739542317No, spells can only belong to one school and give exp only for that school and their overall cast chance is only calculated by your skill level in that particular school not the others. What school it belngs to is determined by what spell effect in the custom spell has the lowest cast chance. Interestingly this also means that a custom spell with multiple schools of magic can chance school if your cast chance changes by for example leveling one skill up.
>>739518942YOU LIKE TO POST CLOSE TO THE REDDIT, DONTCHA?
>>739518942What the fuck does that even meanIs he calling you retarded or something?
Skyrim gets a lot of flack because you can become the leader of every faction you join but I think Morrowind deserves criticism here too.From a world building standpoint not only doesn’t it make sense for someone to be the leader of every guild (or god forbid even a house), it also does not make sense for a travelling character to assume a leadership position in any institution. On the other hand there needs to be some logical endgame for completing guild/house quests.That said it does make sense that the Nerevarine would be given titles in a every institution he is a part of.
>>739525656Yes
>>739538271Because it's shit and cancerous and literally polluted the only good wiki?
>>739528869I really wish someone made an addon that automatically purges any ESO fanfic sources from the wiki or something
>>739546561Fire = dangerIt's calling you stupidly brave
>>739518687>you save him>recieve a pop up "with this characters life, the thread of prophecy is severed"
>>739546217I hope summerset looks like alien mystic hyper colourful painting style stuff for scenery/buildings but I have a feeling they're gonna go way too tame.>>739546568Yeah it's a bit dumb, I also wish there were actual consequences for joining conflicting groups. Usually I just impose restrictions on myself.
>>739536857>>739537090Their Yokuda does seem to lean a bit more idyllic than I think it should, but I don't have too many problems with the Yokudans being two races (The Duadri and Ikkan). I do hope they work to characterize Yokuda more though as a truly post-apocalyptic civilization.Their use of the Maomer with their history though is immaculate.Their Ynasei are a bit boring but I hope they'll get to be developed a bit more in the future. The most interesting thing about them currently is their conflict with rat garbage ships. Otherwise they're just kind of this jobber race.
>>739547803Did you download the mod “less restrictive factions”? It’s an offshoot of a similar mod but it’s slightly more lax. For example the MG will accept Telvanni members as long as they aren’t high ranking members. Morag Tong will not accept anyone from a Great House unless you are highly skilled, etc. Religious factions are limited
>>739543963Fair point
>>739548503I don't need mods to restrict my gameplay lmao
>>739538271Just wait until nuBethesda graces us with TES6. ESO will look like kirkbride lore in comparison
Seen any ELVES? HAHAHAHA
>>739551835was the whole Snow Elves getting unga-bungaed to death by Nords TES: Skyrim addition or were there references to it in prior games?if so, rather ironic/clever remark
>>739551934It’s a Bloodmoon invention so it could go either way really.
>>739552383>even Kirkbride couldn't imagine the totemic armor kino
>>739551934https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Bloodmoon:Fall_of_the_Snow_Princethis book is all i could find. the snelves died or fled after their glorious leader got killed by a 12 year old nord girl
>>739552859>their glorious leader got killed by a 12 year old nord girlElves are so pathetic...
>>739551934>>739552383>>739552859It’s actually in PGE1 so it’s a Redguard addition. It’s just that the concept of Falmer didn’t exist yet and the Nords just killed generic “Elves.”
>>739518687I just can't bring myself to play through either of the Expansion Packs.
>>739551835The comment is a subtle joke you see, because he is in morrowind and there are in fact Elves everywhere.
>>739552383>can almost larp as Conan the barbarian >heavy scale looks like Oblivion ReSOLD ebony armor
>>739553187Pretty sure the word "Falmer" was already a thing in the PGE
>>739538064Pelinal mogs dagoth though
>>739546568skyrim's guilds suck because you become guild master in like 2 quests
>>739557373not really
>>739559856He looks like a fren :)
>>739559642yeah he does, dagoth loses pelinal wins lol
both Faggoth Ur and Penoranalinal were homos
>>739560630was dagoth ur really a faggot?source
>>739561152He loved Nerevar and the younger generation cannot understand the difference between "loving" someone (like a family member) and "being in love" (with a spouse).
>>739561245>no bitches>gives his followers phallic protrusions for a face>wears shortpantsabout as subtle as guar thrown through the window he might love his brother-in-arms a bit too much
>>739561245Given the wedding imagery in the sixth house dreams and the emphasis on the unity of flesh and soul through corprus, there is probably meant to be something at least symbolically sexual to it
>>739552701Love his mods, I wish you could customize Skyrim to fit more of a Morrowind aesthetic all around and swap most of the generic armors with his mods.
>>739563438You can SPID them I guess but he only has a decent variety for Altmer, Imperials and Dunmer last I checked.
>>739548067Oh I've got no issue with there being more than one race of Yokudans, it was a continent bigger than Tamriel at one point. And ultimately their characterization of the continent will probably never matter because people are way more likely (and already are) to try to spark up Pyanodonea as a project. It's just, how about you make more "actual nuclear fallout" and "salt-hell" style environments instead of just floodlands, desert, and jungle, like the only issue is that the population centers got nuked and the rest up and fled to... jungles, desert, and floodlands, for some reason. Yokuda canonically has settlemenets from the Redguard map but the population should be hanging on by a thread to justify Redguards upending their entire civilization.
>>739562505what
>>739552383>& turdLiterally why
>>739560312He looks like he fucks human men*
>>739565479While working on Morrowind Kirkride basically treated Nords as the joke race. So it's 'haha the retards wear shit.' This changed afterwards and he slowly tried to make Nords cool too (with the Aldudagga and such) but the fur and turd concept art is still out there.
>>739565802The nords and orcs in Morrowind are weird because they keep going back and forth between acting like normal people and being actual retards depending on the quest.
>>739560498Pelinal lost to a gangbang of Ayleids lol
>>739547552That would be really cool actually
>>739567639slander
>>739564840crazy dagoth
>>739563612Yeah if you use Sentinel armor overhaul there is also an integration mod for most of his armor sets with that and it will spreadh them around. But I would like more variety for more races from him. And also just other general ways to make Skyrim more weird and interesting to fit the armor aesthetic. There are some decent enemy and creature mods, but the environment itself and questlines still feel stale.
>>739569594Midna lookin ass in the middle
>>739518942Festering witch...
Do you guys think Skywind will ever be fully playable and "complete"?I
I can finally post it.
>>739570771Morroblivion is still getting updated today so probably Their progression rate trends toward a 2030 completion of the base game
>>739570771the intense irony of this project is... >Morrowind actually has a better engine than Skyrim does and has better combat than Skyrim does... much betterBut the people aren't ready for this truth
>>739561245>>739561512I'm a poltard who thinks Jews are trying to queer everyone with media and ruin the world in general and I would actually not have a problem with Dagoth Ur being canonically gay and in love with Nerevar lol
>>739571820>has better combat than Skyrim does... much betterThe tsar bomba of trvkes
>>739572107It honestly pisses me off. I habitually watched lots of like "elder scrolls comparison" videos and stuff before playing Morrowind and even people who ranked Morrowind as the best would almost always say >now the combat is actually AWFUL, but you don't play the game for the combat it's those wacky mushrooms you like! So when I actually played the game I was shocked with how great the RPG combat is in Morrowind. It would honestly take some skill to make a better system/engine for it. What they ended up with is really really good
>>739570771No, same with all other big land mods
>>739573908>amazing, Tod, how will we surpass this? >by never making a game where the player character can look cool again
>>739571820>>739572107>>739572258Morrowind's combat is just fine for what it is, a holdover from the ultima underworld/wizardry era of first person RPGs that were RPGs first and dice roll combat was the standard. It's not incredible, but it's something.The problem came when Oblivion and Skyrim tried to just take the dice rolls away and turn this weightless, 0-commitment button mashing in to the basis for an action RPG.
>>739571820>>739572107>>739572258>Morrowind>Actual RPG mechanics, requiring properly allocated skills, fatigue management, chances to miss and different styles of attack with different damage roll ranges>Skyrim>Left click, left click, left click, open inventory, click potion, close inventory, left click, left click, left click>Level 10 within the first hour play, functionally immortal within 5 hours of starting, spend the next 100 hours left clicking on enemies with zero danger of death
>>739569753CUM NEREVAR
>>739573908The Xavier Ravenblood fit
>>739559856I like how being related to "blood magic" was one of the few aspects of Argonian lore established in Morrowind (and it came from the Argonian NPCs themselves so you can't even wave it off with the racist unreliable narrator excuse), yet no subsequent official media that focused on them like the Greg Keyes novels or ESO touched upon it at all and even fan projects like PTR are kinda reluctant to try and make up an explanation for it

Reminder that any lurking bookfags should check out this TES fanfic by a random /lit/ anon: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/93215/strangers-fate-elder-scrolls
>>739576601I'm skeptical of any fic that's not on ao3 or fanfic.net
>>739574148fine i will honor the sixth house and the tribe unmourned
>>739576826I don't know if the guy uploaded it anywhere else. I found it though the webnovel general's list of anon stories. There's a lot of fanfic on royalroad but it's not the majority.
Is modern Bethesda even aware of projects like TR? Have they learned to treat their fan base better than double-digit-IQ subhumans?
>>739576962Todd'ler knows about these sort of projects even sent Oblivion ReSold copies to the Skyblivion devs
>>739518687https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSjRkcuxBHIHow does the metaphysical world react to the opposite of pic related message where you save souls instead of severing the threads at the appropriate times?
Know your farm tool.
>>739579573The pre-flu map isn't really accurate since according to the PGE every human tribe except for the Kothringi were already gome by the time it happened
>>739575913Ostern set when
FUCK N'WAS!
Fresh game.
>>739538271I firmly believe ESO was the death knell of the series.It is almost certainly the reason we haven't gotten a game in over a decade. And the extra lore additions are REALLY bad. Ithelia alone should send anyone into a frothing rage if they have any love for the series.
>>739528869ESO is canon. Gruesome, I know, but unfortunately true.
>>739549146My hope is that Bethesda collapses before they ever manage to shit out TES6
>>739523225that's retarded, the dwemer weren't dunmer. the dunmer were transformed by azura for betraying her. The dwemer were most likely closer to chimer or altmer
>>739532690I can agree with him, uesp has been enshittened over time
>>739536354>EchmerJesus Christ kill me
>>739561512the protrusion is like a tapir, the whole theme of dagoth ur and the dreamers are based on dreams and the dagoth family was very close to the musical arts(remember the bells?). The tapir is heavily associated with dreams so I believe that's how it was all formed.
friendly reminder that kirkbride's schizo rambling on his fanfiction hugbox forum where he groomed a minor and forced her to marry him is not and never will be canon.
fuck CHIM
>>739582719honestly if the Dwemer did look like that then Azura cursing them with their skin tone is actually pretty funny
>>739583236So true sister! instead we need to follow the words of the people who wrote Starfield
>>739582719Yeah but in Kirkbride's words they look cool blue there fo they are blue
>>739549146ESO IS Kirkbride lore. Kirkbride is a fan of ESO and somewhat regularly chimes in on forums to defend ESO.
>>739583453kirkbride is a retarded faggot without people to rear him in. Similar to george lucas, entertaining but you need to wrangle the tard.
>>739583383Yes
>>739583496Only after his wife buckbroke him and ESO decided to throw him a few bones by including some superficial references to his gibberish (in an usually mocking tone) and Sermon Zero, early on he shat on it pretty hard
>>739583504Yeah but the Dwemer being blue isn't something worth tardwrangling him over
>>739581498I know nothing about Ithoula or whatever and I don't want to check UESP, redpill me on xem and why xey're bad
>>739583706ESO does Kirkbride-tier shit to the lore, like adding time traveling dwemer technology and alternate dimensions that don't have magic. What you have to understand is Kirkbride doesn't want to write fantasy, he wants to write science fiction.
>>739583782it's when you let retards make basic mistakes that you ruin things.
>>739583860literal OC Donut steel ancient and 'lost' Daedra that was more powerful than all the others and made Hermaeus Mora shit and piss himself.and she looks like...some white chick!
>>739518687Why are there daily Morrowind threads? Is this board full of 40 year olds?And yes, I entered this thread because I'm almost 40 myself.
>>739584057This shit looks like a League of Legend skin, are there genuine MMO whalepiggies who actually eat this dogshit up?
>>739583910When people in these threads say something about Kirkbride style shit they're usually referring to the type of worldbuilding seem in the PGE1 or the strange, realistic way he writes mythology and religion, neither of which are things ESO does much, let alone very well>>739583970If the guy who made the thing says it's okay, it's not a basic mistake
>>739584096>Why are there daily Morrowind threads? Is this board full of 40 year olds?Yes, in case you haven't noticed all the zoomers (all third worlders btw) crawled to twitter so all that's left is the jaded old men
>>739584139that's why I compared him to george lucas, you have to tard wrangle.
>>739584103>let's make Meridia 2 and give her Vaermina and Mephala's powers but also the powers of the dreamerThat was their genuine thought process.
>>739584057>literal OC Donut steel ancient and 'lost' Daedra that was more powerful than all the others and made Hermaeus Mora shit and piss himself.Jyggalag?
>>739584619I'm not a big fan of Jyggalag either but at least he's just a primordial Sheogorath.ithelia is the same concept but wholly unique and a literal reiteration of multiple daedra, including Jyggalag
>>739584492And her backstory is just Jyggalag 2.0Honestly the concept of a new daedric prince would have been less retarded if she was just some minor deity who's just not as interested in mundus as the usual 17 princes instead of just doing Jyggalag again
>>739574148anon you don't know what you've done to me with this image. I'm doomed to coom and it's all your fault.
>>739584619https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Daggerfall:On_OblivionJygg was introduced in Daggerfall
>>739574032It really is the best game of the series and its sad because there's so much room for improvement they just never explored and never will explore.
>>739585416he's also an OC donut steel heckin based and blackpilled guy who is so strong all the other daedra had to team up against him but they couldn't kill him in the end because he's just so heckin cool and epicarino
>>739535802AR. it sucks and it takes longer, so i get to savor that beautiful thunder while they scream and run.
>>739585574Yeah so they give him a fate worse than death
>>739576962>>739577546I honestly feel like Tod is being held hostage to some extent by the demonic money worshipping executives or board or whatever. Same as Blizzard with Activision/Kotick and I dunno how many tranoids, literal women, and brown diversity idiots Bethesda has to have on every team now, but probably a lot. >Skyrim's design lead says if you play Morrowind today, you will 'cringe': 'The reality of playing Morrowind would not stand the test of time'>As gaming hot takes go, I'd put that somewhere between blazing inferno and white dwarf, but he didn't stop there. He noted that even Oblivion had "cringe moments" here and there—some of which he claims responsibility for, as he worked on Oblivion as a senior designer—adding that "the further back you go, the more that's going to be an issue. The reality of playing Morrowind would not stand the test of time, in my opinion."This is from the guy who designed Skyrim's magic system, lol >Nesmith "led the charge," on the streamlining of mechanics as the series went on. He wants "the character system out of the players’ way" so they can "Just enjoy the moment." He's also the one who revamped the magic system for Skyrim. Anyway this retard said some really weird shit about Tod Howard that was condescending and disrespectful in the same interview but I can't find it. Seems like the same old demons raging against SOVL and worshipping money.
>>739582719Not all elves are piss yellow. Bosmer are human skin tones and Falmer are milk white. There's precedent for the Dwemer being a different color, especially since they have no documented link to the 'Aldmer' because they were already in Morrowind long before the Chimer.
>>739583910>>739583504Kirkbride wrote all the metaphysical shit that makes TES lore actually amazing when you get into it. You contrarian faggots put more respect on his name.
>>739583910What you have to understand is that fantasy and science fiction weren't distinct genres until the 2000's, and shit as classic and foundational as everything you enjoy as D&D and Ultima featured elements you'd call 'scifi' nowdays.
>>739585776Todd had his chance with Starfield and it was a fucking disasterThe company is finished.
>>739585938The metaphysical shit that doesn't actually appear in any of the games except for ESO?
>>739585938and then he wrote a bunch of fanfiction where he LARPed as Vivec and groomed a minor
>>739585776Todd Howard just knows the stress of working crunch and the looming threat of studio shut down and wants to avoid having to do that ever again. So he always picks the safest route possible.He himself says Morrowind is his favorite TES game. But Morrowind is risky. Something like Oblivion with a LotR fantasy world, or Skyrim with vikings and dragons, is much safer.
>>739585952Really fucking sad and a deep shame if true, and likely is true. Just like Blizzard.
>>739585952The idea for Starfield was introduced to Bethesda by Michael Kirkbride. Kirkbride wanted to make a game where you're a martian pirate, nobody else there wanted to do that before he proposed it.
>>739586064Todd is on record as saying Starfield is a game he wanted to make for 20 yearsHe had his shot at it and it was an unmitigated disaster.Morrowind was a fluke and the only good game Bethesda made.
>>739586002Something like an 80 man team made Morrowind and it was profitable. I do not know the inner workings of a studio though, but I don't think any of the big ones are working on passion projects that approach high art, rather they're making console games to target the biggest demographic of normies and utilizing microtransactions to extract more revenue. A truly great movie can be profitable. It can cost 9 million and make 50 million and be a masterpiece, but it will probably never make a billion, ever while some absolute piece of shit movie like Disney Star Wars clears it easily. >>739585990It's in Morrowind and Oblivion for sure. You may just be a jealous retard. >>739585997oh no! anyway
>>739586064I like how the niggas who hate Kirkbride are always either like>MK never did anything ever, he just pretends he didor>MK did everything and that's bad
>>739586114Kirkbride proposed the idea of a space game in the 90s.
>>739586114Morrowind was not a fluke, it was the product of an increasingly perfected design philosophy towards making a truly great open world 1st person rpg with unique Bethesda(tm) mechanics like levelling skills on use. The idea is amazing. Oblivion is not bad even as a watered down console game that has massive flaws - it is still good. Skyrim is... a good game too, it's just not really an rpg.
>>739551904> I look like this and lay my squid babies in your drinking water like this
>>739586124>Something like an 80 man team made Morrowind and it was profitableIt was awful a stressful production that could've had the plug pulled any second and was considered the ride-or-die game of the studio with loads of crunch time. Part of the reason it was allowed to be weird was because half the staff had a "fuck it, it doesn't matter" attitude towards it. It also was profitable back in the early 2000s, when it was much easier for these kinds of games to be profitable. Studios are much more risk-averse now.I get wanting another Morrowind, I do too, but I understand why Todd just wants to take the easy road and give his staff the easy road too.
>>739585776The thing about the Nesmith interview was how absurdly confident he was in his absolutely dogshit opinion, how it went against everything that made the series popular and how he expected everyone would just automatically agree with him that RPGs and worldbuilding are lame.
>>739586150it's almost as if all these things are done over time collaboratively, and no one person is responsible for the things some enjoy and others don't. but that couldn't be. where's pete?! bring him out, the NMA's flogging arms are getting rusty.
>>739585938He tarnished his name over time. People change for the worse sometimes.
Who is canonically the hottest milf/cougar in Elder Scrolls?
>>739586592
>>739586150There's one main guy in these threads who's mind broken by him to the point where I think he got bullied by him on the official forums back in the day or something and he's too autistic to move on.
>>739586389Okay but at the time Morrowind was ground breaking technology. Surely 24 years has made replicating that achievement much easier. We don't need some cutting edge graphics world that blows everyone away. Morrowind's graphics are sufficient, even in 2026, to be immersive and inspire awe and joy. That's all you need. Something like Daggerfall, for me anyway, simply does not reach that threshold, and Morrowind does, but obviously not spectacularly, though I genuinely think it has the best graphics (including things like menus, UI, inventory, book animations, what have you - all of which are GODAWFUL in Skyrim, and all of which contribute to the rpg feel) but they'd really only have to improve a couple of things a little bit and they;d be capable of producing games of that quality I think much faster than when they have to try their best to add a bunch of new epic features that no game has ever seen before and put all their focus on impressive visuals and FINALLY GETTING IT SO ALL THE NPCS ARE REAL PEOPLE and the player character can just live their life as a shoe salesman among them or some shit like they seem to be obsessed with. I dunno I feel like Bethesda could have a "classic rpg" team and try to make a successor to Morrowind with "retro" graphics. The real issue is, something better or equal to Morrowind probably takes real genius from some people and I bet Bethesda is full of the same dyed hair troons as Blizzard and all game studios are now. We honestly need some Japanese westernophile to grow up obsessed with Bethesda and make a studio to replicate the games lol
>>739586415Everyone does agree though. Skyrim is the bestselling game ever, and normies genuinely and always think that roleplaying is gay unless it's something like grand theft auto and then it's "cool." They don't have souls. They will return to dust. They don't understand any of this, can't, and never will.
>>739586638>Actual bodycount in the hundredsNo.
>>739586197I would argue nothing mechanically speaking in any of those games was particularly noteworthy, and that it was the worldbuilding (Kirkbride) and characters that did the trick. That’s why Starfield was such an unbelievable flop and why the only Bethesda-era Fallout anyone still talks about is the one not made by Bethesda.There’s no other explanation for why the gameplay has been objectively improving over time, even if part of that is making it no longer an RPG, but the games have unequivocally become worse overall.
>>739586150After starfield bethesda really doesn't have the highest shill budget
>>739586002>he always picks the safest route possible>goes for 10 years long 500m project rather than multiple cheaper gamesYeah no. This is the most stereotypical hubristic corpo gamble ever.Face it, he's just a greedy trendchaser.
>>739586771Anon, your average Skyrimfag oohs and aahs about their superficial undersanding of the deeplore shit, they love it. Also games like Expedition 33 prove that it's not RPG mechanics stopping games from being successful. Skyrim ended up popular because it came out in a popular series at the perfect time for the viking fantasy crowd, not because it removed RPG mechanics or because it used the same pantheon as Oblivion did rather than giving Nords their own.
>>739518687>Superman...
>>739586716TES6 will be a fully AI powered gameAll NPCs will be running CoPilot+ powered agentic AIs that make them LIVING BREATHING people. Radiant quests will live up to their original dream because the GODHEAD AI system that manages YOUR version of Tamriel will dynamically create brand new, fully voiced acted, immersive stories and quests that are wholly unique to your world.THIS is the dream that Bethesda has been chasing and the culmination of decades of work. And the best part is that it all works seamlessly thanks to the power of CoPilot and xCloud.
>>739586801>nothing noteworthy Show me any games anything like Bethesda rpgs then. >single player one character (not a party game like bioware rpgs or baldurs gate) >open world designed to be as big as possible >actually an rpg and not an action game And when you say >gameplay objectively improving I completely disagree. First, gameplay in an RPG should involve figuring things out, travelling and exploring, and how well this is implemented massively impacts "gameplay," which I don't think people appreciate enough. Adding global fast travel from level 1 and a literal arrow to follow is basically a death blow to the entire concept, even if I can enjoy Oblivion and Skyrim. Those two things must be removed. >more gameplay Oblivion has terrible combat. Much worse than Morrowind. Skyrim's combat I also think is worse than morrowind. >rpg gameplay bro if you like STATS and levelling your STATS and using MENUS to access MAGIC and making your own SPELLS and your own POTIONS and your own ENCHANTMENTS, and also using magic to do all sorts of stuff that's not "torch enemy" then Morrowind has... much better gameplay.
>>739585776How are there retards still pretending that Todd has any kind of artistic merit or integrity and isn't just a greedy fucking jew who wants to make the most amount of money possible by making slop written by his buttbuddy emil
>>739586801>the gameplay has been objectively improving over timeAbsolutely nothing objective about this.I'm not saying nothing in IV and V was better, but the steps back were far more than the very few improvements.
>>739587118>>actually an rpg and not an action gameI guess that counts out like half of Bethesda's own games
>>739587197I literally don't know anything about the man personally, but what's happened to Bethesda is happening to all game studios that produced S0VL that benefited people's minds and spirits and would have benefited their children. This simply cannot be allowed to continue. Any high, meaningful, beautiful art has to be completely stopped in its tracks. Also posting this little duel some other guy made as a response to the whiners about Morrowind's "bad" combat. Just a 1v1 with a spear and it looks like it handles pretty well to me
>>739587118>Show me any games anything like Bethesda rpgs then.Mechanically? Tainted Grail is basically Skyrim+ (Enderal+ really).
>>739587238Well this is a Morrowind thread, so sure. You did start by saying Morrowind offered nothing groundbreaking besides story though, which imo is a hugely misleading way to praise the game since the actual gameplay is just legitimately good, even in 2026. I'm literally 60 hours into my first playthrough and can't believe people even debate this shit. I'm an Oblivion nostalgia enjoyer but I tried doing a little dual playthrough and I gave up on Oblivion like 6 hours in. Not because Oblivion is bad. I like Oblivion, but Morrowind just sort of btfos it in a lot of ways. I'll definitely still replay Oblivion sometime, maybe mod it. I love the silly atmosphere to just hang out in Cyrodil and do stuff, but it's not of the same quality and it's weird as fuck to switch between goofy cartoon world with menus and big ass buttons designed for xbox and the actually very realistic and exceptionally designed menus and visuals of morrowind.
>>739587301what do you mean he understands the mechanics and enjoys using them to win?
>>739587508I don't understand this question in response to my post at all.
>>739542317Yeah all dunmers are n'wahs.
>>739585952FO76 is Zenimax forcing it (possibly seeing the relative success of TESO) and Starfield was Todd's pet project (which he probably got the leverage to push through following Skyrim's success).Ultimately BGS had one shot at a major success without serious reforms and that would have been to do TES6 after FO4, it would probably have been bland to fans and suffered from some of the same problems as starfield but it would have at least sold well because>release during covid>would have been a handcrafted world, which BGS is at least more than decent at>would have been based on TES lore which is harder to fuck up by talenless writers than a new IP, and has brand appeal.>would not compare too unfavourably technically speaking with some of the major RPG release of that time like release Cyberpunk or Outer worlds
Bros if I progress too far in the main story will I get locked out of any Telvanni progression? I sort of want to get it done but not sure based on what I've heard
>>739587301I should do a hammer run again. There's something satisfying about hitting a guy and they just fucking go down.
>>739587914Nah, you're free to continue whenever.iirc only the temple gets locked out when you claim the title of nerevarine.
>>739588095I love the feedback in Morrowind combat. Things die in 2-4 hits of a decent sized weapon generally so misses are good, actually, and when you do connect 2 or 3 in a row it's like crack crack dead. feels good man.
Gonna make an Argonian spear/bow guy who uses dot poison spells and paralysis (dart*) spells and can't venture more than a mile away from the coast to see what I can get up to :D
>>73958761576 is the best Fallout Bethesda made now.
>>739587535i was being sarcastic. no, he proves right there how effective it can be using nothing. morrowind is actually the easiest elder scrolls game to play. you can just sit and play it for fun and win of you pay it the slightest attention.
>>739525220boss baby vibes...
>going to start a new TR playthrough>figure a necromancer living in someones ancestral tomb with necrocraft would be perfect for it>generic necromancers don't give you the secrets to becoming more powerful, only preset named ones on vvardenfell doFuck.
What's the best favourite attribute for archer? It's agility usually? Doesn't say anything about marksman in Morrowind tho
>>739589152Speed and strength.If you're slow you're going to get your ass beat, and strength affects both ranged damage & movement speed from carry weight.
>>739589152Marksman is governed by Agility, yeah
>>739589226I'll try to level speed through training. On my first character I tried to max speed every level with the logic that... movement speed is typically the best stat in every game ever. I find my character now with 100 speed moves a bit too fast lol and I usually walk in interiors.
>>739589060Are you using necrocraft by chance? How's the lich gameplay?
>>739588645It's a real bummer Morrowind doesn't have Oblivion's weapon poisoning system. Would be a great way to give negative effect potions a purpose beyond skill grinding and money making, and also making good use of the Argonians' alchemy skill bonus for roleplaying purposes as your post demonstrates
>>739589060why is the punishment for necrophilia so crazy in morrowind anyways
>>739589429I would have 100% picked alchemy as a major skill if you could poison darts, throwing weapons, arrows, daggers, etc. Morrowind is crazy because it's so good, still the best, but a lot of the stuff just isn't quite perfect yet... if only they made sequels
>>739589152>didn't fall into the trap of picking Luck as a favoured stat because "it's hard to level it"I gazed upon your post and knew you were my n'wah
>>739589398Nah, can't speak much on it, I just learned that you need to besmooch all the random necromancers you meet on vvardenfell for various power spikes.>>739589525Prior to the tribunal setting up the big gate that runs on souls the entire dunmer culture was centered around ancestor worship, modern day I imagine it's a combination of denying resources to hold back the blight and despising some n'wah using their grandpa as a packguar fleshlight hybrid.
speed as a favorite attribute + the steed birthsign is actually the most powerful build of all but that's a conversation people aren't ready for

>tfw the journey begins swimming out at night to rob some graves
>>739589645>The Empire sees this and seethes
>>739546568If you spend long enough getting all the guildmaster stat and skill thresholds the game will have completely fallen apart in terms of immersion from the act of being an omnigod long before being the master of all guilds feels narratively underbaked.
>>739587386tainted grail wishes it was half as good as either of those.

>>739546568You can solve this by just always making RP appropriate decisions though
>>739518992>filthy prisoner? I'm census office
>>739591018Yeah. Skyrim's main crime isn't that it allows you to become guildmaster of every guild, it's that it allows you to do so with level 5 in all skills.
when is spam fast click attack better than hold down and how long do you need to hold down for to get max power?
>>739578943You can actually save him? wtf how?
>>739590192So does MCP though.
>>739589429There's a potion throwing mod for openmw that fills that gap nicely. It's subject to the same abuses as all alchemy though, you can make a super poison and crack vivec across the face with a bottle and watch him go down in one hit.
>>739590774>>739589645https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8a3gjt_Ar0
>>739591534>when is spam fast click attack better than hold downstrong weapon enchantments, when you're intentionally trying to train weapon skills, or for weapons with very low min-max damage ranges>how long do you need to hold down for to get max poweralways assumed it was the moment the "wind up" animation finishes, and a quick google seems to confirm it. you don't have to sit there and like power up the hit
>>739591534Look at the damage range of the weapon. The min damage is what you get for a click, max is what you get for letting the entire draw back animation complete. Something like a dagger will have the same min and max damage, meaning spam clicking gets max DPS, while a big weapon can have a uselessly low min damage and massive max.
>>739586592lady syl got it goin on
>>739592254ty>>739592316oh shit, i just assumed it was a damage range like how spells can work

>>739593057I have a high res pic of the poster map that i reference a fair bit lol also wtf, Morrowind youtube reviewers told me pickpocket is literally impossible to do and is completely broken but I got this guy on my 1st try with just a basic ass starter chameleon spell... were the Morrowind youtube reviewers wrong again?
>>739583453Nobody will ever be happy until they fucking remember that Kirkbride regards ES canon as entirely open source, and you're free to disregard anything he likes as non-canon if you feel like it.

I had to run from like 4 combats and I died after killing the first dark brotherhood assassin then resting from like 10% hp and the 2nd one attacked me and I swam through water and died to those stupid fish I got quite a bit stronger by just going to balmora and buying a weapon and stuff.

>>739598086ya but i dont want to cheat, i feel like asking npcs for help on here is okay
>>739599102pretty based in a "he definitely has autism" kinda way.you can either hide behind the pillar or grab some artifacts from any dwemer ruin, you don't actually have to steal them lmao
>I'M NOT A BIG FAN OF ARGONIANShttps://youtube.com/watch?v=QgOCaqgzpmM
>>739597093just want to say i've played the game many times and i've probably had more trouble with that exact quest than any others in the entire game. i still don't know the proper way to do it and end up jumping around like a retard trying to find the perfect hiding in plain sight spot to pick the chest

Why do Morrownigger seethe when you point out that Morrowind combat is bad and Skyrim and every other game mogs it in every way? hell i argue that Daggerfall, despite having the same combat is better than Morrowind combat.
>>739601558Daggerfall doesn't have the same combat as Morrowind. In daggerfall, fatigue doesn't affect how good your skills are. It's more like a second health pool. You also, by default, swing the mouse like your weapon in Daggerfall combat, which is an insane gimmick but I always thought it was cool. As far as I'm aware those are the only hard mechanical differences.
>>739601558you haven't played daggerfall evidently
>>739601558bait used to be believable
How much bigger is Almalexia than Narsis lore wise? How are they even gonna accomplish that?
>>739603638Almalexia will most likely actually be smaller than Narsis
>>739603638we'll be lucky if it ends up being bigger than Balmora
>>739518992I.. I get it!
>>739519837lel
>>739589152Agility sucks, it's worth 0.2 times the same amount of weapon skill. Speed is always good unless you're gonna use le boots.
almost therealready saw a few outliers which I need to remove and re-addhope it was worth the effort
>>739600818>when the base gets so comically loud it's impossible to even hear the lyricsKino
>>739600818Makes me think of this
>>739600818Original is better. Shouldn't have bothered
>>739571369wow masayoshi tarhiel
>>739528910Because you go from having no parts of the day that try to kill you for simply existing to half of your day doing just that.Vampires being the slime that lives in tombs and caves for hundreds of years is honestly a far more realistic outcome than them ending up in any positions of power whatsoever.
>>739536354Worst shit under the sun of TES by a country mile. If you make your silly little bat people live on their silly little island in the middle of nowhere, they absolutely do not get access to CHIM, Towers, and the Ability to destroy gods.Worst part about Uutak is honestly that the guy who made it refuses to leave the fandom.
>>739604851It's pretty fun.Did a playthrough on the previous version. The most recent one seems a bit better (although I'll miss some of the shit they removed, like AA)
>>739521854Spooky
>>739591847Ranged Slowfall or Levitation spells are the easiest way.

Taking a stab in the dark here: Does anyone else suffer from eye strain when playing Morrowind? I'm using OpenMW and looking at the game for more than 10 seconds makes my eyes uncomfortable and a minute gives me a sharp pain and dizziness. I tried fucking around with the FOV but it doesn't do anything. It feels like everything is too close, like my head is pushed up against the screen and there's some sort of distortion. I lowered the resolution to a 4:3 and it helped but didn't fix it. I'm guessing it has something to do with the game being designed before widescreen and meant to be played on a CRT.
>>739609674Play on a smaller screen and in a room with better lighting, that solves most problems.
>>739609826Sadly I only have my 27 inch and my room is well lit. It only happens in rare cases like with D2 but I fixed that by turning off perspective. I have the same problem with PoE2, something about the perspective or angle fucks with my eyes.
>>739609674I get it if I've been away from the game for a year or two, same with Oblivion. Goes away pretty fast though, couple hours maybe.
I just received a strike on my Guartibe channel for hate speech on 16+ year old video that was unlistedit wasn't even me saying the ((goblin)) word
>>739518687Wait I thought OpenMW was just an engine update, now Im suddenly seeing fags claiming it ruins the whole experience?
>>739611172It doesn't ruin the whole thing, it just changes how shit works in small ways for better or worse. There's an anon who shills it pretty hard here to the point where he wants to dance on MWSE's grave for whatever reason, I suspect bad autism but it could be the dev. Either way, it should be fine. Some mods won't work on OpenMW but that's about it.
>>739611172some people have genuine hateboner for OpenMW either because they fervently believe that MGE XE/MWSE is the only way to mod their game or cite some ancient drama between OpenMW and MWSE devs, obviously not everyone is a lunatic of the highest proportions can list genuine reasons like mods not providing same complex functionality OpenMW is catching up and steadily gives nice alternatives when it comes to modsin short: both fill their niche and Morrowind is still a fantastic game fuck N'wahs
>>739611172It changes a lot of things under the hood, some subtle, some not, most are toggleable.One thing that really threw me off in retrospect is that apparently in vanilla MW, an attack is calculated as a hit or miss the instant it starts, rather than during the movement of the hurtbox during the animation. I'd gotten so used to dancing in an out of enemy range in Oblivion that when I went back to OMW a few years back I had no idea you couldn't actually do that normally.
>>739528869does the unofficial skyrim mod faggot still put shitty trivials of his mod "fixing" things
>>739518992Halo... It's over.
>>739518753delicious skyrimfag tears
>>739538271And that's a good thing!Bethesda sucks
>>739612601bethesda didn't make ESO
>>739612815Even more reason to disregard it
>>739538271There used to be a time when >ESO made TES lore great again, it brought back Morrowind-era uniquenessWas a commonly parroted opinion on /v/, now it's only occasionally repeated by a few stragglers. And most of the people who do like ESO now shit on morrowfags pretty hard instead of trying to fraternize with them
>>739613124The problem with ESO isn't the concepts, which aren't worse than Skyrim's, it's just the relatively low budget/manpower for each region and the MMO framework which makes the actual execution dull.
https://ghostchoir9.com/index.htmlAt least we'll get something for the 25th anniversary, since I doubt BGS will release anything.
the few genuine gems in ESO are sadly not worth the ocean of shit you have to wade through to get to them
>>739614487It's also a fucking MMO so it's a chore to play
>>739571965>canonically gayDoes fucking EVERYTHING have to come down to 21st century western neurosis? >omg he's GAY™ just like in muh heckin pride parades i know what that is!No. There are weird sexual undertones because Dagoth Ur is an insane, evil demigod who has been driven to madness by millennia of seething resentment and is now trying to bring about the end of days through his cult. Gay, straight, fuck off.
>>739615637Why are you so mad about the equivalent of a Bronze Age general liking booty?
>>739614265I'd rather it was Goodall, he gets us
Dagoth Ur is a chad schizo while Almalexia is a cringe schizo and unfaithful.no surprise people prefer the former.
>>739614265They'll probably just release another one of these anniversary art pieces that are clearly made by a guy who has never touched a TES game beyond ESO and SkyrimLike for real, check his Morrowind anniversary art, it exclusively uses ESO designs and some of the shit there wasn't even in TES III: Morrowind at all, only in ESO's Morrowind's
>>739528869>>739538271>>739581823This guy redeemed (do not do it mam) ESO lore years ago.
>>739615637>>omg he's GAY™ just like in muh heckin pride parades i know what that is!No he's gay because he's evil
>>739617232desu the sea slug Sload design is like the only good thing to have come out of ESO
>>739617380Not reallyAnd even if it was, the Sload from Redguard, N'Gasta, is supposed to be a regular Sload
>>739617232where is the cat?
>>739617573He was too much of a pussy to pose for the photo.
>>739518753(you) sound upset.
>>739617502>N'Gasta, is supposed to be a regular SloadHe looks like a lamprey while regular sloads look like tardigrades. I think there should be different types of sload, though I dislike the ESO sea sload design.
>>739617232>some of the shit there wasn't even in TES III: MorrowindNearly all if it really. It put a lot of focus on Sotha Sil and Almalexia despite the fact they weren't in Morrowind's main quest at all and the guy wasn't really trying to represent the expansions judging by the complete lack of anything from Bloodmoon.
>>739599407Why do Argonians literally :D
>>739617232>mfw honkeys turn a brotha into a disney prince
>>739617232The bethesda account hasn't tweeted any new art like this in over almost a year and they've missed a few anniversaries so I think the artist might have left
>>739619205>He thinks Cyrus would give a fuck about that shit when his best friend is a Nord
>>739619651Imperials are honkeys, nords are white brothas, bretons are pederasts.
>>739518687Why does this meme always try to depict someone falling or dropping in. In the movie he was flying fast sideways trying to catch someone.
>>739518687https://litter.catbox.moe/3c4qcp5m3xo456p8.mp4
>>739619894Because the notion of diving face-first into the ground with that determined expression at terminal velocity is amusing.
>>739621235how
>>739622462Try it and find out
>>739603638Almalexia and Narsis seem to be *very* roughly of the same order of magnitude according to Arena and the morrowind concept map, but that's not up to date lore, Almalexia is canonically larger, but probably not more than a few times larger.
>>739622704In PTR planning Almalexia is specifically one of the continent's top 5 cities. Current tentative plan has it about 2.5 times the size of Narsis or so.
I look forward to the day I'll be able to walk into Mournhold (CITY OF LIGHT, CITY OF MMMAGIC) rather than teleport in.
>>739623206You're gonna have to wait another generation for the second remakes of all the areas surrounding the city, once the fresh team of people born during covid is full of vigor and optimism not remembering the horrors of the historical 2030 'Bungling of Almalexia'
