Dagoth Garesis a minister of theSixth Housewho can be found at theshrineofIlunibi, provided you are on the related quest.
killed him a couple days ago. I'm also glad we're getting a resurgence of Morrowind threads, it must be that upcoming TR update but I can't complain
>>745008656So.. I guess I have to ask, why make the thread about this character?Whats so special about him?
>>745009763i like his proboscis
>>745008656If I take off that proboscis would he die?
>>745010132Most likely yes
>>745010132That's a good question actually. Ash zombies appear to be an earlier stage of Ash Ghoul without the strange appendage, and they evidently get around just fine without it. In general, the sixth house ash creatures all appear to be undead in some way.
>Look! It's Azura's Fool! Look at you. Not a real thing at all. Just a pathetic puppet of prophecy. And you think you can trust the Daedra Lords?>Ah, she's sucked you in with her pretty prophecies. Promised you power, did she? Promised you justice, did she? And when did a Daedra Lord ever fulfill a promise? Such a faulty memory you have.Holy trvke
>>745009803all ash ghouls have a proboscis
I like the 6th house bells and the statues.They felt cursed in a way few items in games are.
>>745011672Counterpoint: She is lovely.
>>745012187I never understood why Snowy here was a meme until I watched someone play Morrowind completely blind and make the foolish mistake of not wandering off for 20+ hours before coming back to Caius and actually starting the main quest.
>>745012875>Snowywho?
>>745012875The first 1~2 hours of Morrowind are full of moments where the game just kicks you square in the nuts. The guy on the bridge isn't even that bad, you can cheese him. But then he is immediately followed by the Dwemmer Puzzle Cube which has a 100% rate of making people feel like they're idiots.Yours truly right here spent several hours dying and going back to that dungeon, turtling my way until the end despite being low level, and I couldn't find the stupid cube.
Zalkin Grotto… home…
>>745013068Snowy Granius, the Imperial guy at the bridge of the dwemer cube dungeon who summons a skeleton and throws lightning at you
>>745013168He also has a Bound Spear if he remembers to cast it. Very easy to get one-shot by it if you're low level.
>>745013068You know? Snowy Granius? The great noob filter of Morrowind?
>>745013068This dude is right outside the first main quest dungeon and he will wreck low level players because he summons a skeleton and uses a type of weapon that is absolutely busted when NPC use them.
>>745013137the funny thing is that this cube is located at the start of the dungeon. The issue is that most player don't look up and see the door on the upper floor that contains the cube.
>>745013283>>745013323oh that fuck, I didn't even look at him much but I remember, he attacks on a bridge right?He was a bit of a pain
>>745013527The rock ramp that takes you there isn't that obvious either
>>745016871what are they doing
>>745012875Him, the DB assassins and Addamasartus are the great Morrowind filters
>>745016871Morrowind prerelease shots are always interesting to me
>>745017964Just hanging out.>>745018263Yeah, they are. I wish I could get my hands on the build these screenshots came from.
>>745019051I don't think it was a real build, they probably had the 3d models done and just shopped together something that looked like what they wanted the final product to be.
>>745019123Even so, I would still like to have the assets.
>>745012095I love gamer girl Azura
>>745012095>"you pick all the wrong skills, get ready for a rough time"There's no bigger gigachad move than making a custom class in a game where you have no idea what any of the skills do. Azura god gamer confirmed.
>>745018159and the mudcrab you can't hit with the starting dagger because you have no short blade skill
>>745021584>the starting daggerIts interesting to see how many people thought this was placed there for the player to use as a weapon when its nothing more than environmental story telling (Note to Hrisskar). Perhaps they wanted to create a quest involving it but you don't get the option to discuss the note or the dagger with either Hrisskar or Ganciele
>>745022798It shows how much game design has changed over the years. Back then I saw it as a tutorial for showing you how to equip and ready a weapon, I never once used it. I was used to playing RPGs though so I knew what weapon skills I had selected
>>745008656Isn't he the one who fucks up Dagoth Ur plans by infecting you with Corpus?
First playthrough, 33 hours in, just completed The Path of the Incarnate and collected the 3 objects. When should I put the main quest on pause and do the expansion content? Is the expansion content even worth it? Is Solstheim worth it?
>>745023351Everyone has corpus in Dagoth's ideal world so no?
>>745023485Expansions are post game, both of them.
>>745023485Expansion content is generally harder and not too interesting. I still think you should play it after beating the game if you enjoy your time in MW.
me on the bottom right
>>745023648>Playing as a b*ast raceS
>>745023798>t. elf head mojo
>>745023506Yeah, but Dagoth's ideal world can only come around if he's not stopped by the Nerevarine.And part of the prophecy says that the Nerevarine shall be immune to all diseases, including the Blight.So by infecting your character with Corpus (after taking the experimental cure from Dyvath Fyr, which suppress the symptoms), he allows them to fulfil the prophecy and the become the Nerevarine., since the Corpus makes you immune to all diseases.If he never did that final fuck you, your character would have never be able to become the Nerevarine and Dagoth Ur plans would have succeeded.
>>745023852diasporoids always resting on the laurels of others
>>745023852It's a shame that nothing, not Bethesda/Zenimax nor Beyond Skyrim nor Project Tamriel went ahead with that gritty voodoo headhunter vibe from that pic for the Argonians, too problematic i guess
>>745023858Fate works in mysterious ways. It's just one event of many.
*checks notes* that is correct! number 18 in alphabetical orderi like to trap the soul of every dagoth, (all 44 of them), lay them out on a shelf a put an ash statue next to each of them
>>745023485Tribunal has okayish story but absolutely terrible gameplayBloodmoon is much better but its story is meh, not really connected to nerevarineBoth are supposed to be played after main story, even if it makes no sense story or gameplay (goblins stronger than dagoth ur) wise
>>745024814I too this day don’t understand how anyone can like sewer dungeons. I always avoid them when I can.
>>745023858Dagoth Ur would have done the same
>>745008656For a long time I thought this guy spawned in as soon as you began the game, and you could kill him early to get corprus and skip almost all of Caius's portion of the main quest.Then I recently found out the only reason that happened was because I had been playing tes3mp, which was pretty buggy and spawned in all scripted NPCs from the beginning.
This sounds like creepypasta but I swear there is an npc bandit that spawns behind me when I enter some cave in each playthrough. Sometimes it's early in the playthrough, sometimes it's late. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out if it was some mod (even though I have very few) but never found anything. I also have a memory of looking up his name but it wasn't listed anywhere. I recently updated my mod list even things like patch for purists so we'll see how this playthrough will go.
>>745027445>skip almost all of Caius's portion of the main questI mean you can do that, bit not because of that. One of the greatest things Morrowind does in my opinion is that you can totally complete the main quest objective without any scripts being mandatory. If you brute force your way even wraithguard can be skipped.
>>745027769Kek, this happens in Oblivion with the Spell Tomes DLC conjurer, who hunts you down no matter where you are just so that he can drop you a spell tome to pick up. Because everyone today is playing with the DLC on the moment you start the game, you know to expect him early on, but it would make for a fun jumpscare if he had more time variance on when he spawned.You also probably could make a fun mod about some cursed artifact or something with persistent pursuing enemies etc.
For me, it’s a fleeting memory of jumping through ash storms in some desolate area and finding a rather creepy Imperial style fort with skeletons on it.I’ve never seen that place again, so I assume that it is from a mod, but confirming it is impossible because that memory is from 20 years ago and there’s no way to remember what mods I had back then. But I still wonder where exactly it was and if there’s any chance that it was vanilla content. And no, it was not the skeleton fort island added by the free official addon.
>>745030170Morrowind Rebirth is fairly old (2011) and has a ton of extra little places like that. might have been that
>>745009763This post gave me Corprus.

Anvil is comfy as fuck brosWhen are we getting more from P.C?
>>745037185Sutch probably won't be next year, but 2028 is very likely. They're about to finish the exteriors, but I think they are lumping the Anvil redo with that release.
>>745037269Oh they’re re-doing Anvil? Wonder why it seems alright to me but I’ve only done the Mages Guild and half of kingdom of anvil It was cool being able to run from Anvil to Karthwasten though
>>745037372the 'anvil redo' is not anvil itself but the coastline/interior and seazones, I guess they weren't really satisfied with the first release
>>745037185Earliest we can expect it is late 2027 and that depends on when they release Markarth. Since they're also updating Anvil and Markath might be delayed, I wouldn't count on it.>>745037535A bit of context: they finished many of the assets just before the release, so they didn't have time to use them. It's mostly a minor graphical change, but there will also be catacombs and the ruins of the old Anvil. It will essentially be a continuation of the main quest in the Kingdom of Anvil with the vampires and all that.
>>745037535Asset additions claims 2 and 4 suggest that they will be added to Poison Song released
>>745022798I remember someone pointed out that no one would actually use the iron dagger. Either you don't have the skill for it, or you do have the skill and you'll immediately buy a better short blade. Only people that use it are ones playing on autopilot that just go stab mudcrabs so they can bitch about hitchance

>>745027445>tes3mp, which was pretty buggy and spawned in all scripted NPCs from the beginningDagoth Gares actually exists by default, but the scripting that runs when you start the game disables himIn TES3MP you have to manually run those startup scripts with a chat command when you make a new server (don't ask me why)
>>745041652no
>>745012875>mistake of not wandering off for 20+ hours before coming back to Caius and actually starting the main quest.>20+ hoursliterally just make a stereotypical cookie cutter build and you can kill this guy at level 1 with no gear. The reason people go wrong in this game is they try and make their own build without understanding anything about the game.orc warrior Strength level at level 1 >10/10Argonian scout Strength level at level 1 >10/10etc
>>745013137I didn't have an issue with the cube because I was autistically checking every nook and cranny anyway, so I found it naturally. I mean, it's just sitting there and it's early enough in the game that you should be scrounging around for anything and everything of value anyway.

>>745057663>boring questsAnon... You might want to sit down for this...Morrowind and its mods... are 99% boring quests.
>>745057663>Anon, the only thing they've releasedOh, yeah figured it'd either be a whole lotta nothing or some ESO asset flip stuff.

My big problem was that I was a skyrimbabby, so going into the game I figured buying gear was stupid and I'd just loot whatever I needed (which I could have done if I wasn't a heavy armor build). So I fought people wearing nothing but an iron spear and an iron breastplate and 40 spear skill, no magic and 2 health potions. If anyone was wondering what a retards first experience is like.
>>745022798For me it was the skyrim/oblivion mindset of "why waste money on anything when you can just loot it all from leveled enemies". Boy was I in for a rough time.
>>745057754That's just not true. Morrowind quests (and mods) usually start out pretty simple but later develop into something interesting. Side quests are a mixed bag but there are a lot of them and they're usually really good in mods. To give you some context, the main quest in Beyond Skyrim Bruma is about helping the guards and it literally just 3 simple quests with nothing interesting happening.
>>745037917>benirus cryptI love the dev's softspot for Oblivion
>>745057561Very little has been released but what they've shown is pretty cool. I'd recommend checking out the streams for the projects, they're pretty comfy.
>>745058023>Morrowind quests (and mods) usually start out pretty simple but later develop into something interestinggo get [THING] from [PLACE] is the majority of Morrowind questsPTR improves that but only slightly
>>745058078It's nice to see them not being bitter about Oblivion and Skyrim and giving credit where credit is due.>>745058194You could describe any RPG that way. The point is that the places you visit, the things you find, and the reasons behind it all are actually interesting. Otherwise you'd just have Radiant quests.
>>745058317>the places you visit, the things you find, and the reasons behind it all are actually interesting>this is a tomb>we put dead elves here>this is a dwemer ruin>we put dead elves here>this is a House Dagoth stronghold>we put undead elves hereso many interesting dungeons
>>745058439You do realize that you're describing all the TES games and most RPGs, right?
>>745058591yeahso why are you acting like Morrowind is different? it's a standard TES game with a slightly wacky layer of bug-and-shroom paint on it
>>745058669But Morrowind is different. There's a reason people are still talking about its lore and story. Meanwhile Skyrim and Oblivion literally contradict themselves
>>745058751brother, there are massive debates about Stormcloak vs Empire constantly on very social media sitemeanwhile Morrowind "lore" people talk about is half non-canon shit either from the in-game fake stories made up by the biggest liar in Tamriel, farted out by Kirkbride on some dead forum or Reddit thread, or made up from whole cloth by fans that's only cared about by autists in minor nerd places
>>745058957>there are massive debates about Stormcloak vs EmpireIs this a bait?
>>745057561Not really comparable. TR is basically an autistic archaeology project that's been iterating on the same province for 20 years and has a pretty strict style bible.Beyond Skyrim is more like 6 different Skyrim mod teams wearing one trenchcoat. Some of the landscaping/architecture looks great, but the writing and implementation are very "large Skyrim mod". Bruma was fine as a walking simulator but nothing in it made me think they were secretly Bethesda 2.0.
>>745060059>TR is basically an autistic archaeology project that's been iterating on the same province for 20 years and has a pretty strict style bible.BS has been around for 15 years.
>>745060137>BS has been around for 15 years.And how much do they have to show for it?
>>745057810Believe it or not, Beyond Skyrim technically has the exact same policy towards ESO as PTR does. That is, the lore of the game they're modding and other things that came before ESO take priority and they're not required to change their plans to fit ESO lore or take things from it. The difference is that their devs generally have a more positive attitude towards ESO than the PTR guys, so they reference it more often, and some projects like Argonia take a lot from it to the point you could argue it's primarily ESO-inspired, while Project Tamriel/Tamriel Rebuilt is developed by people who are a lot more vocal about how boring and bad they think ESO is and thus they have barely anything at all from it in their mod. I think literally the only major lore thing they got from ESO is the concept of the Reachmen conquering the Imperial City at one point.
>>745012095>what in oblivion is foyadamany such cases
>>745060486Isn't Beyond Skyrim Anvil City just a 1-to-1 copy of ESO Anvil?
>>745061232We haven't seen it yet because they're afraid to show it since it's not finished.
>>745059021Obviously.

There's nothing to discuss; both sides are portrayed in a very shallow manner in typical modern Bethesda style. People are literally coming up with very convoluted explanations that have absolutely nothing to do with the games. It's the same crap as Bethesda's Fallout.

>>745062191You know, most of these theories basically exist just to try to justify the crap Bethesda pulled in Oblivion and Skyrim. Theories limited to Morrowind are more down-to-earth and, at most, focus on the fate of Nerevar and just how metaphysical Molag Bal's dick was when Vivec bit it off.>>745062372Yeah, I like the Empire, but they're literally portrayed as the bad guys. There are hints of moral complexity, but it's never really explored.>>745062372The problem is that Reachmen are literally just generic enemies in Skyrim.

>>745058078There is no soft spot. The original PC devs, who only ever released the Stirk demo, wanted Oblivion references. The current devs removed almost all of them and only grudgingly kept a few. The entire Anvil Mages Guild was redone to remove a plot based around Hannibal Traven before he became archmage.

>>745051842Because in a first blind playthrough I thought Caius'>"You need a cover identity. Around here, 'freelance adventurer' is a common profession. Sign on with the Fighters Guild, or Mages Guild, or Imperial cult, or Imperial legion, advance in the ranks, gain skill and experience. Or go out on your own, look for freelance work, or trouble. Then, when you're ready, come back, and I'll have orders for you"Meant to fuck off and come back when I'm like level 10, not level... 3

>>745088837Oblivion bros, we lost...
>>745088661I believe the dev's intention was for the player to swing the knife around in the office in order to familiarize themselves with Morrowind's directional swings before instantly replacing it with the preferred weapon they built their character around. But no, you had dumbasses that actually tried to fight enemies with that dinky butterknife.
>>745088837doesn't count OpenMW. active players with that included probably put it close to og Skyrim
>>745088661>Can only process one line at a time so completely forgets what weapon skill he picked mere seconds before
>>745088952old Oblivion is getting more players than Morrowind tho>>745089040totally, bro
>>745023852Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.
use these mods
>>745089082thank you for agreeing with me, anon! Very reasonable.
>>745089115>there's actually 4x the playersnahhhI'd believe the real number is about double mayyyybe 2.5x the Steam only one tho
>>745089283but that's what I said...
>>745089030>>745089063It's a mix between the tutorial having you equipping the dagger and more crucially, >>745057902. Players are reluctant by default to spend any coin, the meme of "finishing the game with 99 Potions of Extreme Healing in case I needed some later" exists for a reason. Morrowind gives you money upfront on purpose so you can buy build-proper gear at Arrille's Tradehouse, but most people will rather they get their basic bitch starting weapon and armor from the first dungeon they visit, because not only was that the case in Oblivion and Skyrim... but being honest it was also the case in Arena and Daggerfall, where you could easily start the game semi-decently equipped just by exploring a bit the Imperial Dungeons and Privateer's Hold.
>>745076653I disagree. You've still got Aylied ruins being pretty much 1-to-1 visually with Oblivion, Anvil having the same architecture and vibe as oblivion, a master thief whose blatantly not-Gray Fox, etc. Plus it goes beyond just Cyrodiil. Mainland Morrowind has such references.
>>745089030Players that started with the next TES installments are at a disadvantage because they think they are familiar with how TES games work when in reality they have been lobotomized. Morrowind is actually pretty casual about the tabletop mechanics a Skyrim baby isn't even familiar with the concept of weapon proficiency.
>>745059021He's not wrong, we get weekly civil war and In My Time Of Need threads.
>>745089592half of those are an excuse to post lewd art of beast races
>>745076653Anon they added "we have the Grey Fox at home".
>>745089114Alternative animations sucks (I know it's still being developed). I don't know how MW still has ugly ass animations when OpenMW lifts the restrictions. I do hope it gets polished at some point because something like that is desperately needed.ReAnimation is ok in my book as well as Hit Reactions Animated.The dynamic shit that makes it feel like Oblivion I don't give a shit about.
>>745089517>You've still got Aylied ruins being pretty much 1-to-1 visually with OblivionThey like Oblivion's Ayleid lore in spite of the fact it's from Oblivion. For them, it might as well be Kirkbride lore first. And it kinda is, since MK's Ayleid stuff is all written to take place in junglr.Cyrodiil and thus fits PGE1 era Cyrodiil perfectly.>Anvil having the same architecture and vibe as oblivionAbsolutely fucking not. From a distance and at first glance sure when you look at the screenshots at the mod site sure, but once you're there at the ground level they're really not even close to being the same.
>>745057561https://youtu.be/SfVbCDmB1mA
>>745089668And the other half are an excuse to post /pol/ memes under a thin TES-themed veneer, very embarrassingly i might add since the people making them are always secondaries
>>745089934>yeah we copied the stuff from the later games but we're still Kirkbride purists because... because we are okay?!
Poison Song WHEN
>>745089668Those are the godawful "why aren't you playing Skyrim?" OP threads with the Marie Rose pics. There's a very clear delineation between bait goon threads and actual lore threads.
>>745090228I mean, they're not, nor do they claim to be. They outright reject Kirkbride's kookier stuff as not really befitting of their approach to lore either and often joke around about his stuff being way too much on the regular like the rest of the fanbase doesIf anything, they claim to be "abstract spirit of TES 3 (and whatever we think it's cool while also fitting in with that)" purists
>>745090397The people posting lewd art of the beast races do so in Skyrim lore threads as well. Don't try to lie buddy, i visit those as well
>>745089089Argonian Nerevarine was funny for a time but then got ruined by people treating it as interesting and canon whilst also overdoing the joke.
>>745090490>he says, in response to a post that was in response to a post saying that Oblivion's Ayleid stuff "might as well be Kirkbride lore"
>>745009803I always thought it was a Kwama Forager that latched on.
>>745090490Which makes the most sense, becauseA) too often people forget Kuhlmann was the other side of Kirkbride's coin and he co-developed the PGE for Redguard and assisted with the original idea for TES3 before it was put in the backburner during the late 90s.B) Douglas Goodall was who wrote 70% of Morrowind's questlines including the Thieves Guild, Fighters Guild, Mages Guild and the three Great Houses so if people like anything from them specifically, changes are it was a Goodall addition.C) Howard was a known Kirkbride tard wrangler, in that he managed to get the best out of the man while still keeping the wackier shit away. Kirkbride without Todd goes full C0DA, Todd without Kirkbride turns Cyrodiil into LOTR lite.>>745090598I don't lie, there's just a clear difference between a thread where 350 of the 400 posts are barely disguised porn pics and webms, and a thread where people autistically debate over the Great War and the Markarth Incident while some retard in the background desperately posts some 25 mostly ignored pics in a likewise 400 posts thread.
>>745090680His point is that they use Oblivion's Ayleid stuff because in a vacuum it's cool and weird enough to fit in with TES 3 lore, partially because a lot of it was written by Kirkbride, not out of some tsundere love for the game of Oblivion as a whole
>>745090846deepest lore
>>745090846I can see why you'd think that
>>745090849>the Markarth IncidentIs there anything to debate? There's no upsides to what happened there.It just serves as another point to show that the Stormcloaks are just retarded racial supremacists who can't be trusted to actually manage a province and do diplomacy by somehow managing to come out as the violent thuggish monsters in a scuffle with Daedra worshipping hillbilly weirdos who live with hags and rip out their own hearts in evil rituals.When Reachmen of all people managed to do their thing as peacefully as possible while Ulfric and his goons came in and slaughtered everyone they could get their hands on in response, it really doesn't paint the blues in a good light.
I can't wait to join the Ordinators
>>745091693being allowed in the Ordinators and House Indoril is unironically more lore-breaking than anything in any of the later games
>>745091175wtf kwama are just power armor suits for the little worm guys
>>745091834All the Houses hire mercs, Indoril was never an exception.
>>745091834How so?
>>745091834I'm LARPing as a mainland dunmer so it's not lore breaking.
>>745091447FUCKING kill yourself
>>745091903>and this is to go even further beyond
>>745091950being a mercenary isn't being part of the House or the Ordinators
>>745091969Has someone made a mod where you can play as a native with the option to call any outlander NPCs n'wahs?
>>745091834Wouldn't House Indoril freak out the moment you get known as the Nervararine?
>>745091981The Reach for the Reachmen
>>745092228Yes it is, literally all 3 of the Great Houses joinable in Vanilla Morrowind have "Hireling" as their basic rank
>>745091447It's interesting due to how it affected Ulfric's psyche due to being told the Imperial City fell due to the info he gave up during interrogation, and how he basically projected his fears and failures on to the Empire when he ended up going to war with it.
>>745091903Yep! It's even explained how it works in Morrowind's concept art.
>>745091834>Ordinatorsbased on what I've seen from PS preview they need rep/skill requirements before being allowed to join>Indorilas the above anon said, you start out as a literal hirling with promotion into the house proper requiring sponsorship from a high-ranking lord
>>745092460>>745093053you wouldn't be promoted into the House or allowed into the Ordinatorsthey hate outlanders and they would especially hate (you) for being Nerevarine because they are Tribunal zealotsyou can make weak excuses all you want, but they don't workit's breaking the lore for gameplay fun
>>745093404You could say the same about the Temple, to which the Indoril are closely tied to the point it's hard to even distinguish them, yet they're joinable in Vanilla
>>745061232>>745061276We saw Beyond Skyrim's Anvil ages ago.https://youtu.be/0sEv3Wl5Bqw
>>745092663they're just regular bugs in ESO for some reason
>>745093404>>745093053iirc all Indoril councilors are almost universally hostile save for one who wants to reshape the house into something more "adaptable." Naturally, this councilor is the only one willing to sponsor an outlander like the player.
>>745095926I can't wait to stroll in after I've killed Almalexia and used her soul to enchant my shoes
>>745095926>the people whose members committed mass suicide when Imperial boots touched Morrowind dirt and led to the house being in its weaker state now>have a guy who wants to be "adaptable"Either you and him would be dead or there would be no house left the moment an outlander gets to join.
>>745096615it's reasonable to assume at least one person would look at what they've become and try to change it and canonically fail since Indoril becomes the cuck house supporting the nu-temple
>>745096853>look at what they've becomeThey are the ones who haven't changed from the xenophobic and cruel ways of the last good while. That's the point.They love their Tribunal and their ash storms and are full "Morrowind for the Dunmer!" types while all the other houses were willing to compromise and work with the Empire and be stronger because of it.
>>745096615TR's entire Indoril backdrop is that the House got so thoroughly buckbroken by the the Armistice and House Hlaalu that their lords are all either dead or mindbroken to the point they're busy sulking and doing self-destructive shit, it makes sense for a guy who wants reform to show up and for everybody who doesn't to be too much of an old catatonic retard to do anything about it.
>>745011183They're not really undead; they're powered directly by divinity.
>>745097095I mean in terms of influence. Indoril was the centre until their (based) mass suicide left them to be picked clean by the vultures that are the other houses (especially the eternal hlaalu).Some within the house would naturally try to make some changes to reclaim their old glory. Ideally they would fail, though who can truly say when the person that ends up working through it is the Nerevarine and Hortator.Anyways the most cruel house is Dres.
>>745097105I hope that there will be at least one high ranking Indoril ready to burn down the entire House once you start getting up the ranks.
>>745098856there should be fewer and fewer Indorils and Ordinators every rank you go up until it's just you and the one guy who will promote you and a bunch of dead guys who committed seppuku
>>745098246Expectations v Reality>"It's a funny sort of house, with all those glowing blue crystals all over it. Did I ever tell you about when I was a little girl? I always liked going to the house. That's where everyone keeps their toys. Are you listening to me? You'd better be. Yes, that's better. No need to do that. I'd offer you something, but I'm all out of kwama eggs."

>>745104949>Goblins, known as the Children of Muluk[2] or derogatorily called Gobs,[3] are primitive humanoids that have been found in virtually every part of Tamriel and even on islands off the coast of Akavir.[4] Goblins can often be found living in caves, ruins, and sewers in small clan-based societies. Goblins are fiercely territorial, and typically violent towards those not of their tribes or the more societally developed races in general. Many regard them as simply monsters or nuisances. Despite this Goblins are still an intelligent race, and are capable of living in peace with others and showing empathy.[5] They are the namesake of the Goblin-ken family, and as such are considered kin to Ogres, Gremlins, and sometimes even Orcs.https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Goblin

>>745113431Yeah anything Kirkbride wrote after he got fired is just schizobabble that I can't take seriously.
>>745113476He never got fired tho, he ceased to be a Bethesda employee after quitting amicably in the late 90s and then just never got a call from them again after his contract work for them in the 2000s and early 2010s was finished
>>745113431The ESO bit about Queen Ayrenn's from a later addition during c0da's runOriginal text for KINMUNE state's that she's just a mining Rig from Kynareth that got sent back in time, travelled with Ysgramor, and got locked up in Saarthal.>>745113476Then that's everything past the last chapter of ESO. Dude gets regularly commissioned for TES lore shit.

>>745113591>and then just never got a call from them again after his contract work for them in the 2000s and early 2010s was finishedAnd of course this is because y'know, development on TES VI didn't start until Bethesda was already a Microsoft-owned bureaucratic machine whose old guard that was buddies with Kirkbride either got fired or quitZenimax on the other hand did call him to write like one thing for ESO once like 10 years ago

>>745111548Vanilla is fine. You could get something like Patch for Purists to correct details you will barely notice like typos or incorrectly placed rocks here and there but whatever.As far as things to know, it has the leveling system of Oblivion without the need to minmax because there is barely any enemy scaling. The early levels are the roughest and it will only get easier.Carry light and invest in speed and athletics if you find the character's movement pace intolerable.

It's the same reason ogres aren't in the same spot as orcs, even though lore-wise they're in exactly the same spot as orcs. Orcs fit their cookie cutter humanoid rig, goblins and ogres don't.

>>745132738Astoudingly retarded postOrcs are playable because Daggerfall, a sprite-based game, did the "Orcs are secretly civilized people who want recognition" plot, which in turn probably happened because every other fantasy setting had their Orcs be somewhat of a big deal instead of just random generic enemies as they were in Arena. They didn't come up with Gortwog and his ending thinking >in several years from now we'll be releasing a 3D game how about we make Orcs good giys because then they'll be easier to model
>>745136074Only Nibenese sissies care about hat merchants.
>>745138647a merchant has to look presentable, no different from a politican
>>745138259>"you are ASTONISHINGLY RETARDED">doesn't even know the basic lore of what we're all talking aboutYou are so stupid that you can't even follow the most obvious reasoning that the devs have. Stop pretending to have played Daggerfall, Skyrim baby. The orcs are just one of the several "beastfolk" races and they cohabitated as outsiders and brothers under Malacath. Both orcs and goblins are simply treated as "creatures" in Arena. In Daggerfall (where Goblins don't even appear, lying about playing a game lmao) they introduce the plotline of Orsinium but even in that game's systems they're still just creatures. Even Redguard, which only had Goblins and Ogres, didn't have them as proper NPCs.Every iteration of Orsinium in the lore had orcs, ogres, goblins and gremlins cohabitating together peacefully. This is confirmed through numerous lore materials. They are all of a similar sentience and culture in order to achieve this. They were all considered equally "vile" by the Empire.In the 3D FIRST PERSON ACTION RPG Morrowind, guess which of the beastfolk were promoted into becoming Empire citizens (and thus playable). It just so happens to be the race that is aesthetically the most humanoid out of the three. They aren't too tall like the ogres or too short like the goblins which would make them unable to fit into the gameplay system they designed. Goblins show up in Tribunal but only as simple enemies because they can't fit the animations to turn them into proper NPCs.To avoid the problem of trying to make the 3D FIRST PERSON ACTION RPG accommodate giant and tiny races, the games now just treat them as brainless monsters. Orcs survived it because their skeleton fit the gameplay systems they created. If the other beastfolk races were to be made Empire citizens, they would have to be playable (to fit the NPC interactions and not be internally considered a "creature"). It's the SAME REASON only the "humanoid" Argonians/Khajit are playable, you fucking idiot.
>>745141296there are no non-humanoid argonians retard
>>745141296>but even in that game's systems they're still just creaturesAnd yet, the game's plot and lore clearly potrays them as people actively seeking better treatment>Every iteration of Orsinium in the lore had orcs, ogres, goblins and gremlins cohabitating together peacefully. This is confirmed through numerous lore materials. They are all of a similar sentience and culture in order to achieve this.Irrelevant. And as you said yourself, there weren't even any Goblins in Daggerfall lmaoThe PGE was the first time the goblin-ken were said to have lived in Orsinium, and that referred specifically to the First and Second Era Orsiniums, not Gortwog's>guess which of the beastfolk were promoted into becoming Empire citizens (and thus playable).The one whose ascension to Imperial citizenship was already set up by a major plotline in the previous game>They aren't too tall like the ogres or too short like the goblins which would make them unable to fit into the gameplay system they designedYeah, because as we all know, Bosmer and Altmer are unplayable in Morrowind due to their extreme heights, as are the beast races due to the need of giving them unique skeletons and animations>Orcs survived it because their skeleton fit the gameplay systems they createdOr maybe, it's because that was already set up in the previous game> If the other beastfolk races were to be made Empire citizens, they would have to be playable (to fit the NPC interactions and not be internally considered a "creature").The fuck makes you think that a race having Imperial citizenship in lore means that Bethesda is bound by oath to make them playable? Do you think that 14/17 of the Khajiit subtypes and all but one of the Argonian races are not Imperial citizens or something?>It's the SAME REASON only the "humanoid" Argonians/Khajit are playableNo, it's primarily because Bethesda wasn't gonna waste precious dev time in modeling 15 different cat people races and 6 different lizard people races
>>745141296Just to preempt the "but you can talk to some creatures in Morrowind" false argument. NPCs in Morrowind are just static entities in the static world of Morrowind. It is simply placing some event on them to open up a dialogue box. Still though, the only humanoids (confirmed with the calm humanoid spell) are the ones that fit the underlying engine rigging.Oblivion onwards they have fully fledged schedules with animations like sitting down to eat, dialogue poses, sleeping, ect. That is absolutely incompatible with a race twice the size (or half the size) that doesn't remotely fit the rig they use for everything. Literally the reason you can talk to Dremora in Oblivion is because the copied over the rig. It doesn't take a coding genius to understand this, but apparently it does for this idiot.>nah just give a giant the same drinking from a cup animation as everyone else it'll work>>745141683That's your big brained clapback. You just lied about playing Daggerfall. Go get ready for school.>>745142228Again, you ignore the most obvious thing. The goblins and ogres would need to fit the armor, weapons, combat rigging, casual animation, npc scheduling, architecture ect ect and ect. You ignore this because you are addicted to contrarianism. This is the most obvious shit in the world, especially considering their game engine is some famously patched together, jury-rigged nonsense to work with and you think that's not the reason they don't have more sentient "beastlike" races to interact with.Orcs, ogres, goblins at one point all had similar intelligence/language/culture. This got wrote out or ignored after they made orcs playable because those races would be hard to implement as NPCs within the Empire and they never want to address that problem in their jury-rigged engine.
>>745123810Built for Imperial men
>>745142704Lmao you're the one addicted to contrarianism if you genuinely believe that the possibility of having to make Goblins and Ogres playable ever popped up in even a single Bethesda's employee's thoughts, let alone in enough of them to the point of affecting creative decisionsLikewise, you're the one ignoring the most obvious thing. Goblins and Ogres are not playable because they did not have their own dedicated storyline and ending in Daggerfall. They were "reduced" to enemy monsters because that's their traditional role in fantasy and there's no reason not to have them take those roles due to the previous thing, simple as
>>745012187>>745012875i always wondered what his lore is and why his name is snowy. its implying that snow is some inherent quality to his character
Is Patch for Purists worth it or does it succumb to feature creep that the Unofficial Skyrim Patch is notoriously bad for?
>>745143834He's a member of a smuggler's gang whose martial and magical prowess evidently earned him the role of guarding their hideout. He's probably called snowy because he's old and has white hair or something.
>>745144018It's not as bad as the unofficial patch but calling it "for purists" is false advertising.
>>745122024>mind. blown.
>>745122024i look like this
>>745009135played it with tamriel rebuilt on openmw a year ago.gotta get back in again but i've done so much stuff and am insanely overpowered now so there's no more challenge
>>745037185when i played TR for the first time a year ago i did a few hours of dicking around on morrowind and then immediately got myself a ride to anvil, where i stayed for the next 20+ hours.shit was great and i wish there'd be more of cyrodiil in TR to explore
>>745043918Not just me then. I never understood the complaints about it. Or OoT's water temple
>>745043918First time I played the game was on a shitty tv I got with my own money as a teen and I played on a xbox. Shit was hard to see
>>745024124(old) Warcraft laid claim to that with their trolls.
>>745057561played their cyrodiil demo "bruma" when it was dropped.short but pretty fine, well made quests which you'll complete in about 5-10 hours depending on how much you roam around.music had me hyped when i crossed the border and walked towards brumahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geVnEEta5zothe thing is there's nothing more so far, they're doing a few WIP stream every six months or so to show off their newly created maps, but as far as full scale releases or even another demo goes it's taking forever.and as anons implied they're probably fucking themselves over all the time by trying to accustom their lore to ESO, having to rewrite tons of their main and side-quests

>>745130565>skull caves in from "enlightenment">mutant corprus tentacle growth replaces mush brainit's a way of showing the development of dagoth ur's control over his minions, literally his tendrils spilling out from their skulls.morrowind was pretty kino in this manner.ash zombies are a kind of controlled form of corprus, where the cancerous unstable growth effects instead are developed along a desired paradigm by dagoth ur's will/dreaming.
>>745144018It got made specifically because of the unofficial patch overstepping but I haven't kept up with its updates lately to give a definitive answer.
>>745111735I can't let go of my headcanon that Helseth is way more likely to try to assassinate a basic bitch imperial spy than the Nerevarine.
Nordic guys with dunmer wives.
>>745144018It fixes a fair amount of bugs but it does patch some stuff that, while technically bugs, were still fun little bits that players like to take advantage of. A good example being the daedric crescent doubling exploit.
>>745148962no

I don't respect graphic overhaul mods I want it foggy and low poly I can however tolerate higher viewing distance, but only to see more of the low poly foggy mystical landscape
>>745152623For me it's Gorne
>>745152781It's weird to remember how load bearing the directions used to be when you have a view distance of fifteen feet. Now close enough is fine because I can actually see the doors between view distance and resolution. I can climb hills to get a better look instead of it just being me standing in the fog on a hill.
>>745144169he likes snow during ashtorms
>>745152623glub glub
>>745144018You dont need a patch, the game works perfectly just playing it vanilla.
>>745008656So when did the devs of Elder Scroll games stop doing drugs? Morrowind is clearly influenced by some substance use, were as Oblivion and Skyrim are way more tame.
>>745155592It's literally just Dune, people oversell the weirdness. Both Kirkbride and Kuhlmann were already around and lead devs for Redguard, and that game's much less weird simply because its inspiration was Flash Gordon-tier action adventure serials and not weird shit like giant walking bugs and great house politics.
>>745155592Michael Kirkbride loved Morrowind and obsessed over it. He essentially wrote all the lore and concept art. The later games he was less involved in and not even credited on Skyrim.

Explain why couldn't pic related exist as an Alteration spell that incapacitates the target immediately.
>>745158027Make sure you grab the half-dreugh guy's body for his claw weapon
>>745158079that would be a Destruction spell, probably a sustained Drain or Damage Fatiguet. had it at 14
>>745155592bethesda just risked it and jumped the shark with letting kirkbride live out some of his weirdness. it's honestly lightning in a bottle when it comes to a unique setting in such a major title, and unfortunately this approach couldn't catch on with the mainstream when the lotr series set a new standard for high fantasy vidya.everybody wanted to see this faux-medieval setting akin to the rohirrim and gondor on screen with towering european styled castle walls and horse riding anglo saxons.any deviation from this archetype was seen as too financially risky and thus oblivion's world design came to be a high fantasy europe instead of the weird mix of jungle, wetlands with east asian and roman architecture which it was established as in TES lore in previous titles
>>745156546it's the schizos that are staying. This board reads like a fever dream some days
>>745147837Warcraft trolls also laid claim to the concept of being jungle tribes who used to have a mayincatec civilization, didn't stop Greg Keyes and ESO from going that direction
>>745155895slow /v/ is kino, I like it this way.>>745159353there's sadly unironic AI bots just shitting up the place as well as fully automated threads that show up sometimes.
What school of magic is transforming to another creatureWhat school of magic is long range astral projection (no touching)What school of magic is low range projection (with actual touch, can fight without risk)What school of magic is anti magic field? Anti specific spell field?What school of magic is force push and force pull?

>>745161753thats a good tip, thank you.
>>745162357Also, try to choose low mercantile enchanters since they offer the best prices. I think the Argonian in the Foreign Canton is one of the best for it

>>745161907My only problem is why is their model so thin in gameMany bretons are supposed to be knights, but it never feels right with how scrawny they are.
>>745166764they're mutts
>>745166764Don't all NPCs share the one male and female model? Which is why every grandpa in Vvanderfell is fucking jacked like Caius.
>install Remove N'wah mod>roleplay as a native Redoran dunmer that hates outlanders
>>745167702There's actually two unique body models for Men and Mer respectivelyOne of the reason Morrowind is so SOVLful
>>745167960>the Bosmer
So do you anons focus more on style or functionality when it comes to your character's look? For me, I'm fashion maxing.
>>745167960is there a mod that gives argonians a different skeleton than kh*JEETs

Why doesn't Fargoth simply kill Hrisskar by taunting him
