Fargoth, the biggest faggot of the village
>>748931075>his name is a few words from faggotwhat did Bethesda mean by this?
>>748931075
Was Morrowind's plot inspired by Dune? This is something I've thought a lot about.>Outlander arrives>Native tribes are the only ones who truly understand this land, and are the only ones who are able to survive in it (Ashlanders)>Native tribes have a cult religion dedicated to the arrival of a messianic figure>The elite/ruling class believes they can use a fake messiah and false prophecy to manipulate the masses>Turns out the prophecy was actually true and this guy is actually the messiah the whole time>Drives the outlanders out of Morrowind/Arrakis
>>748932513This anon loves Bosmer twinks
>>748931075Morrowind has the most fuckable characters. With that much personality I really don't care about facial beauty.
>>748932432>have you seen the wood elves? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAt. shirtless Nord programmer
>>748932765Fargoth doesn't look like that.
>>748932658Yes, its heavily inspired by Dune, particularly the whole foreigner messiah aspect.I suspect Vivec was probably somewhat inspired from Leto II
>setting has magical teleportation, horse-drawn carriages, domesticated insects and airships>Indoril retainers opt for slave-driven palanquins instead
>>748932513nice Jet Li reference
>>748931075Male Bosmer are the biggest fags in the whole series
>>748933581Speaking of airships.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22a_5JHC7iE
>>748932658A big part of the plot is that Paul is a total outsider, and despite being an outsider thinks like a fremen while Nerevarine isn't a true outlander as he's a reincarnationHe also wasn't preceded by an outlander prophet (Kynes) that upended the typical social organisation (Fremen were heavily patriarchal; Kynes was an outside male who assumed leadership) and set the stage for the actual messiahThe Nerevarine prophecy is also very much real while the prophecy is Dune is explicitly false, created and spread by the Bene Gesserit intentionallyThe Nerevarine prophecy doesn't really fit into the John the Baptist-Jesus narrative mold the false prophecy that the prophecy in Dune was made to fit either
>>748933635genuine race of cuckolds. >female bosmer have multiple lore sources claiming they're extremely libidinous, far more so than any other race, further supported by their fertility rates with the average family size being 12 children>matriarchal race with male bosmer being shorter and weaker than females, literally the shortest and weakest of all humans and mer>mating habits state female bosmer are hyper dominant sexually, with male bosmer rarely initiating courtship >female bosmer seek out the strongest mates imagine knowing you are biologically predetermined to watch youre extremely sexy and EXTREMELY horny women try to fuck everything that isnt (you) because the men of your race are fundamentally recognized as weak and ugly? Bleak.
>>748934195thanks anon, I'll be playing a male bosmer for locktober
>>748934195It wouldn't make sense for a female bosmer to fuck a non-bosmer as they are the dominant genderbecause of evolutionary selfishness gender dominance overrides any other breeding strategy in nature, hyenas and spiders are the prime example of this and eusocial insects are a hyper-example because of how fucked the inheritance is for insects (due to haplodiploidy sisters share 3/4 genes, children only share 50% so it's evolutionary more preferable to have sisters which leads to eusociality)what would happen for bosmer is that there would be a slightly variable homeostatis in male bosmer with an upper limit; the too strong ones would not be mated with as they contest the female dominance, the too weak ones would not be mated with due to reduced offspring quality and so the middle quality bosmer would be in extreme demand
>>748934024>Morrowind is now Starfield
>>748934128Makes sense. I haven't read the Dune book I've only seen the Villeneuve movies, and it seemed like in the movies the prophecy is depicted as being true (or at least was originally false but became self-fulfilling as a result of Lady Jessica's actions) which to me parallels how the Nerevarine is sent to Vvardenfell to work as a fake Nerevarine spy under Caius Cosades and then ends up becoming self-fulfilling.
>>748934024Nice. Now all we're missing is a sunbird model
>>748934195>>female bosmer have multiple lore sources claiming they're extremely libidinous, far more so than any other race,False. The Dunmer are the ones whose women get accused of being whores in Daggerfall, not the Bosmer. They're the probably the ones you're thinking of>>matriarchal race with male bosmer being shorter and weaker than females, Also wrong. They aren't ever said to be matriarchal nor the females stronger, only more beautiful. They're the only race whose stats in Morrowind are the exact same across genders even, and the Orcs are the race said to be gender egalitarian in Morrowind (before Skyrim's took a fat shit on that with its alpha male incest harem lore of course)>>mating habits state female bosmer are hyper dominant sexually, with male bosmer rarely initiating courtship >>female bosmer seek out the strongest mates Both pure headcanonAnd of course, if ESO contradicts any of what i said, let it be known that no one cares
>Make region in and all about Skyrim >literally name your mod Home of the Nords>make literally 70% of faction quests for the thieves guild which has 0 appeal to most Nord characterswhats their fucking deal?
>>748934024Looks like one of those Gmod aircraft battle videos
>>748931075Stop punching down, Fargoth didn't do anything wrong.
>>748934921is this a shitpost or are you actually just too fucking retarded to use google or frisk lore wikis?You are objectively wrong on literally all accounts aside from dunmer *also* (not exclusively) being stated to be whores.
>>748934592In the books the prophecy is absolutely false, it and others like it are described as a Bene Gesserit tactic to create a primed/welcoming environment for Bene Gesserit agents and it only comes true due to unintended consequences on everyone's partI really do suggest reading the book, it's a lot more plot heavy and the fucking dinner scene getting cut was a travesty
>>748934921>They aren't ever said to be matriarchal nor the females stronger, only more beautiful.In fact, half of Bosmer lore revolves around the fact they have the oldest extant dynasty of *kings* in Tamriel, so it's explicitly not the case.
>>748934924>11 mages guild quests>15 thieves guild quests>4 fighters guild questsholy shit its real. glad I didnt install this garbage.
>>748935136Well then, post those lore sources if they're so obvious, cause i read the whole fucking Dance in Fire book series and i don't remember any of thatIf they're from ESO I'm gonna laugh pretty hard
>>748934616Maybe someday.
>>748934924Never done an honest day's work in your life for all that coin you're carrying, eh lad?
>>748935136No, he is correct in that the Bosmer are the only Morrowind race whose stat distribution lacks any difference between genders. And the fact that the Bosmer are never stated to be matriarchal, in fact they're explicitly described as being ruled by male kings of the Camoran Dynasty since the First Era, which is one of their main things in lore. Or that their females are stronger than the males, as Kirkbride's famous concept artwork only ever states that the males are ugly and the females are not, nothing about physical strength. He's also right about the Orc thing. The only sort of thing *your* post got right on the other hand is the idea that they have more children on average than other Mer, everything else is wrong and only vaguely based on actual lore. Your very specific claims on Bosmer sexuality in particular smell like they're either made up entirely or some ESO garbage.
>>748932658Big time, look at the Polygon Oral History
>>748934616God Misha Pabor's art was so good. Hope he's doing alright.

>leader of the thieves guild>he's blackwhat did they mean by this
>>748935136The closest thing to a canon "Bosmer are matriarchal and the girlies are stronger" claim i can think of is that one time ESO missed the point of the Silvenar really hard and gave him a female equivalent who was like a badass constantly reincarnating warrior queen or something along those lines in what was clearly an inverted rip-off of Warhammer's Ariel and Orion with Warcraft's Night Elves sprinkled in. With that in mind i wouldn't be surprised if they extended that treatment to Bosmer society as a whole, which i guess is where your claim comes fromThe thing is, no one cares, since >1. It's ESO>2. It's a particularly egregious example of the way ESO handles lore since like i said they missed the point pretty hard. The Silvenar is supposed to be a shapeshifting amalgamation of the Bosmer race, who's canonically already a woman sometimes. And>3. It's another example of ESO's devs actively WANTING TES be derivative from other fantasy settings for some unfathomable reason, niggas just straight up stole from WHF and Warcraft
>>748936367>Jim StaceyWhy does he have an American name? Worldbuilding, hello?
>>748936802Before Skyrim made it so Redguards all have names like "Mahmood Allahu Akbar Al-Satakal", Redguards actually had a pretty diverse naming scheme, ranging from Japanese names to seemingly normal anglo names, to fantasy names to even explicitly african-american-inspired names. Kotaro, Wallace, Baurus, Trayvond are all examples of Redguard NPCs in the older games.
i edited some files and now my game looks weird
>>748936939No fucking idea what's going on with the hud, but it looks like you've reversed the z-buffer somehow
>>748936939I'd be careful, anon. you can summon a dremora into the real world doing that

>>748932513>Anon has finally gone too far-goth
Taking this stupid Bosmer conversation to talk about how great PT's art direction for them is.Why the fuck do they have so much art btw? I think out of the inactive provinces Valenwood is the one with the most by far, which is kinda weird since there isn't much interest on it as a potential mod.

>>748940117My god. How many more endangered species will those dastardly Cyrods wipe out?
>>748940228It was for the best. The industry truly was revolting.
>>748933581>Indoril retainers opt for slave-driven palanquins insteadthey just hate argonians that much, they would rather inconvenience themselves just to make argonians suffer than simply teleport where they need to go.
>>748932432I've seen redditoids arguing that N'wah is derived from "N word" and is actually racist kek. Elder Scrolls needs to bring back constant racial slurs, brothels, slave markets, and barbed khajit dick
>>748940307based
>>748940307Most Indoril palanquin slaves don't seem to be argonian though, like half of them aren't even beast race
>>748932513>2004>buy Morrowind for Xbox>make wood elf>first dude I run into outside customs looks just like my dude>kill him and take his houseNever forget my first experience with the elder scrolls was stealing anything not nailed down. Shit was revolutionary for 17 year old me.
>>748935148A prophecy isn't false if it's fulfilled. It would be more accurate to say the prophecy in Dune is explicitly a cynical construct and not a mystic vision of the future. As far as Morrowind is concerned, Vivec is maybe the only one to actually SEE the nerevarine's coming, and even that might just be him intuiting that it's bound to happen eventually. Azura sure as shit doesn't actually see the future or she wouldn't have backed so many failed incarnates.
was magic actually real before the industrial revolution?
>>748940927Was the industrial revolution real before magic?
>>748931075Black Marsh gang
>>748940927Yes. It's still real now. There's real magic in the 36 Lessons.
>>748933475So this game with shitty gameplay doesn't even have an original story to save it ?
>>748942458Why did you put a space between your sentence and the question mark at the end?

>>748942502It's what pajeets do in their actual language.
>>748939356how
>>748940534Todd is a predditor too so don't put your expectations too high
>>748942502Because he's a stinking thirdie
>>748934195Literally all of those things are made up with no lore source. What a bizarre cuck fetish post.
>>748934195male bosmer got cucked by lore more than anythingkirkbride's idea about the males being hideous half-beasts while the women are all beautiful druids was way more interesting than manlets and whoresat least the green pact survived the oblivion lore cataclysm
>>748942502it's a french thing and more rarely a slavic one (not russian)
>>748949212That looks so giga fucking retarded that it's hard for me to believe it wasn't made just as a joke to make Todd mad
>>748949425kirkbride had tons of weird ideas, which i mean in a good wayso much interesting stuff from morrowind came from his concept art and when you look through it, you see other things which were altered but still made it in, or others which are clearly just better than what we got
>>748949636obviously we weren't going to get super detailed locations like this, i think vivec as it is even chugged on PCs when it first came out, but it's still cool to imagineTR does a good job with it though, there's a mainland location this is kind of reminding me of
>>748949636The freak has a ugly bastard cυck fetish or something. Are you telling me it is normal to make beautiful elven women fornícate with a fucking humanoid boar?
>>748949735>kirkbride is a sexual deviantyeah no shit, go read c0da; normal people don't make for good artistsit's still a thing about different standards of beauty between different races thoughone thing skyrim didn't fuck up was the fact that mer aren't particularly attractive to humans, they have weird, alien faces and unnatural skin tones
>>748949889It might be more original but I doubt people would like ES as much if it was a freakshow rather than the more classic fantasy setting it has.Like, races like those may be good for lore and books. But for a videogame where a lot of people probably self insert themselves in their own creations, it might be a huge waste of time to add many ugly races nobody wants to play. I mean. Even without having too many ugly races people tend to stick with the most generic human possible
>>748932432Someone has faggots on the mind. Seems kind of gay.
>>748932432>>748950242I actually asked a dev that once in a AMA, and he told me didn't remember. I guess we could say he FARGOTH about it!
>>748949212The basic fact they can have monstrous features still survived to this day due to ESO giving them the option to have horns again, though as that game often does they fucked it up by having the females be able to do it too
