These sophisticated barbarian beast peoples of the Wrothgarian and Dragontail Mountains are noted for their unshakeable courage in war and their unflinching endurance of hardships. Orc warriors in heavy armor are among the finest front-line troops in the Empire. Most Imperial citizens regard Orc society as rough and cruel, but there is much to admire in their fierce tribal loyalties and generous equality of rank and respect among the sexes.
>>748967810I just like playing as big green guys that smash puny humans
>>748968125Orcs have a lower strength stat than Nords and Redguards THOUGH
>>748968125>capeshit
>Redguards have the lowest INT of all human racesWhat did Todd mean by this?
>>748971180Nords share that feat, don't forget about them
>>748971180Nords literally have the exact same int as Redguards tho
Ork WAAAGGHHHHH!Why are Orcs not a psychic race in TES?
>>748967810I always make a weaboo Orc with medium armor and a Dai-katana though.
>>748971608Because reality is already a dream.
>>748971180>Redguards are certainly the most aggressive combat race you'll find in Morrowind. With 50 strength for malesOh man.
>>748971527>>748971398Nords aren't human
>>748971663OK, why aren't they natural mages then?
>>748968245a man can dream cant he?
>>748971846They are. In TES magic is extremely accessible, literally anyone can go down to the Mage's Guild and buy training in a spell, or a local witch, or go to the store and buy a magic scroll. It's relatively expensive and Orcs aren't known to be particularly talented at it, but it's something they can do.
>>748971819Redguards are technically aliens
>>748971819Define human in TES.
>>748971940Why do they mine ebony through carts when mark/recall exists?
>>748972156It's illegal to teleport restricted goods.
>>748972156Because training a bunch of retarded dirt-farmers in Mark/Recall isn't worth the time and expense, they'd probably use it to steal the goods, and carts of ebony probably don't count ass being on your person to go with you using magic.
>>748972156Mages don't want to waste their talents on mining shit and the state isn't willing to commission enchanters for mark/recall amulets
>>748971846TES Orcs' main gimmick is that they're great metallurgists and craftsmen. They're effectively the setting's actual dwarf equivalent since the Dwemer play a very different role from the usual beard manlet
>>748971960That's a misconception. All the Redguard creation myth does is describe the same things every other version of the monomyth does, that is, Lorkhan creating Nirn, plus the fact that the kalpa cycle exists and that there's an afterlife that supposedly allows spirits to survive the end of the world, which is also exactly what the Nords believe in, for one. Yokuda isn't a previous kalpa, but a physical continent whose ruins can still be visited, and the Redguards are just wandering ehlnofey who eventually decided Lorkhan is badAlso, even if the fanon interpretation of the Redguard creation myth was real they still wouldn't really be aliens since previous kalpas are just different versions of the same world
>>748973535Previous Kalpas can be very alien though, look at Lyg. Time rewinds to Convention, but the actual events of the Dawn and Merethic Era that set the stage for the familiar setting can happen completely differently, and this includes the behavior of the Aedra. Since you mentioned Nords, Shor Son of Shor makes it obvious that the Nords know that even their beloved gods can change role or allegiance between Kalpas. Magnus is particularly interesting in that context, they don't worship him because his role in the Dawn war (according to them) was so secret/stealthy that determining his actual allegiance in it is impossible.
TAM RUGH
>>748971967Descendants of the ehlnofey who sided with Lorkhan
>>748972390And yet Orcish armor is always mid tier in every game
>>748975323Yes, which Nords did. Giants are also human.
>>748975868Hard to beat the blood of god or living, tortured spirits.
why did sneedrim omit the orcs' shaggy centipede herdbeast mentioned in the pocket guide
What's a good starting wizard build? I've never finished Morrowind but I kind of want to try it again
>>748976356Nesmith probably thought fantasy livestock would make customers (who he thinks are universally 70 IQ) confused and angry.
yeah i'm thinking orc wizard is my next run
>>748976356They didn't even have time to put the fucking capital of the province in the game the fuck makes you think they'd spend what little time and money they had on giving Orcs giant centipede pets
>>748976458Half of the Third Empire's founding myth is how Tiber was a cool badass Nord, the Second Empire's Reman's father was supposedly a Nord, and the First Empire's Alessia bent her entire culture and religion around trying to appease and ally with the Nord's empire (who controlled nearly half of what would become Cyrodiil at that time.)
>>748976635>They didn't even have time to put the fucking capital of the province in the gameSolitude?
>>748976649cope
>>748976667Winterhold
>>748971180they dont. they share the same int as nords and orcs. all retarded trad larping cattle. feels good to IQ mog
>>748976779The Empire would be nothing without the Nords, this has been proven time and time again.
>>748976820Ah. What they did to Winterhold was a fucking travesty.
>>748976356why do they insist so much on removing all character and spice from their own fantasy universe and just make it a generic game of thrones world?
>>7489763921. Spells sold by merchants are cheaper to cast as a rule. Spellmaking should happen with useless sold spells like "Frenzy for 20 seconds" which you can obviously make better. 2. Apprentice Birthsign unless you are doing fancy shit with Atronach.3. Altmer or Breton but don't let that stop you from choosing your favorite race (some have late game advantages).5. Speed is your best defense unless you are doing battlemage stuff.5. Destruction: Fire/Frost covers mostly anything and has cheap bought spells even for ranged damage6. Mysticism has absorb health which can be neat along with teleport effects7. Alteration has Levitate, Open, Waterwalking/breathing. You can make a 1pt Levitate spell to actually slow foes.8. Restoration is nice but not super needed. Depends on your playstyle.9. Illusion has great effects like Frenzy, Sanctuary and Invisibility. May or may not be used much.10. Enchanting is better than all schools of magic. You might want to limit it if you don't want your build feeling pointless.11. Alchemy and potions of Restore Magicka are not a must, especially without Atronach.12. Forbidden knowledge: Restore Magicka custom spell.Combine Fortify Intelligence + Magicka in a smart way
>>748977376Part of is the general audience chasing mentality, but a lot of it is just priorities. As mentioned above, Bethesda has time constraints, budget, and tech limitations to take into account, so they quite simply don't do the things they don't have the time for or aren't 100% necessary. That's why Oblivion did not have anything related to politics nor the Colovia-Nibenay divide, because their focus was on the Daedra shitOn a side note, ESO kinda had these things, which are presumably meant to be the shaggy centipede herdbeasts, but they felt the need to make them look like tiger-wolf-boar creatures, i would assume because Orcs are commonly portrayed in association with tigers/wolves/boars in other fantasy media and that game kinda does feel like it's actively trying to rip off every other setting in existence half the time lol
>>748975868Every other [Race] armor is even worse
>>748979198Dwemer is better. Also isn't glass made by high elves?
>>748977060You mean bretons. Tiber Septim was not a nord
>>748979443Tiber Septim was two dudes in a trenchcoat and neither of them were NordTalos on the other hand...
>>748979443Tiber Septim wouldn't have had his early successes without Wulfharth empowering him. Also the point is how necessary it was for the Third Empire's genesis for them to get the Nords behind them, not just the power from Wulfharth but all the propaganda about being Ysmir.
>>748979567Three dudes and one was a Nord, though he fucked off midway through (because Tiber didn't want to genocide the Dunmer.)
>>748975868Except in Daggerfall and Battlespire where it's the literal highest tier armor, only behind Daedric.
>>748976356why did sloplivion feature goblins but omit durzogs
>>748979339No, in Morrowind it's said that the High Elves originally invented glass armor but the glass armor you actually see in-game is made by Dunmer
>>748968245Because Nords are slightly taller so they get an extra 5 points.
Can Orcs look pretty in Elder Scrolls? I'm not talking with mods, I'm talking lore wise.
>>748981259probably not. they're never described as beautiful.nthough there is the gray prince quest in oblivion where an imperial noble falls in love with his orc maid.
>>748981259Maybe. Though probably not often, them being ugly to the point everybody hates them is unironically a pretty major part of their lore, and it's even reflected in Morrowind where they (particularly the females) have a lower personality stat than everybody else
>>748977521>Apprentice Birthsign unless you are doing fancy shit with Atronach>don't let that stop you from choosing your favorite raceKing advice. I would have said the same thing. Apprentice and Atronach make spellcasting instantly viable on any character. Apprentice is an especially noob-friendly birthsign. People don't need to compromise on playing the race they want to play.
>>748976392Even if you're playing a wizard, you still need to pick weapon and armor skills. This is not negotiable, offensive spells absolutely cannot carry you through the entire game. Magic is primarily for utility and QoL, and that's why Alteration is the best magic school in the game.
>>748983320You don't need armor if you use marksman. Dread or dire arrows with bound longbow is super powerful and has very good maneuverability unlike spells. If you use sneak too you one shot everything. Sneak plus bows was always overpowered in all elder scrolls games
>>748983320It's just a bit harder that's all
>If you can't afford decent clothing, I'm not sure we should be talking
>>748980446they used that specific part of the budget to get patrick stewart on board
>>748984862What a wasted game was oblivion. All went downhill from it for bethesda
>>748967810where the hell are these fuckers from? Some place called Orsimmar? Its not on the map, but everyone else's homeland is
>>748971623So when you meet Umbra do you do the spiderman meme
>>748985813Originally? From summerset isles.
>>748985931So they got their asses whipped and thrown out of their homeland?
>>748986097Yea
>>748985665oblivion was good in its own way, like a fairy tale meme fever dream. the shivering isles expansion was also pretty good. yes the dumbing down was set in, that is true. but skyrim was when todd decided to fully dumb down the series in a drastic way.
EVERY DAY IS SAINT PLENTY'S DAY IN THE LEGION!
>>748986118Imagining them being the most enthusiastic 'front-line troops' of the Empire when they conquered the Summerset Isles then
>>748986219The empire didn't hire them yet
>>748972156Why work as an ebony courier when you can just use magic as a means to make a living? It's like this.>Know no magic, guess I'm working doing something else... Maybe shipping ebony, ebony is expensive. I'll sign up for an apprenticeship with a mage and fund it with my day job>Know a small amount of magic, well at least I can put magic locks on my chests of ebony and make a few septims on the side with some basic spells>Know a good amount of magic, your ebony shipping company is doing ok and if you need an emergency influx of coin you can take a boat to the mines then Recall a shipment back, but most of your time is spent running the company and maintaining your various spells so the opportunity cost of doing this isn't 0>Know a lot of magic- At this point you can make quick trips to the mines yourself without much effort thanks to a quick and easy combo of Jump 100 pts for 1 sec belt and constant effect Slowfall 1 pt amulet and return with a Recall spell, but it's usually a more effective use of your resources to just pay someone, perhaps an apprentice just learning to magically lock chests, to deal with it>Be GODLY MASTER WIZARD>Need some Ebony for conjuring the newest version of "clone waifu with gigantic titties" spell>Going to the mines? Running a business? What are you, a peasant?>Conjure a Dremora Lord, use your 100000 STR from alchemy and punch him into dust in two hits, grab his Daedric Claymore before he vanishes*, and melt it down with a quick fire spell to get some extremely high quality EbonyAnd that's how magic self segregates itself from the workforce.*This actually works, at least it did back on the Xbox version.
With the slop revolution is it possible to actually unironically recreate Morrowang not even with Skyrimjob's version of Creative but the Starfield one or even the next one without taking fifteen years
>>748986402Maybe you could but why would you want to?
>>748986097And they changed their skin color too for worshipping demons. Hmm remindes me of somebody else from real world
>>748986097No, they either left on their own accord during the incident that led to their creation or the Altmer got self-conscious about enslaving them and let them go free a while later
>>748986219The Empire at the time despised Orcs and didn't associate with them, and even if that wasn't the case the Empire never actually conquered the Summerset Isles in the traditional way, they set a big time warping robot after the Altmer instead.
>>748986097>>748986219Orsimer were originally Altmer, just like Dunmer. Specifically, both of them were Altmer followers of the Aedra Trinimac specifically, the enforcer of Auri-El/Akatosh who actually did the murder on Lorkhan. You can think of it like a highly-respected Altmer warrior-cult. So one day, the Daedra Boethiah, who is a bit of a devotee to Lorkahn, starts whispering to a member of this cult named Veloth. Boethiah tells Veloth that Trinimac is wrong-headed and a liar, and about the Walking Ways, about a promised land to the east, and introduces him to the other Daedra Mephala and Azura who are going to help and teach him the right way of achieving the Psijiic Endeavor (one of the Walking Ways, summarized as apotheosis through struggle.) Veloth preaches the Daedra's words, and gathers a group of followers to himself throughout Trinimac's cult, and then flees the Summerset Isles. They are pursued by Trinimac and the rest of his cult, ostensibly to punish the heretic Veloth and return the others to the flock. They catch up, and Boethiah proceeds to trick Trinimac and eat him. This is both metaphorical and literal, she eats him and absorbs his properties and identity. She preaches to the whole group in Trinimac's voice about his lies and the rightness of Boethiah's teachings, and then takes a big fat shit right there on the ground. This shit is both literal and metaphorical too, as it represents the cast-off lies and negative features of Trinimac while Boethiah keeps the rest. So everyone present, the loyal followers of Trinimac and the heretic followers of Veloth, kneel down and rub the holy feces all over themselves. To the followers of Veloth, nothing outside changes, but from them on they identify as Altmer no longer, and call themselves Chimer, 'the changed ones.' The despairing followers of Trinimac mutate into the foul and ugly Orsimer, and the feces itself becomes the Daedra Malacath, prince of betrayal and the scorned.
>>748985871Not really since he uses, you know, umbra.
>>748986097>>748986219>>748987375The Chimer then leave to continue following Veloth to their promised land, the eventual Morrowind. Meanwhile, the Orsimer split into two groups. One continues the pursuit of the Dunmer, and become the Orcs who harass them in Morrowind in later parts of their history. The other group returns to the Summerset Isles in shame and dishonor. There, the Altmer strip them of their Altmeri status, and enslave them as a lesser race. This enslavement continues for an indefinite period of time, until eventually the Altmer themselves ban slavery and free all of their slaves, exiling them from Summerset in the process. Orcs proceed to, from here, spread all throughout Tamriel, though a particular group allies with other freed slave-races under the Altmer (the so-called goblin-kin, Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, Gremlins etc.) and settle in the Wrothgarian Mountains of High Rock. This group would found Orisinium, a large fortified town, and despite its eventual and repeated destruction, this would become the nucleus of 'mainstream' Orc culture you see in the games. Things continue this way throughout most of history, with Orcs being treated like monsters and not people, until eventually the king of the most recent Orisinium, Gortwog, convinces the protagonist of Daggerfall to give him the control device for the Numidium (among several others, Warp in the West you know this probably) and he uses it to conquer a huge swath of territory and petitions the Empire to recognize it as a Province and the Orcs as people instead of monsters. The Empire is debating provincial status but has accepted the Orisimer, very clearly entrenched now, as people, and the Orsimer of Orisinium and those outside it who agree with Gortwog's goals proceed to try and integrate themselves into the Empire. One of the most popular of those ways is by serving in the legions and earning respect that way. This is the situation as it stands in Morrowind.
>>748971608Because TES is not grimdark Hopelesscore nonsense like 40k
>>748979593The ghost of old Hroldan proved he did not need someone to shout for him.When actual ingame lore is verifiably true it trumps in game heresay.Talos was not three people. The single source for that contention has been proven false.
>>748984708that looks fucking awesome
>>748987749This is a Morrowind thread. Skyrim is full of retcons to the lore as it was at the time of Morrowind, which itself retcons Daggerfall (Imperials didn't exist back then and neither did Talos or the background story of Tiber, in there he was just a Breton too.) So anything Skyrim says is going to be irrelevant to what we're talking about with Morrowind.
>>748987875Well just as long as you realize the heresy has been invalidated as a legit source of lore.That is why the whole "Talos is three people" thing isn't catching on.I would suggest you give Tamriel Reimagined a shot but l get the feeling you are way ahead of me on that one.An aside, isn't there something in TES about stagnation in the metaphysics?
>>748987375i still wonder what IRL mythos Kirkbride lifted to get all the poop stuff from
>>748988234I could not be fucked to care what Skyrim says while I am in the Morrowind thread discussing Morrowind lore. If I wanted to evoke Skyrim's retcons, I'd do it in a Skyrim thread.
Tiber Septim clearly liked elf pussy so he couldn't be a nord. Nords like argonian and khajiit pussy
>>748971398>>748971527Mentally, Nords are superior to Redguards>Nord male: 30 intellect, 40 willpower, 30 personality>Redguard male: 30 intellect, 30 willpower, 30 personality>Nord female: 30 intellect, 50 willpower, 30 personality>Redguard female: 30 intellect, 30 willpower, 40 personality
>>748985813Orcs are from the mountains in High Rock
>>748988958female redguards have better personality though
>>748988352That other feller is right though.You are purposefully limiting yourself in order to hold on to an irellevant bit of head canon.You could at least champion one of the good TES games.
>>748989612>other feller
>>748972156why use any sort of conventional travel at all when instantaneous mage guild teleporters exist and are apparently incredibly cheap?
>>748989496Have you ever met one?
>>748989701The other feller seemed to stop resonding for some unknown reason.Odd.Good thing l was here to pick up the mantle.
>>748989718Don't you need to be a MG member to use those?
>>748990043no
>>748987749Why would the ghost tell the difference if he only knows the figure as Hjalti?Do you know we might see colours differently but will never know, because to me and you they are both "blue"Try a new argument you dumb ass
Why in the modern age is media with alchemy, magic, ancient prophecies and acestor spirits so popular?
>>748989938say againe bruh
>>748971180If you had a high INT stat you'd knew
>>748990497Ghost sees the player as Hjalti because the ghost only sees the dragonborn before him.It is not a difficult concept to grasp. Well for most people anyway.

>>749003806They're reptomammals like in Star Wars they have nipples. You notice how they don't eat Guar eggs? That's because they give live birth.
>>749002020It's Ranis Athrys for me. I want that blooty bouncing on my thick, barbed Khajiit cock.
>>749007763Live birth ≠being a mammal. There are several species of reptile and sharks irl that are ovoviviparous or even fully viviparous but obviously aren't mammals. Hell there are even some bugs that do it, look up velvet worms
>>749008202Look up aphids if you want something really weird.
>>749008202Okay sure, Guars are mammalian in the sense that they give live birth, produce milk, and have a mammalian social structure and behavior that allows them to be domesticated. I don't care what TR says that mod isn't canon, Guar have titties. They're reptilian in that they have scaled skin, a dinosaur-esque bodyplan, that's it. I doubt they're cold blooded, they move and eat too much for that to make sense.
>>748987749Calling him Hjalti at all in that very quest supports the heresy, that name comes up literally nowhere else.

>>748967810No one -- not the oldest Dark Elf of Mount Dagoth-Ur or the Ancient Sage of Solitude himself -- can recall a time when the Orc did not ravage our fair Tamriel. Whatever foul and pestilent Daedra of Oblivion conjured them up could scarcely have created a more constant threat to the well-being of the civilized races of Tamriel than the obnoxious Orc.Orcs are thankfully easy to recognize from other humanoids by their size -- commonly forty pertans in height and fifteen thousand angaids in weight -- their brutal pig-like features, and their stench. They are consistently belligerent, morally grotesque, intellectually moronic, and unclean. By all rights, the civilized races of Tamriel should have been able to purge the land of their blight eras ago, but their ferocity, animal cunning, and curious tribal loyalty have made them inevitable as leeches in a stagnant pool.
There is a troublesome orc pestering the pilgrims around Bal Foyen...

>>749014757>largest city in skyrim>wood plank walls
>>749015817Yeah, so explain night of tears. Fucking nigger trying to paint whitey bad again.
>>748991676Are you actually fucking stupidThe ghost only knows Hjalti as dragonborn who shouts regardless of if it was actually Wulfharth or not you utter retardThe point is that Wulfharth wasn't discernable from Hjalti/Tiber>Hjalti went up to the gates, and the storm followed just above his head.>He shouted down the walls of Old Hrol'dan>After their victory, the Nords called Hjalti Talos, or Stormcrown.>He sends the Underking to deal with Imperial expansion into Skyrim and High Rock.

>>749015918that's all stone tho
>>749016121Are you saying the ghost couldn't tell the difference between Hjalti and Wulfhearth when he was alive?That stretches credulity.Follow the logic .The person that shouted in the ghosts time was dragonborn.The ghost sees the player as the person that shouted during his time.The ghost saw Hjalti shout during his life.Unless your contention is the ghost could not tell the difference between Hjalti and Wulf your argument is retarded.If that is your contention it is still retarded but slightly more plausible.
>>749009720They use it in Skyrim.Even if your point were true all it would prove is Tiber used the name Hjalti while he studied under the sword masters.Nothing more.

>>749021154Every daedric prince is technically like that in nu-lore, and Mephala is the one that has it as a main gimmick. Boethiah's case is more of a result of Bethesda intending to change its gender permanently in Morrowind and then changing their minds in Skyrim
>>749010162This made me imagine Ruptga speaking like one of those old boondocks characters
ORC KILLAGRAVE YARD FILLA
>>749018924That is literally what it says in the book you fucking stupid inbred cunt, what the fuck do you think this means?>>He sends the Underking to deal with Imperial expansion into Skyrim and High Rock. Ysmir, mindful that it might seem as if Tiber Septim is in two places at once
>>749023835So your theory of the case is the ghost has ghost alzheimers and can't remember if the the guy who promised to make him a sword brother or the cloud above his head was the dragonborn?Are you really going with that? Please say yes.If you realize you have lost this one respond without adressing this glaring flaw in your thinking.For bonus points get extra salty about it.
>>749023835Still me so don't cry about samefagging.Why do you keep bringing up the book instead of the ghost that invalidates it?
>>748976356Too much soul, needed to be as normie as possible for those CoD bucks
>>749005785>He is marked as essential and if you kill him, you will receive a warning saying With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created. This is not true, however, as Batou is not related to any quests, and killing him does not have any negative consequences. It's likely that he was intended to be related to a quest which was removed or never implemented before the release of the game.It's a mystery

>>749022474What about Meridia? I know she’s technically not a daedra per se but she’s still the least worst one aside from Jyggalag.
>>749025517Living in a doomed timeline is the only way to get a good ending.Fuck that prophecy like a girl at a Cornell frat party.
>>749025942I meant the genderfluid bit
>>749024391No, you're either stupid or disingenuous Shut the fuck up and actually read what I said, or fuck off you spastic>>749024514The book is the ONLY place Tiber is names HjaltiKill yourself
>>749026561What is the name of the sword you retrieve for the ghost called again?I did read it. That is why I asked why you keep referencing it when we are discussing the ghost that invalidates it.I understand why you are avoiding it. It is just funny to watch you get madder and madder.TES lore is convoluted and not for casuals. You will get there if you put in the effort.
>>749026561Tiber is called Hjalti in both the Heresy and by the ghost.This is why it is confirmed by the ghost.What is a better source, a second hand account or the word of someone who was there?The heresy has been proven an unreliable source. There is no way around this.Not without retcons.
>>748967810now post the Argonian genderfluid one.
>>749028524It's called sequential hermaphroditism
>>749021154>Why is Boethiah such a cunt?Like I said, she's a Lorkhan groupie and Trinimac is the one that killed him. The goal is to lead mortals to Amaranth, to get them to see what Lorkhan glimpsed. It's the entire true purpose of Mundus.
>>749025942Meridia is a former Magne-Ge, or an et'ada that took part in creating Mundus but left it at Convention. There is no meaningful difference in the nature of et'ada of different factions except that MOST Daedra are more Padomaic (chaotic) and MOST Aedra are more Anuic (static.) Daedra come across as mean because of how they perceive mortals, either they're only involved in Mundus because they're bored and see mortals as funny toys, or else they have purposes/goals for mortals and don't see their deaths as cosmically meaningful because death just moves you through the dreamsleeve to be reincarnated. Meridia is actually quite the spoiled bitch and has her psycho triggers, she's just Anuic and a former Magne-Ge so she wants to be seen as all light and radiant and so has good PR.
>>7490298166 of one, half a dozen of the other
>>749030445No, genderfluid implies you just change your "gender", that is a societal role or identity or some shit like that, while Argonians presumably physically change their actual biological sex, like some animals in real life do
>Meridia says necromancy is le bad>but turning your slaves into live flesh sculptures or mindless automatons is a-ok
>>749007929she's a cute slut that needs correctionhttps://files.catbox.moe/5lt3cl.jpeg
>>749031854It's not necromancy if the soul never leaves the body
>>749031854Is my game bugged or are these guys supposed to make a sound identical to the "achievement unlocked" sound on Xbox when you shoot them with an arrow

He, for a very long time, fooled the Aldmeri into thinking that tears were the best response to the SunderingChanged Ones>Finally Trinimac, Auriel's greatest knight, knocked Lorkhan down in front of his army and reached in with more than hands to take his Heart.

Both are responsible for killing Lorkhan but not being able to destroy his heart. And both vanish from Mundus albeit for different understood reasons. Ruptga is a human variation of Trinimac as seen by the uniquely Anuic Yokudan humans.
recommend me some more sovlfvl mods for openmw similar to the crafting framework and associated addons
>>749034876>the strongest of all the godsThen why was Boethiah able to eat Trinimac and convert him to shit?
>>749035064>how did the god of deceiving your enemies to gain advantage defeat the biggest strongest god?
>>749035064>believing the god of lies
>>749035336Trinimac's followers are now poo-elves and Trinimac himself is now the poo-god, so someone sure shit him out.
>>749034698>why are there reachmen in the Reach?!>why are there Redguards in the Cyrodill/Hammerfell boarder?!Gee, Retard. I don't know.
>>749035482>why are there reachmen in the ReachYeah, why? The Nords should really do something about that.
Wealth beyond measure, outlander.
>>749019930>orcish: mediumI consider the imperials (that fight) more into the heavy plate tank style than orcs, with shield too, gotta protect the quality mercandise, but they're practical, they'll shoot or cast or fight, whichever gets them back to sitting in an office counting coins the soonest and with the fewest wounds. Orcs just want to look scary and wreak havoc for as long as possible before they get put down, and more plates helps with that. They'd tank shots just for the intimidation factor more than being too much of a tard to care, although they want to die before getting old anyway so they don't care that much either.
>>749036130Imperials are kinda culturally divided. Colovians are more straight out warriors owing to their Nord heritage, while Nibenese are more uniquely magic-focused or light troops.
>>749036024These Dunmer are useless
>>749034698If anything the currently released area Project Cyrodiil area has a lot of emphasis on Bosmer (for fully justified reasons)

How come it's choke full of Tang Mo in Cyrodil but barely in Morrowind?
>>749036749There are no Tang Mo in Cyrodiil, they have Imga. Different monkey people, like how Khajiit and Ka Po Tun are different.
>>749036309I suppose what I'm saying is Imperial warriors give off the impression of more steady and methodical heavy tank fighting, with the focus on keeping health at 100%, while orcs are more strapping enough metal onto it to help facilitate going apeshit for as long as possible before it eventually succumbs or the enemy are gone.So, Imperials: immovable object, Orcs: unstoppable force.
It's almost time.
>>749037279>swimming in morrowindI'm scared of dreughs. I desperately watersprint between islands like a kid who just watched a horror movie running up the stairs after turning off the light
>>748976392Just go High Elf with the sign of the atronach. Yes it's a PITA having no magicka regen. But consider: -You can instantly regen magicka at any imperial altar-Most spells cost a pitiful amount, and you'll start the game with like 200 magicka-Combat is much more scarce in Morrowind than in most RPGs. A typical dungeon will have 5-6 enemies, even the starting spells will kill them very fast. You have way more magicka than you need usually. On the downside, you will have to permanently have magicka potions on your hotbar. And you'll be hearing the magical potion chug sound effect throughout your playthrough. But it's a really fun build, especially once you reach the late stages of the game and start creating custom spells. I would highly recommend it. Bonus points if you go House Telvanni for the roleplay.
Just found out that Dres territory in TR is planned to be full of Skyrenders. Yeah looks like I'm never going to see Dres content
>>749037537If you're playing with companion mods you can recruit Dax Soranus in Old Ebonheart, he's a bard that can give you a magic regen buff for 35 mins at a time and only 10 gold a pop
>>749037537mana only regens with sleep for non-atros anyway in morrowind, might as well just make it routine to go the temple before bed or in the morning and enjoy the huge boost to mana pool, not really a big deal.
>>749038126>>749037537also, spell absorb! As much as you can get! Makes wizarding so much easier.
>>749037859It's because Skyrenders come from the official Adventures Redguard comic, where Dres slavers are depicted riding giant wasps, thus making them one of the few major pre-ESO Dres things (ironically, that game ignored it entirely)
>>749038126No if you travel with silt strider magicka regens
>>749037537>Combat is much more scarce in Morrowind than in most RPGsYou literally get attacked every 5 steps by the local fauna

>>748975868Lorewise its still one of the best possible mass manufactured armors. Of course it’s easy to forget is as the player character, who’s an exceptional era-changing individual (and Oblivion’s level scaling silliness also doesn’t help), but most of the best armors in the games are supposed to be super rare Gucci stuff that you’d never have enough to outfit an entire army with.Morrowind actually did that really well, with glass and ebony being limited to extremely wealthy and powerful individuals such as great house leaders, guild elite etc. and daedric is rare enough that even most of people who live an adventuring lifestyle will never encounter it, and even less dream of owning even one piece of it.
I really fucking hate quests that want you to fuck off to the other side of the continent as soon as you arrive in town fresh off the silt strider
>>749037537look at this N'wah, he doesn't summon the ghost of his grand-grand-grand-granddad and let him cast a few spells on you, fully recharging your mana

>>749015817>nords are unironically more akin to AfricansThey are literally vikings dude
Been attempting to put together some animations for onehanded spears and I could use some feedback. Overall the main goal was animations that fit in well next to Morrowind's, and for the most part I think I've succeeded. It wasn't possible to get the slash to look right and I've replaced it with an overhand thrust, it stands out more than I wish, but at least I think it looks good. And sorry about the awful video quality.
>>748981959imperials are freaky like that though
>>749016636Nords were actually there first, they originated at the throat of the world, went to atmora, and came back to Skyrim
>>749040203According to the woke crowd Vikings were black now.
>>749040496attacks
>>749041126movement

>>749039023kwama foragers die in like 2 hits though so, an atronach character has a veeeery comfortable mana pool even for a long trip. The real threat is sleeping in the wild and waking up to a dark brotherhood agent. lol
>>748976501Bethesda devs probably have 70 IQ themselves. It's still hilarious to me how they retconned orichalc into green metal used by Orcs for presumably no reason beyond the fact that the words vaguely resemble one another, truly some kindergartner-tier shit
>>749041126>>749041184>>749041282cool
>>749041126>>749041184>>749041282Looks exactly as janky as vanilla. Which is a compliment seriously, they fit right in.On another note I would love it if someone could finally rework combat animations for Morrowind. All we've had these years is a fixed straight running and walking animation and that's it.

I prefer playing as Monks myself so usually Khajiit is the race that better supports this. Which blows because I don't want to play Khajiit unless they're Pahmar or Pahmar-raht
>>749043390First person animations are nice. I only don't like the 2-handed attack animation because it feels slow but minor complaint.Dynamic animations is whatever to me but nice idea. Strongly dislike the slutty female walk though.Alternative animatios is the one that tackles what I want. It seems like it has promise but is still WIP because there is stutter and animations feel choppy.Hit reactions are very nice. A bit weird with spells damage over time but whatever.
>>749043646hand-to-hand is probably the fastest and easiest skill to max out, it makes no difference what race you play
>>749037463it's not the swimming I'm talking about.
>>749043646like quadrupedal BS/PTR pahmar or ESO's bipedal tiger people pahmar
>>749045961The playable Tigermen I assume.
Here's a mod that lets you finally walk to Mournhold on the mainland. As the mod title says, it's just place holder, but seeing how the official TR stuff involving Mournhold won't be dropping anytime soon, this will have to do for now.https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/58711?tab=descriptionAlso recommended to install alongside the mod is this. While not required, it makes sure Tribunal's main quest can't be done by players visiting the city early. Perfect for players that are roleplaying characters that are not/not yet the Nerevarine.https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/47985
>>749045936The webm shows someone swimming in morrowind though, which reminded me of swimming in morrowind so i thought i'd talk about swimming in morrowind briefly if that's ok
>>749047661Talking about video games on /v/?What kind of animal does that?
>>748967810All the races were so cool in Morrowind and just devolved in every game after that. I will never forgive them from turning Dunmer into raspy voiced unique culture to generic British slop
>>749039858Which quests are those?
>>749042995There are various small errors and inconsistencies in the vanilla animations that could be corrected. While implementing the 1h spears I've found that besides walkleft (I think) all the beast race movement animations cause the character to tilt forward, the 1h running and walking sideways animations cause the character to tilt slightly in the opposite directions, the 1h chop animation clips noticeably at attack max, the 1h chop large follow (I think) is a frame shorter than the medium and small ones. and I also know there are problems with the polearm animations.If however, you want to make nonjanky animations from scratch, then there are several difficult and insurmountable hurdles. The biggest immediate problem is the inconsistent and often buggy rigging in clothes and armor as well as the pauldron designs themselves, unless you settle for a tiny range of motion there will always be errors, and that would stand out a lot more with cleaner animations than Morrowind has. The attack hold system will also produce clipping unless you take the exact same path from max attack to min hit that you took from min attack to max attack, this really limits your attack design, but I suppose this is solvable with clever lua scripting. The systems for mixing animations together (like running while attacking) also leave a lot to be desired, the bone groups are very restrictive, and there isn't any (sane) way to implement physics or add dynamicism. I really hope OpenMW adds a way to query and modify individual bone orientation via lua soon, that would be a game changer.
>>749037279I understand and share your enthusiasm, but does the AI handle it well?
>>749042995https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/60253
>>749037279Oh wait, won't this mean we can have water in TR at multiple elevations?
>>749048343I see. That was a really nice explanation of the situation honestly. I do hope that OpenMW allows for modders to be able to animate things with more freedom some day.
>>749048841>Original upload15 September 2026, 5:45PMOk I haven't been up to date. I'll check it out.
>>749046227The ones that are in the game right now? Those are Cathay-Raht. PTR goes with quadrupedal pahmar.

>>749053970I just use Magical Mainland Homes and buy a home that fits my current playthrough.In my last Indoril run I bought the manor in Akamora (underrated city imo).My last Redoran run I was larping as a member of the Waters MarchI'll get around to doing a Hlaajew run when Wealth Beyond Measure releases and I haven't done a Telvanni run in like 15 years
>>749053970Soanix manor in OE is a good one. It only has one quest associated with it (for the thieves guild). You can delete all its NPC's after the quest without issue. Hasi manor in Anvil is also good since the owner is at Goldstone, and the rest of the NPC's are mostly guards that you can delete if you want
