I'll say this for the story/back ground. It was really only doable in game form. It wouldn't have really worked well as a novel or movie.

I wish more people remembered all of Vivec's dialogue. People remember meeting him for the first time and seeing that he really does have godly power, but they remember less of what he says/can say to them. His dialogue does a lot to flesh out what Dagoth Ur's methods are and fill in blanks that you could otherwise miss.

It's a shame the technology at the time couldn't do the concept justice. In the concept art (and also in some of the documents in Vivec's palace) it's stated that corprus flesh is undifferentiated, protean matter and that someone with sufficient willpower can control its shape. In one bit of Dagoth Ur concept art in the art book he's sprouting a bunch of tentacles and poo poo out of one of his hands. If he grew appendages to attack you with and crap during the final battle it would have been a lot cooler.

You guys jump off the tops of the cantons and glide down the pillars or walls to get down to the ground floor instead of taking the stairs, right?

of course

it's hosed up that your acrobatics skill can start out low enough that you can't even hop the canton guardwalls though.

he's got a hosed up quasi-chim, he knows he exists within a dream but he thinks he's the dreamer. See: Referred to as the False Dreamer in all the MK junk, the whole "sleeper" gimmick he's got going on

i found out really quick that if you jump and land while looking exactly straight down you take no fall damage. great for getting down cantons instantly

IIRC you can also just run off the edge of a cliff - without jumping - and you'll take no fall damage when you land.

It was just for sliding off an object and landing on that same object. The two I know of are cantons and mushroom towers. I'd be surprised if most cliffs worked in the same fashion.

I got banned for a week on the Bethesda forums for saying Fallout 3 had bad and tiny textures and for saying, "I want whatever that guy is smoking" in a completely separate thread about funny YouTube videos. The reasoning for the former was because I was "lying and spreading misinformation" and the reasoning for the latter was, I poo poo you not, "advocating drug use".
