It's some sort of hosed-up Mephala avatar, isn't it? One of my favorite Lore Things is that the Night Mother is just another aspect of Mephala, that she specifically created because she knew that Morag Tong dissidents were getting fed up with her. Sure, you can stop worshipping Mephala, because you're just going to go worship Mephala again anyway!

The whole deal with Sithis is that it's the embodiment of void, and as soon as the void starts properly responding, let alone actually giving things out, it ceases to be a void to begin with.

sithis/padomay is a really confusing one because it/he/whatever is basically one of the two very top level deities in TES and he isn't an inherently evil concept, he's just, like, half of a yin and yang type thing, but he isn't really recognised by anyone except a bunch of super fringey hosed up murder dudes. and his counterpart/opposite basically doesn't exist in any of the religions at all. Weird but true

Everyone else is just like "Eh who gives a gently caress it literally isn't anything".

i have a soft spot for the game but i cant really recommend it on the fact of how bad the melee is. guns are overpowered like mortimer so if oyu must play risen 2 do it with guns and make sure to side with the inquisition so you get better guns

Most are the same cool mesh with 9 different colors but your odds of seeing the same thing with different colors are like 0. One of the cool things included in it is the armor completion, so like the dreugh set now has full armor, and the dragonscale now has full armor, etc etc. Any extraneous piece of armor now has a full set. Dragonbone? GOOD LUCK but it's out there.

It's there for a reason. Fallout had a giant rear end manual with pancake recipes, it was great. Skyrim's manual is like 5 pages long in comparison.

I know on the forums when MGSO was getting big someone volunteered to make something similar for oblivion. All the mod authors said no. Like 30 no's and 3 yes's to the question "can we put your mod in this pack". Morrowind had the opposite response. Of course the real answer is "you don't own mods you make gently caress off I'm doing it anyway" someone make an oblivion pack

Morrowind manual was cool and the character pics had armor that didn't exist in the game but you could make them in the construction kit because it was weird poo poo like the top bit of a chitin pauldron and the lower part of an iron one.

you can pick the sub parts of pre existing armor and rearrange them. each armor piece had a mesh that took up a "slot" like some helmets took up a hair slot or a head slot, and since they take up two different slots you can merge them together into one weird helmet like a glass helmet with a daedric face of whatever

I think MK kinda sucks but I agree with ur wow armor I wish they would make armor sets that were based more on a fighting style or culture than material. Like different types of scale and mail. put towards an actual goal like maybe you want a light but durable armor I recommend this orcalchim studded leather or some poo poo. Just armor that looks like people made it based off of what materials they had on hand and what they planned on doing with it. It's dumb to have a linear iron > silver > steel > bonemold > orc > daedric whatever system. There should be benefits to using any armor at any point in the game. In skyrim it was a huge waste for me to even make banded iron because the jarl would give steel like 20 seconds later as the first main quest reward. And banded iron was one of the coolest looking ones IMO It'd be cool to see what the different TES cultures' solutions would be for different kinds of jobs like scout or skirmisher or heavy troop or battlemage, or archer or dignitary or whatever. post ur ideas for a good elder scrolls game still pissed netch leather wasn't in dragonborn

lol, so you have to kill this penitus oculatus buy for the dark brotherhood and his travel schedule is like "Monday, far western side of the province. Wednesday, middle of province. Saturday, far eastern side. Repeat". Yeah, I totally believe this guy is walking from one end of Skyrim to the other and then back in 7 days.
