So I just reinstalled and have set up lots of mods for flavor. One of these mods was the LGNPC thing. I get off the boat at Seyda Neen and talk to Eldafire or whatever and she goes off talking about how she was abused by priests as a child or something. Sooooo nope. If I turn off the mod am I going to need to restart my game entirely or should I be able to keep going no prob? Been a while since I've done this

morrowind is kinda a weird case in that most of the dialogue in the game is procedurally generated and somewhat stilted and forgetable, but it basically doesn't matter as it's telling this massive big picture story of the fate of nation and the end of a religion. even if lgnpcs wasn't terrible i still wouldn't really give a poo poo about it, the game just isn't about the rich inner life of ralven hlarth, muckfarmer

Hate to steer away from Morrowind stuff yet again, but remember C0DA chat? Well someone made a Skyrim mod that explores some of that stuff. Haven't tried it yet though but it looks interesting and weird as hell.

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58672

What was the consensus on whether or not C0DA, and other out of game materials by Kirkbride, are considered a canon part of the TES lore? On one hand Kirkbride is the king of TES lore but on the other hand he is loving nuts and doesn't work for Bethesda anymore.

Even though the actual text C0DA is bizarre and not in the good Kirkbride way it's still better than pretty much anything Bethesda has added to the series so I'm pretty cool with just deeming TES open source and calling it a day.

in answer to your question i don't really think the idea of a consensus on whether something is canon really applies. maybe it does to something like the bible but the main thing that matters here is whether something good, and every player makes their own mind up what they think makes a good story and world (thats part of the magic of RPGs) and mk's recent stuff kind of sucks compared to the real poo poo such as pocket guide to the empire and the 36 lessons of vivec but it's still pretty good

:chord:
I didn't much like c0da but it's meaningless to ask whether its canon, the entire point was kirkbride saying 'everything/nothing is canon, do whatever you want'. and tbh the reaction to that is kind of 'yeah we know, it's a video game'

also to me that's like a michelin starred chef saying 'no food is better than others, cook whatever you want!' No dude, your food is better than others, please cook me something, don't tell me to have fun doing it myself.

procedurally 'assigned' then. like just about everything is dictated automatically by the npc's race/class/faction/geographic location which is why everyone always says stuff like 'i'm a commoner, i do odds and ends as a citizen of the empire, the rich get richer and the poor get pooer but w/e', it's not exactly riveting stuff. but maybe i'm just incapable of perceiving the perfect all-encompassing glory of Michael Kirkbride's Magnum Opus The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind? :shrug:

the only thing which really seemed to be crossing the line, by the standards of current empire and dunmer government anyway, was that whole corpus disease malarky. otherwise he's just another nationalist king dude who wanted to kick out the imperials and keep argonian slaves, but seriously what the christ was the deal with the degenerative body horror worm faced madness, that's just all kinds of messed up

I don't see why Bethesda cannot shell out the cash for a better engine, more programmers, and so on. I mean, they can cut some of the marketing budget, right? They can just say "Hey new Elder Scrolls!" and it would sell tons. gently caress they could've bought CryTek in its entirety with the money they invested in the Elder Scrolls Online.
