i had 9 of these fuckers chasing me after punching about another dozen to death with my bare fists before they ran me down and presumably devoured my corpse. ive leveled my hand-to-hand skill from 35 to 71 in like two hours just by running around between balmora, ald ruhn, and molag amur all the while punching the wildlife to death. i forgot how fun morroiwnd is

Next elder scrolls game should have multiple styles of hand-to-hand combat to specialize in. STraight up thug brawler style. Pugilism style. Akavari karate chop style. etc.

gg killing the thread mods

the fight with this guy was an intense 5 second spamfest of spellblasts from both sides and somehow the lone cattle caught in the middle made it out alive. this guy was a bastard tho.

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.

imagine how lovely it wouldve looked if bethesda did try to animate something like that

the cummunity surrounding morrowind seems to be going through a mini-revival lately. what, with tamriel rebuilt still going along, openmw nearing completetion, skywind nearing a public release, kirkbride doing his c0da project, plus all the random morrowind videos i see coming out. all this leads me to hope that bethesda sees how beloved morrowind is and takes a look at what about it people love and incorporate that into their next game.


then reality sets back in and i realize this is bethesda im talking about and i get a little sad.

Are there any good pieces of lore in TES:Online? I know the game is garbage, but surely there are some interesting stories scattered throughout.

nothing u cant already find on uesp or the imperial library

chim is a state of mind. everything you perceive as the ultimate truths as granted to you by CHIM ultimately exist only to you inside your head. vivec says he knows the truth of existence and that gives him the power he has. even tho he says he has this power, everybody else in the real world have no concept of such a thing as CHIM and what it entails. regardless of what vivec perceives himself as, everyone else perceives him as somethign different and he has no control over that. wouldnt a real god be able to control such a thing? either everything inside vivecs mind is real and he really is a god, that makes everything else just an illusion, not real and nonexistent. and considering we are the nerevarine and thus have the real tangible effect on the world, im inclined to believe vivec is lying. he doesnt have CHIM and ultimate power over existence because of the simple fact that we the player exist. if everybody undsterands CHIM is ceases to be a thing.

I just found another great part of Skyrim - College of Winterhold says 'nah we aren't uptight like the Mages Guild, necromancy is fine' but when you accuse the Windhelm court mage of necromancy during a quest he's all like 'what I'm an upstanding member of the college of winterhold, they don't allow necromancy how dare you'

they didnt even look at what they wrote before putting it into the game lmbo i wonder why that is

So are they just going to duplicate all the bugs that make Morrowind a loving chore to mod for in the first place, or what? Why not just supply a patch that fixes the broken scripts instead?

Because what's the point, then, if everything is broken in the same way? If I wanted an executable with heaps of obscure poo poo wrong with it, one of those has been available for 12 years and can be downloaded from Steam.

They're fixing the bugs otherwise it'd be a lot of redundant work when they later on go in and change poo poo up anyway.

Ulfric Stormcloak is a pawn of the Thalmor, unwitting or otherwise, and the civil war plays directly into the Thalmor's plans.

i think i remember finding a note or something in skyrim that straight up says ulfric is cooperating with the thalmor for ~some reason~

course if yer into c0da at all then none of it matter either way since the thalmor win anyway and kill all nonelves

Just a reminder that in Skyrim you can join the Imperials, but you can't clear out Stormcloak camps because a bunch of the NPCs are essential. OK yeah we're at war but whatever!

They're like the Jewish, in the sense that they were exiled from one land and were led by a prophet to another land. Also, their saints are depicted with halos, like many other religions (Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, Ancient Grecian and Roman, and a few others) but with triangles in them.



also have I hammered it in enough that I loving love Morrowind's art?
