[wispy wing]

[green bane]

is this slimer ._.

[rough smelt]

'You you're the one from my dreams" camera pans to the most horrid character

[rough bone]

WHO UP MANIFESTING THEIR PARADISE

[lilac orbit]

Nightmares*

[rough smelt]

Anyone else like to make light armor warriros

[rough bone]

If I'm doing like a bounty hunter sure

[lilac orbit]

I usually go light armor or just regular clothes for my mage build

[green bane]

clothes are more interesting to look at ._.

[rough bone]

The robes do go hard

[lilac orbit]

The dresses in the remaster look prettier

[rough smelt]

I like fo run around

[lilac orbit]

I'll send a pic of my character later ig

[rough bone]

Indeed

[rough bone]

Its always good to see other people's avatars in cyrodil

[green bane]

they need to bring back skirts

[rough bone]

We love the expensive skirt

Wore skirts with my bonemold armor cause it felt right

[rough smelt]

Morrowind let's you be a femboy i just realized

[rough bone]

If ya wanna, sure.

[rough smelt]

I do wanna

[rough bone]

We love to see it

[rough smelt]

I love the new dlc armor

[rough bone]

I should play more, but magic cards are addictive

[magic comet]

It’s just racist stereotyping.

Oblivion has a LOT of that.

It’s a way to demonstrate the casual racism of the Imperials.

[wispy wing]

I intended to be a light armour stealth magix character only to never use magic until level 20+.

[rough smelt]

I tagged block as major but I'm barly using it

[wispy wing]

Is there any way to knock down enemies now like in the original.

[lilac orbit]

Just lemme finish Knights of the Nine real quick and I'll send my avatar ig

[rough smelt]

Sad there's no knight of the nine ahivements

I normally do the nine dlc after thieves and dark brotherhood bc of the infamy reset

[magic comet]

I’m doing it during the MQ as kind of an intermission section.

It’s what my Hero is doing whilst Martin deciphers things.

[rough smelt]

I'm saving Martin rn just took me to level ten

I need some space

A random chorrol gurad is attacking Martin

I'm allready planning my 2nd run lol

I'm no where near finished with my character yet tho I just like to plan ahead

[lilac orbit]

@green bane

[green bane]

ver nice

[rough smelt]

Has anyone got chillrend yet?

[lilac orbit]

ye

[rough smelt]

How cool does it look

[green bane]

so cool it's hot

[rough smelt]

I'm 100% using it on my next character

[wispy wing]

Classic.

[wispy wing]

Can confirm its very effective at higher level content.

Open with a power attack to boost the damage of your regular strikes and enemies melt.

I think that's the main issue with Hatreds Soul.

It doesn't inflict a weakness to fire.

Might make a spell to use alongside it for that purpose.

Plan to make a weakness to all elements (besides poison) spell to use alongside the level 30 wizards fury I'll get from mage's guild.

[rough smelt]

Weakness to posion is mid sense no posion spells

[wispy wing]

I found a staff that inflicts weakness to everything at 100% on a lich.

Definitely not going to lug that around.

After I get marksman to level 100 I may just dump the boy and focus on magic.

Even though I'm atronach I'll be fine for magicka.

[lilac orbit]

https://youtu.be/dp7iI64dKsg?si=A9bBFITWBPQ2eVBE they be remaking everything

[rough smelt]

They did the imperial gurad song but it proabbly falls under shit post

[mellow pine]

I kinda like how these new questlines tell us how deep and big the Mithic Dawn cult is. its everywhere.

[magic comet]

I wish it wasn’t a shortsword.

[wispy wing]

Like it as a shortsword.

Doesn't weigh as much as it would as a longsword

[lilac orbit]

Gonna try out vanilla Skyrim because I genuinely forgot what it was like

[wispy wing]

TES1 had a spell that let you destroy walls.

[magic comet]

Yeah, but my build is focused on STR so shortswords are less useful.

I love Chillrend, so I’m jealous.

[green bane]

dude. "i'm just gonna install a graphics update" turned into 72 so far ..

[lilac orbit]

Oh god I forgot this was how Skyrim starts

Actually this gon be a good time to compare how good the Oblivion Remaster is compared to the previous game that came out

Fuck

It's like a goddamn rickroll you can't avoid

[wispy wing]

I mean it's not terrible.

You shouldn't get Chillrend until level 25 so you should be able to get both Strength and Agility maxed by then.

[green bane]

yeah do an rp run not a minmax one 😄

[magic comet]

I don’t have any reason to increase Agility.

[versed linden]

I usually have alternate start mods

[wispy wing]

Yes you do.

Agility reduces your ability to be staggered.

[magic comet]

I’m not too concerned about being staggered.

[wispy wing]

You should be.

[lilac orbit]

This magic casting is definitely more enjoyable than Oblivion's

[wispy wing]

There are enemies later on that can stunlock.

[versed linden]

Oblivion is better for hybrid magic builds than pure magic imo

[lilac orbit]

True

I think a mix of both would be perfect ngl

[versed linden]

Skyrim is the mix of both, as in Oblivion you could use both at once, and in Morrowind it was one or the other and you needed to swap

Skyrim you can have magic in one hand, sword in the other

[lilac orbit]

Haven't tried morrowind yet if I'm being truthful

Though I've heard good things about it's magic

[versed linden]

Magic in Morrowind is mych more interesting

You have cooler spells

Like Levitate

And Mark and Recall

And ALMSIVI Intervention

[wispy wing]

One of the strongest enemies in og oblivion was a rat.

[versed linden]

And Divine Intervention

[lilac orbit]

Casually presses ` and types in "tcl"

[wispy wing]

[versed linden]

This was like that but without commands

And without the disabled collision

[rough smelt]

Mark and recall uses fast travel

[versed linden]

So do the two intervention spells

[lilac orbit]

Kinda sounds like some shit from WoW

[versed linden]

It teleports you to the nearest Tribunal shrine

Divine Intervention sends you to the nearest Imperial Cult shrine

[wispy wing]

Dash did you fall asleep in VC earlier?

[wispy wing]

It's the names of the tribunal but as one word.

Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec.

[versed linden]

Vivec

[wispy wing]

Yes, typo.

Fat fingers on phone moment.

[versed linden]

Ayem, Seht, and Vehk

[wispy wing]

I'm surprised that there's no dialogue about the deaths of Sotha Sil and Almalexia in Oblivion.

It was only six years ago, and that's a big fucking event.

[versed linden]

Nobody cares I guess

Empire is probably happy about it tbh

Means they can crack down on Morrowind

As they don't have living gods to deal with anymore

[wispy wing]

They still have Vivec.

He doesn't poof for a while.

[lilac orbit]

I just realized, there aren't any kids in Oblivion, are there?

[wispy wing]

Like a century into 4th era, right?

[wispy wing]

Fallout 3 was the first BGS game to have children.

[versed linden]

Red Year happened early in the 4th Era

[lilac orbit]

It took me seeing one kid in Skyrim to realize this lmao

[versed linden]

4E 05 was the year Red Mountain erupted because Baar Dau fell

Aka 5 years after Morrowind

I mean Oblivion

[wispy wing]

So Vivec vanished 11 years after Morrowind.

[versed linden]

Probably

He probably doesn't have powers anymore

If he is still alive

[wispy wing]

It's possible he's hiding somewhere in Oblivion.

[versed linden]

Maybe

[wispy wing]

Or was kidnapped by a Daedric Prince as he weakened.

Molog Bal wants Muatra back.

[versed linden]

Awful

That whole lore bit is so weird

[wispy wing]

If Vivec shows up in Tamriel again the Dunmer will be pissed.

[versed linden]

Probably yeah

They went back to worshipping the three Daedra right?

[wispy wing]

His disappearance lead to what's basically the destruction of their homeland.

[rough smelt]

Well he hold them hostage to Godhood

[wispy wing]

Wait, Vivec vanished before the red year.

Because they started sacrificing souls to hold the meteor in the sky.

[versed linden]

Yeah

[rough smelt]

The three were huge cowards

[versed linden]

Most believe he vanished just after Morrowind

[versed linden]

They were too afraid of Dagoth Ur, so they just gave Morrowind to the Empire

And then gave Tiber and the gang the Numidium

[wispy wing]

The fact that ESO shows us that they knew he was coming back and did fuck all to prepare for it.

[rough smelt]

Well the third guy was dead for how long bro looks a bit rotted

[versed linden]

Sotha Sil?

[rough smelt]

Yeah

[versed linden]

He was mostly mechanical by that point tbh

[wispy wing]

I'm pretty sure Almalexia murdered him shortly after the heart was destroyed.

[versed linden]

But uh, I don't think he was dead that long

[wispy wing]

That's why she went nuts.

[versed linden]

Sotha Sil is definitely the best of the three

Especially when you talk to him in ESO

Very interesting character

I need to buy Clockwork

[rough smelt]

Bro needs some milk

[versed linden]

Him in ESO btw

[rough smelt]

He's basically a husk at the point of morrowind

[rough smelt]

Guessing bro got addicted to dwemmer tech or something

[versed linden]

Idrk the full of his lore tbh

I need to play the expansion

But uh, he has a city on a table where he hangs out

[rough smelt]

Vicvic the most evil god?

[versed linden]

Of the three? I argue Almalexia was the least good

[wispy wing]

Vivec holds an entire city hostage that worships him.

[rough smelt]

Vicvic forced his pepole to worpship him or die

[wispy wing]

Almalexia is a bitch.

[magic comet]

I think Almalexia was probably the best ‘god’ of the bunch until Dagoth Ur woke up.

She was incredibly egotistical regardless, but she was loving in the way people would expect a god to be. She snapped when Dagoth Ur woke up though. His awakening allowed her ego to shine through unfiltered by sanity.

[versed linden]

Didn't Sotha Sil prevent the Daedra from doing bs

[magic comet]

Sotha Sil was disinterested in doing anything for the Dunmer outside of Clockwork City though.

Maybe he was the most ‘good’ of the bunch, but he was far from the best god.

[rough bone]

He was a nerd, lol.

[magic comet]

Time to continue Renji’s pilgrimage and get distracted by every dungeon!

[prisma glen]

How much gold have you guys managed to hoard up so far? I’m only at 52k right now

[lilac orbit]

Just reached 150k

[prisma glen]

Nice

That’s a hefty pile there

[rough smelt]

I gotta start hoarding gold

[magic comet]

43k, but I don’t go to merchants that much.

[prisma glen]

I’m always running to the merchants, I keep taking everything off of the slain

[magic comet]

I have 500 carry weight, so i just kind of forget sometimes.

[umbral girder]

Levitate in morrowind was very cool but they also built the game around levitation, like there's tonnes of really cool hidden gear in places only accessible with levitate, where as if they had it just to have now there wouldn't really be a point unless they also made stuff only accessible by levitation

[lilac orbit]

Aw damn, ok I gotta wait for a steam sale for skyrim

Gamepass version doesn't like script extenders

[lilac orbit]

I didn't realize this until someone pointed it out

The remaster don't got the quickloot window

[lilac orbit]

Holy

[umbral girder]

Good I like when it stops time in the menu

[wispy wing]

400k+.

Without cheating for it.

[umbral girder]

2.5k

I don't buy anything so like

[wispy wing]

The trick is to always push your limits with how much you sell stuff for.

[umbral girder]

Well I buy repair hammers

[wispy wing]

I buy spells and potions.

[umbral girder]

I make potions

[wispy wing]

But yeah, I sell stuff at 76% of its value now.

[umbral girder]

I don't use magic except this absorb HP for 30pts touch spell

[wispy wing]

My main merchant has 2200 gold.

So that's the most I can sell items for.

[umbral girder]

Nice

[wispy wing]

I also don't really use magic much besides Heal Superior Wounds and Soul Trap.

I'm just collecting spells because I can't remember which spell merchants are at regular risk of dying.

I think...Bruma Mages Guild gets wiped out?

[umbral girder]

Maybe

Been awhile

[rough bone]

Yes. Mannimarco dusts Brumas guild

Pick up the dremora lord spell if ya want it

[rough smelt]

Only other way it to get lucky with spell tomes

[rough smelt]

Whould have the thamlor whipe out the knights of the nine?

[magic comet]

Probably not. It probably fell apart after the Divine Crusader disappeared.

[rough smelt]

Well they'd fight for the right to worpship talos if they were still around

[rough smelt]

It whould be Hella ironic to use the razor to destory the mythic dawm

[magic comet]

Dagon would love it though.

[rough smelt]

I think these are good stealth build majors

[green bane]

no archery?

[rough smelt]

Nope

Daggers

[green bane]

nice

[wispy wing]

Illusion is more useful than Athletics.

Paralyze.

[rough smelt]

Yeah but I can backstab and make paralyze poisons

[wispy wing]

Or you can just use the spell and save the inventory space for loot.

Since I doubt you'll be prioritizing strength early on.

[rough bone]

Seems like a pretty good stealth build to me

Looks fun

[wispy wing]

As expected of a nord.

[rough smelt]

Picture a nord wanting to go to sovingrade but you cast soul trap

[lilac orbit]

I used Umbra to fight all of them

[lilac orbit]

@green bane how's this dunmer look?

[green bane]

Thats vanilla? They fixed up the hairs

[lilac orbit]

Mostly

I changed facial and body textures to make em s m o o t h

[lilac orbit]

Gonna turn her into a Vampire

[rough smelt]

[wispy wing]

Level 31 will see all of the stats I care about maxed.

Still no Mundane Ring though.

My ascension is denied.

I probably won't get it until I do mq.

[rough smelt]

Level 7 one more level to max out agility and dpred

[wispy wing]

One of the Camerons is guaranteed to drop one at a high enough level.

[rough smelt]

Mudnane ring is just a better ring of namira

[wispy wing]

Nah, they do different things.

Namira's could be worn alongside Mundane ngl.

[rough smelt]

Unless you wanna be immune to magic for lols

[wispy wing]

Why not be immune to magic?

Reasons why Bretons are the superior race.

[rough smelt]

I just maxed out agility and speed so I quess I'll chould max out endurance and strength next

[rough bone]

Sounds fun

[rough smelt]

And I'll put the two remaining points into personality

[loud patrol]

https://i.imgur.com/ifwqLYw.jpeg

oops

[rough smelt]

Anyone else notice the arena outfits bugging out on yellow teams ones and showing half blue

[rough bone]

Can't say I have

[rough smelt]

It's the most minor of things

[rough bone]

Isnt the Rament of Valor unique in color

[rough smelt]

Yea

[rough bone]

Could just be its updated look, I dunno, I dont wear my rament of valor at all

[rough smelt]

When i fight yellow team they're outfits are fully yellow but when I go close it turns into the half yellow and blue

[rough bone]

Thats funny lol

[magic comet]

By Azura, she’s so pretty.

[lilac orbit]

Out in the daylight

Also FSR got some weird thing going with shadows

They're all fuzzy

Some flickering dark spots inside shadows

I might try out XeSS

[solemn lark]

Im doing the Ultimate heist and I cant sit in the chair

[magic comet]

Time to deal with some spies!

[solemn lark]

Had to go back 2 hours but I got the scroll

[lilac orbit]

Saw this online. Damn.

The grumpy old troll who lives under the bridge offed himself

[rough smelt]

The arena just glitched out for me

Quess i won't be beating that on my playthourgh lol

[rough smelt]

They fixed glass armors first major problem but I feel like it's still to much green

[wispy wing]

Nah.

[rough smelt]

It was neon green in the og it atleast looks like something

[wispy wing]

It's malachite volcanic glass.

Of course it's green.

[rough smelt]

I mean they chould have done it like morrowind

[rough bone]

Morrowind glass armor designs do kick ass

[rough smelt]

I can't complete arena questline

[rough bone]

Whys that

[rough smelt]

He says it's the wrong time when it isent

I guess I'm not being the grand champion in this run

[lilac orbit]

Skywind and Skyblivion glass armors

[magic comet]

Skyblivion has some amazing designs and then it has… that sometimes.

[lilac orbit]

I mean, compare it to what they upgraded from

mountain dew armor lmao

[magic comet]

I genuinely like the original version more. Remastered is better than both though.

[wispy wing]

The Remastered Glass is better than Skyblivion.

That looks like metal.

And Skywind is a downgrade from Morrowind's.

[rough smelt]

Are they removing the beast race full helment lock in skywind

[wispy wing]

Glass should not look like metal.

[umbral girder]

Nooooo I love it now

[umbral girder]

Ngl I love the way this looks too

They seem to have made it more blue like the Skyrim glass armor now

[lilac orbit]

True, the skyblivion one looks more like malachite or obsidian

[wispy wing]

I still don't understand the recipe in Skyrim.

Glass is a mineral that can be mined.

Just give us a glass mine out on the border with Morrowind.

Then make the armour out of that.

Malachite and Moonstone?!

[umbral girder]

Moonstone is probably the metal part holding the glass in place, especially in skyrim

Probably made from glass and silver in oblivion

[wispy wing]

Yes but there's no glass in the recipe in Skyrim.

Where tf is it coming from?

[umbral girder]

Ohh I see the problem

It's basically copper armor in Skyrim then

[wispy wing]

...

The wiki refers to Malachite as if it is Glass.

[umbral girder]

Irl it's copper

Or a type of copper at least

[wispy wing]

Is this some kind of Skyrim/ESO retcon?

Yeah, malachite is a type of mineral we get copper from.

[umbral girder]

I don't think it has to be a retcon

[magic comet]

It isn’t.

Malachite is in Daggerfall.

[umbral girder]

Because if you think of it like this, glass ore only available in morrowind, well morrowind isn't in the empire anymore or at least is basically a wasteland now so probably no one making glass mines anymore so the high elves can't get real glass ore so they substitute it for the malachite to keep the green

[wispy wing]

Fair enough.

[magic comet]

Malachite is the name of the volcanic crystal in TES.

The reason Skyrim uses moonstone is because that’s how the Altmer make their armor. The malachite is decorative. The moonstone is what makes it sturdy.

Dunmer glass armor is different from Altmer glass armor, which is what we see in Skyrim!

[wispy wing]

You mean Oblivion?

[magic comet]

No, Oblivion isn’t Altmer glass armor.

[wispy wing]

Morrowind has Dunmer Glass.

[magic comet]

Oblivion is Dunmer glass used in an Imperial armor style.

[umbral girder]

Probably

Shivering isles is cool, makes me think this is similar to how a morrowind remaster would look since it has big mushrooms too

[magic comet]

It definitely is, even if that wasn’t the intention at the time. Skyrim and ESO have established that Dunmeri glass is greener than Altmeri glass, even if the source material itself is the same.

[wispy wing]

The Altmer may have created the process but the Dunmer seem to have perfected it.

[magic comet]

I don’t think the Altmer created the process.

Oh, wait, they did.

I forgot Light Armor Forging says that.

[umbral girder]

Did you read that book, can't remember the name but talks about the war between the empire and the elves and describing entire legions of elves wearing ebony and daedric armor

[wispy wing]

Christ.

So that's where the Oblivion marauders get their supply from.

[umbral girder]

And the high elves made pacts with daedric lords too so they had legion's of daedric monsters to fight alongside them

Book is probably named after the war I just can't remember the name, pretty sure it's only in Skyrim

[magic comet]

Oh, the Orc smith in Morrowind says this too:

glass
“These light and elegant weapons of High Elven design feature extravagant use of rare metals and cutting edges made from rare crystalline materials. Duelists and assassins appreciate the delicate balance and sinister sharpness of glass weapons.”

[rough smelt]

Ewww elf armor

[magic comet]

My naming skills are top notch. =)

[wispy wing]

Only 100% durability?

[magic comet]

Yeah, I don’t power level anything.

[rough bone]

Thats how I name my stuff too sometimes

[wispy wing]

You don't need to power love armourer.

But if you're constantly repairing it'll increase pretty fast.

[magic comet]

I have no idea what just happened. I showed up in Kvatch to ask Savlian Matius for assistance with Bruma, and a huge fight between high level Daedra and the surviving guards was occurring. All of them except for Savlian died.

(Tierra survived too because she was vibing in the chapel.)

[magic comet]

Mine is at 53 right now.

[prisma glen]

Got my mercantile up to 100 last night, all my looting has paid off, got 168k

What will I need that much gold for? Absolutely nothing, but hey why not

[wispy wing]

The daedra respawn outside of the castle.

[magic comet]

Ahh.

[rough smelt]

I don't remmber that in the og

[wispy wing]

I don't think it was.

Just something I noticed when I was walking around looking at destroyed Kvatch.

I just see Savlian getting royally fucked by like four Xivilai, a Daedroth, and a Spider Daedra.

[rough smelt]

Remaster got some new game braking glitchs aswell

[wispy wing]

Nah.

[rough smelt]

The arena questline can bug out and no longer work

[prisma glen]

230k lol

[wispy wing]

Mercantile and looting is broken.

No need to use glitches to get gold.

I'm almost at 600k.

[prisma glen]

Yeah it’s absolutely insane

[prisma glen]

Level 24 finally looking like a true Colovian Warlord

[rough smelt]

I'm bad at making humans

Did I do good

[zinc zenith]

Looks fine

[rough smelt]

Decided to go back and make what I did in my childhood a breaton based off my self

[rough bone]

Looks good to me

[lilac orbit]

I sacrificed my character's ability to move her mouth for looks

No regrets

[rough smelt]

Looksmaxxing

[keen whale]

Think I did a good job at replicating my skyrim character

[magic comet]

You did better than I could have!

[keen whale]

I think alot of people are going to recreate their skyrim characters tbh

[rough smelt]

Obilvon creater so good

[keen whale]

Besides. My headcanon is my hero of kvach is actually just the dragonborn

Since elves live very long

It wouldn't make sense tho cuz... why would my character be arrested by the imperials at the beginning of skyrim if he stopped Merus dagon?

[rough smelt]

The thamlor

[keen whale]

Tru

My headcanon also goes that he fought on the side of the dominion

Also. I've only just broke the game 5 hours in.

[rough smelt]

How lmao?

[keen whale]

Since minor skills level you up now I just kept persuading everyone

Then. I used the very simple dupe glitch to get 185 repair hammers

Which I can either sell for profit and level up merchantile

Or repair my armour to level up armourer

[rough smelt]

I got all spells as major skills becides illusion idk if that's a good idea but

[keen whale]

This time. I'm not going to kill everyone

Its what I did in the original and it broke alot of quests

But I did kill one gaurd to get the dark brotherhood quest started

[rough smelt]

I chesse starting the brotherhood

[magic comet]

🙏 I did not get hit with the gamebreaking bug, thankfully.

[rough smelt]

I have so I'm making a new guy gonna try something new

[green bane]

Could do alteration for mage armor

[rough smelt]

If I do a quest low level and then turn it in later level do I get the higher level reward

[magic comet]

I finished the main quest. Rest in peace, ||Martin Septim.||

[keen whale]

The game is 18 years old dude.

[magic comet]

This is a spoiler forum, dude.

[rough smelt]

It's still nice for pepole who haven't played

[magic comet]

It’s a basic courtesy for anyone who has never played Oblivion until now.

[keen whale]

I only started properly playing it around 2 or three years ago 😼

[umbral girder]

[rough smelt]

I gave my breaton a argoigan name

[rough bone]

We're they raised by lizahomies?

[rough smelt]

Yeah

Idk if the name is dumb but it's dry-skin

[rough bone]

I could see them being like: Oh, it's Dry-Skin.
"Dryskin, got it."
"Oh, no, it's Dry. Skin."
"... yeah, Dryskin."
"No, no... I-"

[rough smelt]

Allso

[mellow pine]

Seeing the remaster makes me realise how good NordwarUA is.

Dang his models are top notch!

I think he did a better Legion set then virtuous. Looks like a perfect recreation

[rough bone]

Lmao "you should speak to Sabine Laul, who is super smart and pretty and kind and really cool..."

[rough smelt]

Feelz bad for the grey prince

[prisma glen]

Yeah something tells me Kvatch needs more aid than Bruma at this point

Looks like Mankar decided to open the great gate here, I don’t remember this massive hellspawn outside Kvatch as a kid for this quest but I never really did do it back then

lol just killed em all no issue, based level 24 big time major skills

[wispy wing]

Yes, the Great Gates exist to destroy and beseige cities and with several smaller gates.

It wasn't just the small gate outside of the city gate that opened in Kvatch.

The others closed once the city fell.

[prisma glen]

Yeah I know that, I’m on the aid for Bruma quest and don’t recall ever seeing such a big horde outside the castle when seeking aid from Kvatch

[wispy wing]

I think there's a bug that causes the daedra outside of the castle to respawn.

[prisma glen]

Bro said he has a few men to spare his whole detail is dead LOL

He better be a well practiced necromancer

[prisma glen]

What in the world is my game smoking?

[wispy wing]

Dagon had enough of your shit lmfao.

[prisma glen]

He must’ve, that was an insane play

[lilac orbit]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UoksadatjFc asmon needs the damn skeleton key

[loud patrol]

movin on up

[rough bone]

H a t

[soft vapor]

I’ve been deeply struggling with understanding how lockpicking works but I think I figured it out

[umbral girder]

Lol

[rough smelt]

What's a good dadric item to give u0

[rough bone]

Sanguine staff for me

[rough smelt]

There's the hammer from the orc dude

[rough bone]

Volendrung?

[wispy wing]

Skeleton Key.

[rough smelt]

Yeah

[rough bone]

Voldendrung is actually pretty dope

[rough smelt]

Skeleton key is goated tho

[wispy wing]

It's useless.

[rough bone]

The sanguine staff is pretty meh

[wispy wing]

Either learn to lockpick or do the glitch to quickly level it.

[rough bone]

Goated for sure

[wispy wing]

Both are easy enough.

Security at max is faster than spamming auto attempt with the skeleton key.

[rough smelt]

auto attempt is based on luck etc

[rough bone]

The skeleton key also looks dope

So like, yeah. Pick it up

[magic comet]

Depends on the character for me, honestly. Not every character I play is willing to associate with all of the Princes. This character gave up Spellbreaker because he couldn’t resist helping the frozen worshippers.

[wispy wing]

I swear to God if the Thieves Guild stole from Nocturnal again in TES6.

[rough smelt]

It was a cool idea in obilvon

[rough smelt]

Gave up ring of the khajitt

[eager sinew]

They ever gonna fix this busted ass difficulty scaling

[keen whale]

Sigurd is that you?

[lilac orbit]

Gon take a bit of a break from the remaster, played nearly 200 hours in less than 2 weeks of release and now I'm burnt out oof

[wispy wing]

Bro.

oh no that wasnt there earlier

[magic comet]

🤫

[loud patrol]

stylin

[soft vapor]

As a first time player, I suck royally at lockpicking

[rough smelt]

Ebony blade til I get goldbrand

[magic comet]

The Order of the Hour armor has such a beautiful design.

[keen whale]

Erm.

[keen whale]

Nab the skeleton key and you'll be fine 😼

[prisma glen]

lol did you see what happened to me the other day

#1364278291279646760 message

[keen whale]

Just... ignore why I'm killing people in Skingrad btw...

[prisma glen]

Nah I get that lol, every once in a while I do the same when I get a bunch of new gear

I’ll save and just go on a rampage and test everything out

[wispy wing]

The Skeleton Key is genuinely the most useless daedric artifact in the game.

[keen whale]

😾

[keen whale]

I've been doing that alot to test combat. And so far yes. This game definitely seems easier than the original.

Bows are so easy to use.

[prisma glen]

I got my blade and heavy armor to 100 and I’m just slicing through everything like butter

Level 24

[wispy wing]

It's the truth.

[prisma glen]

Gold is so much easier to get too the mercantile system is easy to goof

[wispy wing]

They hated me for speaking the truth.

[keen whale]

And since you can duplicate things...

Yeh. It's super easy to break the game.

[wispy wing]

You don't even really need to dupe.

Besides Black Soul Gems.

[keen whale]

I like to duplicate sigil stones

[wispy wing]

Trying to actually realize when it is the Shade of the Revenant is way fucking harder in this than the original.

You have to stand back like 50-75 meters and look up above the altar.

If you're too close you can't see the purple beam of light.

And if you don't look up high enough you'll miss it.

I wasted so much time trying to get Black Soul Gems, man.

[keen whale]

Its good to dupe an artifact when Martin sacrifices one

[wispy wing]

Nah, just sacrifice the skeleton key.

It won't be missed anyways.

It's slower than just having 100 lockpick.

Or actually learning the minigame.

[soft vapor]

That is one of my goals

It took me a while to even understand how the minigame works, and I think I get it now but I'm still struggling with even average locks

My strategy is literally just try to hit space the very moment the tumbler hits the top

[rough bone]

Make sure your pick is still in the little slot, keep push up and make sure the tumbler is touching the lock itself

Or, just spam x with the skeleton key.

Either works.

[soft vapor]

All I've done so far is clear out the ruin across the river from the sewers exit but will definitely look for the skeleton key at some point

[rough smelt]

Flase

[soft vapor]

Vilvarin I think?

I'm a total noob to Oblivion lol

I love how enemies have zero reaction to missed arrows

One ricocheted and bonked a goblin in the face and he was unphased

[rough bone]

It used to be the opposite lol

[rough smelt]

Must have been the wind

[rough bone]

The new drawing animation is nice ngl

Like, drawing and firing the arrow

[wispy wing]

Considering you can max out lockpicking in 10 minutes without wasting lockpicks if you're really bad, yeah pretty much worthless.

[soft vapor]

My coworker told me to watch how my character sprints in 3rd person and I wasn't disappointed

[wispy wing]

The remake made it even more useless.

[rough bone]

The sprint is so good

It always makes me smile

[wispy wing]

Now watch it with a high level character that has both agility and speed maxed.

[rough bone]

Yeah

[wispy wing]

And high athletics.

[rough bone]

It looks so great

[wispy wing]

ZOOM.

[rough smelt]

Athletics levels so much quicker in this

[rough bone]

The new two handed sword animations look so good

I love watching them in first person

[soft vapor]

Since I've never played OG oblivion, I do keep wondering what things were in the original and what is new

[rough bone]

Combos are a thing, first off lol

In oblivion og you just swing and swing and swing

[soft vapor]

Did the kill mark crosshairs come up when your arrow lands?

[rough bone]

Nope

[rough smelt]

Weakness to weapons on swords and shield on blunt

[rough bone]

There's sprinting now lol

[wispy wing]

Not really combos but the game encourages you to use power attacks to increase the damage of your normal swings.

[soft vapor]

I figured, even Skyrim doesn't have that, just a sound to indicate that you've hit your target

[rough bone]

They're deffo combos

In oblivion og you just could swing your weapon constantly

[soft vapor]

I've also noticed there's the occasional stab animation between the swings of your blade

[rough bone]

Yeah, animations have been added and refined

[solemn lark]

Found a Unicorn but it’s already dead when I got there. Am I just F’d?

[wispy wing]

Just grab the horn ig.

Don't sell it though.

[solemn lark]

I wanted it as a mount

[wispy wing]

Idk how it managed to die though.

It should be guarded by like five minotaurs.

[solemn lark]

For the Pilgrimage quest do I need to do the quests for each shrine or just discover them?

[wispy wing]

Wym?

Pilgrimage is for the nine shrines of the Divines, not the Daedric Princes.

[keen whale]

Ugh cloud gaming down

Can't play the remake.

[wispy wing]

Imagine a big strong nord warrior with a little Allfiq Khajiit in a backpack on his back that casts magic to support him in combat and peeks out on his shoulder as a cute little talking house cat.

[zinc zenith]

How many people do you think || took the Captain's sword and left the steel sword only to find out they should have picked up the steel sword? ||

[magic comet]

A lot of them. XD

[rough smelt]

Is there a point of the iron shortsword becides completing the set

[wispy wing]

The Iron Longsword is better than both.

[rough smelt]

Not if you're a low strength character

[magic comet]

Anyone who doesn’t pick up Renault’s katana is a dishonorable cur though. 💅

[rough smelt]

Chillrend my favorite shortsword

[magic comet]

Chillrend my beloved. 💙

[wispy wing]

Don't be.

[magic comet]

Pfft, who needs strength when shortswords are connected to agility now? (Me, help me - I didn’t realize that until way too late.)

[rough smelt]

Yeah daggers and shortswords are know agility based

[wispy wing]

Doesn't matter, Strength should still be a stat you increase.

Because carry weight is king.

Things in Oblivion are inherently heavier than you're used to in Skyrim.

[rough smelt]

Golden saint armor weighs like 200 pounds

[magic comet]

Eh, you can always use a broken Fortify Strength spell instead.

Or loot less. =P

[rough smelt]

Or feather spell

[wispy wing]

That's a mod.

[wispy wing]

Be broke then.

[magic comet]

Looting less won’t make you broke, though it’s not as if you need to be absurdly wealthy for many reasons in Oblivion.

[rough smelt]

It's not

You can get a set of golden or dark sudcer armor as a quest reward

[wispy wing]

Yes, it is.

I thought you were talking about Skyrim.

My bad.

[magic comet]

Level 20+ Golden Saint armor is about 126 units.

Insane, honestly.

Well, I guess it’s not that crazy since it’s a full body armor.

[wispy wing]

I think it's terrible that people are still trying to recommend the "just wear clothing with shield" bullshit.

It's horrible fucking advice.

Unless you're a dedicated mage.

[magic comet]

On the other hand, I’ve done that most of the game and have hardly taken any damage. Resist Normal Weapons and Resist Magic slays.

[wispy wing]

"You can get more armour with shield than the max level armour skills."

No, you can't.

Both Amber and Madness hit armour cap.

Which is like 80 or so.

[magic comet]

True, but they’re both ugly.

[wispy wing]

Enchanting all of your clothes with shield means you don't get to enchant it with something actually beneficial.

[rough smelt]

I like to keep feather clouths on me

[wispy wing]

Like feather, fortify stamina, fortify health, magicka, reflect, etc.

[rough smelt]

I wish there was fist clothing becides iron shackles

[wispy wing]

But yeah, you can max out most of the stats that matter at level 31 or so.

So there's no reason to not increase strength.

Just don't really bother increasing Luck and Personality until last.

You don't need to increase Endurance first anymore either.

A pc who gets 100 endurance early on will have the same amount of health as a pc who gets 100 endurance at level 30 when they get to that level now.

[rough smelt]

Picture chillrend armor

100% frost shield

[rough smelt]

I'm proabbly not cooking with this but

[magic comet]

It’d be super useful in Skyrim!

[rough smelt]

Does magic feel less cool in skyrim even tho there's more stuff like runes wards etc

[magic comet]

Both systems have their ups and downs to me.

I prefer the visual of Skyrim’s magic casting system, but I love being able to wield a 2H weapon and still casts spells without having to access a menu!

[rough smelt]

Plus you can make spells in obilvon

[rough smelt]

Gonna grab goldbrand

[wispy wing]

Increase your strength then.

[rough smelt]

I got 100 allready

My spellsword character ended up being op

[rough smelt]

Chillrend is the best shortblade unless im missing a weapon

[magic comet]

Level 25+ version does the same damage as a Daedric Shortsword

[eager sinew]

The combat in this game is so boring

Mainly cause the difficulty scaling is trash

Its either 3 shotting everything without dying or everythings a damage sponge and you die in 3 shots

[rough smelt]

Welcome to obilvon

[magic comet]

Honestly, this is an issue that plagues BGS games in general. I think you either love it or hate it.

[eager sinew]

The original had more difficultly options

[wispy wing]

It also had more variety to heavy attacks in combat you could use.

All removed unfortunately.

[eager sinew]

Ya but it is VERY evident in this game

Fallout very hard is no real issue, survival is a fun challenge.

Skyrim difficulty is better than this

Starfield difficulty is a joke

[wispy wing]

It's what happens when you replace a slider with static options.

[eager sinew]

Literally

5 fkin options

[magic comet]

I miss having various attack types like Morrowind had.

[rough smelt]

No ressaon to use the other attack types tho

[wispy wing]

Oblivion had heavy attacks that disarmed, knocked down, etc.

Very helpful in combat.

[eager sinew]

Difficulty options for this game are: Super Easy, Very Easy, Easy, Damage sponges, Impossible

[wispy wing]

And fun when you had to fight against them.

All gone in exchange for generic power attack that makes your target take more damage (at least for blade).

[magic comet]

On the flip side, the difficulty slider was terrible and was openly complained about for almost two decades. Moving to a difficulty setting with five options wasn’t the right move, but let’s not pretend the former option was good either.

[rough smelt]

^^^

[magic comet]

To be clear, I agree with you that the new difficulty setting is mediocre. I should not have been cutting down enemies as easily as I was on Adept, but the slider was just as equally a miserable experience. The entire approach to difficulty in BGS games needs re-evaluated in my opinion.

[wispy wing]

Ngl, remove player choice in difficulty entirely. /s

[mellow pine]

nice

i was finally able to get my horse armor

only to find out , oblivion didnt have mounted combat xD

aww man

[rough bone]

They all legged out, homie

[rough smelt]

I get all the visual glitchs lmao

[mellow pine]

I have that same issue

oddly , it happens in other games like DD2

i was told its hardware/driver related

but i dont really know

[prisma glen]

Paid off not being a low level pleb doing the battle for Bruma

Got my sweet Ebony gear and that Escutcheon of Chorrol on permanent display

The Colovian warlord shall stand tall in the north

[magic comet]

I think my statue is in Order of the Hour armor. Let me check.

He may or may not have the helmet on because I forget when the trigger is.

[rough smelt]

Going into battle naked whould be a funny brutal statue

[wispy wing]

Should've done it is a vampire.

[magic comet]

Doesn’t it bug out?

[wispy wing]

Not really a bug.

It's just a giant copy of your protagonist with a stone texture.

All afflictions present.

[soft vapor]

I think the Go Fish quest has to be the worst thing I've ever been asked to do in a bethesda game

That farmer can take those scales and shove them up his ass

I killed one slaughterfish, was about to run out of air so I surfaced, and when I plunged again I completely lost the corpse

So I ragequit and said nope

[rough smelt]

Don't worry the reward is a item that whould have been useful for the quest

[rough smelt]

Do you like or hate the origin stsyem

[rough bone]

I dont really have any feelings towards it

[magic comet]

It’s much better than tying physical attribute bonuses to sex.

They had to find some way to incorporate that bonus into character creation, and the origin system is an inoffensive way to accomplish that.

[rough smelt]

For the best mage build i quess its ewww high elf

[rough bone]

Yeeeeessss

Join the gaaaaang

[rough smelt]

I quess it's good to mix things up plus magic crafting is broken

[rough bone]

Spellcrafting is so fun

I like naming my summons

[rough smelt]

I just love being a lizard boi and lizards don't make the best mages early game

[rough bone]

It can be tough to be a magical lizard bro at first yeah

[rough smelt]

Atleast i can be a male lizard in the remaster and get that sweet willpower bonus

And intelligence

Technically base willpower but males get a 10 reduction

[rough smelt]

Anyone else get the bug where the necromancer amulet dident spawn in the dresser when becoming the arch mage

[rough smelt]

Game spawns the bloodworm helment in just fine

[magic comet]

At least it’s easier than Morrowind. 😭

[umbral girder]

Morrowind is so good tho the struggle is worth

[soft vapor]

10/10 voice acting

[rough smelt]

Repent your crimes wicked one has zero infamy i only punched one single dude

[wispy wing]

Maybe don't assault people.

[rough smelt]

It was just a prank

[wispy wing]

"Prank".

Like those dumb YouTube pranks, eh?

[rough smelt]

You think Todd wanted Shaun bean to voice Martian because he watched lord of the rings

[prisma glen]

Yeah pretty much

And the fact that mithril is in the game

There’s a quest called a knife in the dark which is a chapter from FOTR as well

[rough smelt]

Mithril is pretty bad ass tho

[prisma glen]

Yeah middle earth mithril is rad

Silver steel

[rough smelt]

It's my favorite light armor in obilvon

[prisma glen]

ES mithril is cool too and has more of an elven feel

The elves of middle earth probably had a decent supply of it back in the second age but really it was a dwarvish find and they pretty much had exclusive rights to it aside from trade deals and stuff

For it was only found in Khazad-Dum in the misty mountains, in middle earth anyway

[rough smelt]

Atleast Todd dident decide to retcon dwarfs being all gone because of lotr

[prisma glen]

lol yeah and thankfully TES dwarves are a little more distinct from Tolkien dwarves

[rough smelt]

Tes dwarfs are nerds

[prisma glen]

But yeah Tolkien’s influence had a direct impact on pretty much every fantasy depiction and understanding of elves and goblins and dwarves etc

[rough smelt]

Tes dwarfs casually make God killing weapons because they don't beleive in gods

[prisma glen]

Beforehand they were goofy woodland critters you’d read about in a brothers Grimm tale

Tolkien Dwarves are more financially greedy whereas ES dwarves are most greedy for knowledge and unorthodox methods in magic and other dabblings both make use of runic languages too, but that’s about where the similarities end

[rough smelt]

Dwarves enslaving and blinding a whole race just because that race wanted shelter

[prisma glen]

Yeah TES dwarves can lick a big one

I’m an Altmer main usually and I sympathize for my aldmeri cousins of old

[rough smelt]

Im not a big tes elf fan but damn dwarfs be evil

[prisma glen]

TES dwarves are also a form of elf whereas in Tolkien’s legendarium they’re a different entity not of Eru Illuvatar, he who holds the fire of creation

Aule made the dwarves in secret and only with Illuvatar’s blessing could the dwarves exist

But only after the elves would awake, would Durin and the seven fathers awake

[rough smelt]

Like damn

[prisma glen]

Yeah in most of my Skyrim playthroughs where I play Altmer I pretty much always take up the armor of the ancient Falmer and make it a point to cleanse the chantry as the last piece of Aldmeri history possibly remaining in Skyrim

[rough smelt]

I do find it funny tho you can find full body sized armor in the dwarf ruins

[prisma glen]

For the Falmer weren’t too different from the Altmer, similar architectural styles, same pantheon, pretty much the same culture with some slight variances in small things, same parent language naturally, I’d argue if the Falmer still existed in their true form in the 4th era, the Aldmeri dominion would likely extend an invitation to whatever political entity would still remain

[prisma glen]

The dwarves were actually probably of a similar size to the Altmer and Aldmer, they get the name of dwarves from the giants who easily dwarfed the Dwemer

iirc anyway

[rough smelt]

There was 2 snow elfs left but I think you kill them both in dawngurad

[prisma glen]

Gelebor still lives

And is probably the oldest living mortal that we’ve come across

Probably at least 500-1,000 years older than Divayth Fyr

Through some life extending magics probably granted by Auri-El

His brother Vyrthur though yeah is dead, he was slain

The Arch Curate

[rough smelt]

How old were the three

Atleast 500+ aswell

[prisma glen]

Divayth Fyr is somewhere around 4000-5000, Gelebor and Vyrthur were likely around 6000 or so years old

I think they were a couple hundred or so years old by the time the Chimer became the Dunmer

[rough smelt]

They were the gods during the time of eso

[prisma glen]

Though my timeline is a little shakey it’s been a while since I’ve dove deep into the Meric schisms

Oh are you talking about the Tribunal?

[rough smelt]

If you mean the three dummer gods

Yeah i meant those pepole how old are they

[prisma glen]

Yeah I was referring to the Falmer not the tribunal

The tribunal I’m not too sure, I haven’t delved much into Dunmeri history aside from the early schisms in which Veloth led the unorthodox folks to Resdayn, or modern day Morrowind

[rough smelt]

The falmer proabbly were around during the time of the chimmer

And never even saw a dark elf

[prisma glen]

Yeah they were definitely around, whether or not they’d know of each other is a different thing

And the Falmer likely wouldn’t welcome them

And vice versa

[rough smelt]

I don't think azura went ape shit and cursed them yet

[prisma glen]

Yeah I forget when it was that she laid upon the curse

[rough smelt]

The dummer really have it bad with there gods

[prisma glen]

Was it the merethic era or early first?

[rough smelt]

Don't know haven't looked much up on the yearly era

[prisma glen]

They have it bad but good at the same time, it was their ambition that granted them all their strength, and their ability to say screw you to the Aldmer ways of old resulted in them having a trio of Demi gods, at what cost though, as we can see into the fourth era they get boned pretty hard with the red year and Argonian invasion, maybe that was some form of divine retribution for meddling and going against the conservative ways

They relish in the trials set fourth by the Daedra whereas the Altmer and Bosmer and Falmer didn’t want anything to do with that aside from some outliers here and there

[rough smelt]

Well did they even want the gods because dident vicvic hold a whole city at ransom for his part for godhood

[prisma glen]

Yeah idk I feel like most of the chimer could care less or maybe would’ve warned against it, I think Nerevar was the only voice against it amongst the big four, and he ended up getting stabbed

[rough smelt]

Nerevine killed two of the gods which proabbly what made vicvic disappear causing the eruption of red mountain

[prisma glen]

But my knowledge on dunmer history is shakey at best, I dedicated most of my lore studies into the more aldmeri cultures of the Altmer, Falmer, and Ayleids

Well the Ayleids are a half and half type deal but most kingdoms still held the aldmeri pantheon in higher regard than Daedra lords

[rough smelt]

Ayleids wanted to kill all gods or was it just that one dude from the knight of the nine

[prisma glen]

They were praising the aldmeri gods and then later as the merethic era went on many kingdoms adopted Daedra worship, all kingdoms whether or not they were aedra or Daedra aligning still made extensive use of human slavery though, and they’d make human sacrifices and do twisted experiments in the name of praising a god

Then Saint Alessia would pray to the gods and would receive words from Akatosh to start a rebellion with a half bull guy and then later on the Whitestrake would enter the fray as the champion of the nedes

Slaying elves indiscriminately

Kind of like a Ysgramor of the south

[rough smelt]

All these early humans love to kill elfs

[prisma glen]

Yeah, for good reasons at the time, Pelinal did get a little unhinged and his rage knew no bounds in several instances

But he also had some form of clairvoyance and would shout the name Reman in a fit of rage, Cyrod would not know the name Reman until the time of the second empire

[rough smelt]

So basically they rebelled and they took over what's know the imperial city?

[prisma glen]

Yeah it would start in the outlying city states, the Ayleids were not a centralized people and governed themselves in what would be best described as a loose confederacy

White Gold Tower was the revered capital, and at the time was the Ayleidic temple of the ancestors

Some Ayleid Lords would show sympathy and sorrow for how they treated the humans, and would side with her during the rebellion, only to be stabbed in the back afterwards

[rough smelt]

Damn they went French revolution on there asses

[prisma glen]

The fabled last king of the Ayleids, King Dynar of Nenalata, would flee Northwest into High Rock, ruled by the Direnni Altmer for the most part, and would seek refuge there with his elven cousins, and his martial skill would aid the union of elves in warding off overzealous Alessian encroachers during the battle of Glenumbra Moors

[rough smelt]

I gotta play some more eso for all da early lore

[prisma glen]

Yeah it gets kinda crazy

I started with oblivion like 20 years ago so I had a good head start but I’m far from a lorebeard

I really only started delving into the lore with the release of Skyrim, as I was only like 8 when oblivion first came out and I didn’t have the mental capacity to retain such info

[rough smelt]

I need to read up on argoigans they're my favorite race

[prisma glen]

Yeah they’re definitely the most intriguing

Vastly different origin story from the other races

They owe their existence to a tree rather than a god

But they treat the tree like a god

And supposedly many Argonians were granted some otherworldly power by the Hist during the oblivion crisis which saw many Argonians charging into oblivion gates to close them themselves in some bestial form

[rough smelt]

I am the argonian I speak for the trees

[prisma glen]

Yeah they’re funky and cool

Got boned by the Dunmer for the longest time but they got their revenge after the red year

[rough smelt]

Did the khajitt play a big role in the rebellion sense they were allso a slave race

[prisma glen]

I don’t know what of much was going on in Elsewyr at the time, if there even was a Meric presence, but Pelinal’s wrath knew no bounds when it came to slaying a group of Khajiit who looked more elven in appearance due to their sub specie

And of course it’s debated the Khajiit were firstly mer before the intervention of the gods

Looking more akin to Bosmer

[rough smelt]

This is how they looked in the first game

[prisma glen]

Yeah that’s where a lot of the lore comes from in regards to the conflicted origin of the Khajiit

The good ol Arena depiction

[rough smelt]

Have you seen argoigans

[prisma glen]

Amongst other things I can’t name off the top of my head, you’ll have to ask a Khajiit expert for that

I haven’t nope, I never touched arena or daggerfall, or Morrowind for that matter, I started with oblivion in my youth, and by the time I heard of Morrowind I was in 5th grade and didn’t have the patience to suffer the lack of mechanics in that game vs that of oblivion

[rough smelt]

Daggerfall turned them into the lizards we all know and love

[prisma glen]

I think I played Morrowind for 30 minutes, I left Seyda neen and took a detour to balmora and got mauled by cliff racers, my save was right after I left the prison ship, so I just closed out the game and popped in L4D

[rough smelt]

And daggerfall gave khajitt tails

Morrowind made khajitt more cat like

[prisma glen]

Yeah that was a different fur stock as it’s generally regarded as by TES lore folks

The name evades me but it’s a different variant than you see in oblivion, and it’s all dependent on cycles of the moon

The appearance a Khajiit takes

[rough smelt]

Argonians have no lore ressaon on why they look different quess you chould say what ever the fuck the hist trees wants them to look like I quess

[prisma glen]

Pretty much

The hist is an enigma even to the more distinguished lore folks

It’s all theory

It’s been elaborated upon in newer titles but it’s still as enigmatic as it ever was

At least as I understand it, but I don’t dabble much in the history of the beast folk or the non culturally aldmeri folk

[rough smelt]

The sap of the hist tree seems to give the person power from what we saw in obilvon even if that one was tantied

[prisma glen]

Yeah and it affects non Argonians in a much worse way than it does Argonians

Naturally

I pretty much live in the black marsh of the US so it’s pretty funny when people talk about shit swamplands and unforgiving climates

And strange folk of course

Just this afternoon while visiting my grandparents I watched an alligator stalk a one legged crane in their yard

Got a big pond back there and a nature preserve behind that so it’s a cool backdrop

[rough smelt]

Floordia the blackmarsh

[wispy wing]

LotR caused the downfall of the TES series.

Massive retcons were caused by the trilogy.

And it's clear to see between Morrowind and Oblivion.

[prisma glen]

Cyrodiil was supposed to be a vast jungle until Todd watched FOTR yeah

As said by Michael Kirkbride

[wispy wing]

And it's why Nord lore was horribly retconned.

[versed linden]

What was original nord lore

What was Skyrim meant to be like

[wispy wing]

Bloodmoon's nords are a good example of what Nords would be like.

[rough smelt]

Dragonborn dlc tried to bring back some of the old nord stuff but

[wispy wing]

There's also the 1st and 3rd Pocket Guides to the Empire.

Eh.

[umbral girder]

Hist trees come from the previous kalpa

Idrk what it is besides a different universe that got turned into the new one or some shit

[wispy wing]

Redguards are also from a previous kalpa.

Basically survived world reset.

[umbral girder]

Ya and like wasn't mehrunes Dagon successful in taking over the world in the previous kalpa using the red legion of Dregs

[wispy wing]

Something like that ye.

[umbral girder]

Magine being the world super power and then going to being a bottom feeder crab man

[wispy wing]

[magic comet]

So the running theory is actually that both the Bosmer and Khajiit stem from the Ooze, a precursor ‘race’ of shapeshifters. Khajiit were given their feline theme and forms by Azurah, and the Bosmer were given their form by Y’ffre.

[magic comet]

Emil Pagliarulo was one of the ones responsible for the loss of the old Nordic pantheon. They almost removed any references to it completely, but some of the old guard fought to keep it around in some manner.

[soft vapor]

Canvas the castle was a pretty based quest

I enjoyed figuring out who it was by realizing their alibi did not check out with everyone else’s

[rough smelt]

Hirtel you might think crazy but is actually smart to just ran away

[rough smelt]

"If you kill me it will be a crime and you'll be rotting in a jail cell" walks outside and has the guards kill them

[rough smelt]

Bro watchs someone die goes back to sleep

[rough smelt]

Helpful vampire tip sleeping or resting only advances your vampire stage so if you don't wait or sleep you won't advance your stage

[magic comet]

But you also won’t level up!

[rough smelt]

Rest when you need to and drink

[rough bone]

I love being a vampire in oblivion

You just steamroll every enemy

[rough smelt]

I try to stay in stage 1 or 2

[rough bone]

I starve myself before intense fights

Like, kinda like a twisted green pact idea

[rough smelt]

Lmao

It's ironic tho my character Is a vampire who hunts vampires

[rough bone]

What knows how to kill a vampire very well and all their inherit weaknesses? Other vampires of course

[rough smelt]

That is true who knows best then another vampire

[rough bone]

What race is your vampire again?

[rough smelt]

Argonian

[rough smelt]

I got the deepscorn prisoner bug

[rough smelt]

How do I remove essential status

[rough bone]

My altmer vampire in the background like: I'm not even that bad, yo.

[magic comet]

She's only essential until the Thieves Guild quest "Ahdarji's Heirloom" is completed.

[rough smelt]

Time to do the thieves guild

[magic comet]

Time for the young Countess to get what she deserves! /hj

[rough smelt]

I was gonna do it anywas but im gonna rush the line just to end her

[rough bone]

We love it

[rough smelt]

Plus there's alot of || evidence that suggests she falsely imprisons argonians and tortures them in the torture chamber||

[rough smelt]

My prisoner is bugged so im gonna use him as a skill farm sesne I can no longer feed off him

I can't find her body but I got 1k fine

Just gonna assume I did the job

[wispy wing]

Dirty ass argonians.

Probably lick their eyeballs.

[rough bone]

I should go back home to my tower soon

[rough smelt]

Is it evil to beat the shit out of my vampire cattle?

[magic comet]

I mean… yeah. Having human livestock in general is already evil.

[soft vapor]

Such an unexpected and pretty quest this was

[rough smelt]

They got the old glitch where they randomly stand up and can't feed off them so know i just use them to farm skills

[rough smelt]

Being a vampire has a new downside in the remaster sudden hairloss

[soft vapor]

Good god the property value in Cheydinhal is almost as bad as my hometown!

[rough smelt]

No wounder these cities have homeless pepole 15k gold for a empty house

[soft vapor]

Facts, I haven't even had 1500 gold at any given time in the game so far

I'm constantly broke because I suck at persuasion so I'm bribing everyone

[rough smelt]

Im to lazy to figure out the minigame

[soft vapor]

I have a rough idea of how it works, I'm just not good at it

[wispy wing]

Loot.

[soft vapor]

Same with lockpicking, the whole reason I went to Cheydinhal was to level up my alteration so I can start using open lock spells

[wispy wing]

Push your haggling limit.

[soft vapor]

I guess I'm too early game to know where the good loot is at

I've been haggling a little here and there

I also really need to continue the main quest because I've heard that if I level up too much, things get chaotic as hell really quick

[wispy wing]

If it looks like it sells for a decent amount, grab it.

Early on only really enchanted stuff is worth grabbing.

Mercantile experience is based on the amount it is sold for.

[soft vapor]

I'm definitely due for a blade upgrade, I've been using the Debaser for several days now

[rough smelt]

Better then the old system

[soft vapor]

I've only been to the Imperial City, Chorrol, and Cheydenhal so far but most of the merchants don't have anything better than what I currently have in terms of equipment

[wispy wing]

There's a sword you can get in a short quest in the waterfront that drains stamina.

Kind of a side upgrade, but draining stamina is usually a more useful effect.

[soft vapor]

I'm just hoping to find something with higher damage soon

[wispy wing]

What level are you?

[soft vapor]

Level 6, and the debaser's current damage is only 5

[rough smelt]

Is debaser a shortblade or a longblade

[wispy wing]

Dwarven weapons should begin spawning at level 6 in the hands of bandits and whatnot.

[soft vapor]

Shortblade, I got it from the gravedigger dude who lured me into the mauseleum and tried to kill me

Nice, I was wondering when I'd start seeing those

Currently have a fine steel bow, which isn't too bad at this level but hopefully I'll get something better soon as well

[wispy wing]

Weapons and armours of the same tier appear in different level brackets.

So while dwarven weapons will appear at level 6, armour will not until like level 10.

Elven weapons are like level 9, but armour is like level 15.

[soft vapor]

That makes sense, I'm guessing it's the next major type above steel?

[wispy wing]

Yes.

[rough smelt]

I thought it was sliver then dwavern

[wispy wing]

Silver always spawns.

You can just kill most guards for silver swords and bows.

[soft vapor]

Actually I have come across a few silver weapons, but most have the same damage output as my current ones

They are worth more though, so I've taken some just for selling

I never was one for magic when I played skyrim and that wasn't really the plan going into oblivion but I'm starting to see what the hype is about, there are some incredibly useful spells that make me wish I invested more into intelligence at the start

[wispy wing]

Elven is the highest tier of equipment to spawn in shops, everything after that must be hunted down.

Also they spawn in shops later than they spawn on enemies.

[soft vapor]

I spammed the protect spell for like 10 minutes straight to get to journeyman alteration just so I can use the open easy lock spell

[wispy wing]

So dwarven weapons won't be in shops until like level 9.

Oblivion is very much a "hunt down equipment" game.

Marauders spawn with heavy armour, bandits with light.

The leaders tend to have the best stuff available at your level.

[soft vapor]

I see, well it does help in motivation to go out and fuck up bandits' days

[wispy wing]

Yep.

[rough smelt]

I will allwas use mithtil armor even if its not the best

[rough smelt]

I hope es6 dosent take away more cool lore

[rough smelt]

Is unarmed any fun i never tried in original or remastered

[rough bone]

Yes

Its extremely fun

[rough smelt]

When im finish with my spellsword I'll do monk run

[rough bone]

Dremora and Xivali thinking they all big and bad until a blood starved high elf vampire falls out of a portal to Nirn, gets up and starts punching daedra to death

"Just set him on fire."
Nah. That doesnt work. Hes too fast and he's got elemental resistances from a set of rings.

[rough smelt]

50 skooma down

Allso wanted to try battlemage I think that's more mage focused then spellsword

[rough smelt]

Still can't tell what one fits me more lol

[rough bone]

Come hang out in my tower, Aura

[soft vapor]

I like to storm castles Naruto-style

[drifting kite]

Thats more Leroy Jenkins style tbh

[quartz siren]

I’m arch mage but I don’t have the master wizard achievement, tried going back and redoing everything, still wouldn’t give it to me.

[rough smelt]

Did you use console commands ever?

[quartz siren]

I’m on Xbox

[rough smelt]

Odd

[rough smelt]

Arena boots looks like a pain to wear and takeoff

[magic comet]

This is a well-known issue. A few of the quests aren't tied to advancements in the normal way, and it is possible to completely skip the rank of Master Wizard.

[rough smelt]

You can skip asking for master wizard?

[magic comet]

Yep! When you come back to Raminus Polis after "Vahtecen's Secret," he offers your next assignment immediately. If you accept it, you skip the advancement to Master Wizard. You have to tell him you're not ready yet and then re-engage in dialogue and select 'Advancement.'

[rough bone]

I probably will need to go back and get that at some point in another play through

[eager sinew]

Surprised we havent gotten any patches yet

[rough smelt]

Same

It's minor but the argoigan tail bug annoys me

And vampires randomly go bald

[quartz siren]

Thanks for letting me know I’ll load an old save and get the achievement some time later it’s the last one I need besides all the shivering isle ones

[rough smelt]

Playing as a breaton spellsword rn but I wanna do a pure mage argogian and im missing my tail

[eager sinew]

I just want them to add a difficulty between expert and adept

[rough smelt]

Same

I love the female iron armor changd

[soft vapor]

These guys lose a bet or something?

[rough smelt]

The escut of chorrol or spellbreaker

[wispy wing]
