Scions of Mara

The Scions of Mara I. Structure While Scions are not a guild recognized by Imperial law, have no guild halls public or otherwise, and are not organized in increasing gradients of authority, it may be more convenient to think of the Scions as a guild. Most Scions operate independently of each other,...

Stealing one instance on an item in Morrowind = all such items are now considered stolen. Is that really better? At least in Oblivion you can tell what's been stolen, and won't have whole stacks of legitimately acquired items taken from you when arrested. I'll take "How do they know..." ov...

Oblivion sucks and Morrowind rocks. There are a few things I like from Oblivion: 1) It's prettier, although that's inevitable with newer games. 2) It has physics beyond jumping. 3) It handles theft/ownership better. 4) Blocking isn't totally random. Although 2 has a drawback -- sometimes I don't re...

Chimer were the race that became the Dunmer. There are no more Chimer because every individual Chimer became a Dunmer.

Dwemer were just Dwemer (sometimes called Dwarves, but that still referrs to the same race), and are no more.
