Tamriel Rebuilt

ookami

we'll just have a unique worldspace for each province. For clarification, is this to say that you can have the worldmap basically separated into segments that will switch over appropriately? That is to say, you wouldn't be able to see all of Tamriel at once as a single accurate worldmap, but you co...

Did the Americas have horses? In the real world before europe found it? Nope. Well then, should Tamriel have buffalo? Perhaps Tamriel did not originally have horses, but they were introduced to Tamriel in much the same way they were introduced to the Americas. Maybe Tamriel orginally had them and i...

If that's actually Stumpy, I have one question: Is that movie properly edited to remove 'spam' content?

You forgot my usual style. Style: No Photo What they want you to think: Too hip to be bothered with putting up a photo for the unworthy What it really means: Are just way too ugly and too considerate to expose other people to their hideousness AND/OR they just don't give enough of a damn to put up a...

Well, it doesn't get much more 'optional' than a bolt-on, so I think that's the best course of action. I'm sure the people who use and enjoy plug-ins such as Necessities of Morrowind and Weather Effects (which is kind of neat) would appreciate it. I hope the Bethesda devs give us bedrolls and things...

That's the problem. I don't know what I did that made it work. It really ended up being a uninstall-reinstall bit of fiddling with it and then it worked. I was just pointing out that the new (1.2) nif scripts do work with blender 2.40. Maybe it's just a lucky accident to get them to work. But make s...

The 1.2 nif scripts work fine for me in blender 2.40. I don't think I did anything special. I have Python 2.4.2 installed. It didn't work at first, so I completely wiped the old blender folder and my python installation, restarted, re-installed... and it worked just fine. You might see if installing...

Um... is that yes meaning no or no meaning yes?

But the webs of the hands and feet might not be quite so prominent if the creature also climbs trees and such.

Guars seem reptilian to me. I don't know of any reptiles which lactate, but if a mammal can lay eggs and be venomous (in real life even), then I guess it's fair game for a reptile to lactate. This is fantasy, after all.

Now that I think of it, are rats the only mammalian wildlife on Vvardenfell?

ookami

The Sxehl-Kuu'naskh concept looks great (as do all your concept pieces), but seems more fitting as a daedric creature design rather than a mundus creature. Looks like it might bear some relation to the Vermai. But I think it's still very fitting for the Black Marsh environment.

I guess I have a head start. It has probably been over 10 years since my television has spent any time tuned to CBS. And from the very little I've seen of CSI, it's clearly sensationalized, over-generalizing crap.

It's good, but it still looks a bit goofy. I suggest referencing this pic for the look of the eyes and such.

Why hasn't anyone made ridable Guars? It's always horses. That's what I've wondered. So, I just took the Pegas Horse Ranch scripts and used them with pack guars. It's a quick and dirty work-around, but it's nothing that I ever intend for anyone else's use (I'd have to get max's permission for that)...

Since Caius gives you his clothes before he leaves, he might not just be half-naked this time.

That's hooka (or hookah).

ookami

Well, the goat (as a symbol) does carry some rather arcane and sinister connotations, so it's not too terribly out of place there.

It could certainly be worse. He could have been named Cricetine or Lumbricine.

Outside of an invasion scenario, I don't see why they would be in Tamriel.

I know the metal composing most of the shield is supposed to be an unknown alloy, but is the material within the circles supposed to be ebony? Whatever the case may be, it looks great.

My apologies. I edited my message. I use 'they' because I haven't really contributed anything except my opinion, thus I don't feel justified in using 'we'. Also, continually using 'TR' feels a bit awkward. By 'they' I mean the people who are really in there doing the work. It is people, right?

ookami

But isn't that also Bethesda's fault for scaling down distances for TESIII: Morrowind ? Since TR has a policy of not altering the original landmass (and very little besides that) of the game, they kind of have to work with what they're presented. If the original was a bit scaled down, TR ends up bei...

ookami

I think you might have misread a snide comment from someone suggesting that TR would soon move on to the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion engine, not the actual location Oblivion. TR is not even completely finished with a single province yet, muchless ready to move to a place that isn't even Tamriel.

I don't think Jale was at all suggesting that exact helmet. I'm pretty sure that Jale was suggesting a helmet style similar to that, but modified to suit a feline.

ookami

The idea about that occured to me because of all those instruction manuals found in Bamz-Amschend (in Tribunal). Perhaps a scholarly (though not particularly brave) tailor could ask the player to find an illustrated (or just text saying that the book is about this or that like most of the other Dwem...

We don't need our honour defended at ESF. We're just modders, not chivalric knights. Now those are words of wisdom. Getting the work done and releasing a truly glorious mod will be much more effective than lip service in making those ESF nay-sayers eat their words (and maybe some crow on the side)....

ookami

I guess for lore purposes, it could be supposed that those two books aren't gibberish but not straight-forward Dwemeris either (whereas something like Hanging Gardens was pretty straight-forward). Perhaps they were written in a Dwemer cipher to which only an upper circle of tonal architects were pri...

ookami

I must admit that Bethesda really has made it pretty much speculation-proof in that respect. If you don't want to contradict them in any way, you just have to have them draw you a map if they will.

Savant wrote:-mountain lions (although its probably too similar to the sabertooth tigers)

The sabretooths wouldn't be in the same area as the mountain lions, though, right? If there's more than one type of bear, there could be more than one type of big cat. As a fantasy variant, how about a mountain sabretooth?

Does this mean that dragonlings are to High Rock what cliff racers are to Morrowind? I guess either way the real dragons still get chased out.

That is some good looking stuff! I can hardly wait to see more.

Is that 'first law' stated anywhere in TES lore? I'm willing to buy into the matter displacement theory, though, in this case. I don't think the Dwemer were actually destroyed. They might have been changed in a way that not even Yagrum would recognize them or they could be somewhere that can't even ...

ookami

That looks absolutely great! I was wondering when someone was going to make one since I noticed it in The Art of Morrowind. I always wondered why it didn't make it into the original game.

ookami

Their books seem to have survived fairly well, though. Perhaps there's a Dwemer tailor's manual and design book somewhere. Of course, almost anything to do with the Dwemer is treading into dangerous lore territory (where it is better not to tamper).

ookami

Considering that it is described as being 'hundreds of feet' tall, I'd have to predict that it would be a lethal fall from the top of the tower (if you didn't manage to save yourself with a spell or something).

I don't even think you can add new weather effects to morrowind--thats hardwired into the program. If true, that's a shame. Certainly there must be some parts of Tamriel with weather effects that don't show up in Morrowind or Solstheim. Windy tropical-type storms, sand storms (which I guess could b...

Nice work. With a little tightening up, I think that's something Nobuo Uematsu could be proud of.

It really doesn't have to do much with public safety. Alcohol is, apparently, simply easier to regulate than something like crack. If it's easy to regulate, the government gets their taxes. The government is thus made happy and could care less if you kill yourself with alcohol.

I think that wolves and bears and such should have exaggerated dire versions in some parts of Skyrim.

I think that fits together much better. I do think it does need some protection in the seat, just not made of the spikey scales. Maybe something like the texture running down the middle of the back on the cuirass and side of the legs would work (or even something that drapes down from the back of th...

Since the style so similar to the Japanese bow (yuki), perhaps it could be another weapon from Akavir.
