Yes but we were aware of the Night Mother from the very start.

We could always make the person a eunuch.

Jale

Im with sload on this one: Morrowind MT: Male Head/Female God Oblivion DB: Female Head/Ambiguous but suggested Male God There isn't really a pattern alongside 'no god' if we make it male or female. I think female is better really. Better yet we should make it clear there is a male heir, possibly by ...

Typo on Interviewed Also most of the videos don't show our work, they show Beth's work. There are a couple of nice shots of Firewatch, but most of the pictures didn't show anything that I wouldn't be thinking "hey...isn't that just Vos? Or Ebonheart?" We have created many more unique piece...

Jale

By giving them unique titles you imply they are different stories, which they really are not. There is a difference between a book released in chapters, such as how Charles Dickens did it, which is a good way, and a series where each chapter says absolutely nothing. Even changing the titles would be...

Whelp there you go then.

Atheist assassins ftw.

Jale

Well flick back a few pages and you will see that they are a splinter group that actually worshiped Boethiah.

Though that is really old. Thing is, I don't think the Yoku gods are 'dishonourable' enough to make sense as patrons of assassins. Perhaps a sort of yoku-ed up daedra.

Might I suggest a slightly more dramatic title than Dinner? It isn't exactly a Banquet but perhaps...Rendezvous? Dinner just sounds too drab, like Cyrus the Restless and the Case of the Mismatched Socks.

Jale

One style point: you might want to mix it up a bit with your synonyms for Sabre (british spelling used by me, but Saber used in game I believe...might be worth checking that though). You said Saber at least a dozen times, sword about three times and blade once or twice. It's okay but there are some ...

WEll it will be on System

But you should know if you are using Windows Vista...XP....etc

The first problems is seams, I made only a quarter of the bridge and duplicated that quarter four times and put the bridge together. I did this to make the bridge symmetrical, but now you can some seams between the different parts when moving the camera in Max. Will this lead to problems or uglines...

Now excuse me, Im going to go back to reading 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone'.

Hands off our history!

Go read about your civil war, or as we know it 'The Trouble in the Colonies'

Jale

Well I am of the opinion that there would be a few...Worm King, Worm God, and then just...worms. But that's a story for another day, I believe.

Those necromancers could not have been from Scourg barrow. Case in point? They were all alive. No lichs.

Jale

Out of curiosity, if the necromancers in Oblivion were in fact a mere shock force, why would Mannimarco come in person? Well I always was of the opinion that THAT Mannimarco was an imposter, but thats not the party line. Essentially they were going for a quick invasion, recruiting, training and res...

Who would the Rourken be fighting in Hammerfell? Nobody. I meant on an aesthetic level. Keep up. [quote="Harke the Apostle]]Isn't Fang Lair just built over the crater where Volendrung fell?[/quote] There is no spot on identification of the mythical impact site (bear in mind it is a myth...) bu...

Bonelords and Bonewalkers are not summoned by necromancy. They guard ancestral tombs and holy sites. Nerevar Indoril was summoned as a bonelord or bonewalker I forget. The Dunmer are quite firm in their separating Temple-related conjurations from necromantic ones. The conjuration aspect is tricky. ...

Jale

Essentially. Or a mausoleum, each statue representing a fallen Dwemer.

Jale

Large mech constructions. A giant metal skeleton. Shit like that. Implications that they might have been involved on some level.

Another idea might be something like the Terracotta army.

Biochemistry - Berg, Tymcsko and Stryer

Wooo university preparation.

Jale

ummm why would they put an airship in a mine? or in any underground passage for that matter? wouldnt it be stored in a near-surface-level structure a la the observatories from morrowind? Yes I was thinking that even when I posted it... The factory for the airships could be anywhere, and if we were ...

Jale

The mummy is in Daggerfall, and the Book 'Preparation of the Corpse'. It was absent from Morrowind probably because of their own native form of Necromancy (extensive exotic manipulation of corpses, no bothering with paltry Zombies). If we were to pretend that Oblivion was made by people who cared ab...

Thanks TF, I appreciate the sentiment. Harke, you are welcome to provide constructive input, but if the topic is not to your liking then please do feel free to move along. Unless you were not aware, I provide you this courtesy with most of the books you write. I am not saying this to be impolite, bu...

Jale

I don't bother myself with the Official Forums, and if you are bored of it don't read it.

Wait and see.

Jale

Harke, this is for the basis of some books I am preparing, and I want the lore agreed on before I proceed. If you disagree with any of the points then please put a constructive post down.

Jale

Well borders do shift, and it is entirely plausible that in the 1300 years since the events of 2920 the border has been moved or the fortress altered, especially considering the 'new management'. I for one could envisage an Imperial fort on top of an old Dunmeri Stronghold, with walls below bricked ...

This is a general dump on my musings about the topic of Necromancy. On Souls, Bodies and Receptacles The Natural State of Affairs Each person or beast has a spirit or soul. A body is a natural receptacle of a soul. In the higher races (men, mer, beastfolk...) the soul is protected by Arkay, and cann...

Well the place was ultimately 'a mine', but then again this was back when the Dwemer were Tolkein-esque Dwarves, not elves, so they were probably thinking more Mines of Moria than a coalpit. Were I designing it in my mind with less respect for our hardworking modellers I would make one section of th...

Sniper, am I right in recalling that Arena rooms could only ever be about one story high..either there was a ceiling there or it was sky?

I reckon were Beth to remake it today the bottom hall would be very tall.

Jale

According to this map (though I thought the game was randomly generated...): http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/564545/49040 It looks like part of the rod on a fairly ceremonial looking lava-circled island. I never got there myself but I doubt it is anything decent, knowing the limitations...

Jale

Cleaning takes all of two minutes, and it is pretty good practice to do it for any file that you want inspected.

Jale

Also, just a language point but 'Testisland', though meant to mean 'Test Island' could equally be 'Testis Land'...the land of testicles.

Keep this up, though.

*FACEPALM*

That's exactly why they would be GOOD to put there. They want to be secret. Who would expect it. It's a huge place, even if there is lava at the bottom, there is plenty of other space.

Keep up.

Jale

First person to suggest anything like a Balrog will get Desu-PM-Spammed into submission. In all seriousness its hard to think of anything decent to put down there. Perhaps a lich enclave who don't like the Barrow...a secretive mage group embroiled in a conspiracy to take over Hammerfell...A Kogotong...

I declare it a bad idea.

-It is from Gladiator and thus unoriginal
-It does not fit with established lore (namely arenas in previous games)
-It is a dull way to have them killing people, not imaginative enough.

In no way is it a good idea. Drop it.

Jale

Who pays to watch untrained vermin when a decent fight could be seen? Nobody. Especially not the Dres. It would be an uncreative way to die.

Jale

Gladiators were usually slaves or convicts. Put down Spartacus and pick up the game you are trying to talk about. This is Elder Scrolls. Gladiators are paid fighters. The whole game was originally going to be about getting paid to fight. Yeh they might throw them in with some better fighters...but ...

Chuck em in a pit of voracious mudcrabs.

The ravenous mudcrabs of Morrowind can strip a corpse down to its bones in a matter of days.

Totally my style there.

That works on the assumption that Tamriel ever really evolved, and was not simply sculpted by gods. There is a heckuva lot of evidence that the Gods are very very real in Tamriel, By most reckonings the world is only a few thousand years old anyway, so only the very oldest peoples would be anywhere ...
