Where are you at?

Post by Magpie »

Hi, I came around last year, though I was contentious and didn't find the direction or interpretation of the project to be promotional of the Elder Scrolls. You probably hated me, though I got angry when I saw all the TR work seemed to be ending, and only having served the culture of slavery. Ending without a fight, I thought. My anger was not really about slavery, but that TR seemed to be making easy and colorful target NPCs for Telvanni spells, that I hated.

That all seemed generic beyond my coping. Just me, anyway, you guys still calling the Redguard savages and dressing them in linen and wicker?

The project for Oblivion was dropped by TR, and this project prides itself on providing a rich, immersive experience that rivals or surpasses that of Bethesda's work. If you have a specific gripe about our work, feel free to air it in a constructive manner. We can take an insult, but we'd appreciate specificity.

I didn't remember you until I read that last part of your paragraph. We were never painting them as savages, and if you read everything in that thread instead of just focusing on the bits you had a problem with you would have seen that this was the case. The redguards we envisioned were badass super warriors who wore magical porcelain and blew up their homeland with nuclear sword techniques. The dunedwellers were nomadic peoples who managed to survive in one of the harshest climates in Tamriel.

Really, anything can be badass if presented right, you just have to open your mind and stop thinking about things in the perspective of the real world.

To actually answer your question, we never did call them savages, and there is nothing wrong with any variety of clothing.

Firstly TR isn't ending in the near (and even far) future. Second the Telvanni are been slavers in the original MW so making them slave owners in TR isn't generic to my mind.

That's awfully mean of you to say that. You don't like my work?

here and there. I was pulled into the realm of corporeal existence by a Sload, Lorkhan, a Bartow and a slew of other things comprised of a secret society in worship of a Monkey-god.

yourself?

Reviewing and administrating. Oh, somehow I'm the nice admin now.

You wouldn't happen to have any interest in drawing for us again would you? I forget what exactly we need drawn at the moment, but I know we need something and I know you'd draw it well.

Possiblai, although it doesn't immediately look apparent for what's left in Morrowind. I could pop in and divulge, although my skills are currently volunteered in a pocket dimension for Marukh.

I like what's being made thus far, however :D

HAHA

Dude you're talking about a project that was at the time directed by the angriest leftist on the face of God's green earth. Culture of slavery my ass. You were bitching because the chairs weren't going to be made of metal.

I hate it when people compare Morrowind with real life racism (and trust me, I've seen others make ignorant claims like that), especially if it's about TR.

Could there be real life inspirations for Morrowind, as well as TR? Of course. Could they be designed to incite racism? No.

Morrowind always kinda reminded me of cultures of ancient civilizations (the mediterranean and mesopotamian cultures, to be specific), and I saw no problem with that. And hell, slavery's been around forever, and STILL exists in many third-world nations.

Oh, and awesome drawing, lutemoth! And long live TR!

This thread needed a lock before it was even made.

frankly, I don't see why it was even made.

I do want to say though, it summoned Lutemoth from whatever dimension he was hiding in, so at least it was productive.
