And...later they talk about how the game really gets good once you hit level 50, because then you'll be doing lots of PVP and raids.
...
Okay, when this was first announced, my expectations of it were extremely low. So how the hell does every damn thing I hear about it make them lower?!
And...then they say that PVP is supposed to be for characters of every level. Are they even listening to themselves?
(Haha nearly a month late.)
No, the civil war isn't just Skyrim. It's Stormcloaks vs. Imperials, SKyrim and Cyrodiil.
There's also the stuff going on Elseweyr and in Bosmer-land.
Empire is fucked. Thalmor master-race reporting in.
Nah. Depending on how the Dragonborn thing goes, and how fast the Empire and Skyrim got their shit together, they may be able to weather it.
You do realize that if the Thalmor succeed in their plans, they will all die, right?
Well yeah they want to go to a time before creation before we know it, that's nothing new as far as Altmeri motivations are concerned.
Think Dwemer had a similar idea, whether or not they suceeded is unknown I think.
No, Dwemer had a totally different motivation.
It's not so much removing themselves from the physical plane as just blowing up the universe and hoping that does the trick.
Is it wrong that I oppose wielding swords on principle?
Yes.
But I always wanted to be a
No reason you can't be both.
My mistake, Nova. Won't happen again.
Man, I just realized how dickish a TRUE Nord would be.
We have like ten of these threads :V
But this is the main one.
About as dickish as they are presented in the lore?
Think about it. A TRUE (read: stereotypical) Nord is violent, racist, chauvinistic and a drunkard. That is a volatile combination right there.
That's exactly how they are presented in-game!
Sounds like those two guys in the pub I frequent.
Nords are cast as stereotypically stupid in jokes of the Iliac Bay.
Eh, they aren't presented as quite as bad as the Dunmer in Morrowind. Now, those were fun xenophobic. Ah, the good old days of "We're watching you... scum." And then what happened to my poor, poor Resdayn? A moon and Almsivi-damned lizard people who should rather work the plantations then make trouble!
I wonder what Nerevarine's up to, there in Akavir.
I must say, I'm mildly peeved about this cop-out explanation. I mean, okay, I get Bethesda needs to have a unitary history for all of Tamriel, so what the player did in MW must not end up mattering. And an immortal Nerevarine would really be in the way of a unified timeline, too. So the best way to solve this is to press the reset button: Have Morrowind be nuked and let the Nerevarine disappear. So, I can understand the reasons, but the end result really is that your actions in MW now somehow don't matter because the country is still utterly devastated. Probably even more so than it would have been under Dagoth Ur.
So all your efforts, for nought. Unless you did what you did for the Empire, but to hell with that notion
Except that what the Nerevarine did actually did matter. Without them, Dagoth Ur would have awoken the Numidium/Akulakhan and continued spreading Corprus, Tamriel would be screwed, do not pass go, do not collect 200 Septims.
Hence why I specifically said "what I did for Morrowind" and "screw the Empire", i.e. Tamriel
You also said "Probably even more so than it would have been under Dagoth Ur.", so...
No, it resulted in the Thalmor sending in some guys to do some ethnic cleansing while their main force is still preparing. It also resulted in Skyrim dismantling itself instead of preparing for war with the Thalmor.
Precisely. It's hard to get more devastated than "Blighted zombie wasteland that's been attacked with a giant mecha."
Uh, yes. Morrowind as it it now is (moon landing, red mountain erupting, Vvardenfell breaking apart, Daedric invasion, Argonian invasion) may well be more devastated than it would have been under Dagoth Ur. So in regards to Morrowind at least, all the Nerevarine did was for nothing.
As I've said, the conflict over the Talos ban would sooner or later have to be fought openly anyway. The only problem here is the side the Empire took.
Morrowind during Skyrim is still habitable, if not wonderfully so. Under Dagoth Ur, not so much.
